Hydrogeology of Wadi Wurayah, United Arab Emirates, and its importance for biodiversity and local communities
(2011)
Wadi Wurayah, in the Emirate of Fujairah, United Arab Emirates, lies within the Hajar Mountain range by the Gulf of Oman. The climate of the area is influenced by climatic events originating in Africa, Eastern Europe-Siberia, ...
Performance Assessment of a Liquid-Phase-Separation Refrigeration Cycle
(Wiley, 2012-10)
Absorption refrigeration cycles are alternatives to conventional vapor-compression cycles in which the energy required for refrigeration is provided by heat instead of mechanical work. In this paper, a novel refrigeration ...
Investigation of an integrated hydrogen production system based on nuclear and renewable energy sources: Comparative evaluation of hydrogen production options with a regenerative fuel cell system
(2015-08)
Hydrogen has risen as a sustainable and efficient energy carrier option in reducing environmental pollution, and is seen as a potential solution for the current energy crisis. Hydrogen production via water decomposition ...
Online Fuzzy Logic Base Algorithm for Electricity Price Prediction
(Journal of Electronic Science and Technology, 2017)
This paper presents a web-based system to predict the electricity prices. The proposed system captures the geographical location, weather forecast, and oil price for one week ahead. The captured parameters are fed to a ...
Energy consumption considerations in dynamic wireless sensor networks with nodes and base stations mobility
(2010)
Energy conservation is a critical issue in the design of sensor networks since the sensor nodes are battery-powered. This paper proposes a wireless sensor network with mobile sensor nodes and base stations to prolong the ...
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 ...
Performance of cementitious materials produced by incorporating surface treated multiwall carbon nanotubes and silica fume
(Elsevier, 2016-07-01)
The outstanding mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) highlight them as potential candidates for cementitious material reinforcement. However, their low surface friction and the Van der Waals forces of attraction ...
A Smart Home Energy Management System Using IoT and Big Data Analytics Approach
(IEEE, 2017-11)
Increasing cost and demand of energy has led many organizations to find smart ways for monitoring, controlling and saving energy. A smart Energy Management System (EMS) can contribute towards cutting the costs while still ...
Removal of lead ions from wastewater using multi walled carbon nanotubes modified with sodium lauryl sulfate
(Desalination Publications, 2017-12)
Multi walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) modified with sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) were synthe-sized, characterized and successfully used for the removal of Pb2+ from aqueous solutions. Adsorp-tion results revealed that this ...
A localized navigation algorithm for radiation evasion for nuclear facilities: Optimizing the "Radiation Evasion" criterion: Part I
(2013-06)
In this paper, we introduce a navigation algorithm having general utility for occupational workers at nuclear facilities and places where radiation poses serious health hazards. This novel algorithm leverages the use of ...
