Electrode Surface Roughness Effect on the Breakdown Characteristics of Compressed Gas Cable
(
Qatar University
, 1988 , Article)
The influence of electrode surface roughness on the breakdown field strength in SFu gas and mixtures is investigated. A coaxial electrode configuration is used to represent a practical gas insulated cable.
With the use ...
The Potential of The Co-Rotating Compressor in Gas Turbine Applications
(
Qatar University
, 1988 , Article)
The concept of co-rotating axial compressor was conceived primarily as a means of overcoming the inherent rotational speed mismatch between a fan and its driving turbine in moderate to high bypass ratio turbo-fan engines. ...
Energy Study of A Gas-Fired Turbo-Generator
(
Qatar University
, 1988 , Article)
As far as energy utilization is concerned, the performance of a gas turbine-generator combination, depends on some key factors among which are; engine features, methods of utilizing heat energy associated with exhaust ...
On the Design of Bit-Slice Processors
(
Qatar University
, 1988 , Article)
In the past decade, fixed instruction microprocessors have evolved from 4 bits to 32 bits. Their compact design and relative low cost have made them very popular with design engineers. Their use extends into a lot of ...
Performance Evaluation of A Class of Adaptive Bifurcated Routing Algorithms
(
Qatar University
, 1988 , Article)
With the cost of computation decreasing, packet-switched computer communication networks are becoming increasingly cost effective. In this paper a class of bifurcated routing algorithms is considered. One of the algorithms ...
Solar Water Pumping — An Analytical Overview
(
Qatar University
, 1988 , Article)
Two basic thermodynamic conversion techniques of solar water pumping are recognized. In the first technique, a high internal energy fluid heated in a solar collector is used to power a conventional heat engine which drives ...
Designing Air Intake Ducts for High Speed Flight
(
Qatar University
, 1988 , Article)
A proven duct flow model is used to examine the influence of the intake duct geometric and inlet flow parameters on the pressure recovery performance of intake ducts for high speed flight. The geometric parameters include: ...
Design of Smoke Generator for Flow Visualisation
(
Qatar University
, 1988 , Article)
Described in this paper is an alternative method for smoke generation for flow visualisation in low speed (subsonic) wind tunnel work. This method makes use of the smoke generating characteristics of Ammonia and Sulphur ...
Material Behaviour Under Corrosive Environment — Guide For Material Selection
(
Qatar University
, 1988 , Article)
In this paper, the behaviour of engineering materials as influenced by fluid velocity, operating temperature, humidity and duration of exposure to chemical and/or electro-chemical action is carefully studied, corrosive ...
A Compressive Strength Criterion for Anisotropic Rock Materials
(
Qatar University
, 1988 , Article)
This paper puts forward a general compressive strength criterion for anisotropic rock materials under multiaxial state of stress. The proposed criterion, is a generalization of the Von Mises yield criterion for ductile ...
