This study analyzes the feasibility of satisfying the demand of three Football Stadiums for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, using the wind’s kinetic energy. For all three selected locations (Lusail, Al Rayyan, and Al Wakrah), the wind potentiality is calculated through an environmental parameters study, from which the wind power density is obtained. Furthermore, a commercial wind turbine with pr...

Isaifan Yusuf Bicer Several challenges have emerged due to the increasing deterioration of urban mobility and its severe impacts on the environment and human health. Primary dependence on intern...

The prime objective of the present experimental work is to evaluate the impact of ultrasonication time and surfactants on the optical characteristics (transmittance and absorbance) and stability of CuO/water, CNTs/water, and Fe3O4/water nanofluids to be used in spectrum selective applications. Two-step method with various ultrasonication times (30 min, 60 min, and 90 min) was employed to prepare n...

As a part of smart development, while technology of producing PV (photovoltaic) module develops, the requirements for testing and certification of PV modules become more complicated and essential. Solar energy promises a high potential for Turkey as well as producing solar related products such as solar cells, PV modules and inverters which will enable a smart urbanization through smart grids. Cer...

The global energy sector is predominated by fossil fuels for the production of electricity and freshwater. This is more pronounced in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region experiencing fast economic growth driven by major oil and gas infrastructure. Conventional cogeneration systems typically encounter higher operational efficiencies and relatively lower costs compared to renewables-based sys...

In this study, an integrated system is proposed to form dolomite chemically from seawater and carbon dioxide. The system contains three main chemical processes: formation of magnesium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide, the reaction of magnesium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide with carbon dioxide, and the formation of dolomite. Based on the fundamental thermodynamic laws, energy and exergy analyses, ...

Transporting energy in liquefied forms results in reduction in volume, which enables energy to be transported economically over long overseas distances. In this study, liquefied natural gas, liquid ammonia and methanol are proposed to transport the energy of natural gas in different forms to overseas. Due to temperature difference between the energy storage medium and the ambient, a portion of li...
