      Mustafa, Mohamad Y.; Yizhong, Xu; Sørensen, Bjørn Reidar; Santos, José; Al-Mahadin, Aziz (Peer reviewed; Chapter, 2018-06-11)
      This paper presents a study of airborne noise generated by a T-slotted cylindrical aluminum hollow column with six slots of the type used for the construction of communication towers. Noise is a very distracting phenomena and an environmental concern caused by various sources. Noise pollution is becoming more severe with the introduction of massive human activities and the use of heavy machineries, ...

      Mustafa, Mohamad; Al-Mahadin, Aziz; Kanstad, Bjørn Eirik; Calay, Rajnish K (Peer reviewed; Chapter, 2018-06-11)
      Heat engines, such as internal combustion engines, have significant adverse effects on the environment due to their heat and harmful emissions. In addition, they are dependent on energy from fossil resources, which are depleting rapidly and they are not being properly utilized due to the relatively low efficiency of heat engines usually expressed by Carnot's efficiency. The low temperature direct ...
    • Utilizing fuel cell technology for Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) 

      Al-Mahadin, Aziz; Mustafa, Mohamad (Peer reviewed; Chapter, 2018-06-11)
      The need for developing environmentally friendly and sustainable energy sources is globally evident. This is due to two main reasons: Fossil fuels will continue to supply energy demands for only a few more decades and the amount of pollution generated due to fossil fuels is exceeding acceptable limits. One very promising clean energy converter is the fuel cell (FC). Fuel cells have the ability to ...
