Integrating ethics into the chemical engineering curriculum: The Qatar University experience
(2013 , Conference Paper)
Qatar is growing at an unprecedented rate due to the utilization of its vast gas reserves. The country's wealth stems from oil, gas and petrochemical industries. Engineers are in high demand in all specializations and Qatar ...
Nematic opto-mechanical actuators for the fabrication of refreshable tactile systems
(2013 , Conference Paper)
Nematic elastomers are promising materials for the fabrication of actuators due to their ability to reversibly contract and expand during phase transitions triggered by external stimuli. We present a refreshable tactile ...
Numerical simulation of thermal buoyant wall jets
(2013 , Conference Paper)
The main focus of this study is on the near field flow and mixing characteristics of the thermal
wall jets. A numerical study of the buoyant wall jets discharged from submerged outfalls from cooling
systems of power ...
An accurate finite volume method using fourth order Adams scheme on triangular grids for the Saint-Venant System
(2013 , Conference Paper)
In this study, a new finite volume method is developed for shallow water equations on a rotating
frame. Most upwind methods, which perform well for gravity waves, lead to large oscillations and/or
numerical damping for ...
Optimal performance of single-column chromatography and simulated moving bed processes for the separation of optical isomers
(2013 , Conference Paper)
Chromatography has been established as the method of choice for the separation and purification of optically pure drugs which has a market size of about 250 billion USD. Single column chromatography (SCC) is commonly used ...
