Concentrating solar power (CSP) system integrated with MED-RO hybrid desalination
(2014-03)
Renewable energy technologies, in particular concentrating solar power (CSP), are becoming more and more interesting for powering water desalination system. Moving from a European Community funded project called MATS, ...
Dynamic modeling and analysis of biotrickling filters in continuous operation for H2S remova
(2014-12)
A number of important biotrickling filter (BTF) models are reviewed. For our study, a theoretical model, based on H2S removal in a differential BTF under batch mode, was selected among the models reviewed. Using a cascade ...
A Framework for Abu Dhabi Police Traffic Monitoring and Response System
(2013-06)
Abstract—The city of Abu Dhabi has witnessed a major growth in its population over the past two decades. This growth has resulted in a significant increase in the number of vehicles in the city. Abu Dhabi Police Department ...
Upscaling of an Innovative Cogeneration CSP System
(2013)
An upscaling of an innovative concentrated solar power (CSP) technology for the cogeneration of electricity and desalinated water (CSP-DSW) to be integrated into the Cyprus power generation system is carried out. Further, ...
Temperature Effect on the Mechanical Properties of Carbon, Glass and Carbon-Glass FRP Laminates
(Elsevier, 2015-01)
Externally bonded fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates are widely used to strengthen and rehabilitate reinforced concrete (RC) structural members in flexure and shear. Despite the clear and proven advantages of using ...
Designing constructed wetlands for reclamation of pretreated wastewater and stormwater
(Springer, 2017-03)
Wastewater reclamation is getting greater attention as an alternative to conventional approaches to wastewater treatment and water supply due to increasing water stress coupled with more stringent water quality limitation ...
Distributed Air-Conditioning Energy Management System within the Smart Grid Context
(2014-03)
Air-conditioning (AC) systems are the major energy consumption units in residential and commercial buildings. In the context of smart grid, optimizing AC operations leads to substantial saving in energy consumption, reducing ...
Numerical Simulation of the Flow in the Direct Contact Membrane Distillation Flow
(2014-11)
Direct Contact Membrane Distillation (DCMD) is modeled using conjugate heat transfer Navies-stokes flow model. A uniform salty and relatively hot feed and colder fresh permeate flow driven by peristaltic pump are considered ...
Energy-Aware QoS Uplink Scheduling for UGS Traffic Flows in WiMAX Networks
(Elsevier, 2014-01)
This paper presents a new energy-aware QoS scheduling and call admission control algorithm for WiMAX IEEE 802.16e wireless access standard. The scheduling algorithm works at MAC layer and is designed towards minimizing ...
Modeling and dynamic analysis of a membrane bioreactor withbackwash scheduling
(2012-03)
A dynamic model, based on mass transport and reaction rate laws of biomass and substrate for a membrane bioreactor (MBR), was successfully developed. Furthermore, an empirical model for flux prediction was used. Key kinetic ...
