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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Scalar dissipation rate statistics in turbulent flows using Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence measurements
(
Elsevier
, 2012 , Article)
A shearless mixing layer with isotropic decaying turbulence has been examined with a turbulent axisymmetric opposed-jet flow and a plume in pipe flow. The study has been carried out experimentally with Planar Laser Induced ...
Autoignition of n-heptane in a turbulent co-flowing jet
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
N-heptane autoignition in turbulent co-flowing jets with preheated air is studied using the one-dimensional turbulence (ODT) model. The simulations are designed to investigate the effects of molecular and turbulent transports ...
Safety experiments for small robots investigating the potential of soft materials in mitigating the harm to the head due to impacts
(
springer link
, 2019 , Article)
There is a growing interest in social robots to be considered in the therapy of children with autism due to their effectiveness in improving the outcomes. However, children on the spectrum exhibit challenging behaviors ...
Joint replenishment model for multiple products with substitution
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
We extend the classical economic order quantity model to address the joint replenishment of multiple products under substitution. The proposed model optimizes ordering quantities for each product under substitution effects ...
Recycling low grade waste heat to electricity
(
Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Most mining and metallurgical industries produce relatively large quantities of low grade waste heat which they vent, for the most part, to the environment. To date, little is being done to recover some of this heat and ...
