Influence of Fines on the Compressibility of Surface Sands in Kuwait by Al-Abdulmuhsen, Shaikhah A. N.

“…Moreover, with increasing fines, the compressibility increased as demonstrated by the larger values of Cc at all degrees of relative compaction except at 100% and that the coefficient of consolidation Cv decreased with increasing fines, which means that as the fines increase the time required to achieve a certain degree of consolidation will also increase.…”

Sorption of benzene and naphthalene on (semi)-arid coastal soil as a function of salinity and temperature by NgueleuS.K.

“…The sorption of naphthalene was not affected by the change in salinity but increased by 18% when the temperature decreased from 35 to 5 �C. A sorption kinetic model was also applied to define the sorption behavior of benzene and naphthalene for the coastal soil collected in Qatar and the best fits were achieved with the Langmuir sorption isotherm.…”

Experimental study of exhaust emissions and performance of a dual fuel IDI diesel engine by Badr, O.

“…The admission of more gaseous fuel with the intake air increased the engine power, thermal efficiency, and NOx emissions while CO and UHC emissions increased up to the flame initiation limit beyond which they decreased sharply. The experimental results showed higher engine powers and efficiencies, lower CO and UHC emissions, and unfortunately higher NOx emissions and narrower knock-free operating range with employing larger pilot fuel quantifies, advancing the pilot fuel injection timing, and increasing the intake temperature. …”
