Sustainable and Efficient Electric Vehicle and Charging System
(2016-11)Global warming is a major problem the world is facing, and the main contributors to it are greenhouse gases. Gas operated cars and electricity generation using fossil fuels are the major greenhouse gas emitters. So our ... -
Sustainable Cooling and Lubrication Strategies in Machining Processes: A Comparative Study
(Elsevier, 2019)Applying an adequate cooling and lubrication technique during machining processes is an important issue which affects the machining system efficiency. Flood cooling offers an effective solution to reduce the effect of the ... -
Sustainable Energy Replacement for Asphalt: Solar Roadways
(2015-02-01)The goal of this research project is to replace the current asphalt roads with an alternative that will make use of the thermal energy both from the sun’s heat and the friction from car tires that was previously wasted on ... -
Sustainable Integration of Solar Energy for Desalination
(2016-11)Water extraction, treatment and distribution accounts for 8% of global energy consumption. Which can be estimated as ∼7MJ/m3. The main factors affecting solar desalination plant feasibility are technology maturity, economics ... -
Sustainable Management of Animal Waste in a Rural Setting in India
(2015-08)For centuries rural people in India have used animal waste as a source of biogas to be used for cooking purposes. The animal waste is usually shaped into cakes and dried in the open before use. However, this practice has ... -
Sustainable Management of Organic Wastes in Sharjah, UAE through Co-Composting
(MDPI, 2020)Daily human activities and vast green areas produce substantial amounts of organic wastes that end up in landfills with minimal treatment. In addition to the problems associated with landfills, disposal through this method ... -
A Sustainable Nursing Home for Senior People
(2014-01-19)Lack of staff in conventional nursing homes has been depriving senior people of their right to be treated and nurtured properly. Moreover, most of the current nursing homes are not designed to be eco-friendly, and this ... -
