There is a correlation between mobility ratio and oil recovery by water displacement in homogeneous and heterogeneous reservoirs. Because of this correlation, it is essential to develop a mobility control process which ...

This paper describes a concurrent method to speed up the convergence of the QIOM (Cubic Interpolation Optimization Method) to obtain the global minima for any nonlinear continuous function. The QIOM is a naturally slow, ...

The concept of using a solar pond to provide air conditioning for a typical small family Qatari house is developed. Though the idea seems appealing for a number of reasons, the design study shows it to he technically ...

The present study aimed at the possibility of using the carbide lime waste as an alternative material to the conventional lime used for cement-lime mortar. The waste is a by-product obtained in the generation of acetylene ...

This work presents an analysis for the creep buckling problem of geometrically imperfect rectangular flat plates under biaxial compression with simple support boundary conditions. The analysis is based on a non-dimensional ...

Two main simulation methodologies namely, the network-based simulation and the graphical simulation technique are being used in the construction industry. While the network-based simulation technique, which was originally ...

The ability of three equations of state (EOS) for calculating the thermodynamic properties of refrigerants has been studied for 35 pure component refrigerants. Three equations of state studied were the Soave-Redlich-Kwong ...

This paper proposes clock synchronization algorithms based on the idea in which randomly chosen m out of the total N processors cooperate to perform the clock adjustment of all processors in a distributed system. Selection ...

A method is presented to calculate unsteady state two phase flow in a gas-liquid line based on a quasi-steady state approach. A computer program for numerical solution of this method was prepared. Results of calculations ...

Compressive strength of concrete is widely accepted as a characteristic property indicating and representing its quality. The accuracy of both ultrasonic and mechanical strength is discussed and the advantages of ultrasonic ...
