The Honorable President of the University of Technology, Prof. Dr. Ahmed Mohamed Hassan Al-Ghabban, granted a letter of Acknowledge  to the Asst.  Prof. Dr. Jabbar Hussain Muhammad on of the teaching staff  in the Department of Materials Engineering, for his outstanding efforts in completing and publishing two research papers within Scopus containers, according to book No. 572 S/Aff dated 06/30/2022.

first paper titled

"Natural frequency and critical velocities of heated inclined pinned PP-R pipe conveying fluid"

Abstract
This work treats the transverse vibration for a polypropylene random copolymer (PP-R) pipe, conveying fluid. The pipe was placed at different support angles and subjected to variant temperatures. It was revealed that the thermal effects in the pipe are a very important factor and more significant in comparison with the internal fluid velocity and the inclination angle has a larger impact on vibration characteristics at a higher aspect ratio.
Second paper  titled

"Dynamic response of inclined pipe conveying fluid under thermal effect"

Abstract
This work is aimed at studying the dynamic response of polypropylene random-copolymer (PP-R) pipes caused by fluid flow inside them. The results demonstrate that there is a significant increase in pipe deflection with increasing temperature and aspect ratio. and fluid velocity, while a decrease in the deflection value is observed with an increase in the angle of inclination in the range of 0-90°.

Novel photocatalytic polyether sulphone ultrafiltration (UF) membrane reinforced with oxygen-deficient Tungsten Oxide (WO2.89) for Congo red dye removal
Abstract
The research aims to prepare an ultrafiltration membrane of polyether sulfone reinforced with tungsten dioxide (WO2.89) particles in different proportions, which has photocatalytic properties. The membrane was prepared by phase inversion method, and then the necessary characterization was performed using scanning electron microscope, atomic force microscopy, porosity examination and contact angle measurement, in addition to the membrane performance test. The results showed good microstructures and distinct porous properties with suitable contact angle. The membrane showed a high performance in removing red Congo from polluted water.
