Piezoelectric Systems for Sheikh Zayed Road
(2014-07-22)UAE was ranked as 37 worldwide according to the amount of electricity consumption with an annual consumption of 70.58 billion KWh .The total cost of producing that amount of electricity has been estimated to be 11.33 billion ... -
Light Emitting Concrete (LEC)
(2014-07-22)Currently, the world recognizes concrete as just a dull, grey building material. However, concrete has the potential to cater to different functions as well. -
Integrating Wind Turbines in Skyscrapers
(2014-07-22)It is no secret that the world is suffering from an energy crisis as fossil fuels and natural resources are near depletion. Renewable source of energy have been receiving increased attention over recent years. -
Improved Sewage Treatment
(2014-07-22)The increasing population of recent decades and the development of industry has generated significant waste materials. Sewage is mainly a liquid waste containing some solids, produced by humans: feces, urine, laundry waste ... -
Harvesting Energy From Footsteps
(2014-07-22)The UAE is currently undergoing industrialization which increases demand for energy and thus increases the usage of fossil fuels to cover this increasing demand for energy. Fossil fuels are limited and gradually depleting, ... -

GCC Domestic Wastewater Treatment and Microbial Fuel Cells
(2014-07-22)Water resources are scarce across the gulf region, however water consumption is very high compared to other countries across the world. Also, waste-water production rate is increasing with the increasing water consumption ... -
Desalination Using Solar Ponds
(2014-07-22)The growing demand of freshwater is placing huge pressure on existing supplies. Seawater is a vast source to satisfy this demand. However, seawater cannot be directly consumed and therefore, desalination of seawater is a ... -
Public Transportation Buses Powered By Cooking Oil
(2014-07-22)Greenhouse gases are in a continuous rise and are destroying the environment and public transportation buses contribute dramatically and are in an interrupted increase. Moreover, the world trend has been moving towards a ... -
Advanced Engineering Building at AUS
(2014-07-22)The AUS engineering buildings lack the needed interactive technology systems. These buildings consume huge amounts of non-renewable energy. Classes can hardly accommodate the present number of students. The number of ... -
Waste Water Treatment in the UAE
(2014-07-22)The UAE has scarce water resources and depends heavily on groundwater and desalinated water as its main resources for domestic, commercial and industrial use. The systems that retrieve water from these resources are ... -
The Use of Reverse Osmosis in Water Injection Processes
(2014-07-22)In the petroleum industry, pressurized water injection processes are used to enhance the oil recovery process . By injecting water into the reservoir, any remaining oil is flushed out. Pressurized water injection requires ... -
Smart Grid Application for AUS
(2014-07-22)Traditional existing electric grid technologies are no longer supporting the demands of the constantly growing population efficiently which results in power outages. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, ... -
Design of Airfoils for Wind Turbine Rotors
(2014-07-22)The turbine is a machine which converts rotational energy into usable work or usable energy. This change is initiated through mechanical gearing or because of electromagnetic induction, which results in electricity. There ... -
Smart Solar Roads
(2014-07-22)The UAE is ranked as the seventh biggest per person consumer of energy .The UAE plans to produce 50 Mega Watt of electricity from sustainable sources. Smart solar roads are made of solar panels and a rechargeable battery ... -
Hybrid Electric Vehicles
(2014-01-19)The problems related to the generation of electricity to fuel vehicles are three-fold. Firstly, conventional vehicles are major contributors to pollution due to the combustion of petroleum which is leading to the depletion ... -
DEFC and Panicum Virgatum to Power the Future
(2014-01-19)Many rely on fossil fuels as a primary source of energy to satisfy everyday needs of transportation and electricity. Within 45 years we will be facing a shortage of current fossil fuels thus research is being carried out ... -
Solar Powered Building with Dynamic Shading System
(2014-01-19)The design and architecture of the International Royal Hotel (IRH) complies with the code of green building as the hotel does not depend solely on non-renewable energy sources. Moreover, the IRH's design is the most efficient ... -
Green and Smart Buildings
(2014-01-19)The project talks about ways that can be implemented in buildings to make them green and smart. The climate of the UAE is the climate that the project bases its research on. The solutions provided were chosen to be up to ... -
Clean Coal Power Plants
(2014-01-19)It talks about diversifying sources of energy in the Gulf region rather than depending on one or two sources (gas and fuel). We are planning to implement clean coal technology as another source of energy. This power plant ...
