Development of novel thin film composite reverse osmosis membranes for desalination
(
American Institute of Physics Inc.
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Microporous Polyetherimide (PEI) membranes were prepared by wet phase inversion at different temperatures. The thin film composites (TFC) of polyamide on microporous PEI were prepared using meta-Phenylenediamine (MPD) and ...
Analyzing the Behavior of Classical Functionally Graded Coated Beam
(
EDP Sciences
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
The governing equation of a classical rectangular coated beam made of two homogeneous layers at top ceramic coated layer and bottom metal layer and also single Functionally Graded Material (FGM) as a sub coated layer ...
Intelligent glove for suppression of resting tremor in Parkinson’s disease
(
JVE International
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
One of the significant symptoms in Parkinson’s disease is resting tremor. Resting tremor occurs when the muscle is relaxed, causing the limb to shake. Rhythmic muscle movement of the patients commonly happens within the ...
A Methodology for daylight optimisation of high-rise buildings in the dense urban district using overhang length and glazing type variables with surrogate modelling
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Urbanization and population growth lead to the construction of higher buildings in the 21st century. This causes an increment on energy consumption as the amount of constructed floor areas is rising steadily. Integrating ...
NAVIGATION IN INDOOR VOXEL MODELS
(
Copernicus GmbH
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
The paper proposes to use voxel models of building interiors to perform indoor navigation. The algorithms can be purely geometrical, not relying on semantic information about different building elements, such as floors, ...
Mathematical model for thin-walled corrugated tube under axial compression
(
EDP Sciences
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this research, theoretical investigation of corrugated aluminum tubes is performed to predicting the energy absorption characteristics. Aim to deform plastic tubes in predetermined intervals, corrugations are introduced ...
Ethanol dehydrogenation mechanism on cuni catalysts for hydrogen production
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Ethanol dehydrogenation mechanism was investigated over catalysts containing Cu and Ni metals prepared by solution combustion synthesis. In situ DRIFTS studies were conducted on individual metals (Cu and Ni) as well as on ...
Thermochemical copper Oxide - Copper sulfate water splitting cycle for solar hydrogen production
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, the solar thermochemical copper oxide - copper sulfate (CO-CS) water splitting cycle is thermodynamically investigated. CO-CS cycle consists of two steps: first step - exothermic oxidation of CuO via water ...
The attributes of future 2030 engineers in Qatar for innovation and knowledge based economy
(
American Society for Engineering Education
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Recent studies emphasize the needs of a wider set of skills engineers require than ever thought. These studies continue to emphasize that technical content knowledge and competencies are essential for any engineer; however, ...
Potential for green algae spirulina to capture carbon dioxide from gas stream
(
TechConnect
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This study evaluated the use of green algae Spirulina microalgae as a C02 capturing technology at different temperatures. The growth of Spirulina at 25 and 30◦C were studied in synthetic wastewater and its performance in ...
