This study is an emphasis on the metal halide perovskite solar cells that are susceptible to factors that influence their power conversion efficiency (PCE). Perovskite solar cells, also known as PSCs, have been shown to have a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) due to a number of various factors. As they reached a power conversion efficiency of 25%, solar cells based on metal halide perovskite were a game-changer in the quest for photovoltaic performance. A flurry of activity in the fields of structure design, materials chemistry, process engineering, and device physics has helped the solid-state perovskite solar cell to become a leading contender for the next generation of solar energy harvesters in the world today. This follows up on the ground-breaking development of the solid-state perovskite solar cell in 2012. This cell has a higher efficiency compared to commercial silicon or other organic and inorganic solar cells, as well as a lower cost of materials and processes. However, it has the disadvantage that these high efficiencies can only be obtained with lead-based perovskites, which increases the cost of the cell. As a result of this fact, a new study area on lead-free metal halide perovskites was established, and it is now exhibiting a remarkable degree of vibrancy. This provided us with the impetus to review this burgeoning area of research and discuss possible alternative elements according to current theoretical and practical investigations that might be utilized to replace lead in metal halide perovskites as well as the features of the perovskite materials that correspond to these elements.

In this study, mechanical tests were performed on a Chinese car bumper of the Chery model, which was chosen for examination due to its widespread use in Iraqi streets. It was also compared to the best specimens obtained in these study stages. Glass fiber mats and nanoparticles have been mixed with the unsaturated polyester resin (UPE) in two stages. In the first stage, the fibers have been mixed with a volume fraction of 14% and the mechanical properties have been calculated. In the second stage, different weight fractions of nanoparticles of zirconium oxide (ZrO2) were added to the mixture, and the mechanical tests were recalculated. The experimental test's results illustrated that the tensile strength, fracture toughness, and damping ratio of the composite material were enhanced when mixing 14% vf of glass fiber mats with unsaturated polyester resin by about (285.85%, 207.56%, and 100%) respectively, compared to the car bumper, while the ratio of impact resistance decreased by about (-24.55%). The same tests were repeated after adding different weight fractions (1%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%) of (ZrO2) and it was observed that adding the nanoparticles had a significant effect on the mechanical properties since at first, it improved them until the nanoparticles ratio reached 2.5 wt.%, but any higher addition than this ratio caused a decrease in the enhancement of the mechanical properties. Thus, it was found that adding 2.5 wt.% nanoparticles gave us the best improvement in the tensile strength, impact resistance, fracture toughness, and damping ratio by about (436.32%, 47.28%, 438.66%, and 52.3%) respectively, compared to the car bumper properties.

Ductile Cast Iron is a widely used cast iron. Ductile iron applications are used in various sectors of modern mechanical industries. Ductile iron has wide uses in the field of car industry, military industries, agricultural equipment, construction and mines. The production of ductile iron faces many technical difficulties in our local factories due to the difficulty in providing equipment and technologies for its production by common methods. In this study, we resorted to applying one of the modern methods in the production of ductile iron, which is the treatment process for the molten iron in the sand mold. Magnesium alloys were added inside the sand mold within the casting stream and in the casting cavity for casting production. Specific weights were added and experiments were performed to determine the fusible chemical composition appropriate for preparing ductile cast iron. The study proved that adding magnesium alloys inside the sand mold, whether inside the mold cavity or in the casting channel, is both a successful method for producing ductile iron alloys. It is possible to produce different types of ductile iron by controlling the ratio of alloy additions to the molten metal content during casting.

The world is evolving toward a circular economy, which focuses on decreasing waste and extending the life of commodities. This work suggests using waste of glass to prepare composite. Epoxy was reinforced 50% by weight using waste glass. At room temperature were prepared samples reinforced and unreinforced and immersed in five solutions (HCl, Water, NaOH, Kerosene and Benzene) for four weeks, to find out the resistance of the epoxy after reinforcing. It is found that reinforced samples have resistance of increased after immersion in corrosive media comparison pure epoxy and it was obvious that the hardness were modified by 57% and remain constant during the immersion period in solutions. After immersing specimens in HCl the weight of the specimens decreases by 3.6%, unlike other solutions the weight of the specimens’ increase. Indicating that epoxy gains resistance after being reinforced with glass waste, allowing it to be used in a variety of applications.

Aluminum is one of the most versatile engineering metals, finding its use in a variety of fields including construction, architecture, aerospace, automotive, consumer products, and many more. The high demand for aluminum production is driven by its advantageous physical, chemical, and mechanical properties, such as a high strength to weight ratio and good corrosion resistance. Additionally, aluminum can be recycled using processes that require only a fraction of the energy required for primary production. Aluminum recycling is primarily accomplished by melting in foundries. In some aluminum foundries, a large amount of energy is lost due to poor insulation and an inaccurate knowledge of the crucible temperature. This project focused on designing a safe, efficient electric aluminum foundry. Using theoretical calculations, an electric foundry was designed to melt 3.0 kg of aluminum cans using ~9 MJ of energy. A prototype was successfully fabricated and tested with attention to the structural, thermal, and electrical design aspects. Experiments showed that the foundry was capable of melting 3.0 kg of aluminum cans using ~11 MJ of energy, which was close to the theoretical calculations. The normalized energy usage of the foundry was ~6.9 MJ per kg of pure aluminum produced, which compares well with benchmarked aluminum recycling foundries.

This study investigates the feasibility of installing a waste heat recovery system (WHR) in a cement factory in Iraq using the organic thermal Rankine cycle (ORC). Heat losses in the cement industries represent high energy consumption percentages of the total energy inputs. The production of clinker is a sub-process in the cement manufacturing plant and consumes three quarters of the total energy used as heat from combustion. The main sources of waste heat in the cement plant are identified, from these sources of waste heat from the kiln surface to the air, hot air coming out of the clinker cooler, and preheating exhaust gases. It is possible to obtain the total waste heat from these sources in the range of 35-40% of the total heat input. This waste heat energy can be exploited by installing a waste heat recovery system in these plants to generate electricity. It is possible to generate electrical energy by 5.9 MW. When using an organic system to recycle hot gases in plants whose daily production is up to 6000 tons, the installation of such a system could lead to saving 82.5 tons of fuel oil consumption per day, and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 99.12 tons per day.

There are a wide range of temperatures wasted in some Iraqi factories ranging from low to medium to high grades, offset by a wide variety of generation techniques and liquids that can be used, this diversity allows us to choose the appropriate generation techniques (and fluids type) with the available waste heat in our factories, allowing us to make the maximum benefit of this wasted thermal energy in accordance with the recommendations of the International Energy Conference. All over Iraq, thermal waste is an abundant source of emission-free power that is frequently overlooked. It is a byproduct of industrial processes that could lower energy costs and reduce overall emissions from electric generation. The thermal waste is produced as long as the operation running. Producing electrical power from thermal waste would help to reduce energy costs. This research paper will explain and discuss choosing the appropriate technology between the three suggested technologies. In addition, the paper will discuss choosing the appropriate organic liquid for (Organic Rankine Cycle) ORC to recover the heat and transform it into an energy based on the waste temperature of some Iraqi industries. Also, it will discuss the choice of appropriate technology for the quantity and quality of this heat. That would help to reduce the waste of energy and air pollution.
