Synergistic reinforcement of HDPE biocomposites with kaolinite nanoparticles and alfa fiber: A path toward enhanced performance

Journal of Composite Materials (2025)

Ebah Kablan Fatima-Ezzahra Nazih Hala Bensalah Souad Nekhlaoui Marya Raji

This study developed sustainable, cost-effective hybrid composites using high-density polyethylene (HDPE) reinforced with kaolinite particles (KP) and alfa short fibers (ASF) in varying volume fractions (15/0, 10/5, 7.5/7.5, 5/10, 0/15). Injection-molded composites were analyzed for mechanical, thermal, and rheological properties, revealing significant improvements in Young’s modulus (up to 61.60%) with KP and ASF additions. Hybrid composites (7.5:7.5 and 10:5) showed superior elasticity, while the 5:10 formulation achieved the highest storage modulus of 1874 MPa, outperforming pure HDPE (1035 MPa). Thermal analysis indicated stable KP-rich composites and progressive crystallization disruption with increasing filler content. To align experimental and theoretical results, the Young’s modulus for KP and ASF was estimated at 5000 MPa and 8500 MPa, respectively. The optimal 7.5:7.5 hybrid offered balanced mechanical and thermal performance with enhanced elasticity and reduced energy consumption during processing, demonstrating the potential of these hybrids as renewable, sustainable materials for automotive, construction, and sports applications.

Numerical Study of the Thermal Efficiency of Buildings Built by Earth Blocks Stabilized by Cement

International Review of Mechanical Engineering (IREME) (2017)

M. Belcadi Kamal Gueraoui Hala Bensalah

Several buildings in the world are built using earth blocks. They have thermal properties that vary with the nature and the rate of their different composition. This type of technique is most used in rural areas, which have a very cold climate in winter and a very hot climate in summer, with a significant gradient of temperature during the day. The construction using earth blocks is less expensive because it uses soil in its natural state without any loss of energy. It is easy to create walls of different dimensions in order to increase the thermal resistance of the building and to reduce the heat flow between the inside and the outside of the building. In this article, the authors will numerically study the thermal efficiency of a simple building consisting of a cylindrical chamber with side walls and a roof made using earth blocks stabilized by cement. The lower wall is confused with the ground. They will also numerically solve the heat equation in cylindrical coordinates using the finite volume method taken implicit in time using the FORTRAN program. The results obtained show that the thermal stability inside the building increases with the increase of wall thickness and the rate of cement stabilization.

Mathematical and Numerical Modeling of the Suspension of Particles Due to the Air Flow Between Two Rigid Walls

International Review of Civil Engineering (IRECE) (2018)

Hamid Benbih Kamal Gueraoui Hala Bensalah A. Rtibi Y. Belkasmi

The main objective of this research was to study the suspension of particles in a turbulent flow (k-ε model) of a Newtonian fluid between two rigid walls. The mathematical study is presented by Navier-Stokes equations and equation of transport of the particles. In order to study the effect of the fluctuations, the decomposition of Reynolds was applied to all the equations previously established. The approach of the phenomenon is made using mathematical and numerical way by using the finite volume method as a method of discretization, and the Gauss-Seidel method as a method of solution. This is to establish a numerical code, using the FORTRAN language, which makes it possible to solve the equations and to determine the particle’s concentration profile c, and the fluid velocities u, w respectively in Cartesian coordinate. The work carried out concerns the understanding and the modeling of the mechanisms of suspension of solid particles in a fluid flow.

Mechanical, thermal, and rheological properties of polypropylene hybrid composites based clay and graphite

Journal of Composite Materials (2017)

Hala Bensalah Kamal Gueraoui Hamid Essabir Denis Rodrigue Rachid Bouhfid

Polypropylene hybrid composites based on a mixture of graphite and clay were compounded by twin-screw extrusion and injection molded. In particular, the effect of reinforcement content and ratio of each particle was studied via morphological, mechanical, rheological, and thermal properties. The properties were evaluated in both solid and melt state to determine the mechanical performance of these materials. The results showed that these composites have excellent mechanical properties when compared to the neat polymer matrix. For example, the tensile moduli are 1607 and 1445 MPa for 30 wt% of clay and graphite respectively, while a 10:10 ratio of clay/graphite produced a value of 1500 MPa. Morphological analyses showed good adhesion/dispersion of both particles in the matrix, which was confirmed by good tensile strength results. Also, thermal stability was improved by adding clay and graphite particles, the results showing between 40℃ and 50℃ increased at 20 wt% content. Finally, a combination of graphite and clay is shown to produce hybrid composites with improved performances.

Theoretical and Numerical Modeling of Turbulent Flow Problems in an Anaerobic Digester of Household Waste in Morocco

International Review of Civil Engineering (IRECE) (2018)

Abdeslam Mohcine Kamal Gueraoui Moad Mahboub Hala Bensalah A. Rtibi

Anaerobic digestion can play a strategic role in the development of waste management systems, since it is capable of treating almost all the biodegradable fractions and generally the majority of agricultural residues, animal waste, and household waste, waste from urban and industrial centers. Methanisation is a complex biochemical process carried out in the absence of oxygen and involving different microbial communities in the degradation and conversion of polymers of organic matter into reduced end products, including high-energy biogas. We present a mathematical modeling of the turbulent flow of fluids based on the model of K-epsilon. Thus, the numerical methods that we have chosen to solve the equations of our problem are based on the finite volume method and the Gauss-Seidel method. Our study is very important, since gathered between several physical, chemical and biological domains to determine the different factors that influence the biological degradation. This study allows us to know the advantage of the mechanical agitation on the time of stays of the waste and the increase of yield of digesters and subsequently the production of biogas.
