Efficient visual mixture design of experiments using property clustering techniques
(2009 , Article)
Mixture design is a design of experiments (DOE) tool used to determine the combination of chemical constitutents that deliver a desired response (or property) using a minimum number of experimental runs. While the approach ...
Integrating hybrid systems with existing thermal desalinationplants
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
In Gulf countries, most power plants are co-generation power desalting plants (CPDP) that generate electric energy and also produce fresh water through the desalination of seawater. This paper provides detailed technical ...
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 ...
Dynamic risk assessment using failure assessment and Bayesian theory
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2009 , Article)
To ensure the safety of a process system, engineers use different methods to identify the potential hazards that may cause severe consequences. One of the most popular methods used is quantitative risk assessment (QRA) ...
Modeling, simulation and control of a scheibel liquid–liquid contactor: Part 2. Model-based control synthesis and design
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
This study describes an application of model-based control techniques to a liquid–liquid extraction process. The control design is based on a reduced order model of the process obtained by system identification. A multi-loop ...
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 ...
Simulation and economic evaluation of natural gas hydrates [NGH] as an alternative to liquefied natural gas [LNG]
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2005 , Article)
Despite the fact that relatively little is known about the ultimate resource potential of natural gas hydrates, it is certain that gas hydrates are a vast storehouse of natural gas and significant technical challenges need ...
Stability of membrane fouling particles under perikinetic and orthokinetic flow conditions
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
Stability of fouling particles against Brownian motion (perikinetic) and simple shear flow (orthokinetic) was investigated. The effect of the various parameters such as particle radius, Hamaker constant, salt (1-1 type) ...
Representation of Adsorption Data for the Isopropanol-Water System using Neural Network Techniques
(
WILEY-VCH Verlag
, 2005 , Article)
Molecular sieves and palm stone, a newly developed bio-based adsorbent, were used to break an azeotropic isopropanol-water system via an adsorptive distillation process. Equilibrium data at different inlet water contents ...
Influence of adhesive thickness and filler content on the mechanical performance of aluminum single-lap joints bonded with aluminum powder filled epoxy adhesive
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2007 , Article)
The objective of this study was to develop information on the influence of adhesive thickness and aluminum filler content on the mechanical performance of aluminum joints bonded by aluminum powder filled epoxy. The adhesive ...
