      Patil, Ravindra Rajaram; Mustafa, Mohamad; Calay, Rajnish K; Ansari, Saniya M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-09)
      Computer vision in consideration of automated and robotic systems has come up as a steady and robust platform in sewer maintenance and cleaning tasks. The AI revolution has enhanced the ability of computer vision and is being used to detect problems with underground sewer pipes, such as blockages and damages. A large amount of appropriate, validated, and labeled imagery data is always a key ...
    • Simplified Thermal Performance Evaluation of a PCM-Filled Triple-Glazed Window under Arctic Climate Conditions 

      Riise, Raymond; Calay, Rajnish K; Ravasio, Lucrezia (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-02)
      This paper evaluates the thermal performance of a triple-glazed glass window filled with a phase-change material (PCM) compared to the performance of a traditional triple-glazed window with air gaps. The chosen PCM was paraffin wax. A mathematical model to simulate heat transfer within the system was presented. A commercially available software, COMSOL Multiphysics, was used to numerically solve ...
    • A Techno-economic Study of a Biomass Gasification Plant for the Production of Transport Biofuel for Small Communities 

      Mustafa, Albara Mohamad Yazid Faisal; Calay, Rajnish K; Mustafa, Mohamad (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-03-30)
      A techno-economic feasibility study of liquid bio-fuel production from biomass to meet the demand for public transport in small communities is presented. The methodology adopted in this work is based on calculating the demand of fuels required by transport sector and then estimating the amount of available biomass from various sources which can be treated to produce biofuels to meet the demand ...
