Treatment of waters colored with methylene blue dye by vacuum membrane distillation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
Textile industries consume large amounts of water and generate highly dye-contaminated effluents. Textile wastewaters have to be treated in order to be recycled in the process or to meet legislative requirements before ...
Neural network model-based predictive control of liquid–liquid extraction contactors
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2004 , Article)
The inherent complex nonlinear dynamic characteristics and time varying transients of the liquid–liquid extraction process draw the attention to the application of nonlinear control techniques. In this work, neural ...
Modeling, simulation and control of a scheibel liquid–liquid contactor: Part 1. Dynamic analysis and system identification
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
The liquid–liquid extraction process is well-known for its complexity and often entails intensive modeling and computational efforts to simulate its dynamic behaviour. However, rigorous mathematical models are usually ...
Long-term electric peak load forecasting for power system planning: A comparative study
(
King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals
, 2004 , Article)
A comparative study between two static estimation algorithms, namely least error squares (LES) and least absolute value (LAV) algorithm was presented. The proposed algorithm used the past history data for the load and the ...
A simplified method for calculating saturated liquid densities
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
A simplification for the Nasrifar–Moshfeghian (NM) liquid density correlation has been developed. A replacement for the Mathias and Copeman temperature-dependent term with the original Soave–Redlich–Kwong equation of state ...
Stability of membrane fouling particles under perikinetic and orthokinetic flow conditions
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
Stability of fouling particles against Brownian motion (perikinetic) and simple shear flow (orthokinetic) was investigated. The effect of the various parameters such as particle radius, Hamaker constant, salt (1-1 type) ...
Modeling, simulation and control of a scheibel liquid–liquid contactor: Part 2. Model-based control synthesis and design
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
This study describes an application of model-based control techniques to a liquid–liquid extraction process. The control design is based on a reduced order model of the process obtained by system identification. A multi-loop ...
Integrating hybrid systems with existing thermal desalinationplants
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
In Gulf countries, most power plants are co-generation power desalting plants (CPDP) that generate electric energy and also produce fresh water through the desalination of seawater. This paper provides detailed technical ...
Aquifer storage and recovery (ASR): A strategic cost-effective facility to balance water production and demand for Sharjah
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
Aquifer storage and recovery was evaluated as a strategic water storage facility and as a tool to reduce overallcost of water production. This work investigated the size, cost, and mode of operation required to run the ...
Desalination using ambient air: simulation and energy optimization
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
This work applies to process design, simulation, analysis, and optimization to minimize the energy requirements for producing desalinated water using ambient air (humidification and dehumidification process). The only ...
