Impact of Draw Solution Concentration on Forward Osmosis Process: A Simulation Study
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
In this study, a simulation model was used to evaluate the performance of forward
osmosis process. A solution of low salinity was used as the feed solution in forward
osmosis to dilute saline solution (i.e. draw solution) ...
Predicted and Back-calculated Coefficients of Permeability of Randomly Fractured Rock Mass: A Case Study
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents the discrepancy between the coefficients of permeability measured
for randomly fractured limestone using field falling-head tests and that back-calculated
for the same rock mass based on the actual ...
Long-Term Cost Performance of Corrosion-Resistant Reinforcements in Structural Concrete
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Corrosion, which leads to the premature deterioration of reinforced concrete (RC)
structures, is increasingly an issue of global concern. Accordingly, corrosion-resistant
materials have emerged as alternative reinforcement ...
Effect of Alkaline Activators on the Mechanical Properties of Geopolymer Mortar
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
"Geopolymerization is a process where silica and alumina rich source materials turn
into excellent binding materials by the aid of alkali solutions. Materials such as fly ash
are by-products in energy power plants. Fly ...
