RISDesign of Carbon-Neutral Residential Communities in Kuwait
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a general methodology for designing carbon-neutral residential communities is presented. Both energy efficiency measures and renewable energy technologies are considered in the design approach. First, energy ...
Review of Urban Heat Island and Building Energy Modeling Approaches
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a review of the current literature in modeling urban heat island (UHI) phenomena including its main causes and effects is summarized. The main goal of the review is to assess the current modeling capabilities ...
Computational Fluid Dynamics and Noncomputational Fluid Dynamics Applications Under Life-Long Association With Professor Kirti (Karman) Ghia
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Six legacy case problems in fluid dynamics (FD), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and applied aerodynamics applications that were studied during 1988–1996 are presented here. These are examples of my work reflecting the ...
Impact of Building Design and Operating Strategies on Urban Heat Island Effects Part II: Sensitivity Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study investigates the mutual thermal interactions between buildings and the microclimate within urban area centers. Buildings are the primary energy consumers in cities, and one of the main causes of the urban heat ...
Impact of Building Design and Operating Strategies on Urban Heat Island Effects—Part I: Model Development and Validation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper introduces a simplified simulation environment to model the reciprocal thermal interactions between urban air and buildings. Specifically, the simulation environment accounts for several factors that are responsible ...
Void Structure and Strength of Foam Geopolymer Concrete: Impact of Using Different Binder and Filler Types
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractA study has been undertaken to investigate the effect of using different types of
binder by changing the source materials (fly ash and metakaolin individually or in
combination) on the void structure and strength ...

A Tight-Binding for Calculating the Raman Spectra and the Hartree–Fock Method Treatment for C13 NMR Spectra of Fullerenes C60Br6
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The structural Raman spectra and NMR of the fullerene derivative (C60Br6) were simulated at room temperature from the tight-binding method and the first-principles calculations, respectively. The ...
A Theoretical Structure Study Infrared Spectra of C60O Isomers Through Ab Initio Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The infrared spectra of C60O isomers have been calculated through ab initio method. It has been observed that the simulated spectrum of one of C60O isomers is matching with the available ...
Optimum Proportions and Properties of Foamed Concrete Made with Waste Plastic as Fine and Coarse Aggregate
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractThis research aimed to explore the use of foamed concrete (FC), a lightweight concrete,
by replacing sand with crushed plastic from washing machines to improve environmental
and thermal properties. The primary ...
