Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpace ProbesRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuA space probe is an unmanned space vehicle launched into space to study more or less distant different celestial objects: The Sun, the planets, dwarf planets and small bodies, their satellites, the interplanetary medium or the interstellar medium. A space probe is distinguished from other unmanned spacecraft that remain in Earth orbit. Space probes can take a large number of … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 21 May 2019 · 7,423 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHighly-Available, Collaborative, Trainable Communication – a Policy – Neutral ApproachChristian Schreibaumer, Isabella Stein, Eberhard DobermannScalable theory have led to many advances. Data flow is constantly growing and systems are expanding. Theoretical principles of red-black trees can help to build a scalable system, where data easily can expand and in the end energy is saved. We propose a novel solution, an organizational platform, an algorithm for the analysis of agents, which we call Mop. With … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 6 · 5 Apr 2018 · 9,778 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Combined Natural Convection and Radiation Heat Transfer Using a Similarity SolutionMehdi Zeyghami, Muhammad M. RahmanA similarity solution for laminar boundary layer in a buoyancy induced flow over an isothermal, vertical wall in the presence of radiation is developed. Radiation heat transfer is taken into account by application of the Rosseland approximation in the energy conservation equation. The family of similarity solutions to the governing equations is presented. The computed results show that thermal and … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 16 Oct 2015 · 7,902 accessesView PDFCite

JawadProblem statement: The objective of this study was to study the Indirect Resistance Electrical Furnaces (IREF) based on analytical and experimental analyses. The analytical analysis focused on a constant set of equations representing the internal and external flow of heat energy in the furnace, which demonstrated, relatively with the surface area of walls, heat transferring inside the furnace chamber to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,438 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn-Cylinder Heat Transfer Characteristics of Hydrogen Fueled Engine: A Steady State ApproachM. M. Rahman, Khalaf I. Hamada, M. M. Noor et al.This study presents in-cylinder heat transfer characteristics of a single cylinder port injection Hydrogen fueled Internal Combustion Engine (H2ICE) using a steady state approach. Problem statement: The differences in characteristics between hydrogen and hydrocarbon fuels are led to the difference in the behavior of physical processes during engine cycle. One of these processes is the in-cylinder heat transfer. Approach: One … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,431 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Typical Case Study: Solid Waste Management in Petroleum RefineriesJadea S. Alshammari, Fatma K. Gad, Ahmed A.M. Elgibaly, Abdul Rehman KhanThe current environmental concerns have forced developed and developing countries to reduce air, water and land pollution for sustainable growth. Solid refinery waste is cocktail of hydrocarbons, water, heavy metal and fine solids and is substantial in quantity. The principal processes of waste management focus mainly on waste source reduction, reusing, recycling, composting, incineration with or without energy recovery, fuel … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 9,773 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolid Waste Management in Petroleum RefineriesJadea S. Alshammari, Fatma K. Gad, Ahmed A.M. Elgibaly, Abdul Rehman KhanWaste management became focus of attention of many researchers and scientists in the last half century due to its vital importance. Waste management covered waste source reduction in general, by recycling, reusing, composting, incineration with or without energy recovery, fuel production and land filling.
