Modelling and simulation for the joint maintenance-inventory optimisation of production systems (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Zahedi-Hosseini, F. (2018, December). Modelling and simulation for the joint maintenance-inventory optimisation of production systems. Presented at Winter Simulation Conference 2018, Gothenburg, Sweden

Simulation methodologies are developed to model the joint optimization of preventive maintenance and spare parts inventory for a specific industrial plant under different production configurations. First, spare parts provisioning for a single-line sy... Read More about Modelling and simulation for the joint maintenance-inventory optimisation of production systems.

Outdoor neutral temperature assessment within Deakin University campus at Melbourne City, Australia (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Kenawy, I., & Elkadi, H. (2018, November). Outdoor neutral temperature assessment within Deakin University campus at Melbourne City, Australia. Presented at 52nd International Conference of the Architectural Science Association (ANZAScA), Melbourne, Australia

Outdoor thermal comfort is an effective attribute to the success of urban places. Various studies were employed to examine thermal perception and preferences of users within different geographical, functional, and climatic contexts. The complexity of...

Effects of gravity on flow behaviour of supercritical CO2 during enhanced gas recovery and sequestration (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Abba, M., Abbas, A., Saidu, B., Nasr, G., & Al-Otaibi, A. (2018, November). Effects of gravity on flow behaviour of supercritical CO2 during enhanced gas recovery and sequestration. Poster presented at Fifth CO2 Geological Storage Workshop, Utrecht, The Netherlands

A core flooding experiment was carried out to simulate an Enhanced Gas Recovery (EGR) process to inject supercritical Carbon Dioxide (SCO2) into a core sample saturated with methane (CH4). This was done to investigate the flow behaviour of the inject... Read More about Effects of gravity on flow behaviour of supercritical CO2 during enhanced gas recovery and sequestration.
