Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Green House Gases (GHG) Emissions from Oil Production Facilities at Northern Kuwait Oilfields: Simulated ResultsKhaireyah Kh. AL-Hamad, V. Nassehi, A.R. KhanAir pollution and its effects on the ecosystem has been a source of concern for many environmental pollution organizations in the world. In particular climatologists who are not directly involved in petroleum industry sometimes express concerns about the environmental impacts of gaseous emissions from flaring at various despised points. For environmental and resource conservation reasons, flaring should always be minimized … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,933 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUsing a Simulation Tool to Model the Ground Level Concentrations of Green House Gases Emitted by Flaring in Petroleum Production in Kuwait OilfieldsKhaireyah Kh. AL-Hamad, V. Nassehi, A.R. KhanAir pollution and its effects on the ecosystem has been a source of concern for many environmental pollution organizations in the world. In particular climatologists who are not directly involved in petroleum industry sometimes express concerns about the environmental impacts of gas emissions from flaring at well heads. For environmental and resource conservation reasons, flaring should always be minimized as … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,670 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPattern of Survival and Mortality of Mangrove Populations Grown at Al-Jubail Area (Saudi Arabia) of the Arabian GulfAkram Ali, Ahmed Alfarhan, Ernest Robinson, Ibrahim AldjainThe life table and fecundity schedule were produced for [Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh] populations of four habitat types at Al-Jubail area, KSA. These types are sand mounds, salt flats, shoreline and intertidal sites. Survivorship (lx) was least in sand mounds and similar in all other sites. Age-specific-mortality rates (qx) where parallel in the flower bud, flower, fruiting and seedling stages … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,868 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTotal Emissions from Flaring in Kuwait OilfieldsKhaireyah Kh. AL-Hamad, A. R. KhanKuwait is a major oil producing country and its economy directly depends on its export of crude and refined products. Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) is responsible for all exploration and production of crude oil in Kuwait. These activities result in the emission of gaseous pollutants to the atmosphere, particularly from the flaring of undesirable product and excess gases. For environmental … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2008 · 8,952 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Modelling of an Industrial Smelter Furnace and Converter Off-gas SystemHelen Shang, Megan Dillabough, Phillip Nelson, Bryan SaltIn smelters, metal ores or concentrates are smelted to reduce a metal oxide to a metal through a series of reactions and processes. In a smelting process, a large amount of off-gas emissions are often generated, which can cause serious environmental and plant hygiene problems if not properly treated. Off-gas systems extract and treat the off-gas emissions, and ensure that … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2008 · 7,158 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReservoir Oscillations with Through FlowA.A. KhanThe two-reservoir problem with through flow is a common feature in wastewater treatment plants. The start of the through flow may cause water surface oscillations in the reservoirs and velocity variations in the connecting pipe during the initial unsteady phase that may adversely affect the operation and under certain conditions may cause overtopping of the upstream reservoir. The classical solution … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,035 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnvironmental Issues in Jordan, Solutions and RecommendationsNidal A. Hadadin, Zeyad S. TarawnehJordan’s natural resources are limited to support population in a sustainable manner. However, its environment is exposed to a number of threats. In order to best explain Jordan’s environmental difficulties, it would be prudent to focus individually on each of these major concerns: water shortages, agriculture/land and air pollution. This study focuses on the environmental problems in Jordan and has … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 10,108 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Simulation of an Absorption Diffusion Solar Refrigeration UnitB. Chaouachi, S. GabsiThe purpose of this study was the design and the simulation of an absorption diffusion refrigerator using solar as source of energy, for domestic use. The design holds account about the climatic conditions and the unit cost due to technical constraints imposed by the technology of the various components of the installation such as the solar generator, the condenser, the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,680 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe 2D Eulerian Approach of Entrained Flow and Temperature in a Biomass Stratified Downdraft GasifierA. Rogel, Jasni AguillónThis paper describes a “1-D+2-D” numerical model used to simulate the gasification of pine wood pellets in a stratified downdraft gasifier whereby Eulerian conservation equations are solved for particle and gas phase components, velocities and specific enthalpies. The model takes into account the biomass particle process such as heating up, drying, primary pyrolysis of biomass, secondary pyrolysis of tar, homogeneous … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2006 · 7,257 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Environmental Non-Governmental Organizations in Natural Resources Management Extension (Case Study in Iran)Iraj M. Mohammadi, Mehrdad MirbodThis study describes the emergence, development and functions of Environmental Non-Governmental Organizations (ENGO) and addresses their role and impact in Natural Resources Management Extension (NRME) in Iran. The study also attempts to describe the collaboration and support of government organizations managing natural resources, mainly National Forest and Pasture Organization (NFPO) and Environmental Conservation Organization (ECO) and locally based ENGOs in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,731 accessesView PDFCite
