Combustion Characteristics and Emissions of a Direct-Injection Diesel Engine Fueled with GTL Fuel Blends
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Gas to Liquids (GTL) is one of clean alternative fuels which loosely defined terms that is generally used to describe the chemical conversion of natural gas to some type of liquid products. As such, it excludes the production ...
Locations of Temporary Distribution Facilities for Emergency Response Planning
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
Resource planning in emergency response phase is challenging primarily because the resources have to be delivered to the affected regions in a timely manner and in right quantities. Disasters such as the hurricanes, epidemics ...
