Study of A Time Dependent Double -Diffusive Salinity Problem
( Qatar University , 1989 , Article)The time-dependent, double diffusive stability problem for a horizontal layer of salty water bounded by two rigid isothermal surfaces is analyzed using a linear perturbation technique. Initially, the layer is subjected to ... -
Performance of Greenhouses in The Arabian Gulf
( Qatar University , 1990 , Article)This work is devoted to the gaining of insight into the operation of environmentally controlled greenhouse in hot and humid climates. Field data inside and outside the greenhouse, namely: solar radiation, dry and wet bulb ... -
Solidification Of Steel Billets In Continuous Casting
( Qatar University , 1991 , Article)For practical operation, it is necessary to know how the solidification of liquid steel progresses i.e. when and where a strand has completely solidified. Decisions on, the casting speed, the spray water flow rates and ... -
Performance Evaluation Of A Msf Desalination Plant In Qatar
( Qatar University , 1992 , Article)In this paper, an assessment of the performance of one of the multistage flash (MSF) desalination units operating in conjunction with the gas-turbine cogenera-tion power plant in Qatar is carried out under different operating ... -
The use of Robot Redundancy in Contour Path Operations for Selected Manufacturing Applications
( IEEE , 1992 , Conference Paper)Redundant robots have many applications and use in path synthesis for crowded workspace and in minimum time control path tracking problems. In selected manufacturing applications - such as spray painting, continuous welding, ... -

Economic And Thermal Performance Of Thermostone In Qatar
( Qatar University , 1996 , Article)This paper is concerned with the performance characteristics of thermostone as a building material, and their comparison with those of hollow concrete blocks. Carrier Advanced Load Program (E20-II) was used to estimate the ... -
Experimental study of exhaust emissions and performance of a dual fuel IDI diesel engine
(1999 , Conference Paper)Dual fuel engines of the compression ignition type provide an alternative approach for I.C. engines to improve economy, reduce exhaust emissions and achieve a greater power. The present contribution is an experimental ... -
Abnormal release of toxic gases from natural gas processing plants
( American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) , 2001 , Conference Paper)Qatar, one of the Arabian Gulf States, possesses one of the world's largest non-associated gas fields. Most of the country's development plans are based on the preparation of natural gas for export and local use. Under ... -
Highly accurate solutions of the bifurcation structure of mixed-convection heat transfer using spectral method
( John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , 2002 , Article)This paper is concerned with producing highly accurate solution and bifurcation structure using the pseudo-spectral method for the two-dimensional pressure-driven flow through a horizontal duct of a square cross-section ... -
Baseline formation for damage diagnosis in one dimensional-beam problems
(2002 , Conference Paper)A brief account of the theories behind modal analysis, dimensional analysis, the stereolithography process and the strain energy damage detection method is presented. An integrated system of those techniques is formulated ... -
Risk assessment of accidental spills of toxic and flammable liquids on land
( Emerald Publishing , 2004 , Master Thesis)The main objective of this paper is the assessment of the environmental impact due to accidental spills of toxic and flammable liquids on land. Different case studies of possible accidents in the State of Qatar were ... -
Environmental impact of fuel spills on land
(2006 , Conference Paper)This study considers the toxicity and flammability of emitted fuel vapor from un-ignited pools of spilled chemicals on land. It also estimates the thermal radiation levels emitted from such pools in case they catch fire. ... -
