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 ...
The cost of integration of parabolic trough CSP plants in isolated Mediterranean power systems
(2010-06)
In this work, a technical and economic analysis concerning the integration of parabolic trough concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies, with or without thermal storage capability, in an existing typical small isolated ...
Concentration of Selected Anions in Bottled Water in the United Arab Emirates
(2012-05)
Several studies have shown concern over nitrate and nitrite contamination of prepared infant formula used by infants less than six months old, as it may lead to methemoglobinemia and death. One possible source of contamination ...
