Concentrated Solar Power Technologies

​

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) systems use solar energy to generate heat to produce electricity, this is done by a combination of mirrors or lenses to focus the radiation coming from the sun into a small area where the sun’ radiation is transformed into thermal energy (SunShot, 2015). This thermal energy is then used to heat up a fluid to generate electricity using different cycles depending on the concentrating collector system. It can be apparent that this can be a great asset in replacing fossil fuel combustion. CSP systems are usually integrated into thermal power plants to generate electricity; but since CSP technologies depend on solar energy, they are usually coupled with other technologies to be able to meet electric grid demand. Consequently, since solar energy is not available at night, CSP systems are usually integrated with conventional thermal power plants or have adequate heat storage for evening operation or when it’s cloudy. When these systems are hybridized or have thermal storage they become much more economic and are easier to integrate in the grid.

Solar Air Conditioning - Product Design

​

No doubt that the new world is facing a serious energy crisis. The main dependence used to be on Fossil fuels that sooner or later will come to an end. Moreover, fossil fuels not only contribute in agitating the energy risk obsessive-compulsive disorder, they also contribute in increasing the world’s main pollution problem, be it in raising the CO2 fraction in atmosphere. This is why intensive consideration was given towards achieving and maintaining sustainable energy for future generations. Solar energy is considered one, if not the most, important renewable energy resource nowadays. Almost all the new and replacement power generation stations are expected to be located in regions with high intensity of sunshine. Such motive was sufficient to start researching the available solar systems as a replacement for the current conventional ones for heat generation. The Solar parabolic dish is one of them.

Antibody-Drug Conjugates (ADC) - Biotechnology

​

Founded in 1981 and located in Waltham, Massachusetts, ImmunoGen is a biotechnology company that develops and researches antibody-drug conjugates (ADC) technologies. Their mission is to “develop innovative anticancer therapies that meaningfully improve the lives of patients.” ImmunoGen’s technology is making a huge difference in curing many types of cancer. Although a lot of the products under development are now using ImmunoGen ADC technology, only one is currently fully approved by the FDA to be on the market and it is the Roche’s Kadcyla (ado-trastuzumab emtansine). Because ImmunoGen ADC technology is so unique and shown to be very successful in clinical trials, many leading healthcare companies have joint projects and research with ImmunoGen, these include the Roche Group, Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research, Inc., Sanofi, Amgen Inc., Eli Lilly and Company, Biotest AG, and Bayer HealthCare. The idea behind ImmunoGen ADC technology is to provide people with cancer a drug that is much more helpful than chemotherapy, since chemotherapy has shown to weaken people’s physical and mental health. ADC technology should be able to provide a much more efficient cure to cancer.

Absorption Refrigeration in a Waste Heat Exploitation System

​

Absorption refrigeration has shown a lot of advantages in utilizing waste heat and sustaining the environment. Absorption refrigeration can be exploited in several applications and system to be able to use the waste heat that a certain application or system produces as heat input for the cycle. By doing so we are creating a co-generation system to have much more efficient system with the same or better effectiveness of the original system. Consequently, using absorption refrigeration can have a huge base cost but on the long term can be very beneficial.

CFD model of wind flow over a house and its effect on a local wind turbine

​

In this report we are analyzing the flow pattern around the house to locate a turbine place in the downstream area of the house with some constrains. The first constraint is that the velocity of flow does not decrease less than 10%, the second constraint is that the turbulence intensity does not increase more than 10%. Different techniques were employed to choose the optimum technique and method for solving using computational fluid dynamics. The best suitable method was employed to establish grid independence and domain independence, and then the results would be reliable to use.

Energy Storage: Types, uses, and functions

​

Energy is useful only if available when and where it is wanted. Carrying energy to where it is wanted is called distribution or transmission; keeping it available until when it is wanted is called storage. Within natural ecology, biomass is an energy store for animals and parasites, with seeds becoming a form of distribution. Within society and technology, energy storage, local distribution and long-distance transmission are not new concepts. Fossil and nuclear fuels are effectively energy stores, whose energy density is large, and high-voltage cables allow transmission of electricity. However, as renewable supplies increase, there is a need to develop other storage methods, including secondary fuels, and to sustain and improve distribution and transmission, especially for electricity. Renewable energy supplies have different requirements for storage and distribution than do fossil and nuclear energy supplies. Usually the low intensity and widespread location of most renewable sources favor decentralized end-use, and the variable time dependence favors integration of several supplies with storage in a common system. Nevertheless, some renewable sources are of relatively large scale, as large hydroelectric, geothermal and offshore wind farms, and so suitable for relatively intensive use, which include high-voltage power transmission.

Sedan car power train sub-assembly and gear material selection

​

A car has many subsystems, frame, power train, control, steering and suspension. After reviewing the different subsystems were able to settle on a component in order design, manufacture and choose a material in order to make it. However, In order to design a component its function and service conditions must be first obtained. The gear the component designed is under the subsystem of the power train, it’s responsible for reducing the speed of crank shaft before transmitted to the drive shaft powering the car. The gear being designed is a spur gear that used in reverses in the gearbox. The conditions at which the gear operates are slightly acidic due to oil and temperatures can reach up to 150 degrees. As for the mechanical loading there cyclic loading, impact loading, and abrasion due to wear. The corresponding properties were deduced based on service conditions such as fatigue strength, tensile strength, toughness, hardness and withstand slightly acidic environment at excess of 150 degrees. Using CES software a list of materials were selected that meet the desired properties, the properties were arranged using lower limit method, then digital logic in terms of their importance as to overcome the service conditions, leading to the elimination of some material. Later on we introduced more restrictions such as weigh and cost (manufacturing and raw) in order to choose the optimum material. After choosing the material made three designs and choose the best according to the digital logic method and upper, lower restrictions and target. Furthermore, after choosing material and design, the manufacturing process was chosen based on cost.

Analysis and forecast of Egypt's energy production and consumption

​

Energy trade-offs and decisions permeate society, directly affecting everyday quality of life in many ways. Some effects may be most noticeable at home – or at least in household energy bills due to the rising costs of heating oil and natural gas. Residential energy use accounts for 20% of the total energy consumption in Egypt, and about thirty percent of that goes into air conditioning, with the rest devoted, in decreasing proportions, to appliances, water heating, and heaters. So our personal preferences are intimately tied to, and immediately affect, the country’s overall energy budget.

Analysis of fire fighting pump systems in buildings

​

Fire Sprinkler systems and different other fire systems helps make us safe in emergencies. Fire has damaged a great amount of commercial building and killed a lot of people and thus a fire systems must be established to help protect the people and the buildings. Therefore, there is a lot of strict standards for fire systems, these include the valves, pumps, etc… There is also a lot of firm standards for maintenance and certification requirements that are very hard to get.

Design of a 50 kW Hybrid Wind-PV-Diesel Standalone System for Field Hospitals in Remote Sites

​

Throughout the investigation, proper renewable energy systems were investigated which includes wind and solar analysis. Based on the studies along with the investigation of output energy and power, it was confirmed that hybrid renewable energy systems are one of the recommended options for an energy system. The system however is considered feasible for the off grid sites which is not applicable in the design requirements of the hospital. For analyzing the system, proper outputs from wind and solar were investigated based on wind speed and solar irradiation on a monthly to yearly basis in order to determine the most suitable hybrid method of operation. Once the proper analysis is made, the most suitable type of hybrid system is selected and is used accordingly based on the cost per kilowatt hour along with the incorporation of storage systems. Storage systems are investigated based on the 50KW continuous output and is design along with the incorporation of a diesel generator that used to drive the hospital until the storage system is saved accordingly. This therefore adds the integrated system design on the base of overall operation.

Energy Situation in Egypt in Early 2014

​

The energy situation is in Egypt is worsening by the day. Egypt was one day a net exporter of oil and natural gas, but now Egypt is a net importer of oil and the natural gas is depleting greatly and it is expected that Egypt becomes a net importer of natural gas by 2018. As our demand for energy increase mainly for the great increase in the population, the low economic growth, and the use of inefficient systems that wastes a lot of energy. Most of the demand of the energy is for residential and industry and services and thus it is widely evident that industries are still using old technology that uses great energy and wastes much more. Another factor that is greatly affecting the energy situation in Egypt is the subsidy on electricity, oil, and natural gas. Since the cost of electricity in Egypt has been ranked to be one of the lowest in the world, a lot of people abuse the use of electricity. Also the subsidy on natural gas and oil is not helping industries change to more effective and efficient systems for production. Another great factor that is now present in a lot of countries and not present here in Egypt is the Carbon tax, which is a tax imposed on a ton of carbon dioxide produced from a company. Thus, awareness should be given to renewable energy, sustainability, and hybrid and co-generation systems. Also renewable energy would become attractive when the price of electricity increases, i.e. the subsidy is removed.

Water Bottle Packaging and Manufacturing Process

​

Food packaging maintains the benefits of food processing after the process is complete, enabling foods to travel safely for long distances from their point of origin and still be healthy at the time of consumption. However, packaging technology must balance food protection with other issues, including energy aspects, material costs, social matters, and environmental issues. In this paper, the discussion will be focused on a plastic water bottle that is used in everyday life. This is one of the most important food packaging topics as water is the most consumed beverage consumed by the human being.

When and Where to use Co-generation Systems

​

Co-generation or Combined Heat and Power (CHP) is defined as the sequential generation of two different forms of useful energy from a single primary energy source, typically mechanical energy and thermal energy. Mechanical energy may be used either to drive an alternator for producing electricity, or rotating equipment such as motor, compressor, pump or fan for delivering various services. Thermal energy can be used either for direct process applications or for indirectly producing steam, hot water, hot air for dryer or chilled water for process cooling. Co-generation makes sense from both macro and micro perspectives. At the macro level, it allows a part of the financial burden of the national power utility to be shared by the private sector; in addition, indigenous energy sources are conserved. At the micro level, the overall energy bill of the users can be reduced, particularly when there is a simultaneous need for both power and heat at the site, and a rational energy tariff is practiced in the country.

Solar Thermal Power Generation using a Double Concentration System

​

Designed to provide a possible solution to the energy crisis shortage, this paper examines a modified version of the solar dish collector established by the authors as a potential, highly efficient, economical and sustainable answer to consumer energy needs. The paper experiments with numerous options including modifying the collection of solar energy to decrease manufacturing cost and increase efficiency. In addition, the focal point of the system is modified using an optical system to establish greater light concentration. Furthermore, a dual axis tracking system has been designed to establish continuous tracking of the sun and to maintain the focus of the optical system. A series of tests were undertaken on the different optical assemblies affecting the performance, efficiency, durability, and cost of the system. In conclusion, investigations reveal that a modified optical assembly could reduce the shadow on the primary mirror, decrease the manufacturing cost of the structure, and increase the efficiency of the system. However, the feasibility of this project greatly depends on the manufacturing and material resources available for designing a hyperbolic mirror with exact specifications.

Feasibility Study for an Oxy-Fuel Combustion and Carbon Capture power plant in Egypt

​

The CO2 capture project has been proven to be the most efficient way to combat the climate change crisis. One of the methods to apply CO2 capture is by using Oxy-fuel combustion, which is burning oxygen rather than burning air. This increases the efficiency of the combustion and allows CO2 to be separated and captured in later stages. After the capturing the CO2, it is then stored beneath the ground to form fossil fuels for future generations. The objective is thus to define a working operational plan that is focused on promoting and constructing an oxy fuel power plant through the means of Engineering project management. Techniques and methods were utilized in comparing and contrasting the types of stages that were required from both a normal power plant and the oxy fuel power plant to be fully constructed and comparing the profits and payback costs that are formed from each system. Along with the construction is the establishment of specific teams to follow on the construction and determining the most optimized times for the project completion. Once the project is completed it is thus compared with the use of international/standards costs in order to determine which cycle is most beneficial both economically and environmentally.

System Engineering analysis for a Solar Parabolic Dish Air Conditioning System

​

In this project, the team investigated how to design an air conditioning system utilizing sources of renewable energy to solve the electric power shortage in Egypt. Main guidelines of conceptual design phase were adopted. Customers’ needs were thoroughly identified, the corresponding system requirements were investigated and finally specification type A for the proposed systems was reached. The team also investigated aspects of improving the system utilizing a mechanism that relies on sensors for moving the system according to specific orientations required. The air conditioning system utilizes a solar parabolic trough that reflects sunlight through a specific degree orientation to a series of mirrors that also reflect the light to heat a source of fluid for the air conditioning system. This relies on a series of mirrors that are connected to the trough along with sensors that detect the degree orientation of the trough with the sun in order to receive the proper sunlight needed for operation. This allows for the proper heating of a heat exchanging fluid that flows through the air conditioning cycle accordingly for proper operation. Through proper investigations using methods of systems engineering which involve Conceptual design, detailed design, and Preliminary design, a final design and analysis was established in order to properly allow the system to function under customer specifications. Not only will the system allow for a proper establishment of utilizing all renewable sources but it will also guarantee a free utilization of pure environmental friendly energy consumption.

Possibilities for Solar and Wind Energy in Egypt

​

Egypt has a lot of natural energy resources that are very important in solving Egypt's energy crisis. Egypt is currently focusing its efforts in wind energy; however, Egypt also has a lot of solar energy that can be utilized to generate enough power not only to be used locally but also to export to other countries as well. Wind energy is particular interesting on the red sea, where there is consistency of the wind velocity. Solar energy, on the other hand, has a lot of prospects because Egypt has almost no cloudy days and also has a very warm climate and for these reasons concentrated solar power should be the future for Egypt's Energy production plan.

Material Advancements in Turbine Blade Technology

​

Advancements never stop because humans will always try to seek perfection. When advancing, many obstacles will be faced where we have to improve our technologies and ourselves. For example, commercial airplanes have improved from propeller engines to jet engines that reached the speed of sound. While doing so, everything in the way changed such as the design, the technology, the materials used, and everything else. Nevertheless, the core science that is behind all of these changes and advancements are the materials science. Materials over the years have reached new levels. Now a day, advancements reached Nano scale technologies. These technologies facilitated the creation and mixture of new alloys that help in in our journey to perfection. In this report, we will focus on the material advancements in the airplane’s engine, specifically the blades of the turbine.

Finally further analyses of at conceptual Design of how ESC is designed to receive inputs and change the vehicles maneuverability by its outputs.

Study on the Effect of Shock Waves on Aircrafts

​

Sound travels at about 340 m/s and sometimes, going close to that speed in air, can cause rapid changes in air characteristics, the NASA SR-71 creates pressure deferential making air pressure and temperature both drop when air speed increases, and thus rapid changing the density of the air. This happens because of the presence of a shock wave, when air speed increases to Mach 1, meaning having the same speed of sound. As pressure drops, the air cools down, and as it cool, its ability to hold moisture drops, so if there is enough moisture, one can see it form in the clouds that appears to be attached to the aircraft itself. But the cone shaped clouds (shock wave), that are seen are not in fact travelling with the aircraft. Each section of air spontaneously reacting to the temperature and pressure changes induced by the aircraft’s body sliding pass the air particles. The shock waves are formed by the air that cannot escape fast enough, and thus forming a pressure wave, we preserve this pressure wave as sound, sometimes referred to as a sonic boom. An aircraft actually produces two sonic booms but because they reach the observer very quickly after one another, it is difficult to distinguish the two. All these factors are quite normal and have come to be expected in images that capture supersonic, trans-sonic, and near sonic speeds.

Crocodile’s Animated Motion

​

The construction of the Crocodile Animated motion (CAM) required the use of both research and creativity. The research was to understand the motion of the crocodile’s tail and how it created the required motion to cause propulsion of the moving object, whether it is either the crocodile or other bodies. The motion involved the use of vertebrae links which produced similar motions to that of the crocodile along with sustaining the forces that are in the water. The vertebrae links are connected by pin joints and springs which allow free motion to the links along with producing the movement required through utilizing both the forces of the water and allowing propulsion though the mechanism. The mechanism is also grounded via the object that will be moving through the water and is also grounded through a motor that will move the mechanism horizontally without causing abrupt changes (the connection is via a dyad moving the mechanism, a simple 4 bar linkage). When moving the crank, the mechanism moves through the water with 1 degree of freedom allowing it to utilize the link and spring connections to create forward propulsion. This movement fits the environment of the crocodile since the crocodile relies specifically on river and lake environments. Also the main advantage through the mechanism is that it also can adapt to the settings of oceans and large sea environments since the connections utilize the force and wave propagation produced to create the propulsion. This advantage along with the close connection with the actual structure of the crocodile tail, allow the mechanism to have a fully close connection with the real settings required.

Business Forecast and Simulation for a Local Business Store

​

The project is to build and manage a chocolate chip cookie store and our aim is to decide whether or not opening this store would be profitable or not. Consequently, we will be using our knowledge and experience from Engineering Economics to choose whether or not to pursue this project or small business. To do this we will be undergoing a lot of steps that require a great deal of data collection. These steps will be based on the data that we have learned in Engineering Economics. After learning our project horizon and objective, we were able to distribute and organize the project on each member of the group. Moreover, we were able to collect data in several different ways; these include, interviewing experts, telephoning companies, collecting prices, and using internet sources. We will be given to alternatives to test and compare, and with our experience and calculations we will be able to test and thus decide on the best choice.

The Effects of Texting on Driving

​

This research was undertaken at the American University in Cairo (AUC) in hope of examining the relationship between cell phone usage and distracted driving, as well as identifying the motivational factors that cause AUC students to use cell phones while driving.  The study aims at lowering the number of students who use their cell phones while driving, as hypothesized that a huge number of AUC students drive while distracted. The research involved conducting a survey that was distributed to 316 Egyptian AUC students to assess how they perceive the dangers of driving while distracted (DWD). Respondents showed that 71% of the surveyed students use their cell phones while driving, and that 96% of the students at the AUC are well aware of the dangers of DWD. In conclusion, it was apparent that though AUC students are aware of the risks behind using cell phones while driving, they intentionally use it. Interviews were also conducted on a small number of students to research the motivational factors that make AUC students use their cell phones while driving. Additionally, an investigation involving observing drivers in some streets near the AUC was undertaken to find out the percentage of people who actually use their cell phones while driving. The research concludes by recommending that all AUC student turn off their cell phones while driving to decrease the distraction while driving.
