Feasibility Study Of Utilizing Basalt Rocks As A Radiation Shielding Material, Essam Banoqitah Dec 2025

Feasibility Study Of Utilizing Basalt Rocks As A Radiation Shielding Material, Essam Banoqitah

Journal of King Abdulaziz University: Engineering Sciences

This study investigates the potential of basalt rock from the Harrat Rahat region in Saudi Arabia as a natural shield against gamma/X-ray radiation. Its composition and structure were examined using SEM and EDAX, and its gamma-ray shielding ability was tested through lab experiments and GATE-based simulations up to 1.3 MeV. The results showed that basalt is quite effective at attenuation low- to medium-energy gamma rays, with performance dropping at higher energies. Despite not matching the strength of specialized shielding materials, basalt's availability, density, and reliable performance at lower energies make it a practical and accessible option for moderate radiation protection.

Impact Of Temperature-Dependent Thermophysical Properties On Developing Laminar Flow In Micropipes, Khalid A. Juhany Dec 2025

Impact Of Temperature-Dependent Thermophysical Properties On Developing Laminar Flow In Micropipes, Khalid A. Juhany

Journal of King Abdulaziz University: Engineering Sciences

Micropipes, with their sizeable surface-area-to-volume ratio, result in an elevated heat transfer rate, making them excellent tools for compact heat exchangers, offering the advantage of higher heat removal capacities. Discrepancies exist between classical macro-pipe flows and micro-pipe flows in the literature, and one of the reasons is the assumption of constant thermo-physical properties. Analyzing microchannel flows with water as the fluid at a constant wall temperature with varying properties is paramount in understanding the fundamentals of heat transfer. This work performs numerical simulations for single-phase, steady-state, incompressible water flow through a two-dimensional axisymmetric micro-pipe under laminar conditions. The entrance effect …
