Smart Home Area Networks Protocols within the Smart Grid Context
(2014-09)
The Internet of things (IoT) applications are becoming one of the emerging smart grid enabling technologies. Smart home appliances are one the beneficiary of such applications. Machine-to-Machine and Man-to-Machine are the ...
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 ...
A hybrid model for the optimum integration of renewable technologies in power generation systems
(2011-02)
The main purpose of this work is to assess the unavoidable increase in the cost of electricity of a generation system by the integration of the necessary renewable energy sources for power generation (RES-E) technologies ...
Investigating the use of green design parameters in UAE construction projects
(2015)
Construction practices tend to have an adverse impact on the environment through their contribution to CO2 emission, increased waste and energy consumption. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has launched many initiatives to ...
A localized navigation algorithm for Radiation Evasion for nuclear facilities. Part II: Optimizing the "Nearest Exit" Criterion
(2013-06)
In this extension from part I ( Khasawneh et al., in press), we modify the navigation algorithm which was presented with the objective of optimizing the “Radiation Evasion” Criterion so that navigation would optimize the ...
Investigation of an integrated hydrogen production system based on nuclear and renewable energy sources: a new approach for sustainable hydrogen production via copper-chlorine thermochemical cycles
(2011-10)
Hydrogen production via thermochemical water decomposition is a potential process for direct utilization of nuclear thermal energy to increase efficiency and thereby facilitate energy savings. Thermochemical water splitting ...
CO2 capture with a novel solid fluidizable sorbent: Thermodynamics and Temperature Programmed Carbonation-Decarbonation
(2013)
Temperature Programmed Carbonation developed using a temperature programmed fixed bed unit. Sorbents are kept in contact with a gas stream containing a 10% CO2 mole fraction, and are subjected to a 5 C/min temperature ramp. ...
Benthic development on large-scale engineered reefs: a comparison of communities among breakwaters of different age and natural reefs
(2011-02)
Breakwaters represent large-scale engineered artificial reefs that can develop diverse and abundant communities and are likely to play an increasing role in marine ecosystems as human populations grow in coastal urban ...
An exergy-cost-energy-mass analysis of a hybrid copper-chlorine thermochemical cycle for hydrogen production
(2010-05)
An exergoeconomic assessment using exergy-cost-energy-mass (EXCEM) analysis is reported of a copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) thermochemical water splitting cycle for hydrogen production. The quantitative relation is identified ...
Concentrated photovoltaic thermal (CPVT) solar collector systems: Part I - Fundamentals, design considerations and current technologies
(2015-10)
Concentrated photovoltaic thermal (CPVT) solar collectors have been gaining ever-increasing attention from the scientific community and industrial developers due to their promising potential to pave the way for the penetration ...
