This is to announce that three papers authored by Dr. Idris Hadi Salih, Head of Board of Trustees at Tishk International University, have been published.

In the first paper, entitled “Analysis of Electron Transport Coefficients in SiH4 Gas Using Boltzmann Equation in the Presence of Applied Electric Field”, the two-term solution of the Boltzmann equation method has been used to calculate the electron swarm parameters of SiH4 gas. This paper was published in the Zanco Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences (ZJPAS (2019), 31(1), 77-88).

In the second paper, entitled “Solving of the Boltzmann transport equation using a two-term approximation for pure electronegative gases (S, CC)”, the effective ionization coefficients in S and CC gases have been evaluated by solution two-term approximation Boltzmann equation technique at wide range reduced electric field E/N from 100 Td to 1000 Td. This paper was published also in the Zanco Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences (ZJPAS (2019), 31(54), 7-25).

In the third paper, entitled “Transport Parameters and dielectric Strength of Electrical Discharges in an Arc Discharges in Carbon Dioxide Gas”, the values of the critical reduced electric field strength were evaluated from the curves of reduced effective ionization coefficient (α-η)/N, excitation rates and fractional power transfer to elastic and inelastic collisions are explained. In addition, the electron energy distribution function (EEDF), dielectric strength, and the electron swarm parameters in carbon dioxide over the wide range of reduced density electric field strength E/N varying from 0.1 to 1000 Td (1Td= ). This article was formally accepted for publication in one of the upcoming numbers of the Zanco Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences.

Dr. Idris Hadi, and the other authors in the fourth paper, entitled “Calculation of Electron Swarm Parameters in Tetrafluoromethane”, calculated the EEDF, electron swarm parameters, and density normalized effective ionization coefficient of tetrafluoromethane (CF4) using the two-term approximation solution of Boltzmann equation method for the range reduced electrical field strength varying from 0.1 Td to 1000 Td at temperature 300K. This article was published in ARO-The Scientific Journal of Koya University (Aro, Vol. III, No.2 (2020), PP. 22-28).

On behalf of the Mechatronics Engineering Department/ Tishk International University, would like to congratulate Dr. Idris Hadi for his academic achievements and wish him continued success in his endeavor.
