Heat Integration and Controllability Analysis of Heat Exchanger Networks
(2014-05)
The objective of this research is to present a methodological framework for designing heat exchanger networks, which best addresses heat recovery, economics and controllability. The proposed framework formulates a systematic ...
A Framework for Predictive Modeling in Sustainable Projects
(2012-05)
Project management systems typically target the completion of a project within budget, on time, and fulfilling stakeholders' expectations and environmental needs from the project. The aim becomes harder to achieve when ...
Phosphorus and Algae Removal via Adsorption
(2012-01)
Algal bloom, commonly known as Red Tide in coastal areas, has become one of the major problems facing desalination plants due to the high biomass concentration of microalgae associated with it. It causes operational problems ...
Modeling Smartphone Power
(2013-06)
Battery technology has not advanced rapidly enough to keep pace with the growing energy demands of today's portable electronics. Leading this critical need for energy are smartphone devices which are being deployed and ...
A Framework for Project Time-Cost Optimization Considering Float Consumption Impact
(2012-01)
The main objectives of construction projects include completing the project on time and within budget. There is always a tradeoff between time and cost. Time loss is costly and time savings can provide benefits to all the ...
An ANP Approach for Selecting a Sustainable Learning Technology Intervention for Development
(2013-06)
Governments in developing countries and their donors waste a significant amount of resources on non-sustainable initiatives in the name of development. Educational expenditure is no exception. For example, vast sums are ...
Assessment of Integrating Solar Energy Technology with Combined Cycle Power Plants
(2014-06)
