Viscous-Gravity spreading of oil on water
(
John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
, 2001 , Article)
Spreading of oil on calm water is analyzed for the second stage of spread, which is controlled by a balance between gravity and viscous forces. The analysis, using the integral boundary-layer method, agreed well with a ...
Monogenea of Arabian Gulf fishes. 3. Encotyllabe spari and E. kuwaitensis (Capsalidae) from Qatari waters
(
Instituto di Parassitologia Medica
, 2002 , Article)
Two species of monogenea of the subfamily Encotyllabinae, genus Encotyllabe were observed from Qatari fishes which collected between March and May, 2002 from 5 Khors of Qatari coastal line; Al-Odaid, al-Dhakhira, Ras Rakan, ...
Treatment of waters colored with methylene blue dye by vacuum membrane distillation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
Textile industries consume large amounts of water and generate highly dye-contaminated effluents. Textile wastewaters have to be treated in order to be recycled in the process or to meet legislative requirements before ...
Desalination using ambient air: simulation and energy optimization
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
This work applies to process design, simulation, analysis, and optimization to minimize the energy requirements for producing desalinated water using ambient air (humidification and dehumidification process). The only ...
Aquifer storage and recovery (ASR): A strategic cost-effective facility to balance water production and demand for Sharjah
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
Aquifer storage and recovery was evaluated as a strategic water storage facility and as a tool to reduce overallcost of water production. This work investigated the size, cost, and mode of operation required to run the ...
Homotopy analysis method for fractional IVPs
(
Elsevier
, 2007 , Article)
In this paper, the homotopy analysis method is applied to solve linear and nonlinear fractional initial-value problems (fIVPs). The fractional derivatives are described by Caputo’s sense. Exact and/or approximate analytical ...
Infrared Image Enhancement using H{infinity} Bounds for Surveillance Applications
(
IEEE
, 2008 , Article)
In this paper, two algorithms have been presented to enhance the infrared (IR) images. Using the autoregressive moving average model structure and Hinfin optimal bounds, the image pixels are mapped from the IR pixel space ...
Simulation of large capacity MSF brine circulation plants
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2006 , Article)
New multistage flashing desalination units (MSF) are being constructed with large capacity that may vary from 50,000 to 75,000 m3/d. This is almost 2–3 times the conventional unit capacity of 27,000–32,000 m3/d, which were ...
Complex-impedance response of an Ag/TeO2-V2O5/Ag structure
(
Elsevier
, 2009 , Article)
The ac conductivity of glass samples of composition 50 mol% TeO2 and 50 mol% V2O5 has been analyzed. The samples were prepared by the usual melt-quench method. The electrical conductance and capacitance were measured over ...
A simulated annealing technique for multi-objective simulation optimization
(
Elsevier
, 2009 , Article)
In this paper, we present a simulated annealing algorithm for solving multi-objective simulation optimization problems. The algorithm is based on the idea of simulated annealing with constant temperature, and uses a rule ...
