This paper proposes the reduction in consumption as a virtual generation added to the system and it can be treated as a demand resource for optimal dispatch. DR cost function is proposed which looks like the cost function for conventional generation to make an optimal combination between both DR and conventional generators, to operate the power system. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique is used to get the optimal load dispatch considering DR as a demand resource. The optimal dispatch is obtained using MATLAB software by determining the operating cost of 6- bus distribution system with five generators and four DR.</span></strong>Mansoura University, Faculty of EngineeringMEJ- Mansoura Engineering Journal1110-092341120200630A Hybrid Dynamic Programming and Neural Network Approach to Unit Commitment with High Renewable Penetration.7179933210.21608/bfemu.2020.99332ENSahar SedkyKaddahProf, Electrical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering Mansoura University, Egypt, She is the head of Electrical Engineering DepartmentK.

To ensure economical with the stochastic nature of renewable sources, it is essential to develop an efficient forecasting model for renewable power generation. Forecasting model was built by using a hybrid Markov to forecast solar radiation, while, autoregressive integrated moving average model is used to predict wind speed. UC problem incorporates with forecasting, the proposed formulation aims to minimize total production cost. The total production cost includes the fuel costs, environmental cost, operation and maintenance cost (O&M cost), start-up cost, and shutdown cost. UC formulation is subject to multi-constraints. These constraints are system constraint, thermal unit constraints, renewable sources constraints and storage unit's constraint. Also, reserve coefficient is modified to overcome the variation and error of renewable source forecasting by developing two new reserves; up reserve and down spinning reserve. The unit commitment algorithm is solved by simple, fast, and accurate optimization technique. So, hybrid optimization technique used to solve UC is dynamic programming based on neural network. The proposed hybrid techniquemakes the solution faster and more accurate compared with the other techniques.

Within the many options and actions for mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions, CO<sub>2</sub> capture and storage is emerging as a viable option to achieve the very deep cuts in emissions that might be needed in the medium term. One promising means of CO<sub>2</sub> capture for fossil fuels based power plants is to use a lime carbonation–calcination cycle. The aim of the current work is to enhance the carbonation process by applying jetting fountain fluidized bed. A jetting fountain fluidized bed reactor has been designed, fabricated and installed to carry out the experimental work. It has 105 mm ID and 4000 mm height. Jabal al-Tair limestone has been utilized as bed materials. During the tests a mixture of nitrogen and carbon dioxide, that simulates exhaust gases (15% CO<sub>2</sub>), is fed through a bed of lime particles. The lime particles are carbonated by capturing CO<sub>2</sub>. The concentration of CO<sub>2</sub> is measured after the bed to estimate the quantities of CO<sub>2</sub> that combined with the lime particles. The influences of operating conditions including bed temperature, fluidization velocity, jet air ratio and jet orifice height on the capture efficiency of CO<sub>2</sub> have been studied. The findings of the present work indicate that the jetting fountain fluidized bed is more efficient in carbonation where the CaO conversion rate increases and the time required for full conversion reduces. Applying jetting fountain configuration enhances gas solids contact and improves the interphases mass exchange between bubbles and emulsion. The capture efficiency of CO<sub>2</sub> rate was found to improve with bed temperature and fluidization velocity. On the other side, studying the influences of jet air ratio and jet orifice height demonstrate that there is an intermediate value at which the capture efficiency records an optimal</strong>Mansoura University, Faculty of EngineeringMEJ- Mansoura Engineering Journal1110-092341120200630Effect of Tool Geometry, Feed Rate, and Rotational Speed of Thermal Friction Drilling Process on AISI 304 Stainless Steel.9159934310.21608/bfemu.2020.99343ENSara A.El-BahloulAsst.

Most of the interest on the heat transfer problems is the two cases of the uniform wall temperature and uniform heat flux. However, the heat-transfer problems with non-uniform heating are also investigated by a few studies. The purpose of this work is to obtain a more general simple expression for any heat flux density and temperature profiles using compact thermal model which offers many advantages over the traditional approach using the heat transfer coefficient (i.e. any space distribution, not just uniform).</strong><strong> Thus</strong><strong>, a steady state compact thermal model is established and used to study Conjugate heat transfer through circular duct. The flow is considered to be laminar and hydrodynamically fully developed through the entire duct length. The temperature distributions of the moving fluid inside the duct at different sections have been presented for all investigated cases.</strong><strong>The compact thermal model also used to investigate temperature distribution and the heat flux at the interface for conjugate heat transfer.</strong>Mansoura University, Faculty of EngineeringMEJ- Mansoura Engineering Journal1110-092341120200630Performance Evaluation of Internally Cooled Adsorption Solid Desiccant Bed.24309935910.21608/bfemu.2020.99359ENAssemKhalilTanta University, Faculty of Engineering, Mechanical Power Dept., Egypt.E.

The inlet and exit air temperature and relative humidity, air velocity, the inlet and exit water temperature and water flow rate are measured. Moisture removal rate is calculated. The results show that the internally cooling significantly enhances the performance of desiccant bed and the adsorption process can be done at nearly isothermal process. The enhancement in bed performance can be more than 50% due to internal cooling. Moisture removal rate sharply increases by increasing air flow rate in both adsorption and desorption processes.

Therefore a walk-in cold room working with vapor compression cycle is constructed to compare the performance of the high GWP refrigerant R134a to low GWP refrigerant R1234ze in a trail to provide a solution to the problem of high GWP of refrigerants currently used in cold rooms. The results obtained in this study have shown that, the cooling capacity of R1234ze was lower than that of R134a by 2% to 13%. The lowest evaporating temperature that could be reached for R1234ze is -13 <sup>o</sup>C while the lowest temperature of R134a is – 30 <sup>o</sup>C. Regarding the power consumption, R1234ze has lower power consumption than R134a by about 9% to 15% therefore it can be concluded that R 1234ze can be recommended to be used at high and medium evaporating temperature after carrying out the modification on the refrigeration cycle</strong>Mansoura University, Faculty of EngineeringMEJ- Mansoura Engineering Journal1110-092341120200630Kinetic Energy and Momentum Coefficients for Egyptian Irrigation Canals.1169936810.21608/bfemu.2020.99368ENA.

Six cases of study from them having different degrees, starting from rayyahs to distributer canals with 10 successive cross sections for each reach, were carefully selected with discharge values ranged from 489.7 m3/s to 0.4 m3/s. The different properties and flow characteristics of each cross section were obtained. The arithmetic method was used in the computation process of α and β values due to its accuracy using a prepared excel program to facilitate the calculations. It was found that the computed values of α and β approximately match with Chow’s table with average values of about 1.30 and 1.11 respectively, for canals under study, which could be used for field applications. It was also found that the average values of α and β for each canal increased with the increase of the canal degree but the maximum and the minimum values may be independent of the canal degree. General relationships relating α and β for each canal and for all canals under study have been derived. Moreover, correlation relationships for both α and β with a ratio correlating maximum and mean velocities (</strong> <strong>), Manning’s roughness coefficient (n), and different values of discharge and channel characteristics were performed. The cross section properties had intangible effect on the values of both α and β but these values were strongly dependent on the velocity distribution shape.
