Alternative Energy Vehicles Drive System: Control, Flux and Torque Estimation, and Efficiency Optimization
(2011-08)Indirect field-oriented control, direct field-oriented control, and direct torque control are the most widely used instantaneous torque control techniques for the drive system of alternative energy vehicles (AEVs). This ... -
Analysis of a hydrogen fuel cell-PV power system for small UAV
(Elsevier, 2016-04-27)This paper investigates the integration of a hybrid power system for a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The proposed hybrid power system consists of hydrogen fuel cell, photovoltaic panels and battery. The UAV is modeled ... -
Analysis of a Recent Biofilter Model for Toluene Biodegradation
(2013-01)This paper investigates and provides a critical analysis of the toluene biofilter model developed by Li and De Visscher. The model simulation results have been reproduced and compared with several sets of experimental data ... -
Analysis of Maisotsenko open gas turbine bottoming cycle
(Elsevier, 2015-03)Maisotsenko gas turbine cycle (MGTC) is a recently proposed humid air turbine cycle. An air saturator is employed for air heating and humidification purposes in MGTC. In this paper, MGTC is integrated as the bottoming cycle ... -
Analysis of Maisotsenko open gas turbine power cycle with a detailed air saturator model
(Elsevier, 2015-07)With ever increasing cost of fossil fuels and natural gas, the improvement in gas turbine power cycle efficiency is needed due to the tremendous savings in fuel consumption. Water/steam injection is considered as one of ... -
Analysis of Water Evaporation and Drift Losses during Irrigation in Semi-arid Areas of Sharjah (UAE) and Riyadh (KSA)
(Springer, 2012-06)Water evaporation and wind drift losses mainly depend on air relative humidity, air and water temperature, drop size, and wind speed. Evaporation and drift loss during water application by means of sprinkle irrigation was ... -
Anticipated Discrimination, Choices, and Performance: Experimental evidence
(American University of Sharjah, 2018)This paper studies experimentally anticipated discrimination across gender, hiring patterns, and performance in tasks with different stereotypes in a labor-market setting. Participants are assigned to a seven-people group ... -
Applicability of heavy-metal phytoextraction in United Arab Emirates: an investigation of candidate species
(2014-01)Phytoremediation of contaminated calcareous desert land in the United Arab Emirates has been investigated. Soils from 12 northern UAE sites, suspected of metal contamination, were acid-extracted and analyzed by ICP-OES for ... -
The Applicability of Just in Time in UAE Construction Projects
(Scholarlink Research Institute, 2015-04)Material procurement in construction sites plays an important role in the life-cycle of construction projects. If it is not managed appropriately, it could trigger dramatic financial losses to the contractor as well as ... -
Application of carbon nano-materials in desalination processes
(2013-01)Scarcity of freshwater resources increases the importance of seawater and brackish water desalination processes. However, still, large amount of specific energy requirement, leading to high operational costs, presents a ... -
Application of eggplant peels powder for the removal of oil from produced water
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)The removal efficiency of oil from simulated samples of produced water (SPW) was studied using a low-cost adsorbent eggplant peel powder (EPP). The effects of pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, and temperature on the ... -
Approaches for integrated hydrogen production based on nuclear and renewable energy sources: Energy and exergy assessments of nuclear and solar energy sources in the United Arab Emirates
