Pyrene-directed growth of nanoporous benzimidazole-linked nanofibers and their application to selective CO2 capture and separation
(2012-11)
A pyrene-based benzimidazole-linked polymer (BILP-10) has been synthesized by the co-condensation of 1,3,6,8-tetrakis(4-formylphenyl)pyrene and 1,2,4,5-benzenetetramine tetrahydrochloride in dimethylformamide. The use of ...
Comparative Study of Several Energy Dissipating Devices
(2011-11)
Large plastic lateral collapse problem of two geometrically identical hollow cylinders under compressive load is of particular interest in this work, since, the energy absorbed can be characterized by a smooth loaded ...
Performance assessment of an integrated PV/T and triple effect cooling system for hydrogen and cooling production
(2011-08)
In this paper we study an integrated PV/T absorption system for cooling and hydrogen production based on U.A.E weather data. Effect of average solar radiation for different months, operating time of the electrolyzer, air ...
Strength and Durability Evaluation of Recycled Aggregate Concrete
(2015-06)
This paper discusses the suitability of producing concrete with 100 % recycled aggregate to meet durability and strength requirements for different applications. Aggregate strength, gradation, absorption, specific gravity, ...
Soil remediation from waste lubricating oil
(Elsevier, 2018-02)
Soil remediation was investigated from waste oil contamination. Contamination of different soil particle diameters was prepared with different dosage of waste oil contamination. Solvent extraction technique was employed ...
Analysis of Maisotsenko open gas turbine power cycle with a detailed air saturator model
(Elsevier, 2015-07)
With ever increasing cost of fossil fuels and natural gas, the improvement in gas turbine power cycle efficiency is needed due to the tremendous savings in fuel consumption. Water/steam injection is considered as one of ...
Review of current technologies used in municipal solid waste-to-energy facilities in Canada
(2015-10)
The increasing amounts of municipal solid waste produced accompanied with the rising need for energy has caused a growth in the popularity of waste-to-energy (WTE) facilities as waste and energy solutions for many regions ...
An Experimental Investigation of a Cold Thermal Energy Storage System
(2013-02)
This research work investigates the heat transfer characteristics of a direct contact heat exchanger. A cold two phase refrigerant R134a is injected into water stored in an evaporator to exchange directly heat with the ...
Struvite Recovery from Anaerobically Digested Dairy Manure: A Review of Application Potential and Hindrances
(Elsevier, 2016-03-15)
Anaerobically digested dairy manure is rich in ammonium, orthophosphates, and magnesium, indicating a high potential for struvite recovery. Continuous generation of large amounts of dairy manure plus increasing global ...
Impact of Lateral Force-Resisting System and Design/Construction Practices on Seismic Performance and Cost of Tall Buildings in Dubai, UAE
(Springer, 2013-09)
The local design and construction practices in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), together with Dubai's unique rate of development, warrant special attention to the selection of Lateral Force-Resisting Systems (LFRS). This ...
