Potential of ground source heat pump systems in cooling-dominated environments: Residential buildings
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
For countries in the Arabian Peninsula, air conditioning (A/C) systems account for 65% of the energy consumption, all of which comes from fossil fuel. Given the preparation for the 2022 World Cup, which will be held in ...
Comparison between different measures to reduce cooling requirements of residential building in cooling-dominated environment
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
In hot climate region like Arabian Peninsula, air conditioning systems are the major energy consumer. Therefore, there are compelling reasons to study the energy requirements in buildings sector to reduce the energy ...
A combined thermo-mechanical refrigeration system with isobaric expander-compressor unit powered by low grade heat – Design and analysis
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Refrigeration and air conditioning systems consume about 17% of the world-wide electricity and their conventional refrigerants cause ozone depletion and global warming. In this study a novel thermo-mechanical refrigeration ...
Turbulence effects on the autoignition of DME in a turbulent co-flowing jet
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Dimethyl ether (DME) autoignition in turbulent co-flowing jets with preheated air is studied using the one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model. We investigate the effects of molecular and turbulent transport on the autoignition ...
Analysis of the effect of global climate change on ground source heat pump systems in different climate categories
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
Ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems exhibit high thermal performance. Consequently, they are increasingly used to heat and cool buildings. The thermal performance of GSHP systems strongly depends on the operation ground ...
Dynamic Response of a Rotating Assembly under the Coupled Effects of Misalignment and Imbalance
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2020 , Article)
In rotating machinery, the second most common fault after imbalance is misalignment. Misalignment can have a severe impact on equipment and may reduce the machine's lifetime considerably. In this paper, the simultaneous ...
3D numerical modelling and analysis of a magnetorheological elastomer (MRE)
(
EXTRICA
, 2020 , Article)
Magneto rheological elastomer (MRE) is a smart material consists of a polymer matrix embedded micro/nano-sized magnetic particles. Its mechanical properties are altered by external magnetic fields. In this article, a ...
Reliability-based topology optimization using inverse optimum safety factor approaches
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
The Deterministic Topology Optimization (DTO) model generates a single solution for a given design space, while the Reliability-Based Topology Optimization (RBTO) model provides several reliability-based topology layouts ...
Wave propagation in double helical rods
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
The propagation of waves in helical rods has been studied extensively. However, studying the wave propagation in double helical rods have received less attention although this can be useful in multiple fields of science ...
Profitability, reliability and condition based monitoring of LNG floating platforms: A review
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The efficiency and profitability of Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading platform (FPSO) terminals depends on various factors such as LNG liquefaction process type, system reliability and maintenance approach. This ...
