(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
The main objectives of this paper are to: identify key performance indicators (KPIs) related to intelligent buildings (economical, environmental, reliability, and quality), and; propose a simulation framework for evaluation ...
Evaluation of thermal comfort and cooling performance of residential buildings in arid climates
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, a parametric study on the thermal comfort and cooling performance of residential buildings is reported. The study was carried out in the hot arid climatic conditions of Qatar. The influence of diurnal variation ...
Centrifugal Compressor Spiral Dry Gas Seal Simulation Working at Reverse Rotation
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Unidirectional dry gas seal may experiences reverse rotation when equipped in a centrifugal compressor. This paper describes how the reverse rotation effects on the spiral unidirectional dry gas seal performance and pressure ...

(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
The three dimensional simulation for dry gas seal with constant depth spiral grooves and with different taper grooves is done using ANSYS FLUENT CFD code. Grid independence study and code validation are done with experimental ...
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 ...
