Design and numerical study of the integration of omnidirectional shroud with vertical axis wind turbine
(
Institution of Engineering and Technology
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
The integration of a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) with the novel omni-directional shroud is proposed. It consists of the upper wall, lower wall and an array of 5 guide-vanes. Wind from all directions is collected ...
Passive pre-cooling potential for reducing building air-conditioning loads in hot climates
(
American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
A major source of energy consumption in the building sector is the extensive use of Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems to meet the rising demands for indoor comfort. Advancements in reducing cooling ...
Solar Energy For More Eco-friendly Mosque In Qatar
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
There is mounting evidence that the global warming and, consequently, the climate changes are anthropogenic and attributed to fossil fuel consumption. Therefore, it is mandatory to find alternative solutions that can replace ...
A Multi-echelon Network Distribution Model For Emergency Resource Planning
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Resource planning in emergency management is a challenging task as it involves disaster situations where the demands are rapidly increasing and the resources are scarce. Conventional planning involves a centralized network ...
Advanced Hard Ctings: Towards A Whole New World
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES: Improving materials properties is one of the biggest scientific issues of all the times. When it becomes impossible to further manipulate the raw material, one feasible way to push its properties ...
Optimizing multi-objective dynamic facility location decisions within green distribution network design
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Despite the surge of sustainable economic development which inspires corporations to optimize investment on environmental-friendly infrastructural facilities, limited pragmatic evidences are observed in product-service ...
Facility location decisions within integrated forward/reverse logistics under uncertainty
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, a stochastic mixed integer linear programming (SMILP) model is proposed to optimize the location and size of facilities and service centres in integrated forward and reverse streams under uncertainty. The ...
System approach for building energy conservation
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Energy use in residential and commercial buildings and towers represents more than 30% of energy consumption. The increase in number of buildings and towers in most of the major cities worldwide led to several initiatives ...
Computational Simulation Of Organic Rankine Cycle Retrofitted To Petroleum Well
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Geothermal refers to existing heat energy in deep rock and sedimentary basins. Unlike other types of renewable energy resources, geothermal energy provides a stable source of energy as it can be exploited regardless of ...
Numerical simulation of using combined active and passive stall control techniques in centrifugal compressors
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
This study presents a numerical simulation of stall control by using the casing treatment method which represents the passive control technique and also by using the air injection method which represents the active control ...
