The Combined Effect of Loading Frequency, Temperature, and Stress Level on the Fatigue Life of Asphalt Paving Mixtures Using the IDT Test Configuration
(Elsevier, 2014-01)The main objective of this study was to investigate the combined effect of the loading frequency, temperature, and stress level on the fatigue life of asphalt paving mixtures. Asphalt mixtures were designed using the ... -
A comparative assessment of net metering and feed in tariff schemes for residential PV systems
(2013-09)In this work, a comparative assessment of net metering vs. feed-in-tariff (FiT) supporting schemes for residential PV systems is carried out. A formulation for the computation of net metering supporting scheme parameters, ... -
A comparative overview of large-scale battery systems for electricity storage
(2013-11)In this work, an overview of the different types of batteries used for large-scale electricity storage is carried out. In particular, the current operational large-scale battery energy storage systems around the world with ... -
A comparative overview of wet and dry cooling systems for Rankine cycle based CSP plants
(2013-01)Today, the combination of global warming and volatile conventional fuel prices are key factors in driving investment in electricity generation plants based on the concentrated solar power (CSP) technology. With ... -
Comparative study for different Demister Location in Multi Stage Flash (MSF) Flash Chamber (FC)
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-02)Multistage flash (MSF) is a widely used technology in large capacity salted water desalination plants. The enhancement in the thermal performance of this technology is still prospective and promising. In this research, ... -
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 ... -
Comparison of diesel emission experiments in view of the environment: A case study at Dubai
(2012)Because of the nature of the diesel engine combustion process, such engines produce more toxic emissions, more visible smoke and odour than gasoline engines. This has led to an increasing concern about the possible effects ... -
Comparison of Energy Efficiency Strategies for Mosques in the United Arab Emirates
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)As public buildings that are typically financed by charities, mosques are commonly designed, built, and operated using very limited resources. Hence, failure to design energy efficient mosques either affects occupants' ... -
