Optimal design of a hybrid solar-wind power to drive a small-size reverse osmosis desalination plant
(2013)
Providing clean water to small communities using renewable energy (RE) has long posed as a humanitarian challenge. Reverse osmosis (RO) desalination has been proven as a mature technology for supplying fresh water for ...
Mathematical Modeling and Experimental Breakthrough Curves of Carbon Dioxide Adsorption on Metal Organic Framework CPM-5
(ACS, 2013-07)
It is essential to capture carbon dioxide from flue gas because it is considered one of the main causes of global warming. Several materials and different methods have been reported for CO2 capturing including adsorption ...
A new method to improve the lifetime stability of small molecule bilayer heterojunction organic solar cells
(2013-02)
Unencapsulated small molecular solar cells with a layer of carboxylated copper phthalocyanine (CuPc⁎) introduced between the donor copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and acceptor 3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic dianhydride ...
Cost-benefit analysis for the installation of cogeneration CSP technology in Cyprus
(2013-12)
The purpose of this work is to investigate whether the installation of an innovative cogeneration of electricity and desalinated water (DSW) with concentrated solar power (CSP) technology in Cyprus is economically feasible. ...
Removal of Cr(VI) from Aqueous Environments Using Micelle-Clay Adsorption
(2013-12)
Removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions under different conditions was investigated using either clay (montmorillonite) or micelle-clay complex, the last obtained by adsorbing critical micelle concentration of ...
Foreign Aid and the Quest for Poverty Reduction: Is Aid to Agriculture Effective?
(2013-09)
Development statistics estimate that three quarters of the poor live in rural areas and most of them depend on agriculture and related activities for their livelihood. Consequently, research focusing on economic growth and ...
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, ...
Investigation on Concrete Compressive Strength Mixed with Sand Contaminated by Crude Oil
(Elsevier, 2013-10)
The leak of oil products due to the huge demand would result in contaminating the sand that might be used in the concrete industry. This paper experimentally investigates the effect of contaminated sand with kerosene and ...
Performance of Structures Exposed to Extreme High Temperature - An Overview
(2013-09)
Strength, durability and stability are the main criteria for material selection and design in the construction industry. Consequently, development and enhancement of construction materials is always an active and attractive ...
Performance assessment of an integrated absorption cooling-hydrogen liquefaction system using geothermal energy
(2013)
An integrated geothermal based triple effect absorption cooling and Linde-Hampson system for hydrogen gas liquefaction is proposed and analysed thermodynamically. The effect of various operating conditions and parameters ...
