Preface
Human history is close to the energy and materials one. Since antiquity, civilizations
have a permanent challenge of perfecting materials and saving energy. This approach
been rst done for survey and second for comfort. Then, progressively, they laid
more and more importance on the machinery needed for their agriculture, habitat
and industry. The increasing knowledge on the mathematics, physics and chemistry
has gradually become more and more rational for material and energy, and by
the way the subject of emerging publications, and has then become a discipline
systematically taught at scientic institution. However, there remain a number of
phenomena to be understood directly aecting considerable technological consequences.
The added value of exchanges between theoretical workers and engineers, junior
and senior scientist provide more and more opportunities to understood phenomena,
explain mysterious experiments and run a new ways of sustainable shared development.
The International Conference on Materials and Energy (ICOME'15) represents a

agship event of research on Materials and Energy in 2015 and will be held in the city
of Tetouan (Morocco).
The Conference is the place where academic researchers, industrial and professionals
share information, successful and innovative cases and motivate industrial engagement
broadening the movement scope. The Scientic Committee, the University of
Abdelmalek Essaadi, the National Superior School of Cachan and the University of
Lorraine extend a warm invitation to attend and take part.
The Conference covers several themes and is organised in parallel educational

content sessions for all professionals who want to deepen their knowledge in Materials
and Energy elds.
It is a great opportunity for participants to have high quality current technical content
and also to explore new knowledge horizons on a variety of topics interconnected with
elds of application in Materials and Energy. The conference will host an Energy &
Materials symposium dedicated to the city of the future and a topical spring school on
Eco-materials and durable construction.
The themes represent the major scientic headings for the meeting and reect the
key position of these topics in Materials and Energy. However, in assembling the
program we are also keen to see contribution related to Energy and Materials such as
presentations of practical deployment and implementations in new applications areas :
• Bio-resources / wood/ energy
• Wind / Solar / Biomass / energy mix
• Recent developments on innovative materials
• Computational Environmental Engineering
• Energy Systems / Energy eciency
• Micro and Nano structured systems
• Heat and Mass transfer in Porous Media and building materials
• Double diusive convective coupling
• Phase change for energy storage
• Inverse Problems and optimization
• Benchmarking and Validation
• Classical Heat and mass interlink problems
The conference chairs thanks the dierent committees, the sponsors, the sta of
the organizing Universities for the preparation of this event.
The conference chairs hopes that everyone will found in this meeting an important
topical interest, a great pleasure on exchanging with the both community of materials
and energy.

Innovative Joining and Coating Technology

for Energy and Automotive Industry
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Bartout Driss

D-10587 Berlin
AbstractJoining and coating technologies as cross-sectional technologies take

a key function within the manufacturing in many industrial sectors and can oer
innovative solutions and technological progress.
Power and automotive engineering are two of the major growth markets worldwide.
The integration of such technological sectors as well as needed manufacturing
technologies (e.g. welding/coating) in emerging markets like Morocco is a condition
for the successful industrialisation of those countries.
In the mentioned elds special demands are imposed on the characteristics of
innovative and complex materials such as weight reduction, optimisation of construction
and intelligent surfaces, properties that will also lead to cost reduction. With the
development of such materials the demands imposed on the used manufacturing
processes also get higher.
Examples from the area of joining and coating illustrate the value added in the
sectors of power engineering (solar and wind power) and automotive industry.
BiographyProf. Dr.-Ing. Driss Bartout studied mechanical engineering with

specialization in machine tools at the Technical University of Berlin. After graduating,

Towards sustainable biopolymer composites

Prof. Bassir David
Institute of Industry Technology,
Guangzhou & Chinese Academy of Sciences (IIT, GZ&CAS)
AbstractThis keynote addresses the recent development on biopolymer

composites and aims at providing a landscape of the research eort going on about
sustainable materials in Europe. Natural bres as abundant, renewable, inexpensive,
biodegradable materials are the subject of extensive research in Europe, more
particularly hemp or Cannabis sativa plant. The reduction of ecological footprint,
recycling issues and the recent policies opened a new window for such plant to
compete with conventional synthetic bres. The benet of using hemp as a reinforcing
ller comes from its specic properties but in most applications problems related to
regularity, constant quality, sensitivity to environment, presence of defects raise and
need to be handled with care for any application. Added to that loss of sustainability
goes with mass production, which imposes only niche market. France and Germany
are the most concerned countries with hemp development with regards to the large
annual production and available lands. As a structured material, biocompatibility is
an important issue to overcome diculties related to lack of mechanical performance.
An example of such biocompatibility is illustrated with the starch - hemp blend. The
processing of this composite is however limited as all technologies do not match mixing
requirement. In this particular case study, thermomoulding oers no premixing stage
leaving an open question about the eciency of the load transfer. The mechanical
characterization provides a preliminary result about the interfacial eect by comparing
the possible reinforcement eect based on realistic bounds and the observed response.
Numerical approaches such as nite element computation quantify the interfacial eect
at any phase content and allow the understanding of lack of adhesion between intrinsic
phases. Interfacial coalescence phenomena are advanced as an important factor in
driving the mechanical performance of the composite. These phenomena are enhanced
by the clustering of the brous network and the decrease of the bre inter-spacing.

North Africa's key asset in the world's global energy

transition
Dir. Benhamou Khalid
Sahara Wind, Rabat, 10170, Morocco
AbstractFrom its 788MW operating wind power base, Morocco's wind

capacities will exceed 1200MW by 2015. With ONEE's public utilities additional
850MW Integrated Wind Energy program, over 2GW of wind electricity will come
online by 2020. To keep-up with a 7% domestic power demand growth, auxiliary
wind capacities will be added through Morocco's Renewable Energy Law 13-09 which
enables wind-electricity to be wheeled directly to industrial end-users. Matching power
with demand opens signicant opportunities for extractive industries which represent
North Africa's major energy loads. To satisfy their needs from the exceptional Atlantic
Trade Winds blowing over the Sahara desert coastline, new synergetic processes
will be developed. The large-scale, cost-competitive incorporation of wind energy in
transforming 75% of the World's Phosphates reserves into fertilizers becomes a key
element of global sustainability. Deposited through oceanic currents powered by trade
winds, resource transformation eciencies of phosphates can be signicantly improved.
Matching these, the complementary processing of Mauritania's iron-ore deposits into
steel derivatives through similar electro-chemical processes (using wind-electrolysis)
will enable a capacity build-up to be achieved on a regional scale. The latter will be
essential to provide low-cost wind-electricity to North Africa's load centers, located over
1200km away. Within such context, the phased deployment of a High Voltage Direct
Current (HVDC) transmission line is likely to enable excess intermittent wind power
ows to be exported to Europe as well. The perspectives laid out by the Sahara Wind
Project's 5 GW HVDC line will mobilize the region's industries for some time. Backed
by end-user driven academic partnerships, Africa's rst 30 kW wind-hydrogen storage
systems are already powering Morocco and Mauritania's leading Universities. Based
upon these, synergetic applications ranging from access to potable water to mineral

network deployed in both countries with the help of their telecom operators is likely to
facilitate the deployment of integrated wind-energy driven industrial applications.

BiographyKhalid Benhamou (B.S. Engineering 1992, California Polytechnic

University, USA), started his career in agricultural operations which rapidly led to
wind power developments. While in charge of Research & Innovation at the Direction
des Domaines Agricoles - the agricultural assets of the King of Morocco- from 1992-
2001, he installed Morocco's rst hybrid wind/diesel system in the Sahara desert in
1994. His involvement in wind energy, has since never faltered. As developer and
founder of Sahara Wind Inc. in 2002, he supported early-on the vision of large
integrated wind energy developments to build the Sahara Wind Project. This large
wind energy and HVDC transmission project with a phased implementation and a
threshold capacity of 400-500 MW is aimed at supplying over 5 GW of green electricity

to North Africa while enabling excess power to be exchanged with Euro-Mediterranean

and Sub-Saharan electricity markets. The project inspired several European industrial
and political initiatives eager to capitalize on this concept. Focused on a market based,
locally integrated economic development derived from the signicant Atlantic trade
wind resource, Khalid Benhamou coordinates regional capacity building in Morocco
and Mauritania. This activity is conducted in partnership with the regions academia
and local industries where wind energy integration in weaker grids remains critical.

AbstractTo day, monocrystalline silicon is the leader in module eciency,

followed by polycrystalline silicon, CIGS, CdTe, and a-Si, but eciency is not the
only metric by which to evaluate the value of a given photovoltaic technology. Organic
photovoltaic cells (OPVCs) bring a promise for substantial savings beyond simply
lower cost modules by eliminating racking, simplifying installation, and reducing
costs associated with transport because of their light weight and mechanical exibility.
Moreover semitransparent OPVCs, through the use of transparent electrodes can be
easily grown due to the fact that the width of the absorption band of organic materials
does not cover the entire visible spectrum. Flexibility and semi-transparency made
OPVCs ideal solution for building integrated solar installations.
Usually, plastic organic solar cells are based either on two superposed layers (planar
heterojunction: PHJ) or on an homogeneous mixture of two organic materials (bulk
heterojunctions: BHJ).
In polymeric systems, power conversion eciency (PCE) of more than 9% was
achieved through the optimization of materials used in BHJ conguration [1].
Recently, an eciency of 8.5% was achieved using PHJ with an active hearth which
consists of three small molecules organic layers [2].
Due to easy control of the structure (thickness, morphology) and the high facility in
increasing the number of lms during the cell growth, the planar OPVCs using small
molecules deposited by sublimation under vacuum have a very promising potential.
Experience showed that vacuum deposition allows achieving highest eciency due to
better purity and better-ordered layers.
Here, after a short reminder about the functioning of organic cells, we present the
latest developments in these structures. We are particularly interested in the eect of
the buer layers introduced at the interfaces electrode/organic layer.

Combined Absorption Power and Refrigeration Systems

Driven by Thermal Energy Sources
Prof. Coronas Alberto

Department of Mechanical Engineering, CREVER Avda. Paisos Catalans, 26, 43007, Tarragona, Spain
AbstractThe combined production of decentralized electricity and cold using

ecient thermally-driven systems are one of the suitable technological solutions to
address the current global energy-related challenges. These challenges include energy
supply uncertainty, rising price of fuels and adverse environmental impact. Air-
conditioning, refrigeration and electricity are useful forms of energy products, usually
produced using separate energy conversion technologies. Further, most end-users need
at least dual energy products: typical example could be building's applications where
space air-conditioning and electricity for various purposes are in need.
The objectives of this research work is the development of new class of
combined absorption systems (cycles), capable to produce mechanical power and cold
simultaneously and/or alternatively by using a single thermal energy source available
◦
at low and medium temperatures below 300 C. The dual-output nature of such kind of
systems makes it dicult to evaluate their energetic and exergetic performances so that
various performance indicators were used to evaluate the cycle performances.
Several new combined absorption power and refrigeration cycle congurations are
presented and analysed from the energetic and exergetic viewpoints. These systems
are suitable for ecient utilization of low and medium temperature heat sources for
the co-production of mechanical power and cold at several temperature levels intended
for deep freezing (cold storage), refrigeration and space air-conditioning applications.
And, they are capable to operate in dierent modes of operation from only cold-mode,
co-production mode with variable power/cold ratio to only power-mode. For instance,
a basic single-stage combined absorption power/refrigeration cycle produce 18.7 kW of
mechanical power and 149.5 kW of cold with eective rst-law and exergy eciencies
of 9.6% and 46.9% respectively. When the heat source inlet, heat sink and, chilled uid
◦ ◦ ◦
inlet/outlet temperatures are 120 C, 32/37 C and 12/7 C respectively with vapour
split ratio of 0.5. For the same thermal boundary conditions the cycle produces 32.2
kW of mechanical power with thermal and exergy eciency of 9.0% and 42.0% when
it operates in only power-mode. For only cold-mode of operation it produces 293.6 kW
of cooling eect at a COP of 0.626.

AbstractIn today's world the joint reduction of overall energy consumption and
that of CO2 emissions is the foremost priority. The policy to be pursued to achieve
this goal is through a drastic reduction in the use of non-renewable fossil resources.
Improving the CO2 emissions and saving energy will necessarily implement new
technological solutions and wood and innovative biosourced materials are one of the
important cost eective keys.
So spurred on by global environmental context, the eco-friendly material eld

is blossoming. Currently, there are a large number of structural and/or insulation
materials based on wood, hemp, ax, straw, cellulose ... However, many of them are
still in development and much remains to be done to make these new products less
expensive, more predictable and safe.
Because that the ability to use is a result of coupling between the requirements of the
considered function and performance of the product, and that is often a combination of
materials is used to achieve an optimum solution, the novel materials and components
should be considered as an intermediate product. They have to be studied taking into
account their properties, an optimal designs and techniques and paying attention to the
correct combination of materials and techniques to suit the particular situation.
Because there is an increasing interest for generating bio-based products with high
added value from the forest and agriculture sectors for a wide range of industrial
applications, the design of biosourced materials should include resource availability and
the impact on the social community.

Solar Energy and cooling systems by sorption

Prof. Prof. Gabsi Slimane
National School of Engineers of Sfax
Abstract
In hot countries the use of cold is increasing for various applications: bulding,
housing, preserve medicine, food storage ... In these countries, the production of many
perishable food is seasonal, and these foods are not available, therefore only during
part of the year. During this brief period, production exceeds the market absorption
capacity. This mismatch causes losses after food grain crops, fruits and vegetables,
lack of the necessary precautions during harvesting, handling and transportation.
Indeed, after harvest, the fruits and vegetables remain alive because they breathe,
carry out gas exchange with the surrounding environment and continue to evolve
throughout the marketing chain. These changes result in phenomena that are impacting
the visual quality, nutrition and taste.Temperature is the most important factor for
preserving fruits and vegetables. Low temperatures slow down the metabolism of the
fruit or vegetable to allow the maintenance of product quality. The short-term storage
◦
temperature (less than 7 days) fresh fruit and vegetables is between 4 C and 8 C,
◦
corresponding to the range of cold produced by chillers single-stage sorption.

Compression refrigerating machines, very often used in air conditioning and
domestic refrigerators, require the compressor operating a considerable expenditure of
electrical energy. These machines use for their operation, most of CFCs deplete the
ozone layer. Scientic research must decide for a technology capable of ensuring the
future of our planet's environmental and energy saving. In these hot country solar
energy is available almost throughout the year.
Alternative systems should use refrigerants healthy for the environment and have
high performance to reduce the CO2 emissions that contribute to the greenhouse eect
and consumes the least amount of fossil energy such as solar in our case. Solar
refrigeration coupling is of great interest for these countries and it is the object of
this work.
The purpose of this paper is to present the functioning for sorption machines
(absorption and adsorption) on their principles, used systems, their performance and
the coupling with solar.
This solar sorption coupling requires knowledge or meteorological data is validated
simulation models as well as the characteristics of solar collectors. We will present the
models that we have developed and used and give good results.

AbstractDespite all the eorts of the last few decades, one can notice a
continuous increase of building energy consumption. Moreover the building sector is
the largest consumer of energy (around 45-50% of the global energy consumption for
a European country). The energy and environment impacts of cities are even worth
when including transportation.
Substantial eorts have been undertaken to move towards energy self-suciency or

even positive energy for homes, apartment blocks, and oces, entire neighbourhoods or
even cities. This could be reach by optimizing local energy production, fatal energy
recovery and self-consumption declined at dierent scales. First a presentation of
solar energy potential especially in urban environment will be introduced. However
solar energy is abundant but intermittent, non-generating green house gazes but non-
concentrated. That implies several locks and specicities that could be resolved by a
multi-scale and global approach including energy grids, storage, transportation and
conversion in other energy vectors. This presentation will deal then deal with the
production and use spread across the urban territory for future solar cities.

AbstractThe study presented in this work has been carried out for three-bladed
horizontal axis wind turbines that produce electric energy through a double fed induction
generator DFIG. The wind turbine is connected to the electricity distribution network
and the blades undergo pitch angle control in order to extract maximum power from
the owing air. This work proposes the design of a robust neural network controller in
order to rotate the blades to their optimal orientation for a given input wind speed. The
RBF neural network variant was applied for its eectiveness in improving the control
performance against large uncertainty of the wind turbine system.
The performance and robustness of this controller are analyzed and compared to other
known standard controls by using simulation under Matlab/Simulink software package.

AbstractThis study is included in wind energy sector, which seems a more

promising in Tetuan city northern of Morocco, where it is part of very Moroccan region
windy, with annual average speeds close to 11 m/s. So for this, estimating of wind
energy potential values of three sites in Tetuan city in northern of Morocco is made,
taking account of weather data provided by quantifying of wind resources of each site
and its yearly average power available estimations. We begin by determining the various
parameters of wind such as mathematical modeling of Weibull distribution frequency,
also the processing and simulation of real wind data collected. We evaluated for each
site the wind energy potential, the generated electricity prediction based on a judicious
choice appropriate to wind turbine energy needs from wind climate.

AbstractSolar sea water desalination can be made by a solar still in which

saline water is circulated and put in contact with a heat source to obtain distilled water
by evaporation/condensation phase changes. The passive solar still is enclosed with
a glass cover so that the solar radiation passes through it and supplies heat to sea
water with limited back reection. The evaporative heat transfer between the water
surface and the glass cover produces the distillate as the evaporated water undergoes
lm type condensation at the inner surface of the glass cover. This results from the
inclination of the glass cover, cohesion between condensed water molecules and gravity
eect. The condensed water trickles then down to a trough which guides it into a
container. Extensive research work has been dedicated to improve the productivity of
passive solar stills. Active stills were introduced to provide additional energy supply
by using various kinds of concentrators. With more energy supplied to the system the
distillate productivity increases.
In this work, an active solar still conguration using additional heat supply which is
provided by a parabolic solar collector is considered. This heat source takes action
under the basin liner such that the sea water temperature can increase to reach an
optimal value with regards to evaporation requirement. The obtained model was solved
numerically by using Matlab software package.
Calculations were then carried out to assess the yield Γ of the still as function of the inlet
temperature and rate of the heat transfer uid and the saline water dept. Optimization
of the distilled water ow was then performed.

AbstractIn the technology of today, the manufacturing technology of aspheric

optical components at low cost has become a research priority. There are dierent types
of aspherical lenses, such as lenses molded by injection, the molded glass lenses, hybrid
lenses. From these methods of manufacturing lenses, the hybrid method is considered
one of the most appropriate, since it combines the good optical properties at low cost.
The hybrid lens is manufactured by depositing a layer of monomer between a spherical
glass lens and an aspherical mold. To make hybrid lenses at low cost, a printing method
is preferred for its simplicity. To evaluate the proposed printing process, a hybrid lens is
designed and manufactured, and its geometric property is measured and compared with
the design value. Measurement of aspheric surfaces is one of the most important and
dicult applications of metrology. Many techniques exist to examine these surfaces.
Each of these methods has its own advantages and weaknesses.
The main objective of this study is to nd feasible methods for measuring the aspheric
surfaces lenses manufactured by the hybrid method. This leads us to produce aspheric
lenses by the hybrid method, measuring the curvature radii of lenses with dierent
methods, and then compare the results of these methods.

RésuméLa connaissance du régime des vents est très importante pour optimiser

fréquence et la direction du vent. C'est dans ce contexte que nous allons évaluer les
ressources éoliennes de la région d'Annaba - Algérie an d'installer une petite éolienne.
Nous allons utiliser une méthode d'ajustement de Weibull pour déterminer le potentiel
éolien et de prévoir les conditions extrêmes du vent dans cette région. La première
partie de ce travail est d'estimer des deux paramètres de Weibull ; le paramètre forme
k et le paramètre d'échelle c. En plus de ces on doit étudier la direction du vent,
qui apparaît comme une étape primordiale importante pour choisir l'emplacement de
l'aérogénérateur. Depuis 10 ans, on a calculé à partir des données moyennes des vitesses
du vent mesurées chaque heure dans une station météorologique située à "l'aéroport
d'Annaba".
Après l'analyse du comportement du vent dans cette région et le calcul la vitesse
moyenne on étudie la possibilité d'installer une petite éolienne dans la région, ainsi
que savoir l'énergie que peut produire avec une étude aérodynamique pour améliorer
la forme de la pale. L'étude utilise deux théories, la théorie d'élément de pale et la
théorie de l'écoulement axial. Les forces de traînée agissant sur les deux types de pale,
le couple et la puissance générée peuvent être déterminées. Enn, par conséquent, le
présent document traite des techniques applicables aux ensembles de données dans une
zone dénie pour implanter une éolienne de petite puissance avec le meilleur rendement.

wind energy at East region of Mohammedia and other Moroccan sites. The basic data
were taken from meteorological records of each region. In this context this work is
focused on a methodological approach of a decision support system for optimal choice of
wind turbine using multi-criteria model that takes into consideration both the accurate
Weibull distribution in the area (wind speed ground roughness), and the technical
parameters of the wind turbine. In this approach we realized an adapted modeling of

AbstractThe main objective of this paper is to model, analyze and estimate

wind energy at East region of Mohammedia and other Moroccan sites. The basic data
were taken from meteorological records of each region. In this context this work is
focused on a methodological approach of a decision support system for optimal choice of
wind turbine using multi-criteria model that takes into consideration both the accurate
Weibull distribution in the area (wind speed ground roughness), and the technical
parameters of the wind turbine. In this approach we realized an adapted modeling of
each element of the turbine (rotor multiplier generator).

AbstractIn this article, we present in details, a comparison between three

dierent architectures of multilevel inverters (5 levels), the ying capacitor multilevel
inverter (FCMLI), the diode clamped multilevel inverter (DCMLI), and the cascaded
H-bridge multilevel inverter (CHMLI). The study uses Matlab Simulink platform as
a tool of simulation, and aim to choose the most qualied inverter, for a potential
insertion on a hybrid renewable energy platform (wind-solar). Thus the comparison is
focused on the output voltage quality, the complexity of the power circuits, the cost of
implementation, and the inuence on a power bank inside the renewable power station.
In all the simulations we use the same PWM control type (SPWM).

AbstractWind turbine systems demand a high degree of reliability and

availability and at the same time are characterized by expensive and safety critical
maintenance work. This paper deals with a new methodology for detection and
estimation sensor faults for a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) equipped wind
turbines. Based on Clark's transformation a state space model of a DFIG is developed,
which can be used for the design of a Luenberger observer. Then, the residual results
are used for electrical faults detection and estimation. The eectiveness of the proposed
observer based fault detection and estimation scheme is validated through simulation
tests performed by dierent faults scenarios.

AbstractIn this paper, we investigate numerically a 3D dimensional laminar

ow of an incompressible Newtonian uid into a rectangular channel, including several
blocks mounted on the lower and the upper walls. To do so, a numerical code based
on the Lattice Boltzmann method is utilized and it has been validated after comparison
between the present results and those of the literature. The adiabatic partitions are
arranged in three dierent manners: In the rst one, and by using two blocks, the latter
are mounted the one against the other. In the second, the bottom block is disposed
next to the ow entry. Whereas, in the third three parallel (or alternative) blocks are
taking place the one close to the other at an equal distance. Regarding the Reynolds
number and the partitions' distance eects on the uid ow inside the channel, our
phenomenon is widely analyzed throughout the streamlines and velocity proles, with
special attention to the partitions' arrangement.
It is to denote that the three dimensions D3Q19 model is adopted in this work, based

AbstractWe show in this work the eect of operating conditions variations on

the performances of solar refrigeration System equipped with an ejector. The modeling of
this system coupled to a solar radiation collector, is carried out through a specic model
that integrates all the components of this system in order to determine the optimum
operating conditions. The proposed system comprises a boiler connected to a parabolic
through solar collector, a condenser, an evaporator and an ejector. This study showed
that the best performances of the system are achieved when the ejector entrainment
ratio is signicant. To reach high values of ejector entrainment ratio, it is preferable
to increase the temperature of the evaporator, instead of increasing the temperature
of the boiler. In addition, it was noted that the ejector variable geometry achieves
better performances compared with the xed geometry ejector. In the section on solar
collectors, the study shows that the use parabolic concentrators allow signicant increase
in temperature in the generator without performances being aected.

AbstractThis paper presents a study of the Incidence Angle Modier (IAM)

in a Linear Fresnel Reector (LFR). Simulations of the optical behavior of LFRs
designed according to dierent design prole angles (DPA) are conducted using the ray
tracing software TracePro. Results shows that low DPAs enable high optical transversal
eciency but a poor longitudinal one. Longitudinal IAM followed nearly the same
path for all DPAs decreasing from a maximum equals 1 to a minimum equals 0 when

the longitudinal incidence angle varies from 0 to 90 . However, for transversal IAM
a noticeable dierence between LFRs is recorded at high transversal incidence angles
where the maximum is reached. In fact, low DPAs recorded higher transversal IAM at

AbstractThis paper presents the results of modelling the heat transfer process
for the new system called Photovoltaic/Thermal (PVT) hybrid systems in state-space.
The heat transfer process in a solid material can be described by an integer- order
partial dierential equation. However, in the Photovoltaic/Thermal (PVT) hybrid
systems, which is characterized by heterogeneous behaviour due to the materials that
make up the layers of system, it can be described by a fractional-order partial dierential
equation. The major objectives of this study were to establish a new mathematical
model of the Photovoltaic/Thermal (PVT) hybrid systems and their fractional-order
observers in time domain. This model has been constructed in the context of a new
consideration of heat conduction with a time fractional-order derivative. On the other
hand, after obtained the general model of the system in state-space, the existence
conditions of the fractional-order observer of such systems are given. Then, a necessary
and sucient condition for the asymptotic stability of the estimation error is given in
a LMI formulation.

AbstractMorocco has adopted a national energy strategy for the promotion of

renewable energy and the energy eciency. The building's sector is an area targeted
by this strategy, since it is one of the major energy consumers in the Moroccan level.
With a 25% share of nal consumption countries (ADEREE) Its consumption is set to
increase further in the future years. In addition the building is a strategic energy sector
taking into account the long life of buildings. In this perspective, in order to establish
a regulatory and legal framework governing the energy eciency in the building sector,
this regulation was based on several steps among them, the establishment of a climate
zoning based on the degrees of heating-days and zoning .This zoning has left Morocco
in six climatic zones.
In this context, the present work aims to make a contribution in packaging useful
climate data for the evaluation of the building thermal requirements, specically the
production of hot water. To achieve this goal, we developed a solar radiation calculation
model for the six Moroccan climate zones based on the model of "Capderou". However,
from these data, a mathematical model was developed in order to calculate the water
heater solar performances and the production of domestic hot water in these dierent
zones. This model is based on the platform "ENERBAT" Laboratory "LERMAB" at

AbstractAlgeria has a large solar energy deposit (rst in the Mediterranean

sea). This deposit makes it suitable for the installation of solar energy conversion
systems, especially photovoltaic (PV) systems. The design of these systems is an
important step, its optimization, as well as optimization of the various parameters of
the system, is a crucial step. In our work, after estimating hourly solar radiation,
we have optimized the design of a photovoltaic installation in "Zenata" (Tlemcen),
western Algeria, by focusing on the panel's eciency, total capture area, and total
battery capacity. We used the concept of hourly solar usability to develop a design

AbstractArticial neural networks (ANNs) have attracted attention of many

researchers in the eld of renewable energies, particularly for meteorological data
prediction such as solar radiation. For this reason we have developed a model based
on Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) neural networks to predict the evolution of the overall
monthly solar radiation of the territory of Souss (south-West of Morocco). In this study,
we used a large database on a wide period (1993-2005). This database contains a set
of metrological and geographical data such as: Latitude, Longitude, Altitude, month
number, the average temperature, sunshine, relative humidity and the average of the
monthly global irradiation. After testing several models, we found the appropriate model
that gives a minimum mean square error (MSE). Furthermore, a good coecient of
correlation (R) was found, between values measured and values predicted.

AbstractThe objective of this work is the study, design and validation by simulation
the model of an isolated photovoltaic chain composed of a 4.2 KW PV generator, a
power conditioning system and a direct current load. This system is used to supply
agricultural pumping station that will be installed soon in the province of Larache in
Morocco. The eects of temperature and irradiation on the generator are studied, in
particular on the magnitudes such that the short circuit current, the open circuit voltage
and the power delivered by the system. According to the characteristics of the load
(motor-pump) and the operating conditions (temperature, irradiation), we can nd a
big gap between potential maximum PV generator power and that actually transferred
to the pumping system. In order to extract every moment the maximum of power
available at the terminals of the PV generator and transfer it at the pumping system,
we use a matching stage composed of a boost converter controlled by an algorithm of
power maximization "P&O" and a pulse width modulation (PWM). The modeling and
simulation of the studied system will be realized using Matlab / Simulink software.

RésuméL'énergie éolienne a connu une très forte croissance au cours de la

dernière décennie au vue des avantages qu'elle présente pour l'environnement, aux
percées technologiques connexes et aux programmes d'encouragement gouvernementaux.
Sa caractéristisation de source d'énergie inépuisable et propre a fait d'elle un champ
privilégié de recherche scientique et de développement Technologique principalement
en Europe. Le taux d'évolution de cette technologie est d'environ 25%. Pour réduire
sa dépendance énergétique, le Maroc s'est orienté entre autres vers le développement
de la mobilisation des sources d'énergies renouvelables notamment l'énergie éolienne.
En eet, le Maroc, par sa situation géographique favorable, dispose d'un potentiel
éolien important estimé à environ 6000MW. Les potentiels énergétiques solaires,
géothermiques et éoliens existants au Maroc, leurs utilisations pour le développement
économique de certaines régions semblent favorables. Le but du présent sujet est
l'établissement de l'atlas vent de la région de la Wilaya Tanger-Tétouan. En premier
lieu, une étude statistique des mesures de vent basée sur la distribution de Weibull
est établie ce qui nous permettra la détermination des vitesses moyennes annuelles
du vent. Ceci a permis l'établissement d'une carte du vent de la région étudiée. La
deuxième partie est consacrée à l'estimation du potentiel énergétique éolien de la vallée
de Tanger-Tétouan et au tracé de l'atlas de la densité de puissance de la région. Les
résultats ont montré que le site de (Tétouan-Ksar Sghir) est le plus venté de la région
étudiée.

AbstractDesign to earthquake is a major concern in the eld of seismic

engineering, especially for existing buildings that are at seismic risk. In particular,
research is being conducted on how to take advantage of inll in order to enhance
seismic resistance of this kind of buildings.
Two main methods were proposed for analyzing the in-lled reinforced concrete frames:
micro modeling approach which is nite element based that takes into account local
eects in detail and macro modeling approach which is a very simplied method that
considers only the global behavior of the structure by replacing the inll with equivalent
struts: one or several according to the various theories existing in this eld.
In this work, a parametric analysis is presented in order to investigate the inuence
of variations in mechanical properties of the inll and also its geometry on the in-
plane behavior of masonry in- lled frames. The resulting complex nonlinear behavior
is analyzed through nite element modeling under Abaqus software package.
Masonry inll is modeled by means of a constitutive law incorporating damage
mechanism that represents the interaction occurring at components level between mortar
and bricks. The internal boundary interface with the reinforced concrete frame was
modeled by means of cohesive elements.

AbstractIn this work, coupled elastic- hydrodynamics-erosion soil equations

are considered in the framework of one- dimensional approximation to the problem.
The modelling is based on the continuum approach where it is assumed that the soil
is constituted from a well denite sand-clay mixture that is containing only a small
fraction of clay phase which is susceptible to be removed by water discharge owing
through the porous medium. Asymptotic expansion of coupled equations has been
performed.

AbstractSurface crack detection in metallic parts was considered through

modelling of eddy-current pattern which is induced by their presence. This was
undertaken by means of the nite element method under harmonic inductive excitation
and stationary conditions. The proposed model included the array excitation coils, the
array sensing coils, the tested defected plate and the ambient air. A parametric study
was conducted then in order to determine the inuence of the work frequency and the
position of the receiver coil on voltage variation at its bottom edge.
The obtained results have shown that the work frequency has little inuence on
the results in the investigated range of frequencies. On the opposite the position
of the receiver coil was found to have a drastic eect on the voltage variations
during scanning. It was then possible to optimize the positions of the receiver coils to
provide best sensing in terms of voltage variations when the probe passes over the aw.

AbstractThis paper presents a Bayesian approach for multiple forces

reconstruction which can deal with measurement noise. The posterior density
of probabilities function integrating both the likelihood and prior information was
considered in the particular case of a linear system which is aected by an additive
random term resulting from measurement noise. Compressed sensing technique was
used to provide an adequate sparse representation of the inverse problem through using
projection on a wavelet basis. The unknown forces and the regularization parameters are
jointly determined through Monte Carlo Markov chain methods. The proposed approach
is illustrated and validated through a numerical example.

AbstractIn this communication we calculate the Raman spectra of dierent

Double-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (DWCNTs) by using the spectral moment's method.
Using a convenient Lennard-Jones expression of the van der Waals intermolecular
interaction between the inner andouter tubes, the optimized structure of DWCNTare
derived. We found that the C-C bond lengthin DWCNT is depending on the metallic
(M)or semiconducting (Sc) character of the innerand outer nanotubes. We show
that the radialbreathing-like modes (RBLM) of DWCNT arecollective characterized by
concerted inner andouter wall motions. Comparison with Ramanspectra measurements
is given.

AbstractHeteroatom doping (e.g., boron, sulfur, phosphorous, and nitrogen)

of graphitic carbon lattices eects various physicochemical properties of sp 2 carbon
material [1, 2]. In particular, the substitutional doping of nitrogen has received focused
attention because signicant changes in hardness, electrical conductivity, and chemical
reactivity have been theoretically predicted and experimentally observed[3]. Using Siesta
code combined to the spectral moments method [4, 5], we have calculated the Raman
spectra of NCNTs for dierent concentrations of N.
To model the structure of these nanomaterials, random distributions of N on the NTC
surface are considered. A comparative study of the Raman spectra prole and the
intensities ID/IG ratio was made. Analysis of the calculated Raman spectra in the
light of experimental data is presented.

AbstractThe friction at the steel-concrete interface on the boundary layer (note

BL) that occurs during the ow of a uid concrete in a drain plays an important part in
its pumpability. These frictions are directly related to the composition of the formed BL
which depends on the concrete composition parameters. To highlight this relationship,
the authors' initially developed and validated an apparatus called tribometer allowing
them to make steel concrete interface friction measurements and deduce interface
parameters (called pumping parameters). Its' simple use at building sites enabled the
authors' to study the inuence of the concrete composition on the resulting interface
friction and its parameters, namely, viscous constant and interface yield stress. The
results show that the increase in the cement paste volume, the water/cement ratio and
the proportioning in super-plasticizer support the concrete pumpability.
The increase of a quantity of ne-sand in concrete induces negative eects on the
interface frictions and on pumpability. The authors also proposed in this study a simple
experimental method to extract the BL matter by using their validated tribometer. The
extracted BL matters were then analysed by a simple method. The obtained results
show that the BL is formed by water, cement and ne sand particles of concrete with
a diameter lower than 0.25 mm. It also shows that the water/cement ratio of the BL
and that of the concrete are almost the same. The ne-sand relative enrichment in the
BL decreases with the increase of the ne sand voluminal proportion in the concrete.

AbstractAt present all most of II-VI semiconductor based solar cells use the
CdTe materiel as an absorber lm. The simulation of their performances is realized by
means of various numerical modeling programs. In our case we suggest modeling and
simulating the performances of a solar cell based on ZnTe thin lm in substitution to
the CdTe eliminating therefore the element cadmium which is very known by its toxicity
and optimizing the absorber layer thickness. This work reports on the analysis of ZnTe
thin lm solar cells by using Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator software (SCAPS). A
PV device was modeled, which consists in a ZnTe absorber, a CdS buer and a ZnO
window layer. Dark and illuminated I-V characteristics and the results for dierent
output parameters of ZnO/CdS/ZnTe solar cell were analyzed. The eect of ZnTe
absorber thickness on dierent main working parameters such as: open- circuit voltage
Voc, short-circuit current density Jsc , ll factor FF, photovoltaic conversion eciency
eta was intensely studied in order to optimize the ZnTe lm thickness. This study
revealed that increasing the thickness of ZnTe absorber layer results in higher eciency
until a maximum value and then decreases slightly. This maximum was around 10% at
optimum ZnTe thickness around 2.3 µm

Microstructural aspects of displacive transitions

AbstractA series of alloy systems exhibit a peculiar property called shape

memory eect and superelasticity. These alloys are temperature sensitive materials, and
their crystal structures change in a certain temperature interval, on cooling and heating
by means of martensitic transformation and reverse transformation, respectively.
Martensitic transformation is a displacive solid state phase transformation and occurs
on cooling in the material from high temperature parent phase region through critical
transformation temperatures. These alloys have an ability to recover the original shape
on heating after deformation in low temperature product phase condition in bulk level.
Shape memory eect is facilitated by martensitic transformation governed by changes
in the crystalline structure of the material in the crystal and lattice level. Martensitic
transformations occur with the cooperative movement of atoms in thermal manner, and
the movement of atoms is in the sub-nanometer level and conned to the interplane
level, due to this property.
Martensitic transition occurs as martensite variants with cooperative movements of
atoms in two opposite directions, < 110 >-type directions on the 110-type planes of
austenite matrix which is basal plane of martensite. The {110}-plane family has 6
certain lattice planes; {110}, {1 − 1 0}, {101}, {1 0 − 1}, {011}, {0 1 − 1}.
Thermal induced martensite occurs as lattice twinning by means of lattice invariant
shear, and the twinned martensite structures turn into detwinned structures by means of
reorientation of twinned martensite with deformation of the material in the martensitic
condition. The detwinned martensites also turn into the parent phase structure ob
heating.
Copper based alloys exhibit this property in metastable β -phase region, which has
bcc-based structures at high temperature parent phase eld, and these structures
martensiticaly turn into layered complex structures with lattice twinning process on
cooling.

Levenberg Marquardt for the identication of bre reinforcement permeability in the
Resin Transfer Moulding process for composite materials. The comparison between
the experimental and the computed parameters is used as convergence criteria in the
iterative inverse technique, satisfactory agreement was obtained. Furthermore, this
method oers the possibility to determinate permeability of several part of composite

AbstractThe durability of SiO2 compounds is closely related to its structural

properties. In this work three natural siliceous aggregates (called G1 , G 2 and G3 ) are
studied. The chemical composition of the three natural aggregates shows that G1 and
G2 have almost the same chemical composition (SiO2 ) and G3 is dierent and contains
SiO2 quartz type and calcite as major components (SiO2 , Calcite and Dolomite). X-
Ray diraction (XRD) shows that natural aggregates G1 is more crystallized than G2
and G3 . After Alkali silica Reaction (ASR) process, the reactivity of G3 aggregate seems
to be higher than the G1 and G2 aggregates. The mechanical results show the slight
dierence between mortar containing G1 (M _G1 ) and that containing G2 (M _G2 ).
Their compressive strength is 10% less than that of reference (M_SS). As it is more
reactive, G3 seems improving the compressive strength of M _G3 , compared to M _G1
and M _G2 .

AbstractOrganic photovoltaic cells (OPVCs) are based on a heterojunction

electron donor (ED)/electron acceptor (EA). In the present work, the electron
donor which is also the absorber of light is pentathiophene. The typical cells were
ITO/ABL/Pentathiophene/fullerene /Alq3 /Al with ABL = Mo O3 , CuI, MoO3/CuI.
After optimisation of the pentathiophene thickness, 70 nm, the highest eciency,
0.81%, is obtained with the bilayer Mo O3 /CuI as ABL. In order to understand these
results the pentathiophene lms deposited onto the dierent ABLs were characterized
by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, X- rays diraction, optical
absorption and electrical characterization. It is shown that CuI improves the
conductivity of the pentathiophene layer through the modication of the lm structure,
while M0 O3 decreases the leakage current. Using the bilayer M0 O3 /CuI allows
cumulating the advantages of each layer.

AbstractThis is mainly an experimental contribution for defect detection based

on the Flash method generally used to characterize the thermal diusivity of the
material. Indeed, the temperature rise generated by the ash on the rear face represent
important information to explore. We have conceived and realized a contact thermal
sensor consisting of forty-nine type K thermocouples distributed over the rear face of
the sample to be tested. The thermocouples responses resulted by several thermograms,
are given in several measuring points distributed over the entire bottom surface of the
sample. Analysis of the experimental results shows that the temperature rise provide
important information to establish a thermal system for defect detection in homogeneous
materials.

AbstractOxide/Metal/Oxide structures have been shown to be promising

alternatives to ITO. In such structures, in order to decrease the high light reection
of the metal lm it is embedded between two metal oxides dielectric. MoO3-x is often
used as oxide due to its capacity to be a performing anode buer layer in organic solar
cells, while silver is the metal the most often used [1]. Some attempts to use cheaper
metal such as copper have been done. However it was shown that Cu diuses strongly
into MoO3-x [2]. Here we used this property to grow simple new transparent conductive
oxide (TCE), i.e. Cu: MoO3-x blend. After the deposition of a thin Cu layer, a lm
of MoO3-x is deposited by evaporation. An XPS study shows more than 50% of Cu is
present at the surface of the structure. In order to limit the Cu diusion an ultra-thin Al
layer is deposited onto MoO3-x. Then, in order to obtain a good hole collecting contact
with the electron donor of the organic solar cells, a second MoO3-x layer is deposited.
After optimization of the thickness of the dierent layers, the optimum structure is as
follow: Cu (10 nm):MoO3-x (20nm)/Al (1 nm)/ MoO3-x (10 nm). The sheet resistance
of this structure is Rsq = 5.2 Ω/sq and its transmittance is T max = 65%. The factor
10
of merit ΦM = T /Rsq = 2.510 Ω
−3 −1 , which made this new TCE promising as anode
in organic solar cells

AbstractCold spray is a promising process fabricating high quality metallic

coatings. This work concerns both numerical and experimental investigation of cold
sprayed copper taking into account impact conditions including, particle velocities
and temperature, gas pressure and materials. The conducted numerical study is an
examination of the deformation behavior of Cu particles sprayed onto steel substrate
using ABAQUS/Explicit software, allowing a good understanding of the deposition
characteristics of copper particles and the eect of particle velocity on the coating
microstructure. Various combinations of calculation were performed. The numerical
results are correlated to mechanical properties of the cold sprayed copper coating.

AbstractIn this work, an unsteady heat transfer from plasma to spheroid

particles, which are injected in plasma plume during atmospheric spraying process, is
investigated. The governing equations developed are non linear. The approach is based
on analytical solutions of the mathematical equations governing the heat conduction
to particles initially not heated immersed into a uniform temperature of an innite
medium of constant temperature. The spheroidal shapes considered are of two types;
prolate and oblate, in this work, prolate case is more developed. The time development
of temperature inside the particle and the heat transfer rate across the surface has
been studied for various axis ratios assuming nite thermal and physical properties
of materials. It is considered that Biot and Rayleigh numbers are small and uid
heat conduction dominates the thermal resistance. Results are presented for alumina
materials in argon/H2 plasma. The analytical solution using a mathematical model
treating the plasma/particle interaction reveals an important heating on the particle
caused by the presence of thermal plasma. The eect depends on the thermal properties
of material and plasma gases. The results are compared with spherical case.

AbstractStereo matching is one of the main topics in computer vision. It

consists in nding in two images of a same scene, taken from dierent viewpoints, the
pairs of pixels which are the projections of a same scene point. Since the last twenty
years, many local and global methods have been proposed to solve this problem.
In this paper, we will present the results obtained by matching two satellites images,
After extracting points of interest, two steps follow: matching points of interest and
matching the rest of points in each interval delimited by two successive points of interest
by using the Markovian process.

AbstractEnergy lies at the heart of modern society, enabling everything from

heating, lighting, computers, and food production through to manufacturing, medicine,
and transport. The next step in the design process of the blade is the determination
of the material properties. The material properties of composite materials need to
be determined in order to model the structure precisely and for doing further more
detailed delamination and fatigue failure investigations. The composites were fabricated
2 ◦
in the form of 2 m (2x1m) plates using unidirectional and 45 biaxial mats, in
◦
dierent thicknesses. Furthermore the 45 biaxial type composite plates in dierent
thickness were joined with NORPOL vinylester adhesives of dierent thicknesses for
the characterization of resistance in de-bonding type failures. Sandwich structures with
3
2mm face thicknesses and 10-30mm thick 80gm/m PVC foam cores were also used for
the characterization of sandwich in exion and delamination properties. The base of
any design is the performance and the power output parameters. It is based on these
parameters that the overall dimensions of the blade are ascertained. After which a
more detailed structural design is done based on the forces applied as determined by the
operational parameters of the turbine blade. The structure then needs to be modeled
more accurately using the real material properties, the materials which will be used in
the fabrication of the turbines. Therefore experiments and mechanical tests are done
on the material specimens to develop a material properties prole, which this paper in
part will deal with.

AbstractTo limit environmental impact related to the cement production process

(CO2 release into the atmosphere and energy consumption), the current trend is to
decrease the clinker content in cement through the use of alternative materials. In our
research work, the valorization of treated channel sediments (TCS) in precast concrete
is investigated. Like reference concrete (C0), the compressive strength of C10 is of 25
MPa at 2 days, after thermal treatment. More sediments (C30), decreases strongly the
compressive strength. Results show also, that the durability properties of C0 and C10,
except carbonation, are very close, proving that the valorization of sediments in precast
concrete is a promising idea.

AbstractThe system we propose is a strain that allows the Young's modulus

of the material measurements, using the method of the bending beam embedded at
extremity and subjected to a force applied to the other free extremity. It consists of
a device for fastening a beam to a rectangular extremity, to the other free extremity
is connected an S-shaped hook for hanging masses and apply a vertical force directed
downwardly on the free end of the beam. Measuring the resulting force F applied to
the beam and the corresponding deviation (arrow) via electromagnetic force sensor

AbstractThe diculties encountered by theindustrialists durin g the articial

theotherhand the existence oftensions in the mass of wood.In the articial drying cycle
of the wood of Eucalyptus Camaldulensis Dehn having served under investigation as the
kinetics of drying andwith modeli ng; we analyzed the quality of drying.The mesures
were made on all the samples at the time of the dryingcycle which areappreciated
bythe d eformations and the proportion of the samples which weresplit during
drying.The measured deforma tions are: arrow of face,markswitharrows of song, inti
le, warping,slits and collapse. The Eucalyptus kind is particularly sensitive to the
phenomenon ofcollapse which appears during drying causing thecollapse of the structure,
the more or less serious structural deformations of the parts and the appearance of the
slits. The collapse can be partly controlled, by a drying suciently wellcontrolled, an
d mostof the collapse, is recoverableby techniques of treatment the vapor, during the
operation of drying.
In this context, we carriedout this preliminarystudy, o f drying on the wood of Eucalyptus
◦
Camaldulensis Dehn (2 identical tests T s = 30 C and HR = 85%).
During the drying of a timber chock,it is necessary that drying is as much as possible
homogeneous in all the pile. For this purpose, we carried out study air velocities on
3
several points of the space of the drier with forced convection (14m volumes). Through
the results got on speeds, we note a nohomogeneousdistribution of the air in the drier;
consequently, the samples placed at various places do not dry in the same way.
Tocure that, one envisaged devices inside the drierw ho can improve aerodynamics
(site of masks, tore-examine the zone of mixture...).The quality of dried wood is poor
(many defects); but it would not be not interesting to carry out for this species a test
of reconditioning and to see the quality of this wood. The model suggested reects

AbstractOptimization and advanced control of extraction processes are very

important in the chemical engineering eld for development of processes resulting in
high yield with minimal costs of time and energy. In the present work, two extraction
methods (hydrodistillation and volatile solvent extraction using a Soxhlet extractor) were
performed on a medicinal plant (Marrubium vulgare L.). The inuence of various
operating parameters such as: (Temperature, drying and grinding the plant, the solvent
to solid ratio, the extraction time, and the nature of the solvent) on the extraction
yield was studied in order to determine the operating conditions favorable to the
realization of the extraction process, resulting in high yield. The optimum conditions
were: the weight ratio, 3%; extraction time, 180 min; diameter of powder particles
(0.1 < d < 0.63(mm)); and proportion of water pretreatment aected also on the yield

AbstractThis article represents a reection about the evolution of construction

management.
Construction is conceived as a set of activities performed to achieve a nal product;
these activities transform inputs to outputs using tools.
However, a construction activity is not only a process of transformation (value-added
activity), is also non- value added activities (handling, control, wait ...), representing
up to 99% time of the activity cycle. The non-value added activities are the roots of the
enormous waste in the eld of construction, compared to industrial eld.
For this reason, indeed, why scientist decided to adopt the production management
model in the industrial eld "Lean Production", which involves cutting waste, and adapt
it to the building and thus, construction will be designed as a set of transformation
processes and ows. This new management approach aims focused on the nal value
delivered to customers. The system- that is inspired from TOYOTA Production System
(TPS) - is called Lean Construction.
After dening the two basic principles of Lean Construction and its four main tools,
this article will lead to a discussion about the implementation of this philosophy, then
suggesting the principles lines to analyze for the development of this research.

AbstractIn this work we present the eect of HiPCO single walled cabon
nanotubes (SWCNT) insertion into the conjugated polymer matrix P3HT on the
structural and thermal stability of these nanocomposites. The P3HT / SWCNT
nanocomposite lms were prepared using chloroform and chlorobenzene as solvents
and optimized ultrasonication time. The prepared samples were analyzed by
Thermogavimetric analysis (TGA) and X-ray Diraction to study the eect of
carbon nanotubes on the thermal stability and structure of the polymer matrix. The
measurements carried out for dierent SWCNT loadings show that the thermal stability
was enhanced for a 0.5wt% after that it decreases with increasing the content of the
SWCNT. Our results prove the structural enhancement which is in favor of a better
organization in both P3HT chains and carbon nanotubes after their interaction.

AbstractIn the present paper, we studied mixed convection uid ow and heat
transfer generated in a square liddriven cavity lled with the nanouid water-Ag and
provided with a horizontal thin heater. The vertical walls of the cavity are maintained
at a constant temperature, TC , lower than that of the heater denoted TH while its
horizontal boundaries are insulated. The problem is governed by the Richardson number
(0.01 ≤ Ri = Gr /Re2 ≤ 100), the relative location of the heater (S = 0.25, 0.5 and
0.75), the relative length of the heater (D = 0.75) and the volume fraction of the Ag
nanoparticles (0 ≤ ϕ ≤ 0.04). We found that the nanouid is ecient in enhancing the
heat transfer rate in a lid-driven cavity and the mean Nusselt number is a decreasing
function of Ri. We found also that the heat losses through the cold boundaries of the
cavity are substantially reduced by moving upward the heater from its lower position.

AbstractIn the present work, Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is used to

analyze the natural convection ow and heat transfer in a square cavity with an
inside thin heater. The vertical walls are kept adiabatic, while the horizontal ones
are maintained at constant temperature Tc . The square cavity contains a thin vertical
heated plate, with the temperature Th . The present problem is governed by the Rayleigh
3 6
number (10 ≤ Ra ≤ 10 ), the heater length (0.25 ≤ L ≤ 0.75), the heater location
(S = 0.25 and 0.50) and the Prandtl number (P r = 0.71). The results of the study show
that the position and the length of the heated plate alter signicantly the temperature
distribution, the ow eld and the heat transfer in the cavity.

AbstractIn order to master and improve the quality and properties of the
nal products, the major industrial challenge lies in the possibility of controlling the
morphology, size of microstructures that reside within the molded pieces, as well as
their defects; this is the fundamental reason according to which we are more and
more interested in mastering the growth and germination of such alloys, as well as
the developing structures, at the time of solidication process.
The whole work focuses upon the modeling of the mechanical properties of aluminum-tin
alloys according the cooling rate for dierent tin proportions during the solidication
process.

AbstractNumerical simulations were carried out to explain the behavior

exhibited in experimental work on the dissolution process of silicon into a germanium
melt. The experimental work utilized a material conguration similar to that used in
the Liquid Phase Diusion (LPD) and Melt-Replenishment Czochralski (Cz ) growth
systems. The numerical simulations were carried out under the assumption of 2D. The
mathematical model equations were developed using Lattice Boltzmann Method (namely
the BGK approximation was adopted). Measured concentration proles and dissolution
height from the samples processed with and without the application of magnetic eld
show that the amount of silicon transported into the melt is slightly higher in the samples
processed under magnetic eld, and there is a dierence in dissolution interface shape
indicating a change in ow structure. This change in ow structure was predicted by the
present LB model. In the absence of magnetic eld a at stable interface is observed.
In the presence of an applied eld, however, the dissolution interface remains at in the
center but curves back into the source material near the edge of the wall. This indicates
a far higher dissolution rate at the edge of the silicon source.

AbstractEnergy lies at the heart of modern society, enabling everything from

heating, lighting, computers, and food production through to manufacturing, medicine,
and transport. The next step in the design process of the blade is the determination
of the material properties. The material properties of composite materials need to
be determined in order to model the structure precisely and for doing further more
detailed delamination and fatigue failure investigations. The composites were fabricated
2 ◦
in the form of 2 m (2x1m) plates using unidirectional and 45 biaxial mats, in
◦
dierent thicknesses. Furthermore the 45 biaxial type composite plates in dierent
thickness were joined with NORPOL vinylester adhesives of dierent thicknesses for
the characterization of resistance in de-bonding type failures. Sandwich structures with
2mm face thicknesses and 10-30mm thick 80gm/m3 PVC foam cores were also used for
the characterization of sandwich in exion and delamination properties. The base of
any design is the performance and the power output parameters. It is based on these
parameters that the overall dimensions of the blade are ascertained. After which a
more detailed structural design is done based on the forces applied as determined by the
operational parameters of the turbine blade. The structure then needs to be modeled
more accurately using the real material properties, the materials which will be used in
the fabrication of the turbines. Therefore experiments and mechanical tests are done
on the material specimens to develop a material properties prole, which this paper in
part will deal with.
Furthermore, the wind turbine blade consists of varying thicknesses of dierent
materials. These materials are in the form of dierent types of composite layups as
well as sandwich structures. The dierent components of the blade are then assembled
together with the help of adhesive bonding. The mechanical tests done to determine the
material properties are used as a precursor to every design process. Their reproducibility
and accuracy is important.
The strength of materials that were determined experimentally showed good
repeatability even when taken from random places in the same batch. This shows a
good quality control on the part of the manufacturer and the manufacturing process
being used. It has however been seen that the use of higher ply thicknesses cause
dimensional variations which aects the material characterization process. However
the use of dimensionless constants or unit constants such variations can be reduced but
the size eects always remain. [...]

AbstractThe durability of SiO2 compounds is closely related to its structural

properties. In this work three natural siliceous aggregates (called G1 , G2 and G3 ) are
studied. The chemical composition of the three natural aggregates shows that G1 and
G2 have almost the same chemical composition (SiO2 ) and G3 is dierent and contains
SiO2 quartz type and calcite as major components (SiO2 , Calcite and Dolomite). XRay
diraction (XRD) shows that natural aggregates G1 is more crystallized than G2 and
G3. After Alkali silica Reaction (ASR) process, the reactivity of G3 aggregate seems
to be higher than the G1 and G2 aggregates. The mechanical results show the slight
dierence between mortar containing G1 (M_G1) and that containing G2 (M_G2).
Their compressive strength is 10% less than that of reference (M_SS). As it is more
reactive, G3 seems improving the compressive strength of M_G3, compared to M_G1
and M_G2.

AbstractA simple template-free solvothermal method was developed to

synthesize hierarchical urchin-like NiCo2 O4 hierarchical hollow microspheres in an
isopropyl alcohol (IPA)-water system and subsequent calcination process. The initially
formed microsphere precursors were observed to undergo an interesting hollowing
process. These hollow microspheres can be easily converted to NiCo2 O4 hollow
microspheres by thermal decomposition with a well maintained structure. In view of
their unique structure and high specic surface area, the electrochemical performances
of the as-synthesized NiCo2 O4 hollow microspheres were evaluated for methanol
oxidation. The novel urchin-like hollow structures could enable full exposure of the
active sites to the electrolyte and provided a short diusion path for electrons, thus
leading to faster kinetics, lower overpotential and higher electrocatalytic reactivity
for methanol oxidation. The good electrochemical performances suggested that these
unique hierarchical NiCo2 O4 hollow microspheres could be promising materials for
energy related applications.

AbstractIn this work, we study the excitonic transitions in inhomogeneous

spherical quantum dot IQD. These nanostructures can be considered as a coherent
monocolor source, they are promising in many technological applications: photovoltaic,
LED, QD Laser and, quantum computing. The excitonic binding energy signicantly
increases, which gives them greater stability at room temperature. Theses
nanostructures become luminescent under dual control in a wide spectral range
from near UV to the near and medium infrared IR. With these optical properties
the nanostructure enriched the eld of IQD which generally have a high quantum
eciency and high photostability. The IQD presented in this work are made
out o ZnSe/HgS/ZnSe; CdS/GaSb/CdS; ZnS/HgS/ZnS and CdS/InSb/CdS
(Core/well/shell) modeled by a spherical well with innite potential. Our theoretical
investigation shows that the high degree of connement retains the 1Se − 1pe − 2se
(1sh − 1ph − 2sh ) order, guarantees excitonic transitions and isolates the ground state
e,h e,h
1se − 1sh (E2s − E1p can be exceed 6eV). The strong connement provided by the
innite barrier, reduces the population relaxation and limit the coupling between the
well and the electrostatic environment. These results qualify the nanostructure as a
system of two levels isolated and coherent.

AbstractInfrared thermography has emerged recently as a powerful method

of nondestructive testing in many applications especially in the civil engineering
domain. By subjecting the structure under test to an external thermal excitation well
controlled and analyzing the propagation of heat in the examined region, one can,
with appropriate treatment, highlight the presence of an internal defect of the studied
structure such as cracks, delamination or corrosion. In this work we present a method
of thermal nondestructive testing of civil engineering structures, based on the nite
element numerical modeling and the infrared thermography principle to detect bodies
of water pipe or steel bars type in a given building wall.

AbstractThe aim of this work is to develop a functional wood incorporating, in

its surface, physical and chemical properties that meet popular demand. For instance:
re resistance, magnetic electrical conduction (metalwood particles), antibacterial
reaction (copperwood), anti-pollution (zeolite-wood), dry coloring, reective eects
(minerals-wood). As part of the research on wooden materials, the technique of
"JAZOLTHOP" (CRITT-TJFU) driving micrometric particles before combining them
and moving in supersonic speeds was used in the framework of enriching a wooden
substrate.
Various tests were conducted on two wooden materials (r and ash tree) submitted
to four typologies of particles (steel shot, garnet, corundum and glass beads). The
surfaces of the test samples were machined beforehand for a use of conventional
smooth quality, thus dening a reference surface before incorporation. The enriched
samples were characterized by using two optical techniques; rstly a surface technique
through macroscopy Leica 110X ZP, then a volume technique through tomography by
using the Ens-Cachan facilities. Subsequently, volume simulations (wood-inclusions)
were implemented to study the thermal transfer. The obtained results showcase the
existence of certain set conditions to reach the critical uency of incorporation and to
localize the enrichment on a parallel plan to the sample surface. The results show also
the inuence of particles concentration and the kind of the chosen wood on the nal
composite matrix/particle media.

AbstractWe report in this work the electrochemical behavior of copper complexes

with GlyHisGlyHis peptide in aqueous solution using cyclic voltammetry in order to
understand the interaction nature of the metal with the peptide and to determine the
appropriate electrolyte. The electrochemical study of copper in PBS buer without the
presence of GlyHisGlyHis ligand revealed the formation of Cu(I) and Cu(II) complexes
with chloride ions and the formation of other adsorbed species. This result shows
that the use of PBS buer leads to an interaction between chloride ions and peptide
ligand and then makes the study very complicated. However, the use of acetate buer
discloses one redox process corresponding to Cu(II)/Cu(0) couple. So, we chose acetate
buer for all the subsequent studies. By adding GlyHisGlyHis peptide, we observe
two electrochemical processes corresponding to the redox couples Cu(II)/Cu(I) and
Cu(I)/Cu(0). This indicates that copper ions Cu(I) are stabilized by this peptide by
forming stable complexes.

the survey will be made at the daybreak because at this time, there is no disturbance
due to solar radiation, and this survey requires that the temperature dierence between

the inside and outside of the building will be equal to about 10 C. The results of
this diagnostic will allow us to identify air leakage through the building envelope;
assess insulation continuity and the severity of thermal bridges; and to investigate the

AbstractThe medicinal and aromatic plants (MAP) are a value-added sector

and a strategic human development. Conservation and hygienic quality of MAP showed
several hazards related to hygiene and safety: pesticide residues and microorganism
contamination. The use of solar energy as a mean of drying preservation of food
products is promising. It leads to reduce the water activity and make the product less
susceptible to microbial contamination and therefore prolong its shelf life.
Thymus satureioides, medicinal and aromatic plants, was conserved by nondestructive
innovative preservation process integrating sustainable energy. The process is based
on spraying an aqueous solution of natural organic acid followed by a partially solar
convective drying. Therefore, it is overridden to understand mechanisms inuencing the
treated thyme drying process compared with the drying kinetics of witness thyme under
the same conditions. For this, we studied the behavior of the product dried in a partial
solar convective dryer operating continuously. The experiments were performed under
real weather conditions.We studied the eect of drying temperature using dierent
◦
temperature ranging from 50 to 80 C and the eect of air ow drying of 150 and
3
300m /h. The experimental results show that there are no signicant variations between
the two thyme lots examined. However, the eects of temperature, air ow drying and
citric acid were observed.

AbstractThe use of bio-based materials in new buildings, such as Straw-Clay

(SC), corresponds perfectly to the French goal of 10% share of renewable construction
materials by 2020. However, few laboratory and in situ studies have been undertaken
on SC.
This paper presents a comparative experimental study of transient hygrothermal
behaviour of a SC building to a traditional one with vertically perforated clay bricks
(VPB). They are located close in South West of France and have same orientation.
Same protocol measurement has been used for both constructions. The envelope is
examined through airtightness test with infrared thermography survey. Two walls are
monitored for hygrothermal performance. Moreover, RH/T sensors for indoor air have
been placed in dierent rooms.
Data presented in this paper are related to the period between July and October 2013.
Unlike SC construction which shows homogeneous surface apparent temperature,
VPB building presents thermal bridges located at junctions between the intermediate
oor and the walls. In situ monitoring of walls underline that VPB structure has a
higher ability to dampen variation of external temperature than SC wall. However,
the SC wall acts as a moisture buer managing the humidity levels within the building.

AbstractThe use of hybrid plants combining renewable energy sources (RES),

national distribution network (classic power grid) and storage system is commonly
considered ecient and reliable. Various analyses (planning and sizing) have been
focused on RES (PV). The goal being to determine the best system conguration for
an ecient and safe operation. The aim of this paper is to treat the case of an urban
hybrid system composed of two renewable energies sources (solar photovoltaic and wind
turbines), connected to the national distribution grid and including a storage system.
A complete technical and economic analysis for ve system congurations and two
storage scenarios (e.g. with or without storage): National distribution grid - only, RES
(PV)-only, RES (WECS)-only, RES (PV/WECS)-only, RES (PV/WECS) coupled to
National distribution network. Numerical simulations are achieved using, among other,
an American CAD Software (HOMER, developed by from the National Renewable
Energy Laboratory, US). For practical purposes and experimental validations, we
selected the Longwy Campus which houses the IUT Henri Poincare, as a pilot site.
The results demonstrate that:
1. The storage is uneconomical in grid-connected congurations.
2. The RES are absolutely able to supply signicant power systems with the size of
an IUT, in conjunction with National distribution network.
3. The RES are technically and economically viable as an addition to grid-connected

supply. They should become even more attractive with increased powers provided
and declining purchasing supplies prices.

AbstractEnergy Eciency (EE) and Renewable Energies (RE) are among the
priorities axes to contribute to the reduction of the energy bill in Morocco. The National
programs of Energy Eciency, developed or under development, aim mainly to reduce
the energy dependency of the country and the preservation of natural resources.
The main aim of this work is to develop a methodology for performing experimental and
simulation studies in Morocco on prototypes of habitats in order to improve their Energy

zone Z2 (Tangier-Tetuan region in the northern of Morocco). The methodology consists
in carrying out models for an energy performance evaluation and thermal comfort of

AbstractImproving the energy performance of buildings is important for

reducing energy consumption. In Morocco, buildings consume for about 36% of the nal
energy consumption. In this paper, a series of computer simulations were conducted
to predict the power demand for heating and cooling process of a residential building
prototype with dierent envelope design. We found that adding Air layer and Gypsum
to the existing ceiling presents an adequate choice to our building in terms of reducing
heating and cooling power demand to 45% than the actual building also this technic is
large used in Moroccan architecture.

AbstractThis paper deals with laboratory measurements of some physical

properties of calcarenite stone from an original quarry of the Volubilis archaeological
site. Besides characterization of the calcarenite, this study aims to estimate its

Good correlations are established between these properties for dry and water saturation

AbstractEnergy sources play a very important role in the development of

moisture, with industrial and technological development of our century.
Energy demand is increasing every year, therefore we must seek another new source
of energy specically renewable energy including solar energy. We will look at the use
of solar energy by heat using a solar air plane sensor with rectangular baes, the
introduction of baes (obstacles) arranged in rows in the ducts of these systems greatly
improves heat transfer .
The passive use of solar energy makes it possible to reduce heating needs (in temperate or
cold climates). Some technical rules architecturally simple enough have been developed.
We addressed in this work, rst, natural convection in solar air collectors Plans for the
case of sensors with rectangular baes, then in a second, the study of the dynamic and
thermal elds in a Trombe wall for the thermal storage of the heat. We systematically
performed numerical calculations using a computer code uent.

AbstractInsecticides are one group of pesticides that are most commonly used
worldwide. With the growing number of insecticides that can potentially contaminate
the environment, the determination of their acute mammalian toxicity is of prime
importance. Chemoinformatics present an alternative way to avoid animal testing..
because laboratory tests cost time and money and actively opposed by animal rights
activists. In this work, Quantitative Structure- Toxicity Relationship (QSTR) model
established by using the articial neural network (ANN) has been used to estimate the
acute oral toxicity (LD 50 ) of these insecticides to male rats. The 123 insecticides of
the training set and the sixteen insecticides of external testing set have been described by
using molecular descriptors. The QSTR model was validated internally and externally.
2 2
A good results (Q = 0.96 and Qext = 0.95) were obtained. The prediction results were
in good agreement with the experimental values of LD 50.
The degree of importance of each descriptor has been evaluated by sensitivity analysis
approach for the nonlinear model. The main contributions to the toxicity were shown
to be the polarizability weighted Mor26p, the mass weighted R6m + and the nArX
descriptors.

stationnaire et purement turbulent. A l'entrée, l'écoulement est purement turbulent et
à la sortie du canal, l'écoulement est turbulent établi. Le tenseur d'eort de Reynolds
est calculé selon l'hypothèse de Boussinesq. Le nombre de Reynolds est varié entre
104 ≤ Re ≤ 3.104 et le nombre de Prandtl turbulent est P rt = 0.85.
L'approche numérique est basée sur la technique des volumes nis utilisée pour

AbstractAs population level continue to rise and the high cost of building
materials, the housing storage in Morocco has reached critical levels. Thus, a strategy
of diversication of building materials is recommended. Earth has the potential to
make a signicant contribution for low-cost housing, improving standards of living and
decreasing the use of purchased energies. The main objective of the study is to improve
the earth construction in the north of Morocco and demonstrate the importance of adobe
house to get an economic and energy comfort in harmony with the climatic condition
of our town. This is achieved by comparing from the thermal point of view between a
cement-stabilized earth block construction and a similar current house built out with a
hollow bricks, which is the construction method followed in Tetouan nowadays. This
study uses the TRNSYS computer program for the modeling and simulation of the
energy ows of dwelling. The eect on the heating and cooling load resulting from the
use of clay thermal mass is presented. In summer, the use of adobe leads to a reduction
of cooling load of 37.92%. Also the investigation shows that the earth construction is
more eective in summer than in winter.

AbstractReduction of energy consumption in buildings is a major objective in

the world and a special challenge for Morocco, where the building sector is responsible
for about 36% of the total energy consumption. Windows are essential components of
buildings since they allow daylighting, air ventilation and passive solar gain. However,
for oce building, the open view through windows is considered as highly desirable
characteristics. Consequently, the evaluation of the positive and negative aspects of
windows requires a great attention to several parameters. Thereby, the main objective
of this paper is to understand how a typical oce building is aected by the window in
winter and summer seasons in Casablanca. According to the results it's found that the
enlargement of window's size from 10% to 90% decreases the heating needs by 33.87%
and increases the cooling needs by 70.37%, additionally it was also shown that an annual
energy saving of 9.05% can be achieved if we use the south orientation instead of the
west.

AbstractThermal storage plays a major role in a wide variety of industrial,

commercial and residential applications when there is a mismatch between the oer
and the claim of energy. For storing thermal energy, two types of storage systems have
been developed. The rst is the sensitive heat storage system and the other is the latent
heat storage system. However, as part of this last topic, we study, numerically, the
contribution of a PCM in saving energy for a residential building. To this end, we will
use the PCM for heating (through the slab) to ensure the thermal comfort conditions
in the building. Thus, a solar collector coupled to a concrete slab provided with a layer
of PCM will be studied. In this work, a mathematical model for the thermal behavior
of the studied system is developed using the enthalpy method. Model parameters were
dened and the resulting equations are solved iteratively using the nite volume method.
Several simulations were performed to optimize the specic heat of the PCM. The results
show that the possession of a high specic heat C p,m ensures a thermal comfort in the
building.

AbstractOne of the eective ways to reduce energy consumption of buildings

is the use of thermal insulation. This study focuses on the optimization of thermal
insulation thickness of typical building's wall in the cold regions of Morocco based on
life cycle cost analysis and national technical and economic data. It demonstrates the
protability of the thermal insulation of building's walls in this region for expanded
polystyrene, polyurethane and cork using degree-days method. The optimum insulation
thickness varies signicantly based on the selected insulation material and the source of
energy and its pricing. The maximum recorded optimum thickness is 16.8 cm and the
minimum is 3.4 cm.

AbstractThe use of bio-based materials in new buildings, such as Straw-Clay

(SC), corresponds perfectly to the French goal of 10% share of renewable construction
materials by 2020. However, few laboratory and in situ studies have been undertaken
on SC.
This paper presents a comparative experimental study of transient hygrothermal
behaviour of a SC building to a traditional one with vertically perforated clay bricks
(VPB). They are located close in South West of France and have same orientation.
Same protocol measurement has been used for both constructions. The envelope is
examined through airtightness test with infrared thermography survey. Two walls are
monitored for hygrothermal performance. Moreover, RH/T sensors for indoor air have
been placed in dierent rooms.
Data presented in this paper are related to the period between July and October 2013.
Unlike SC construction which shows homogeneous surface apparent temperature, VPB
building presents thermal bridges located at junctions between the intermediate oor and
the walls. In situ monitoring of walls underline that VPB structure has a higher ability
to dampen variation of external temperature than SC wall. However, the SC wall acts
as a moisture buer managing the humidity levels within the building.

AbstractThe purpose of this study is to analyse the combined heat and mass
transfer of liquid lm condensation from vapour-gas mixtures owing downward along
inclined channel. Both liquid and gas stream are approached by two coupled laminar

governing equations for liquid lm and gas ow together with the interfacial matching
conditions. One of the purposes of this study is to improve our understanding by
examining the eects of a wide range of changes the inlet wall temperature dierence,
inlet values of Reynolds number, Froude number on the lm thickness and the condensed
rate. We found that a large temperature dierence and higher Reynolds Number
promotes the condensed rates and lm thickness. The condensation rate increases
by decreasing the fraction of noncondensable gas. Increasing the angle of declination
(decreasing the Froude number) makes the lm move faster

AbstractThe use of TRNSYS software for the simulation of the thermal behavior
of a building requires the integration of meteorological data of the site and solar

However, the weather station located at the FSAC (Faculté des sciences ainchock)

AbstractIn this present work, the energy required for cooling of a house located
in Algiers (Algeria) is determined by the degree-day method. The comparison of results
with those obtained with Trnsys software, shows that they are similar and compatible
with the cooling requirements with the seasons. In summer, a suitable hydraulic system
is used to cool the atmosphere for not investing in a mechanical air cooling system.
The selected starting temperature avoids the risk of condensation. A calculation in
permanent mode of operation has allowed us to determine the absorption capacity of
the cooling oor and its contribution to the improvement of summer comfort for the
occupants of a bioclimatic house.

AbstractThis paper investigates the onset of motion and the resulting convective
ow in a shallow porous cavity lled with a non-Newtonian Darcy uid exposed to a
magnetic eld. The two horizontal walls of the system are subject to constant uxes
of heat while the two vertical ones are impermeable and adiabatic. A power law model
is used to characterize the nonNewtonian uid behavior. The governing parameters
for the problem are the Darcy Rayleigh number R, power-law index n, normalized
porosity, aspect ratio A, and Hartmann number Ha controlling magnetic volume
forces. An analytical solution, valid for shallow enclosures (A 1), is derived on
the basis of the parallel ow approximation. Criteria, for supercritical and subcritical
onset of motions, are predicted. It has been shown that for dilatant uids, convection
is possible regardless of R value, and the magnetic eld increases the ow without any
impact on the threshold of convection. Nevertheless, pseudoplastic uids, the magnetic
eld contributes to the installation of nite amplitude convection largely below the
supercritical Rayleigh R = +∞ predicted by linear stability analysis. Examples of
analytical solutions for both cases are reported (n = 2 and n = 1/2).

AbstractThe energy consumption of today and the concept of thermal housing

comfort, has created a critical issue that allows the development of eco materials,
as a social, economical and environmental solution. However, think back to these
demands requires the establishment of local industrial systems and creating harmony
between industrialization and local development and craftsmanship. In this context a
methodology and an analysis process to identify a die materials in the named Greater
Region which is a delimiting three borders between Belgium, France and Luxembourg
has been followed. Thus an European INTERREG project called ECOTRANFAIRE
was lunched to resume the needs of cold regions. This is an example of a joint
investigation was conducted in three trans-boundary countries, which allowing work
together artisans, socio economists and researchers to propose practical solutions and
environmentally friendly. Thus, a state of place of eco materials market in the sorting
countries was studied and a dierent families of materials were examined according to
various criteria to be proposed as a solution of energy eciency of building in the cross
border context. The analysis of these types of materials has led us to identify seven eco
promising materials in this Region. The characteristics and the thermal performance
of these materials will be described in this work as well their hygrothermal responses
by the MBV test will be established.

AbstractDetection of cracks in mechanical components as earlier as possible

enables monitoring structural health and scheduling more properly the maintenance
tasks such as replacing the critical parts just in time. Vibration analysis based
techniques for crack detection have been largely considered in the literature. This
methodology relies essentially on the observed changes of beam frequencies and mode
shapes induced by the presence of damage. In the present work, using an explicit
analytical model assessing the eect of a crack on beam strain energy, the beam
rst resonance frequencies as they depend on a single crack defect characteristics
were evaluated. The crack equations were obtained by means of fracture mechanics
approach. Variations of the rst beam frequencies and modes shapes were then related
explicitly to the location and depth of the crack. Measuring the beam frequency changes
and monitoring their variations is shown to enable identication of the crack defect
parameters by solution of an inverse problem.

Abstract
Structural health monitoring research enables on time damage detection in order to
achieve fail-safe design of structures. This can be performed through relevant inspection
online or at optimally scheduled regular time intervals. The objective is control of the
risk of failure while optimizing the cost of servicing tasks.
Experimental procedures that enable damage detection as earlier as possible are essential
in this eld. Advanced analysis of the acquired information by the implemented sensors
can enhance damage detection, its quantication and decision making about how to deal
with some particular event.
In this work, detection of delamination occurring in a composite plate is considered
through using Lamb guided waves. These ultrasonic waves are generated by using
specic piezoelectric devices which can emit short time impulses centered at a given
high frequency. The presence of delamination damage modies the wave speed and
this characteristic can be used for the identication of damage by processing the
collected information. A multi-layered composite plate was analytically modeled and
the dispersion branches were calculated as function of the actual wave frequency and
material properties.
The time of ight between an excitation point and a sensor position is linked directly to
the group velocity of lamb waves which is calculated was by an explicit analytical model.
Solution of an inverse problem was then performed to the delamination defects features.

AbstractThis article describes the experimental results obtained by the solar

distiller by specifying the radiative properties of materials, the analysis of various types
of losses in the system and the establishment of the energy assessment of the system
being the main question to consider. The experiment was undertaken in Tlemcen-
Algeria by working out a solar distiller in order to measure the various temperatures
of the system. Salt was added to study the negotiable eect of the salinity of water on
solar distillation and it is noted that the production of distilled water decreases with
salinity.
The distiller is forwarded to a constant global solar ow. Experimental results obtained
in heat transfer of natural convection in the pure and simultaneous heat and mass
transfer, proven that these phenomena are in the boundary layer. This enables us to
admit that the existence of a stagnant zone inside of distiller is called the buer zones.

reason we mix the clay (chosen as base material) with dierent percentages of bers

new material with those of clay only, to motivate the proposal to use this material as
insulation in rural construction. This comparison of the energy performance of these
two materials, will enable us to deduce that the new material is lighter, its capacity to
delay the transmission of warmth is superior to that of the only clay and its use as
brick walls should give an energy saving over 30%.

AbstractThe development of innovative systems of heat storage is imperative

to improve the eciency of the existing systems used in the thermal solar energy
applications. Several techniques were developed and realized in this context. The
technology of the sand uidized bed (sandTES) oer a promising alternative to the
current state of art of the heat storage systems, such as xed bed using a storage
materials, as sand, ceramic, stones, ...
Indeed, the use of the uidization technique allows an eective heat transfer to the
solid particles. With the sand, an important capacity of storage is obtained by an
economic and ecological material.
This paper presents a CFD simulation of the hydrodynamics and the thermal transient
behavior of a uidized bed reactor of sand, to determine the characteristics of storage.
In this context the Eulerian- Eulerian laminar model with heat transfer was adopted.
This model takes into account the continuity, momentum, and the energy equations for
solid and gas phases (Sand-air). To close the governing equations for both phases, the
Eulerian approach requires developing constitutive equations as well as the granular
temperature of the solid phase and the drag coecient equations. The Syamlal-O'Brien
scheme is used for the drag coecient. It was validated by experimental results
available in the literature [1-3].
The simulation shows a symmetry breaking that occurs and gave way to chaotic
transient generation of bubble formation after 3 s. Furthermore, the predicted average
temperature of the solid phase (sand) increases gradually versus the time with a gain
◦
of 1 C in an interval of 10 s, and reaches the uidization air temperature (473 K)
after 60 minutes.

supported rectangular functionally graded plates under combined loads mechanical and
thermal.The material properties are assumed to be temperature-dependent and graded in
the thickness direction according to a simple power-law distribution in terms of volume
fractions of constituents. The equilibrium and compatibility equations for the plates are
derived by using the rst- order shear deformation theory of plates, taking into account
both the geometrical nonlinearity in the von Karman sense and initial geometrical
imperfections. The resulting equations are solved by employing the Galerkin procedure
to obtain expressions from which the postbuckling loaddeection curves can be traced
by an iterative procedure. A stability analysis performed for geometrically midplane-
symmetric FGM plates shows the eects of material and geometric parameters, in-plane
boundary conditions, temperature-dependent material properties, and imperfections on

AbstractSteady turbulent ow and heat transfer characteristics in a two

dimensional horizontal channel with isothermal walls and with staggered waved baes
is investigated numerically. The geometry of the problem is a simplication of
the geometry of corrugated baes found in shell-and- tube heat exchangers. The
governing equations that describe the uid ow and heat transfer were integrated by the
Finite Volumes Method, in two dimensions, employing the Commercial CFD software
FLUENT 6.3 with the low Reynolds number k−ω model to describe the turbulence.
In particular, ow eld, pressure loss, and local and average heat transfer coecients
were obtained. The simulation runs were carried out for dierent values of Reynolds
numbers at constant wall temperature condition along the top and bottom walls. The
largest variations in the velocity and temperature elds occur in the regions near to the
deectors, as expected.

AbstractThanks to the advantages of storing the latent heat of melting,

phase change materials (PCMs) are used in many applications including building air
conditioning systems. This study examines the process of solidication of a PCM in a
rectangular cold storage unit with identical horizontal internal ns. The PCM, placed
in the enclosure, is initially in heated liquid state having a temperature, Ti , higher than
the melting point, Tm . Heat is transferred from the energy storage unit through the
left vertical wall on which ns, aluminum, are attached. These ns, embedded in the
PCM, allow increasing heat transfer thanks to their additional exchange surface. The
wall is in contact with a vertical duct through which heat transfer uid (air), having
an inlet temperature, Ta,in , lower than the melting point, Tm , ows in the downward
direction. A parametric study was conducted in order to highlight the impact of thermal
and hydrodynamic parameters such as air inlet temperature and ow rate on the thermal
behavior and thermal performance of the cold storage unit.

AbstractThe purpose of this work is to make a numerical simulation of the ow

of air in the duct of at-plate solar collector with rectangular perforated baes. The
numerical solution of the studied problem uses the nite volume method to discretize
the governing equations.
The turbulence modeling is based on the model k−ω . The choice of the geometrical forms
of used obstacles has to satisfy certain criteria. Indeed the shape and the arrangement
of the obstacles aect the air ow during its trajectory. The obstacles provide a good
irrigation of the absorber, create the turbulence and reduce the inactive zones in the
collector.
The work presented in this paper focuses on the comparison of the performance of a solar
collector with simple baes and perforated baes. Study of dierent hydrodynamic and
thermal parameters allowed to visualize the importance of the presence of perforated
baes in the uid dynamic vein on the energy performance of the collector.
The results show that the optimization of the performances by the introduction of drilled
perforated baes leads:
• orientation of a maximum of coolant towards the absorber
• heating of a maximum of the coolant

AbstractThe Monte Carlo Ray Trace (MCRT) and the Finite Volume Method
(FVM) are used in this work to solve the complex coupled heat transfer problem of
radiation, heat conduction and convection in parabolic trough solar collector system. In
this paper the MCRT is implemented on the Graphics Processor Unit (GPU) using
an NVIDIA graphics card, CUDA and DirectX tools box. In order to reduce the
computation time in this MCRT simulation, this CUDA parallel computing was found to
run more than 60 times faster than a single implementation similar thread on a standard
desktop. DirectX coupled to CUDA is used to accelerate the 3D system representation
and the various progressions of treatment outcomes with great interaction. In the
MCRT simulation, the eects of dierent geometric concentration (GC) and dierent
rim angles were examined. To validate the coupled simulation, the heat transfer and
uid ow performance, in the LS-2 Solar Collector tube, was investigated. The results
found are very satisfactory.

AbstractThe natural convection in rectangular cavities with dierent aspect

ratios and hot wavy walls was investigated through numerical simulations. The
undulation of the cavity is xed to three (03) however the Rayleigh numbers is ranging
5 8
from 10 to 10 . Second law of thermodynamics was also applied to predict the nature of
irreversibility in terms of entropy generation. Heat transfer between vertical walls occurs
by laminar and turbulent natural convection. The computations have been performed
using FLUENT 6.3.26 by employing the k−ε model for turbulence .Based on the
obtained dimensionless velocity and temperature values, the distributions of local entropy
generation due to heat transfer and uid friction are determined. The distributions of
the stream function, static temperature, the total entropy generation and the local Bejan
number are plotted for dierent aspect ratios , Rayleigh number, and irreversibility
coecients 10
−4 < φ < 10−2 . The total entropy generation is found to increase with
increasing aspect ratios.

AbstractThe energy demand in the world is steadily increasing and new types
of energy sources must be found in order to cover the future demands, since the
conventional sources are about to be emptied.
One type of renewable energy source is the photovoltaic (PV) cell, which converts
sunlight to electrical current, PV cells are usually connected together to make PV
modules, consisting of which generates a DC voltage between 24 Volt to 45 Volt,
This project proposes a converter (DC / DC) which convert low voltage DC into
high voltage DC. A Microcontroller 16F877A design was chosen to implement a pulse-
width modulation technique for greater eciency .Before realization of the converter,
Protus Isis and Matlab simulink were used in order to simulate the high ecient boost
converter, some results of the proposed converter were presented.
These converters perform positive (DC-DC) voltage increasing conversion with high
power density, high eciency, low cost in simple structure, small ripples, and wide
range of control.

AbstractThe present work refers to the study of natural convection into a porous
enclosure, driven by cooperating thermal and solutal buoyancy forces. The cavity walls
are maintained at constant temperature and concentration lower than that of four inner,
heat and solute, cylinders witch arranged in two dierent manners. The physical model
for the momentum conservation equation makes use of the Brinkman extension of the
classical Darcy equation, the set of coupled equations is solved using the nite volume
method and the SIMPLER algorithm. Through a parametric study conducted, the eect
of the distance between the cylinders on the heat and mass transfer are widely inspected.
Powerful correlations predicting the mean transfer enhancement inside the porous media
as a function of the cylinders' disposition are proposed, at the end, which predict within
±1% the numerical results.
It is to note that the validity of the computing code used was ascertained by comparing
our results with the experimental and the numerical ones already available in the
literature.

AbstractA novel shape-stabilized phase change material composite for thermal

energy storage was prepared by the impregnation method followed by uniaxial
compression. Paran was used as a phase change material for thermal energy storage
and activated carbon acting as a support material.
The microstructure of activated carbon and the composite Paran/Activated Carbon
(COMP P/AC) was observed by Environmental Scanning Electronic Microscope
(ESEM). The thermal properties and thermal stability were studied by a Dierential
Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) and Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA), respectively.
The thermal conductivity of the PCM composite was determined by the hot disk method
◦
at ambient temperature (25 C) using a conductivity meter (Hot Disk TPS 500).
The ESEM results showed that paran is conned within the porous network of AC.
DSC results indicated that the latentheat of fusion and solidication of the composite
P/AC are respectively 102.54 J.g -1 and 104.67 J.g -1 when the mass percentage of the
paran in the AC is 40%. The TGA results showed that the composite exhibits good
thermal stability in the operating range. The conductivity of the PCM composite was
improved by the addition of graphite.
Due to its adsorption capacity of paran, its high latent heat, good thermal stability, low
cost and simple preparation mode, the composite can be considered as thermal storage
material by latent heat for practical applications such as storage of solar energy.

AbstractThe energy savings achieved by implementing high- eciency motors

are sometimes not sustainable since they may vanish rapidly. To have high-eciency
motors in factories is just a step but not an end in itself; the eciency of motor is
degraded when it is rewound. So that an electric motor stays ecient in time and
its durability lasts, it is necessary that it must be properly maintained. This paper
proposes measures to improve energy eciency and the availability of electric motor
in industry. For this purpose, the motors failures that were extracted from a typical
chemical industrial site and obtained during the period of 2012-2013 were used. Using
a critical study and analysis of Pareto, we were able to identify the most frequent
defaults that have a purely negative eect on eciency of motors and good way of
production. We also found the causes, and we proposed solutions to eliminate them.
Then we also developed a new strategy for maintenance. Furthermore, this study has
various objectives it aims: to increase the availability of motors from 79% to 93%,
to reduce times of stops caused by failures, to minimize power consumption, to reduce
maintenance costs by generating signicant benets to the company and protecting the
environment.

AbstractDistillation is the most widely used separation operation in chemical

industries; the great consumption of energy is the major disadvantage of this process
that is unable to reach a high level of purity of bioethanol. The objective of this study
is to model and optimize the distillation column, by testing the eect of impurities
of wine in their compositions which depend on the kind of the raw material and the
fermentation conditions. A parametric study of sensitivity of the tray feed of the column
and the reux ratio was carried out to optimize operation and improving the production
of bioethanol. The results of this study show that acetaldehyde has more eect on
the separation of binary water/ethanol in comparison with acetic acid and glycerol,
the existence of acetaldehyde at low contents changes signicantly the properties of
bioethanol, hence the need to install a control system to eliminate them.

AbstractTo permit the valorization of Mirabelle plum stones considered as

biomass wastes, sorption isotherm and drying kinetic of shell and mandel of mirabelle
plums are experimentally investigated. Adsorption and desorption isotherm were
determined at ambient temperature with gravimetric method. The isotherms have a
Type II behavior and hysteresis was observed. The experimental results of sorption
isotherms were tted by widely used models namely, GAB and Owswin models.
Moreover, a set of drying experiments were carried out to obtain drying kinetics
data of the two elements composing mirabelle plum stone: the mandel and the shell.
Experiments were conducted using ve air temperature (75, 85, 95, 105 and 110
◦C) with low air velocity. Empirical models such as Page, single-term and two-term
exponential models were used to t experimental results of air drying. It is found
that exponential models are suitable for fruit stones drying. Page's model is the most
appropriate model to describe air drying of mirabelle plum stones.

AbstractRadio frequency (RF) energy harvesting technology is attracting a great

deal of attention, as it can provide power to electronic devices, including applications
related to Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In this context, we focus on ambient
RF energy available in the ambient environment. The receiving antenna is the main
element of RF harvester as it has to capture the RF energy from the radiating sources.
Our work provides a new design of the receiving antenna to harness RF energy more
eectively. Several simulations and optimizations are performed in order to maximize
the antenna gain around the Wi-Fi bandwidth (2.45 GHz and 5 GHz). Variation of
the return loss (S11) passes below -29 dB for 5 GHz frequency and the radiation shape
shows a quasi omnidirectional pattern in WiFi bands. The dual band antenna proposed
is very interesting for the RF harvesting energy system, meeting the desired criteria to
maximize the ambient harvested RF energy.

AbstractIn this work, we will seek to model the distillation column of petroleum
fractions, especially the gasoline stabilization column to get a better use of energy,
increased yield and reduced costs of operation.
The calculation of the stabilization column was performed by using Soave-Redlich-Kong
(SRK) thermodynamic model, with the help of PROII software. A technical feasibility
study was followed to run the stabilization column at an optimum pressure. The results
allowed us to highlight the eect of pressure on the separation of products. From an
economic point of view, stabilization with optimal pressure may contribute to a decrease
in expenses related to the energy consumption of reboiler and of condenser.

partitioning of amoxicillin and regarding the mechanism governing the forward transfer
of amoxicillin. Results were interpreted in terms of a two-lm theory for at interface.
Dierent experimental parameters such as eect of contact time, temperature, adsorbent
dose and particle size have been studied. The results showed that the maximum %
removal of amoxicillin was found to be 84% on wheat grain treated with 20% tartaric

AbstractAs demand for energy increased in the various sectors of consumption,

the use of thermal energy storage (TES) systems for energy saving has become a
requirement. In this work, the modelling and numerical investigation of the melting
of a phase change material (PCM) dispersed with nanoparticles (Al 2 O 3 ) in a
thermal energy storage unit (TESU) is presented. The storage unit consists of a
number of vertical and identical plates of Nano-PCM separated by rectangular channels
in which circulate heat transfer uid (HTF: water). A mathematical model based
on the conservation equations of mass, momentum and energy has been developed.
These equations are then discretized using the nite volume approach and the pressure
correction method for the treatment of velocity-pressure coupling. The equation of
energy conservation in PCM was formulated using the enthalpy method. A series of
simulations were carried out to study the eect of volumetric fraction of nanoparticles
on the thermal performance of the latent heat energy storage unit. The temperature
eld and the ow structure are also investigated.

AbstractIt is well known in conventional journal bearing lubrication studies,

the thermo-hydrodynamic aspect analysis is focused essentially on the aligned journal
bearings by neglecting the rotating shaft deection [1-2]. However, they are the main
causes of premature wear of these mechanisms. According to the literature review,
under isothermal boundary conditions assumptions, extensive works have been reported
to determine the characteristics of misaligned rigid journal bearings [3-4]. El -Butch
et al. [5] noticed that the increase in journal misalignment deteriorates the oil lm
thickness and leads to the wear metal- metal contact issue.
In the present work, a numerical study of the eect of misaligned porous journal bearing
caused by shaft deformation is analyzed by taking into account the thermo-hydrodynamic
lubrication aspect. The generalized Reynolds equation is derived according to thermal
aspect, the porous structure and the shaft misalignment degrees. Dierent parameters
are calculated versus the misalignment degree, the eccentricity ratio and the porous
bearing permeability. Good agreement is observed between the results obtained in this
study and those of the literature.

AbstractThere is increasing interest to develop new steels capable of reliable

operation at high temperatures in many branches of industry, including ssion energy
power plants. The new steels should have higher properties: yield strength, ultimate
tensile strength, oxidation resistance, nonmagnetic, ecological characteristic and became
more manufacturable. Due to their high-temperature strength and anticorrosion
properties, high nitrogen stainless steels (HNSS) are becoming an important group
of materials [1]. Steels with dierent content of elements were melted in induction
furnace. Dierent kind of production was made: forgings, plates, tubes. Microstructure,
mechanical properties and corrosion strength was investigated. The addition analysis
has been conducted by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy method (XPS). XPS allows
to investigate an electronic structure, chemical bond and nearest surrounding of an
atoms. The investigation was conducted on a unique automated X-ray electron magnetic
spectrometer with double focusing allowing the investigation of samples in both solid
and liquid state. It is shown that the formation of a strong covalent bonds leads
to an increase in the activity of nitrogen, which is necessary for eective material
modication.

AbstractThe main aim of the paper is to investigate the possibility of

substituting the thick and heavy thermal mass external walls used in Mediterranean
countries by thin and light thermal mass ones whilst maintaining similar comfort levels
throughout the year. To make this substitution the use of PCM (phase change materials)
panels incorporated into external wall structure are considered. The results show that
inner temperature swings decreases remarkably in the wall with PCM. On the other
hand, there is time shift between PCM wall temperature oscillations and those of the
standard heavy concrete wall. This shows the ability of PCM to increase the thermal
comfort of buildings.

AbstractThe eciency of an oscillating water column (OWC) for wave energy

conversion depends on many factors, among which the incident wave conditions. In
the present work, the special case of Moroccan Atlantic shoreline have been discussed
through the examination of a meteorological data for wave height and period variations.
It is found that with its 3000 km coastline the global potential of oshore wave energy is
nearly 75 000 MW which makes the country able to reinforce signicantly its renewable
energy resources. As a part of this paper, the ow behavior inside the chamber of an
OWC-device has been analyzed through a numerical simulation using ANSYS Fluent
code. The ow is set to be incompressible, three dimensional (3D), viscous, and
unsteady. The turbulence has been modeled with the classical (k − ε) turbulent model.
Computations have been conducted considering the geometry of Pico built in Azores,
with a moving boundary in the area corresponding to the water's free surface. Analyses
are concentrated on the local ow characteristics inside the chamber in order to obtain
an accurate understanding of the ow behavior.

AbstractThe Instant disconnection of PV generators, in case of voltage dips, has

become for the network manager a real constraint aecting the stability of the electrical
grid, especially, for wide-scale integration of these renewable sources. However,
maintaining the connection of the PV systems generates an excessive increase in the
voltage at the DC bus of PV inverters equipped by a matching stage DC/DC for research
of point of power maximum. In this paper, we studied two methods (Hard and Soft)
proposed for limiting the DC voltage to an acceptable operating value of PV generators.
The results obtained show the eectiveness of these two proposed methods.

AbstractA numerical study is carried out concerning natural convection heat

transfer of CuO-water nanouid inside a square enclosure containing a heater and
a cooler with isothermal walls of T h and Tc (Th > Tc ) respectively. A computer
code, based on the nite volume method and the SIMPLER algorithm, is used to solve
the Two-dimensional NavierStokes and energy. This code has been validated with
comparison between the obtained results and those of Arefmanesh et al. [15].
To analyze the eects of pertinent parameters such the Rayleigh number, the solid
volume fraction on the uid ow and heat behaviors, the present work report the
convection phenomenon by means of streamlines, isotherms, and velocity proles, with
a special attention to the Nusselt number.
The results show that the overall mean Nusselt number is an increasing function of the
Rayleigh number and the nanoparticles volume fraction.

AbstractThis paper deals with a simultaneous heat and mass transfer by

evaporation of a binary liquid lm falling along a vertical plate. The left plate which
is externally subjected to a uniform heat ux while the right plate is the dry wall and
is kept thermally insulated. The liquid mixture consists of waterethanol while the gas

AbstractThe performance of components of cooling process (machines) is

strongly related to their eectiveness. In this paper, the goal is to perform a study
on the eectiveness of a cooling system using phase change materials (PCM) inside
wall of a Mediterranean building. The objective is to quantify the ability of the material
to store and release energy and also to control the temperature of the building to be
cooled to allow a good thermal comfort. The objective is to increase the thermal inertia
of the building which will have the eect of signicantly reducing the eect of diurnal
external temperatures. To realize these, the paran gel is incorporated in construction
materials. Indeed, the PCM has the characteristic of being able to change moderate
temperature phase and thus stores a large amount of energy. Moreover, the PCMgel
form avoids intra-PCM ows and leaking of the outside of the building material. The
time of charge and discharge of energy is not the same which results an ineciency
of such system. To control the time of charge and discharge, control of the exchange
surface is required. To achieve this, internal grooves are included of the PCM with a
ventilation control.
The objective of this study is the thermal modeling of the block in order to improve
its capacity to energy storage/destorage. Dierent numerical models were developed
using the Comsol Multiphysics software. An experimental study of the eect of
storage/destorage cinderblocks containing PCM with ventilation tubes was carried out.
The aim is to determine the eect of the closing and opening of the tubes on increasing
inertia of the block.

AbstractSeveral studies have been made to enhance the sensible heat storage
materials other than ordinary cement. Concrete, Castable Ceramic, alumina with 1%
nano-ZrO2 and Cofalit were identied as promising materials for thermal energy storage
at high temperature for their thermo-physical, chemical, economic and environmental
properties. The objective of this work is to study the eciency of these materials in
thermal storage and the structure of the storage system by demonstrating the inuence of
the dimensions of the drains, spacing, and thermal conductivity and thermal capacity on
storage temperature. The results of this work show that the Cofalit can store two times
more of heat than other materials studied; it reaches its maximum storage time twice
less than other materials. Alumina with 1% nano-ZrO2 has a large storage capacity
so improves its thermal conductivity. Materials with thermal conductivity values which
vary between 0.627 and 2.7 (W/m.K) have generally similar temperature variation, this
means that large thermal conductivity values are not necessary to achieve an optimal
storage.

AbstractThe cement industry is one of the major sectors energy consuming.

In fact the integral part of the cement manufacturing process, the sintering reaction of
◦
the raw material requires high temperatures around 1500 C [1]. This paper presents
the valorization of pomace used as alternative fuels (AF) at rotary kiln in Cement
plants. This study will present the impact of AF on process parameters, the quality
of products and the environmental component, the real scale data is employed. AF is

injected to be burnt at a temperature adjacent to both 800 C [2]. The physical and
chemical analysis of AF, and cement products; also the characteristic curves of the
incineration gases and their correlation with the kiln operating parameters allows the
optimization of the substitution rate AF. The work submitted therefore seeks to draw
the obtained results and advance a study in the energy cost of olive pomace. It seeks
after that to investigate the possibility of using other AF that could allow developing
the alternative fuels combustion.

AbstractAn analytical solution of a latent heat storage unit (LHSU) consisting

of a shell-and tube was obtained by using the Exponential Integral Function and
the variables separation technique. The working uid (water) circulating by forced
convection inside the inner tube charges and discharges the storage unit. The
comparison between analytical predictions and experimental data shows good agreement.
Extensive parametric studies were conducted in order to examine the eect of the
pertinent parameters (such as natural convection, mass ow rate of HTF, outer tube
radius, pipe length etc.) on the melting and solidication processes of paran as a
PCM. In order to provide guidelines for system performance and design optimization,
unsteady temperature distributions within PCM during melting, energy stored, position
of moving interface and thermal eciency have been obtained by a series of numerical
calculations and represented graphically.

AbstractIn this paper, unsteady natural convection problem in vertical open

ended, and porous cylinder has been investigated numerically to simulate the transient
heat mass convection in the grain storage in silos. A varying temperature prole is
imposed on the lateral wall of the enclosure. Time-dependent boundary temperature is
presented as sinusoidal function which can approximate real weather conditions. In the
case of constant temperature a map diagram (Ra, A, N, Ak) of the two observed ow
types, with and without uid recirculation, was obtained. In order to approve that heat
transfers are dependents of reversal ow and control parameters, the phase diagrams
connecting heat transfer (Nu) to the recirculation ow rate (Qr) was proposed. The
observed relative dierence between sinusoidal and constant wall temperature increases
with increasing Rayleigh number (Ra), dimensionless temperature amplitudes (XA)
and it is particularly sensitive to the values of buoyancy ratio (N).

AbstractThe daily and seasonal movements of earth aects the power

generation of photovoltaic solar systems. The aim of using sun-tracking systems is to
optimize the orientation of solar panels to compensate the power lose, maintaining
the best orientation relative to the sun irradiation. In this paper, we present a
new design of dual-axis solar tracker. This tracker is based on the use of computer
vision techniques to acquire the accurate orientation towards the sun. The main
advantage of proposed design is that it uses a sheye camera as an acquisition module.
The sheye camera oers a wide eld of tracking of 360 degree horizontally, and
180 degree vertically, with no blind zones. The processing of the acquired images
provides exact information about the sun spectrum position in spherical coordinates.
This tracker does not need any initial calibrations since the tracking process is
done independently of the geodetic and temporal coordinates of the site. An analysis
study explains the proposed tracking strategy and the relative advantages of such design.

RésuméLe vent est une énergie naturelle, appelée énergie éolienne, est capable
de créer de l'électricité: L'utilisation de cette énergie n'a aucun eet néfaste pour
l'environnement, Ceci fait d'elle une énergie propre qui est une réelle alternative au
problème de gestion des déchets nucléaires et aux émissions de gaz à eet de serre. Les
éoliennes représentent également une chance pour plus de deux milliards de personnes
isolées d'accéder enn à l'électricité. De plus, peu coûteuses à long terme, elles sont
une véritable possibilité d'économie au vue de la consommation croissante en énergie.
La production de l'énergie éolienne est relativement simple: le vent fait tourner des
pales qui font tourner le générateur de l'éolienne. A son tour le générateur transforme
l'énergie mécanique du vent en énergie électrique de type éolienne. L'électricité
éolienne est dirigée vers le réseau électrique ou vers des batteries de stockage.
De cette façon, pour une rentable conversion énergétique, les générateurs des
éoliennes doivent être conçus par des matériaux magnétiques de hautes performances.
La sélection précise des matériaux magnétiques doivent répondre à des conditions
d'utilisation diciles (par exemple, des températures élevées provoquant le phénomène
de démagnétisation) c'est la phase cruciale de la conception d'une éolienne. A cet
eet, faisant partie des familles des aimants permanents et ayants des propriétés
magnétiques relativement similaires à celles des aimants à base de Néodyme, les
nanoferrites avec un potentiel résistifs à la corrosion ont fait l'objet de plusieurs
travaux de recherches qui touchent le domaine de la fabrication et la conception des
éoliennes.
Le travail qu'on a réalisé s'inscrit dans le cadre de la recherche et développement

de procédé de synthèse des nanoferrites à partir des réactifs non standards extraits
de minerais marocains. Les résultats de la caractérisation physico-chimique des
nanoferrites obtenus seront présentés. Ces résultats ont montré que les nanomatériaux
élaborés ont à la fois les mêmes propriétés que les nanoferrites commerciaux et peuvent
répondre aux conditions d'utilisation dans les générateurs des éoliennes. En perspective,
notre équipe de recherche s'intéresse aussi au stockage de l'énergie convertie part
l'éolienne. Dans ce domaine, on a réussi la fabrication des nanomatériaux d'électrodes
pour la batterie Li-ion. Le choix de ces nanomatériaux vient remédier aux problèmes
de la stabilité structurale, qui par la suite augmente les performances électrochimiques
de la batterie Li-ion (cycle charge-décharge, la capacité de stockage).

RésuméLa consommation mondiale d'énergie ne cesse d'augmenter posant des

questions cruciales sur l'eet de serre et l'amenuisement des ressources énergétiques.
L'utilisation des ressources d'énergies renouvelables, telle que l'énergie solaire, éolienne
et hydraulique, devient une nécessité pour l'homme. En eet le soleil, l'eau, le vent
ont un faible impact nocif sur l'environnement ce qui a fait d'eux des énergies d'avenir
face au problème de la gestion des déchets nucléaires et aux émissions de gaz à eet de
serre. Parmi toutes les énergies renouvelables contribuant à la production de l'énergie
électrique, l'énergie éolienne tient actuellement une place importante. La production
électrique éolienne permet de moins utiliser les centrales thermiques à amme et de
diminuer les dépendances énergétiques. L'énergie éolienne est donc une alternative
majeure d'énergies renouvelables électriques, elle est produite par des aérogénérateurs
qui captent à travers leurs pales l'énergie cinétique du vent. La performance des
machines électriques est liée directement à la qualité des matériaux ferromagnétiques
utilisés. Ainsi pour concevoir un dispositif performant dans le domaine éolien, il est
impératif de choisir des matériaux de haute qualité, tels que les ferrites qui entrent
dans la famille des aimants permanants utilisés de plus en plus fréquemment dans
les machines tournantes (éoliennes). Les ferrites présentent le meilleur rapport
performances magnétiques/coût. Ils sont souvent utilisés en grande série, dans de
très nombreuses applications. La quasi-totalité des petits aérogénérateurs actuellement
disponibles sont équipés d'alternateurs à aimants permanents, formant le rotor, et
assurant l'excitation dont la plupart sont fabriqués à partir des ferrites de haute
performance.
Le travail qu'on a réalisé, s'inscrit dans le cadre d'un projet de recherche et

développement (R&D), de procédés de fabrication des nanomatériaux en utilisant des
réactifs non-standards extraits de minerais marocains ce qui permettra de valoriser les
ressources minières marocaines dans le domaine de la Nanotechnologie. Ce travail a
abouti à la fabrication de trois types de nanoferrites par deux procédés diérents. Tous
les résultats de caractérisations telles que, DRX, FTIR et EDX conrment la formation
de nanoferrites avec une pureté concurrente à celle déjà existante sur le marché. Durant
ce travail on a aussi réussi à fabriquer des nanocobaltites de haute pureté qui peuvent

AbstractThe objective of this work is to evaluate the wind resource in the area
of Tiaret in Algerian highlands. The hourly data used in this study span a period of
10 years. The parameters considered are the speed and direction of wind. For this
purpose, the most energetic and frequent speed as well as the Weibull parameters to plot
the wind rose were evaluated. Treatment focuses on coverage, the average monthly rate,
annual average speed and average speeds by sector and their frequencies, to optimize
site selection for future wind farm.
The highland site Tiaret is favorable for large ZDE (zone of wind development), why it
was decided to investigate the possibility to set up a wind farm of 9 MW consisting of
fteen wind turbine type WGT 600KW. Next, its noise was calculated and then modeled.
To assess the noise impact of our wind farm on the chosen site, we made a simulation
using the ISO 9613-2 method. We found a noise level of 42 dB (A) at 320 meters from
the nearest wind park consisting of six wind turbines type WGT 600KW and 39 dB (A)
at a distance of 480 meters. We can conclude that these noise levels have no eect on
health and comply with the Algerian standard (Executive Decree No. 93-184 July 1993
regulating the emission of noise).For visual impact, we tried to simulate interaction
between wind turbines and the environment of the chosen site. For this, we used the
software Google Earth. We optimized the placement of wind turbines.

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to solve the problem of disconnection of

the wind turbines from the grid in order to increase the annual benets from the wind
farm. Our project is about the wind turbine which uses doubly fed induction generator
(DFIG) to supply electrical power. The main defect of this technology is its sensitivity
to the reaction of grid voltage dips. In fact we started by analyzing the response of DFIG
to the grid fault by using mathematic model. Then, we elucidated the performance of
the generator during grid faults using simulation results and we suggested a solution to
keep wind turbines connected to the grid. We eventually veried the eciency of this
solution using Matlab/Simulink.

AbstractThe passivating layer at the front of the cell is often referred to as the
window layer because it must be transparent if the solar cell is to have a high eciency.
In this work, numerical simulation has been proposed to study the eect of the AlGaAs
window on the cell sensitivity to the electron irradiation to passivate the solar cell.
To expect the eect of gradual window layers, the current voltage characteristics are
evaluated for dierent electron irradiation uences. The results show how the gradual
window layer improves resistance to electron irradiation through its own parameters.

a duration DS slightly higher, regarding the city of Nancy presented the city the less
sunny by report to the two cities of Morocco. Similarly the levy monthly temperatures
for two cities (Fes and Midelt Morocco) presents the values almost identical, except for
◦
Nancy (in France) its minimum temperature average is 6 C and the mean maximum
◦
temperature does not exceed 14 C. As regards annual productivity for it is best to Midelt,
a little less for Fes and low for Nancy. This due to the made to the dierence in the
amount of insolation received by each site. We note that the values of radiation and of
annual productivity for a follower to 2 axs increase by a third, compared to the case of
the xed system.

AbstractCarbon and boron nitride nanostructures are of considerable interest

to researchers from many scientic areas due to their unique electronic and mechanical
properties. In particular, a single walled boron nitride nanotube (SWBNNT) [1] and a
fullerene peapods (C 60 @SWCNT) [2], have been reported.
The spectral moments method (SMM) [3] was shown to be a powerful tool for
determining vibrational spectra (infrared absorption, Raman scattering and inelastic
neutron-scattering spectra) of harmonic systems. This method can be applied to very
large systems, whatever the type of atomic forces, the spatial dimension, and structure
of the material. A usual method to calculate the vibrational spectra requires the
eigenvalues and the eigenvectors which can be obtained by direct diagonalization of the
dynamical matrix of the system. However when the system contains a large number
of atoms, the dynamical matrix is very large and its diagonalization fails or requires
long computing time. By contrast, the spectral moments method allows us to compute
directly the vibrational spectra of very large boron nitride nanotube systems without
any diagonalization of the dynamical matrix.
In the following, we use the SMM, together with a bond-polarizability model, to

calculate the nonresonant Raman spectrum for innitely long isolated C60 peapods (C
60 @SWBNNT). The eect of C60-tube interaction on the mode frequencies both of
the peas and the pod has been calculated using the Lennard-Jones, potential showing
that the lowest frequency mode region is more aected than the higher one. The tube
chirality's and diameter eects on Raman spectra were studied. These predictions are
useful to interpret the experimental data.

The calculation of the BNNT@CNT infrared and Raman active modes as a function of

and tangential-like modes in a large diameter range. These predictions are useful to

AbstractThe excellent mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of carbon

nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted the attention of many researchers. However, carbon
nanotubes are not defect-free in reality. Synthetized carbon nanotubes present various
kinds of defects such as mono-vacancy (MV) point defect.
The spectral moment's method [1] was shown to be a powerful tool for determining
vibrational spectra (Infrared absorption, Raman scattering and inelastic neutron-
scattering spectra) of harmonic systems. In this work, we have calculated the non-
resonant Raman spectra of carbon nanotubes with dierent concentrations of mono-
vacancy defects using the spectral moment's method. Raman spectra are calculated for
dierent nanotube diameter and chirality. A dynamical model for carbon nanotube
with MV point defect is proposed. Characteristic Raman modes of rings of defect are
identied. These predictions are useful to interpret the experimental data.

AbstractThe eect of the bi-quadratic exchange coupling anisotropy on the

phase diagram of the spin-1 Blume-Emery-Griths model on simple-cubic lattice is
investigated using mean eld theory (MFT) and Monte Carlo simulation (MC). It
is found that the anisotropy of the biquadratic coupling favors the stability of the
ferromagnetic phase. By decreasing the parallel and/or perpendicular biquadratic
coupling, the ferrimagnetic and the antiquadrupolar phases broaden in contrast, the
ferromagnetic and the disordered phases become narrow. The behavior of magnetization
and quadrupolar moment as a function of temperature is also computed, especially in
the ferrimagnetic phase.

AbstractIn this study, initially we calculated the total and partial density
of states DOS and band structure of ramsdellite T iO2 using the full potential
linearized augmented plane wave (FP LAPW) method implemented in the WIEN2k
code. We employed the generalized gradient approximation (GGA), LDA local density
approximation and Tran and Blaha's modied Becke- Johnson (TB-mBJ) exchange
potential (plus GGA correlation potential). We found that TB-mBJ results give one
band gap of 3.4 eV, very close of the experimental values obtained by other authors.
After, we used just Tran and Blaha's modied Becke-Johnson (TB-mBJ) exchange
potential (plus GGA correlation potential) for calculate and compare electronic and
structural properties between materials ramsdellite T iO2 and Lix T iO2 (x = 0.5 and x =

AbstractThis poster presents a band-pass Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW)

lter based on Complementary Split Ring Resonators (CSRRs). By etching Square
Complimentary Split Ring Resonators on the surface of the substrate integrated
waveguide. The bandpass lter is treated by three square double rings CSRRs cells
are etched on the top plane of the SIW, the simulated results of this lter have shown
that the passband is from 7.34 GHz to 9 GHz, while the insertion loss is -0.47 dB within
20.31% bandwidth around 8.17 GHz and the return loss in the passband is better than
-15 dB. The structure is designed on a single substrate of RT / Duroid 5880 permittivity
2.2. The compatibility with planar circuits is provided via a specic microstrip transition
(microstrip tapered transitions).

AbstractPrevention and treatment of bone infections is a very important subject

because the poor circulation of blood in the bone leads to the need for administration of
a large amount of antibiotic to achieve appropriate therapeutic threshold. The in situ
use of sustained release systems has proved so attractive to maintain therapeutic levels,
reduce the spread in unwanted sites and reduce toxicity. In the present work, we studied
the possibility of using composite microparticles Chitosan / Hydroxyapatite (Cs / HA)
as antibiotic vector. The composite microparticles were prepared by emulsication by
dispersing a chitosan solution containing hydroxyapatite in paran oil. The formed
droplets were crosslinked with glutaraldehyde. The antibiotic used in this study is
oxytetracycline. Inclusion of the antibiotic in the composite microparticles was made
by immersion of microspheres in a concentrated solution of oxytetracycline for 4
hours. The encapsulation rate was about 44%. In addition, we studied the release
of oxytetracycline under physiological conditions using a solution that simulates the
◦
physiological uid such as release medium and a temperature of 37 C. The amount
of oxytetracycline released was measured by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The results showed
a sustained release which decreases while the HA amount increases in the composite.
These biomaterials can, therefore, be used as antibiotics vehicle to treat or prevent bone
infections

AbstractIn this paper, we present a new solution of electrical muscle

stimulation, to restore defective functions of the nervous systems in some patients or to
train the muscles for athletes. The solution is to create a signal similar to the one sent
by the central nervous system to contract a peripheral system responsible for muscle
contraction. Thus, the work aims to develop an electronic circuit for stimulating
muscle contraction to determine its function by an electric biphasic pulse train. This
stimulator system comprises a clock, an inverter and a logic sequencer which shifts
the clock signal. The power stage is used to adapt the incoming signals on a booster
transformer coupled to a control stage to adjust the pulse amplitude.

AbstractThe major challenge in wireless sensor networks is the reduction of

energy consumption. Passive wireless sensor network is an attractive solution for
measuring physical parameters in harsh environment for large range of applications
requiring sensing devices with low cost of fabrication, small size and long term
measurement stability. Batteryless temperature sensing techniques are an active
research eld. The approach developed in our work holds a promising future for
temperature sensor applications in order to successfully reduce the energy consumption.
The temperature sensor presented in this paper is based on the electromagnetic
transduction principle using the integration of the high temperature sensitive material
into a passive structure. Variation in temperature makes the dielectric constant of this
material changing, and such modication induces variation in the resonant frequencies
of high-Q whispering-gallery modes (WGM) in the millimeter-wave frequency range.
Following the results achieved, the proposed device shows a linear response to the
increasing temperature and these variations can be remotely detected from a radar
interrogation.

AbstractThe study back to the equilibrium state of Pb-Cd-Bi alloys was carried
out by various experimental techniques such as hardness, microhardness, optical
microscopy and X-ray diraction. Two structural states were considered: raw casting
alloy and rehomogenized alloy, their compositions are: Pb2% Cd1% Bi; Pb2% Cd2%
Bi; Pb2% Cd3%Bi and Pb3.2% Cd2% Bi. The experimental temperatures are 20 C
◦
and 80 ◦C. The latter one was chosen because it corresponds to the temperature of
ripening of battery grids and the hot temperature for battery working.

and heat transfer of Al2 O3 - Water and Propylene glycol nanouid in three dimensional
dierentially heated cavity. The governing equations have been solved numerically
following nite volume approach using SIMPLEC algorithm. The left and the right
vertical sidewalls of the cavity are maintained at constant temperatures Th and TC,
respectively. The remaining walls of the cavity are insulated. Eective viscosity and
thermal conductivity of the nanouid are determined using Brinkman and Maxwell
models, respectively. Through a parametric study, the eects of the Rayleigh number
and volume fraction of nanoparticle were analyzed. The results show that the average
Nusselt number of the plane with y equal to half of the cavity, in general, increase with
increasing the volume fraction of the nanoparticle.

AbstractThe aim of our study is the formulation and comparison of

microemulsionbased brine / decane / anionic surfactant and two alcohols which plays
the role of a co-surfactant. The surfactant used is sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and
the alcohols are butanol and pentanol.
To investigate the eect of alcohol on the behavior of the microemulsion, pseudo-
ternary phase diagrams were established to identify regions of existence of the three
isotropic microemulsion structures (WI, WII and WIII). The results show that the
alcohol chain length has a remarkable eect on the regions of microemulsion. And,
a progressive transformation of the oil-in- water (W I) in bicontinuous (W III) and
inversion to water -in-oil (WII) microemulsions occurs upon increasing salt fraction.

des diérentes régions du Maroc entre 1998 et 2012 en termes de consommation
d'électricité, et ce, à travers le calcul de deux indicateurs énergétiques, à savoir
l'intensité et l'élasticité énergétiques.
En eet, le Maroc a mis en place une stratégie énergétique nationale dont l'un de ses
objectifs principaux est d'améliorer l'ecacité énergétique en particulier en analysant
les consommations d'énergie au niveau des diérentes régions.
Toutefois, en absence de cartographie énergétique des diérentes régions, on ignore
lesquelles faut-il cibler le plus pour améliorer l'ecacité énergétique du pays, puisque
nous sommes incapables de savoir si l'augmentation annuelle de la consommation
d'électricité des diérentes régions engendre ou non la création de richesse, ni quelles
sont les régions qui gaspillent le plus d'énergie.
Cet article se focalise sur l'évolution de la consommation d'électricité dans les
diérentes régions, l'analyse de l'ore par rapport à la demande, ainsi que la relation
par rapport à d'autres critères macroéconomiques tels le PIB et la population. Pour cela,
nous avons procédé au calcul de l'intensité énergétique au niveau des consommations
d'électricité et de son Taux de Variation Annuel Moyen sur la période s'étalant
entre 1998 et 2012, ainsi qu'au calcul de l'élasticité énergétique. Nous avons ensuite
procédé à une classication des diérentes régions étudiées selon leur niveau d'ecacité
énergétique en termes de consommation d'électricité selon ces deux critères ; en guise
de conclusion, nous avons pu identier quelles sont les régions les plus économes en

AbstractComfort, in living and working spaces, is a recognized and justied

request, which the designer must provide sustainable solutions to prevent premature
rehabilitation operation of the frame. The shape of the building, its compactness and
orientation, have a signicant impact on its energy performance. It is the same for the
choice of ventilation systems, etc.
In this study, the energy required for cooling of a house located in Algeria is determined
by the degree day method without consideration in calculating the free contributions
(solar and internal), the results will be compared to those obtained with Trnsys. The
results obtained by this software and those obtained by the method of degree days are
quite similar and are consistent with the cooling requirements with the seasons. In
summer, a suitable hydraulic system is used to cool the atmosphere for not investing in
a mechanical air cooling system.
The selected starting temperature avoids the risk of condensation. A calculation in
permanent mode of operation, will determine the absorption capacity of a cooling system
built into the oor of the house, perfectly discreet and silent. We can then assess the
contribution of the oor cooling in improving summer comfort for the occupants of a
house performance envelope .

AbstractThis work is part of increasing the protability of a sea water

Humidication Dehumidication ( HDH) combined, instantaneous ( shorten up the
HDH cycle). This is essentially an experimental approach which consists on studying
a new combination of HDH system based on the use of a plate condenser cooled by
sea water and the envelope of the system cooled by the ambient air, subsequently,an
experimental investigation of humidication process by injecting hot air in dierent
altitudes of the unit was held, where the solar energy was used to heat the air in
closed system through natural convection. The temperature of the free evaporation
surface was also analyzed to determine its eect on the ow rate values of the distillate.
This is a closed air system using solar energy and the cooling energy provided by the
low temperature of sea water and ambient air. The results justify the feasibility of
the proposed system, since we got encouraging results and quite comparable to other
desalination systems using solar energy, those results also allow us to understand and
predict the characteristics required for a new prototype of this desalination system.

AbstractThe energy performance is inuenced by the dierent forms which

constitute the roof of a building. This communication aims to highlight the convective
and radiative heat transfert in a triangular roof in summer conditions. A specically
developed numerical model, based on the nite-volume method, is used for the solutions
of the governing dierential-equations. The SIMPLER algorithm was adopted for the
treatment of velocity-pressure coupling. Concerning the radiation exchange, we consider
that the working uid (air) is transparent, so only the solid surfaces contribute to the
radiation exchange and assumed to be diuse-gray. The key parameters for this analysis
are considered as Rayleigh number (Ra) and aspect ratio (A). Results are reported in
terms of isotherms, streamlines and average Nusselt numbers (Nuw).

soient inévitables générant ainsi les inconvénients onéreux suivants :
• Manque à gagner pour arrêt de production ;
• Dégradation de la performance du système notamment sa disponibilité

opérationnelle ;
• Génération de contraintes d'exploitation liées à l'arrêt et au redémarrage des

• Détérioration de l'image de marque de l'organisme en charge du système en

est de réduire au maximum les coûts globaux liés à la dégradation de la productivité et
les manques à gagner liés directement aux arrêts pour maintenance.

AbstractUse of phase change materials (PCMs) in walls and roofs of the

premises is one of the solutions to reduce the eect of external climatic conditions
and energy consumption. This work is intended to compare the thermal behaviour of
two types of roofs of local conditioned. The rst as a reference is constituted by the
conventional building materials. In the second, two phase change materials are inserted
in several combinations and in dierent positions.
Both roofs are processed and compared for the same external thermal conditions for
the city of Casablanca. The comparative study is performed using a numerical code
developed and successfully validated. Comparison criterion between the roof reference
and that provided by phase change materials is the annual heat ux density transmitted
to the local conditioned.
The simulation results show that insertion of phase change materials within the
reference roof is favourable. The reduction of energy consumption in the room
conditioned dependent on the choice of the PCMs inserted, their thickness and locations
within the roof as well as the temperature of the conditioned room.

AbstractThe Management of the vinasse resulting from the conversion of

molasses in alcohol by fermentation is a preoccupation for distilleries. Indeed, its high
organic load actually a highly polluting euent.
The anaerobic digestion of this substrate is an interesting alternative to the process
of management/already existing treatment. In addition to the purifying aspect, the
biomethanisation allows to value a source of organic matter available in renewable
energy by production of the biogas (45% to 95% [1]). The Biomethanisation process
can be treated the euents with the higher pollution load [2], in our case the vinasse
has the value of COD equal to 78 g/l. SOTRAGEM "Company of the Gharb molasses
processing" is one of three subsidiaries of Delta Holding group constituting the
chemistry Husbandry pole. The unique ethanol distillery in Morocco by fermentation
of molasses beet and sugar cane, it has the peculiarity of involving the manufacture of
ethyl alcohol to that of the liquid carbon dioxide. In order to remedy the discharges
from the fermentation plant, SOTRAMEG has invested heavily in an innovative way
for the treatment of the euents. The processing treatment consists to coupling the
process for Biomethanisation with the extended aeration of the activated sludge. This
work presents the results of the performances of the anaerobic digestion of the of the
biomethanisation process and explains the energy savings generated by this investment.

AbstractThe main objectives of this research were to develop an ecological

adhesive from Acacia Mollissima tannins, with a good bonding quality of plywood panel,
good water resistance, higher mechanical proprieties and lower formaldehyde emission.
The screening factors evaluated were: the eect of lignin activation, pressing time,
pressure, pressing temperature, addition of epoxy resins, surfactant and the eect of the
order addition of the reactive. The quality of bonding plywood panels was carried out by
normative tests: tensile, shear strength and evaluation of the apparent cohesive failure
of the adhesive in the wood. The mechanical proprieties of plywood panels were aected
by lignin activation, pressure, epoxy resins, pressing temperature and order addition of
reactive. This study showed that inserting 40% of biobased resin in epoxy adhesives
formulations gives high water resistance for plywood panels and strong thermal stability
for adhesives formulation. This adhesives formulation can be used with successfully in
dry, wet and exterior application.

AbstractNowadays scientists and researchers started using more and more

ground based sky imagers as a rich source of information about the potential of local
solar production. Sky coverage rate by clouds represent a very important factor for
calculating the power generation by photovoltaic panels. This paper proposes the use
of image segmentation techniques to estimate the cloud coverage rate. The aim of
this article is to demonstrate the eectiveness of two segmentation methods: Otsu and
Multi-Objective optimization to distinguish between clouds and the sky as two dierent
classes. We will compared the results of the Multi-Objective Optimization approach
that calculates the optimal threshold with the Otsu's method.

Prologue Energy & the City of the future EVF

Foreword: Energy & the City of the future EVF international symposium in
ICOME15
Magazines and the web are full of references to the city of the future. Through
architectural freedom, city problems, geopolitical projections, sketches of the city of
tomorrow already exist in our contemporary world with their realities and fantasies.
Whatever form cities will take, a vegetable city, connected towers, adorned with
wind gardens, surrounded by photovoltaic farms ... Human realizes his happiness and
well-being in terms of mobility, housing, health, recreation ... elements that must
remain the outcomes of everyday life.
A simple trip to Asia or Africa today conrms that our reality is relative and
evolves according to the new geopolitical picture of the world. Thinking has its
place to converge to a balanced world and keep constant human development in its
sociocultural environment.
Regardless the screening, Engineering, Human and Social Sciences and the
interface between these elds will be determinant for the city to travel its way
between realities and potentialities. Simultaneously driven by human evolution and
architectural extrapolation, while meeting the constraints of energy resources and
wastes related to the human machine and its environment.
The projection will swing between uncertainty, models and their predictions and
hope into favorable technological innovations for weighting consumers' needs with
planet resources. Bio and nanotechnology also fuel these hopes by giving us the
necessary ingredients of a sustainable development.
The international EVF symposium is a place for expressing the dream, like a
futuristic tower with a strong science base and a top in the clouds. The habitat and
mobility will be entangled and sustainable tomorrow and they will feature prominently
in this day, which we wish you fruitful and rich in exchanges and interactions.

Commande décentralisée et supervisée par réseaux de

Pétri des Micro-Grids
B. Amghar, I. El Abbassi, A.M. Darcherif, D. Boukhetala
Abstract
Un Microgrid peut-être déni comme un système électrique de taille réduite composé
de sources d'énergie distribuées (DER), de batteries de stockage, et de charges exibles
de basse à moyenne tension. L'usage des énergies renouvelables dans les microgrids
permet d'en faire des systèmes d'alimentation de proximité, en particulier pour les zones
éloignées et/ou isolées. Cependant, cet usage nécessite des précautions notamment au
niveau de la commande. Le présent article développe une modélisation ne du Microgrid
et des stratégies de contrôle optimal. Le système étudié est composé de deux sources
: sources éoliennes (PE), une source diésel et des systèmes de stockage. La nature du
système nous a mené à proposer une stratégie de contrôle basée sur la supervision
décentralisé. Cette dernière est assurée par une commande à base de Réseaux de
Pétri conditionné par les états des diérentes sources d'énergie et la demande en
consommation. Des résultats de simulation ont montré l'ecacité et les performances
de notre approche pour le maintien d'une production permanente et moins polluante de
l'environnement.

Abstract
La production hybride décentralisée à base d'énergies renouvelables est une solution
technologique prometteuse dont l'intérêt économique doit être apprécié en fonction
notamment de l'éloignement de la zone à desservir, de ses besoins en énergie ainsi
que de l'écart relatif entre le coût d'extension de réseau et celui d'une production
décentralisée. Le but de ce papier est de proposer une analyse économique visant à
choisir entre un système de production d'électricité hybride (PV / générateur thermique
en conguration Fuel-Save ) et l'extension du réseau national pour l'électrication
d'une commune isolée au Mali Dioro située à 70 km du poste source. L'analyse
prend en compte le coût du cycle de vie (LCC) et le prix d'extension du réseau. Les
résultats montrent que le seuil de rentabilité à partir duquel l'extension du réseau n'est
plus rentable est 35000 US Dol/km

Abstract
Ce0.9Gd0.1O2-δ ne powder has been synthesized by a simple and fast hydrothermal
method at relatively low temperature (140 deg C) from high-purity commercial CeO2
and Gd2O3. The XRD results showed that the powder crystallite has a single phase with
cubic uorite structure; the average crystallite size was about 8.6 nm. The SEM results
exhibited that electrolyte pellets sintered at 1100-1300 deg C were dense, and the relative
densities of these pellets were over 96%. Impedance spectra analysis of this electrolyte
has been performed at 200-850 deg C. The results displayed for Ce0.9Gd0.1O2-δ high
conductivity at the temperature range of 550-700 deg C.

Abstract
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a thermoplastic resin commonly used for
injection moulding applications. The eects of the recycling of ABS on mechanical
properties were assessed. In this study, ABS was investigated in an attempt to
overcome some of the barriers that currently hinder the progress of recycling activities.
A recycling process was simulated in order to study the eects of recycling on
mechanical properties of pure ABS with the injection moulding machine to create
the specimens. Phase structure and mechanical properties of the ABS material
were characterized by scanning digital microscope and tensile tests measurements.
It was found that the eect of recycling on ABS is signicant, in that change in
tensile strengths and strains to failure were reduced considerably. Recycling of ABS
caused no more deterioration in properties than occurred as a result of the rst process.

Intelligent energy management and control for hybrid

electric vehicle
B. AMGHAR, H. TAZEBINTE , D. BOUKHETALA , A-M. DARCHERIF
Abstract
The hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is one of the most promising solutions for
terrestrial mobility. The most sold in the market, and certainly the most innovative
powertrain is the Prius. It uses an original serial/parallel conguration for the power
path to achieve the benets of both. The main purpose of this paper is the design of a
new hierarchical hybrid control for the HEV with Petri nets supervisor. The goal is to
reduce the fuel consumption and optimize the battery solicitation. The components of
the vehicle; including internal combustion engine, the driving machine, the generator
machine, batteries and transmission, the vehicle's load model as well as the designed
controller are modeled by MatlabSIMULINK software. The simulations are performed
in some urban and highway driving circuits.
Quasi-orthogonal sequences for low power wireless sensor

using event based radio wake-up
Raphaël SASPORTAS
Abstract
The common way to reduce power consumption of wireless sensor is to use protocol
based duty cycling which leads to a tradeo between power consumption and latency.
The approach based on radio wake-up event with addressing capabilities is a more
ecient way to reduce power consumption while keeping latency bounded. However
the major drawback of the radio wake-up approach is its lack of reliability that leads to
false and missed wake up in noisy environment with multi-access interference (MAI).
In this paper we present a theoretical approach to construct quasi-orthogonal sequences
used as wake up signal with addressing capabilities. We used the framework of the
theoretical approach to develop a new algorithm, based on nding maximal clique in
undirected graph, for extracting sequences with low cross-correlation. False Wake Up
(FWU) probability of the proposed sequences is compared to FWU of Gold sequences.
Simulation results show that the proposed sequences achieve low FWU probability than
Gold sequences. We conclude this paper by extending the use of the proposed sequences
in ultra wide band (UWB) wireless sensor network

Gestion et traitement des déchets solides ménagers :

l'expérience Algérienne
Elias Fouad MAMI, Mustapha Stambouli BOUDGHENE, Jean-Michel BRUCKER
Abstract
L'Algérie a connu ces dernières années un développement économique et
démographique sans précédent. Le taux élevé d'accroissement de la population a
engendré une urbanisation galopante. Cela ne s'est pas déroulé sans conséquence sur
l'environnement. En eet, le pays aronte aujourd'hui encore, de nombreux problèmes
liés à l'environnement, en particulier le problème d'augmentation des déchets solides
ménagers, devenu une véritable source de pollution. De ce fait, le traitement, le
recyclage et la valorisation de ces déchets sont devenus un impératif économique
environnemental et social pour l'ensemble de la population. Un programme national
de gestion des déchets municipaux (PROGDEM) fut alors lancé par le gouvernement.
Cela consistait à assurer la collecte et le nettoiement des villes en atteignant un taux
de collecte de plus de 90
Analysis of the impact of ventilation systems on air

changes in underground garages in presence of re
Milka Uzunova, Viktor Stoyanov, Angel Terziev
Abstract
The spread of harmful generated as a result of a re in a room depends on the
following parameters: amount of smoke discharged, geometric dimensions of the room
as well as the operation of the ventilation system. Proper design of the ventilation
system is essential for the rapid removal of smoke from the room and providing a
safe environment for residents. The purpose of this work is to numerically predict
the behavior of smoke in case of re in underground garages of large public buildings.
Numerical study will show the time and manner of lling the room with smoke and
its spreading in the presence of the ventilation system in the room. An essential part
of the study is to determine the exact location of the supply/discharge items, part of
the ventilation system, and the parameters of the installed fans. The results of the
numerical solution will provide information for more precise design and positioning of
such systems for their eectiveness leading to low energy consumption.

Numerical modeling of processes of transportation of ue

gases carrying solid coal particles through the exhaust
system of boiler
Angel Terziev, Rositsa Velichkova
Abstract
In worldwide, one of the top positions at energy production process refers to the
burning of coal in the combustion chamber. This types of installations are used mainly
for simultaneous production of thermal and electric energy. The process of burning of
the raw material (coal) is performed in the combustion chamber of the boiler. In process
of coal burning is formed high temperature convective ow carrying solid particle (ash
or non-burning materials). The temperature of ue gases depends on the operation
mode of the boiler, and generally these ranges are between 6700 and 8300. After
production of the ue gases they pass through a series of cooling devices (extractors or
heaters), where the temperature of ue gases is reduced signicantly. This is so-called
the rst stage of heat energy recovery. The experimental study shows that the size
of the solid particles varies from 90 to 200µm in diameter and it depends mainly on
the composition of the raw material. Following the geometry of the exhaust system,
solid particles initially are carried out in a vertical direction then horizontally the
two-phase ow passes through a series of cooling elements and then leave the exhaust
part of the boiler. The cooling elements represent minor losses that signicantly alter
the aerodynamics of the passing ue gases. Hence the velocity of heavier particles
decreases leading to their settling below the heat extractors. This resulting in reduction
of the neat area below the heat extractor deteriorating the operation of the boiler.

Abstract
Cet article présente une méthode de détection et d'isolation de défaut dédiée à la
commande tolérante aux défauts de système éolien à vitesse variable intégrant une
génératrice asynchrone. Ce travail s'intéresse au défaut de court-circuit entre spires
statoriques de la génératrice du système éolien. Le diagnostic à base d'observateurs
à mode glissant est l'approche utilisée. Les dépassements signalés des résidus, des
valeurs seuils prédénis, génèrent des indicateurs de présence de défaut exploitables
pour faire la décision de switcher ou non vers une commande tolérante au défaut de
court-circuit entre spires. La validité de l'approche développée est testée en simulation
sous l'environnement MATLAB Simulink.

Potentiel solaire algérien et aperçu des installations

photovoltaïques
Abstract
L'énergie solaire, présente partout sur Terre, représente une séduisante alternative
pour la production d'électricité grâce à la technologie photovoltaïque (PV). En
eet, en plus de diminuer la dépendance vis-à-vis des sources fossiles, elle protège
l'environnement contre d'éventuels rejets de gaz à eet de serre. L'Algérie, qui dispose
du gisement solaire le plus important de tout le bassin méditerranéen (169440 TWh/an),
est une candidate idéale pour l'exploitation à grande échelle de l'énergie photovoltaïque.
Dans ce contexte, nous proposons dans notre travail de passer en revue la production et
consommation nationale d'énergie, et de présenter les plus importants projets eectués
et prévus pour l'exploitation de l'énergie PV en Algérie.

Abstract
Dans cet article nous proposons l'étude d'un système énergétique à base
de ressources renouvelables, constitué de plusieurs éléments (batterie, hacheur,
modulateur, champ photovoltaïque, éolienne) dont la liaison est assurée par un bus
DC. L'objectif consiste à faire une analyse du comportement de chaque élément, dès la
réception de l'énergie (cinétique, solaire ou les deux en même temps) jusqu'à sa sortie du
modulateur. Notre approche se base sur une analyse qualitative (analyse fonctionnelle et
dysfonctionnelle) permettant d'obtenir les fonctions internes du système multi-sources
d'énergies ainsi que les diérents modes de défaillance qu'il peut rencontrer.
Eco-Mobilité : Les Systèmes de Transport en

Libre-Service
Karim LABADI
Abstract
La croissance de la population urbaine, le développement et l'extension des villes,
les préoccupations environnementales, l'augmentation des prix des carburants et les
grands dés énergétiques ont fait du transport urbain et de sa gestion un des enjeux
majeurs pour la ville de demain. Ce contexte a conduit les sociétés actuelles à une
réelle prise de conscience des questions environnementales ainsi qu'à des révolutions
dans le domaine des transports urbains notamment avec l'introduction de nouveaux
concepts alternatifs et durables tels que la mutualisation des parkings, l'auto-partage,
la voiture électrique ou encore le transport en libre-service. De nombreuses villes en
Europe ont suscité un intérêt considérable et un engouement à l'égard du transport
en libre-service notamment avec l'introduction des réseaux de vélos comme un moyen
de transport écologique (Vélib' à Paris, Vélov'v à Lyon, Bicing à Barcelone, ...) qui
présentent plusieurs avantages du point de vue socio-économique, de l'espace public, de
la santé ou encore de l'environnement ... et dont les progrès technologiques ne cessent
de les faire émerger dans les quatre coins du monde. Malgré le grand succès de ce
nouveau mode de transport et contrairement aux systèmes de transport traditionnels,
peu d'études fondamentales sur la mise en ÷uvre et l'exploitation de ces systèmes ont
été menées. Pourtant, de nombreuses questions émergent, la principale étant celle d'un
rééquilibrage ecace des stations. Cette communication constitue un tour d'horizon sur
ce domaine en plein essor technologique et scientique.
