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 ...
A Measure of Capacity Contribution of Static Mono-Si Photovoltaic Systems
(2013-05)
Photovoltaic (PV) systems generate electricity in the daytime when system demand is generally moderate to high. For Mediterranean countries, there is also seasonal coincidence of high system demand and high PV load factors. ...
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, ...
Design and simulation of a UOIT copper-chlorine cycle for hydrogen production
(Wiley, 2013-08)
A design and simulation study of the four-step copper–chlorine (Cu–Cl) cycle using Aspen Plus software (Aspen Technology Inc., Cambridge, MA)is reported. The simulation consists of four main sections: hydrolysis, ...
Efficiency of membrane technology, activated charcoal, and a micelle-clay complex for removal of the acidic pharmaceutical mefenamic acid.
(2013-08)
The efficiency of sequential advanced membrane technology wastewater treatment plant towards removal of a widely used non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) mefenamic acid was investigated. The sequential system included ...
A Framework for Abu Dhabi Police Traffic Monitoring and Response System
(2013-06)
Abstract—The city of Abu Dhabi has witnessed a major growth in its population over the past two decades. This growth has resulted in a significant increase in the number of vehicles in the city. Abu Dhabi Police Department ...
Upscaling of an Innovative Cogeneration CSP System
(2013)
An upscaling of an innovative concentrated solar power (CSP) technology for the cogeneration of electricity and desalinated water (CSP-DSW) to be integrated into the Cyprus power generation system is carried out. Further, ...
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 ...
Survival Misperceptions, Time Inconsistency, and Implications for Life-cycle Saving and Welfare
(Elsevier, 2013-04)
Some empirical studies firmly reveal that people tend to form overly pessimistic survival expectations for relatively less distant ages and overly optimistic survival expectations for relatively more distant ages. We ...
Performance analysis and evaluation of a triple-effect ammonia-water absorption-refrigeration system
(Wiley, 2013-01)
In this paper, a comprehensive thermodynamic analysis of the triple-effect absorption-refrigeration system using ammonia-water solution is carried out in order to investigate the effect of different operating conditions ...
