Development of a multi-zone adiabatic reactor optimization framework for oxidative coupling of methane by Murtaza Ali Khan (22804274)

“…Our results show that distributing oxygen across multiple zones with interstage cooling increases the C₂ yield by almost 8 times, from 5.7% in a single zone to 46.5 % across 30 zones, achieving smoother temperature profiles without changing the catalyst.…”

Human health risks associated with the consumption of groundwater in the Gaza Strip by Basem, Shomar

“…The results of probabilistic risk assessment using Monte Carlo simulation showed that NO3 and F consumption through drinking water were above the reference dose for 35 % and 5 % of the trials performed, respectively. Consequently, the hazard quotient (HQ) is larger than 1 for 35 % and 5 % of the exposure scenarios simulated for these ions. …”
