Thermally Conductive Polyethylene/Expanded Graphite Composites as Heat Transfer Surface: Mechanical, Thermo-Physical and Surface Behavior
Published 2020“…The plasma treatment also improved the HDPE/EG composite overall heat transfer coefficient with an overall heat transfer coefficient of the composite reaching about 98% that of stainless steel. Moreover, the plasma-treated composite exhibited superior resistance to crystallization fouling in both CaSO4 solution and artificial seawater compared to untreated composites and stainless-steel surfaces.…”

Renewable Energy Consumption and Carbon Emissions: Evidence from an Oil-Rich Economy
Published 2022“…The results reveal that renewable energy consumption has a negative impact on CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, while real GDP per capita has a positive effect. According to the findings, a 1% increase in renewable energy consumption leads to a 0.26% decrease in consumption-based CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, while a 1% rise in real GDP per capita leads to a 0.46% rise in consumption-based CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. …”

Evapotranspiration and water availability response to climate change in the Middle East and North Africa
Published 2021“…Outcomes reveal that the MENA region is indeed vulnerable to a surge in temperature, which can increase evapotranspiration losses and decrease water availability. Under the shared socioeconomic pathway (SSP2-4.5), the potential evapotranspiration (PET) has been projected to increase throughout the MENA region by up to 0.37 mm per year during the middle of the twenty-first century (2021–2050) and by up to 0.51 mm per year during the end of the twenty-first century (2071–2100). …”
