Economics of hydrogen production and liquefaction by geothermal energy
(2012-01)
Seven models are considered for the production and liquefaction of hydrogen by geothermal energy. In these models, we use electrolysis and high-temperature steam electrolysis processes for hydrogen production, a binary ...
Capacity choice and water management in hydroelectricity systems
(2011-03)
This paper proposes a simple two-period model that captures the seasonal pattern of water inflows and electricity demand observed in many countries where hydropower is a major source of electricity supply. The model ...
Development Aid to Agriculture and Economic Growthrod
(2012-04)
The link between foreign aid and economic growth has been a controversial issue with no strong consensus so far. This paper argues that a possible reason why some studies may conclude that aid is ineffective in promoting ...
Comparative study for different Demister Location in Multi Stage Flash (MSF) Flash Chamber (FC)
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-02)
Multistage flash (MSF) is a widely used technology in large capacity salted water desalination plants. The enhancement in the thermal performance of this technology is still prospective and promising. In this research, ...
Design and simulation of a UOIT copper-chlorine cycle for hydrogen production
(Wiley, 2013-08)
A design and simulation study of the four-step copper–chlorine (Cu–Cl) cycle using Aspen Plus software (Aspen Technology Inc., Cambridge, MA)is reported. The simulation consists of four main sections: hydrolysis, ...
Approaches for integrated hydrogen production based on nuclear and renewable energy sources: Energy and exergy assessments of nuclear and solar energy sources in the United Arab Emirates
(Elsevier, 2017-01-26)
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has for a long time been using oil and gas for its electricity production. However, with increasing demand in energy, rises in oil and gas prices and their future possible depletion, the UAE ...
Irony and Humor as Feminist Narrative Strategies: Arabian Gulf Women's Literature in Perspective
(2016)
This article examines how, in her first novel entitled al-Shams madhbuha wa-l-layl mahbus (1997, The Sun is Slaughtered and the Night is Confined), the contemporary Kuwaiti woman writer, Fawziyya Shuwaysh al-Salim (b. ...
Storage Solutions for Power Quality Problems in Cyprus Electricity Distribution Network
(2014-01)
In this work, a prediction of the effects of introducing energy storage systems on the network stability of the distribution network of Cyprus and a comparison in terms of cost with a traditional solution is carried out. ...
A Novel Miniaturized Printed Elliptical Nested Fractal Multiband Antenna for Energy Harvesting Applications
(2015-07)
This paper presents the design, optimization, simulation, and fabrication of a novel printed elliptical nested fractal (planar) antenna for multiband operation. The proposed antenna is intended to function as the receptor ...
Grass filter strip residence time- trap efficiency relationship
(Wiley, 2017-03-19)
This paper investigates the relationship between trap efficiency and residence time in vegetative filter strips under unsteady flow conditions. A mathematical model, based on a kinematic‐wave formulation of overland flow ...
