Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuzzy Based Energy Management of a Domestic Photovoltaic PanelMaher Chaabene, Mohsen Ben Ammar, Ahmed ElhajjajiThis study introduces a new switching mean giving a real time optimum connection mode of domestic apparatus on either the electrical grid or a photovoltaic panel (PVP) output. A fuzzy algorithm makes the decision which ensures the optimal energy management basing on the PVP generation and apparatus states with respect to energy save criteria. Validation was driven on a 1kW … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,009 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUpgrading of Light Dewaxed Oil through Hydrofinishing and Additives Blending for Producing Automatic Transmission FluidGamal Abdel-Nasser Gohar, Mohamed Sherif El-Gayar, Abd El-Moneim Ibrahim et al.Light dewaxed oil was produced through dewaxing process of the light waxy distillate raffinate of crude oil from Western Desert of Egypt using methyl ethyl ketone/toluene mixed solvent. Hydrofinishing process was used to remove the non-hydrocarbon constituents and to improve the physicochemical properties of the produced oils such as color, viscosity index, inhibition responses, oxidation and thermal stability. The operating … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,982 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment on Biocides Bioaccumulation in Mullet Liza klunzingeri in Kuwaiti Waters, off the Arabian GulfA.H. Bu-Olayan, B. V. ThomasBiocides, such as formaldehyde (HCHO), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and glutaraldehyde (C5H8O2) that are commonly used in thermal, desalination and power plants and industries were tested on the commercially important mullet fish, Liza klunzingeri to determine the environmental contamination in the stressed ecosystem of Kuwait Bay sites. Multi-factor Probit analysis toxicity tests (96 h) on L. klunzingeri showed the lowest observed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 6,772 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnergy Management System Audit and Implementation in Educational BuildingsJ. Nouri, A. R. Karbasi, R. Borgheipour, A. TaheriConcerning the high energy consumption of educational buildings in available study; it is conducted to estimate the energy consumption at the Faculty of Humanities (Building No. 2), Science and Research Campus (SRC) of the Islamic Azad University (IAU), Tehran, Iran. Auditing and implementing the energy management system in the implied building, efforts are finally made to propose managerial solutions towards … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 7,392 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Evaluation of Anti-Stripping Additives Mixing in Road Surface Pavement MaterialsTienfuan Kerh, Yu-Min Wang, Yulern LinMost road surfaces in Taiwan are paved with asphalt concrete but the phenomena of rutting, cracking and stripping of the pavement are frequently occurring due to the effects of traffic flow, thermal variation and water erosion caused by rain. In this study, a series of experiments were performed to examine the effectiveness of anti-stripping fillers, which include; rock flour, rock … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2005 · 6,913 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification, Characterization and Quantification of Elastomeric/Plastomeric Waste for Sustainable Waste MinimizationKajal Yadav, Sangita, A. ChandraThe present study focuses on the importance of characterization of waste/post consumer polymers. In recent years sophisticated instrumental techniques played an important role in identification and characterization of polymers. Advances in computer techniques have been combined with analytical instruments to give analytical speed, resolution and minimal sample requirements unimagined a few years ago. The present study deals with the development … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,058 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Impacts of Total System Design Factors on Human Performance in Power PlantsA. Azadeh, J. Nouri, I. Mohammad FamThe objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of total system design factors (TSD) on human performance in a power plant. The TSD factors are defined as design factors, which have an impact on the overall performance of the power plants in the context of total human engineering or macroergonomy. The systems being studied are the control rooms … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,677 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Laser Irradiation on the Structural and Electrical Properties of Co-Zn Ferrite Thin FilmNehad M. TashtoushThin films of irradiated and non-irradiated Co-Zn ferrite was prepared by the thermal evaporation method on a glass substrate. The samples were annealed at 200°C, 400°C and 600°C for 1hr. The XRD analysis of all kinds of films, prepared for this study, shows that the spinel phase is almost completed after annealing. The change of the XRD after annealing is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 7,039 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResidual Defects in Silicon Implanted with Boron and Phosphorous IonsM. JadanAccumulation of radiation defects in Si implanted with B+ or P+ ions, and formation of the residual extended defects (dislocation loops, rod-like defects) in the process of successive thermal treatment have been studied. The anomalies observed in the formation of the extended defects are associated with the elastic stresses in the damaged regions affecting the process of radiation defects clustering. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,935 accessesView PDFCite
