The reasons

The University of Ghardaia is a young university that is developing in terms of the number of students and open specialties, as well as in terms of the quality of supervision. In this context, and to develop scientific research and improve postgraduate training at our university, then the need to support research related to the specificities of the region (Environment, existing energy systems, industries, water, local Saharan resources, etc.), the creation of the research laboratory was essential and necessary given the absence of this type of research structure. This laboratory brings together research themes that link different fields related to fundamental sciences and engineering sciences. It will also allow us to involve the university’s teacher-researchers in research themes that are in line with the socio-economic sector of the region, so it is necessary to coordinate between the sectors existing in the region, and optimize their financial resources.

Scientific research and technological development objectives:

– Try to meet the needs of the socio-economic partner;
– Reduce the harmful impact on the environment.
– The grouping of teacher-researchers from different specialties (mechanics, physics, materials, chemistry, electronics, electrical engineering, process engineering, hydraulics), in order to exploit their potential and skills.
– Give impetus to scientific research, given the absence of this type of laboratory within our university.
– The training of students in the field by supervising masters and doctorates.
– The publication of scientific results in recognized international journals, as well as the participation and organization of national and international seminars for the exchange of knowledge and experiences with other researchers as well as for the socio-economic world.
– The contribution to the development of the industrial sector.

Themes supported by the proposed laboratory:

The activity of the MESTEL laboratory is multidisciplinary whose main research axes are:

– Modeling, optimization and reliability of energy systems;
– Environmental impact on energy systems;
– Corrosion protection, separation and treatment of fluids;
– Nanotechnology
– Simulation of heat transfer phenomena;
– Interactions in plasma physics;
– Manufacturing and development of hybrid and composite materials;
– Study and analysis of Saharan natural resources;
– Environmental conservation.

Teams:

1- Modeling, optimization and reliability of energy systems and environment
2- Plasma and Advanced Materials;
3- Valorization of Natural Resources, and Physicochemical Analysis;
4- Simulation of Heat Transfer Phenomena;

5- Innovation and intelligence artifice application.
