Product Analysis of Supercritical Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis: Utilizing a Unique On-Line and Off-Line Gas Chromatographs Setup in a Bench-Scale Reactor Unit by Amro Kasht (18806863)

“…<p dir="ltr">The utilization of supercritical fluids (SCF) in the Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis (FTS) further complicates the hydrocarbon products identification and analysis process due to the dilution of hydrocarbon peaks by the predominant solvent peak. Therefore, in this project, a custom-made Gas Chromatography (GC) analysis system was designed and implemented to identify and quantify SCF-FTS products. …”

Do high energy-efficient buildings increase overheating risk in cold climates? Causes and mitigation measures required under recent and future climates by Mutasim Baba, Fuad

“…While without adequate ventilation, the overheating risk in high-energy-efficient buildings can be higher than old buildings, where decreasing wall and window U-values and infiltration rate has a greater contribution to the increase of indoor temperature, while decreasing window SHGC has a lower contribution to the decrease in indoor temperature compared to the case with adequate ventilation. …”

Urban Geometry: The Effect of Height Diversity and Buildings Configuration on Thermal Performance and Cooling Load at Urban Scale. A Case Study in Dubai / UAE by SHAREEF, SUNDUS LUAY

“…Furthermore, building orientation plays a significant role in the thermal performance of the urban block, and it contributes to the total cooling load energy saving of the urban block by 6.6 % at the peak time of cooling demand. Moreover, the research found that the variation in building heights will increase the wind velocity by up to 23 %, and this improvement in air flow affects the outdoor air temperature positively. …”
