Parametric freeform-based construction site layout optimization by Abotaleb, Ibrahim

“…The developed model is capable of modeling any rectilinear and non-rectilinear site shapes, especially splines, since it utilizes a parametric modeling software. The model also has the ability to mimic the “dynamic” behavior of the objects’ shapes through the introduction and development of three different algorithms for dynamic shapes; where the geometrical shapes representing site facilities automatically modify their geometrical forms to fit in strict areas on site. …”

Development of vertical diffusion solar stills utilizing folded sheets technology by Seleem, Amr

“…A good agreement is reached with feed rates of flow up to 0.0211 kg/m2-s. Moreover, a parametric study for the still utilizing flat sheets model is carried out to assess the performance of the still; it is found that the controllable parameters are:(i) hot plate temperature; (ii) cold plate temperature;(iii) diffusion gap thickness;(iv)feed water temperature; and (v) feed rate of flow; have an impact on the still’s productivity. …”
