Multiple-runway aircraft sequencing problems using mixed-integer programming
(
Institute of Industrial Engineers
, 2012 , Conference Paper)
We examine aircraft sequencing problems over multiple runways, under mixed mode operations, with the objective of minimizing the total weighted tardiness of aircraft landings and departures. A mixed-integer programming ...
Experimental Investigation and Uncertainty Prediction of the Load-Carrying Capacity of Composite Double Hat for Lattice Core Sandwich Panels Using Artificial Neural Network
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Carbon fiber reinforced composites are promising candidates for building advanced multifunctional structures with superior properties that are suitable for the next generation of automotive and aircraft applications. This ...
Optimized intake manifold designs and their effects on the operation and emissions of a gas-to-liquid diesel engine
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Two simultaneous strategies have been used in this work to reduce the diesel engine emissions. First, using novel manifold designs to generate strong turbulence and improve the fuel-air mixing inside the cylinder. The ...
Soil-concrete interface properties subjected to temperature changes and cycles using direct shear tests
(
American Society of Civil Engineers Library (ASCE Library)
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
Geothermal foundations (energy piles) combine the structural function of deep foundations with the ground source heat exchangers to transfer geothermal energy to superstructures. The intermittent operation of the geothermal ...
Potential of geothermal energy for electricity generation in Qatar
(
Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
There is general acceptance that climate change, which is the most important challenge facing humanity, is anthropogenic and attributed to fossil fuel consumption. Therefore, improving the performance of our existing energy ...
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 ...
Geothermal energy extraction from decommissioned petroleum wells
(
International Society for Rock Mechanics
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Abandoned wells impose enduring liabilities to petroleum companies and/or governments. However, the depth and abundance of abandoned petroleum wells make them an economically attractive source of geothermal energy. Geothermal ...
A novel technique for extraction of geothermal energy from abandoned oil wells
(2012 , Conference Paper)
This paper investigates the possibility of design and construction of a geothermal heat exchanger suitable for installation in abandoned oil wells. Based on the in-situ data collected, an amenable heat transfer numerical ...
EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION AND HEAT TRANSFER ANALYSIS OF INNOVATIVE THERMAL MECHANICAL REFRIGERATION SYSTEM COMPARED TO ELECTRIC COMPRESSOR
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2022 , Conference Paper)
The current electric refrigeration and air condition systems are major causes for ozone depletion and global warming. These systems consume large percent of the worldwide gross production of electricity (around 17%). ...
Heat transfer analysis of regenerative thermo-mechanical refrigeration system
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Refrigeration systems contribute to the critical environmental concerns including global warming and ozone depletion. It is necessary to develop new systems that use renewable energy resources and waste heat to perform the ...
