Power with Every Step
(2014-07-22)Satisfying the needs for clean energy by utilizing human footsteps. -
Predicting gasoline prices using Michigan survey data
(2015-07)This study investigates the predictive power of Michigan Surveys of Consumers (MSC) data for gasoline prices. Specifically, we utilize the MSC data on both expected inflation and consumer sentiment to construct a vector ... -
Prediction of Backwater Level of Bridge Constriction using ANN
(2012-12)Bridge constriction in channels usually causes afflux which results in increase in backwater level well above the normal level and may possibly result in overflow on the flood plain surrounding the channel during flooding ... -
Prediction of minimum factor of safety against slope failure in clayey soils using artificial neural network
(2015)This paper presents prediction of minimum factor of safety (FS) against slope failure in clayey soils using artificial neural network (ANN). Two multilayer perceptron ANN models were used to predict the minimum factor of ... -
Present and Future Trend in the Production and Energy Consumption of Desalinated Water in GCC Countries
(2013)Water is one of the pressing global challenges facing humanity. In the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, it is considered as the most critical challenges and is expected to grow with time. GCC countries have chosen ... -
Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis and spectral accelerations for United Arab Emirates
(Springer, 2013-06)In recent years, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has experienced an unprecedented growth which is coupled with the increase in seismic activity in the surroundings. Previous studies presents significant variations in their ... -
Process design of waste gas treatment from Emirates Gold Refinery
(2011-06)In this case study, the process modifications and improvement to the existing process at the Emirates Gold refinery (in order to meet the United Arab Emirates (UAE) nitrogen oxides air emission regulations) is presented. ... -
Process simulation and analysis of a five-step copper-chlorine thermochemical water decomposition cycle for sustainable hydrogen production
(2014-01)A process model of a five-step copper–chlorine (Cu–Cl) cycle is developed and simulated with the Aspen Plus simulation code. Energy and mass balances, stream flows and properties, heat exchanger duties, and shaft work are ... -
Produced water treatment using microbial desalination cells
(2018-05)Globally, 250 million barrels of produced water is generated daily for extracting 80 million barrels of oil. Having a highly variable composition and no economic value, produced water presents serious environmental problems. ... -
Produced Water Treatment Using Naturally Abundant Pomegranate Peel
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)Pomegranate peel powder (PPP) was employed as a low cost adsorbent for the removal of crude oil from simulated produced water (SPW). The effect of contact time, adsorbent dosage, pH, as well as temperature on the efficiency ... -
Produced water treatment using olive leaves
(Desalination Publications, 2017-01)Olive leaves powder (OLP) was employed as a low cost adsorbent for the removal of hexane extractable crude oil from simulated produced water. The effect of contact time, adsorbent dosage, pH, salinity as well as temperature ... -
Produced water treatment: Application of Air Gap Membrane Distillation
(2013-01)Air Gap Membrane Distillation (AGMD) has been implemented to treat produced water. The permeate fluxes, rejection factor and energy consumption for three different membranes, TF200, TF450 and TF1000, with pore sizes of ... -
Production of Acidic Bio-Char from Food Waste
(2019-12)Bio-char is a carbon-rich solid, produced by pyrolysis of biomass at a high temperature in absence of oxygen. The process also produces a hydrocarbon gas, which upon condensation, produces a liquid fraction and a permanent ... -
Production of Activated Carbon from Sewage Sludge for the Removal of Lead from Water
(2012-06)Different activated carbons were produced from sewage sludge taken from Sharjah waste water treatment plant. Carbonization and activation were carried out in steam environment without an external flowing inert stream or ... -
Production of self-compacting concrete using Jordanian oil shale ash
(2012-04)The potential of using Jordanian oil shale ash (OSA) as partial replacement of the cement on fresh and mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC) was investigated in depth. Six SCC mixtures were prepared with ... -
Production of sustainable pavement with oil sludge
(2014-05)Oil sludge (OS) has been used as partial replacement of asphalt binder for road asphalt production. The properties of OS were studied and the results showed that it has high content of heavy oil. The oil removal from OS ... -
