Abstract: The main objective of this study is to generate accurate synthetic hourly solar radiation data by using an easily accessible open source data. In this regard, a new approach is proposed for estimation of synthetic hourly global solar radiation during the day by utilizing only annual solar energy data. First time in literature, a model has been developed for prediction hourly and daily solar radiation based on annual solar energy parameter in... More

Abstract: Chief editors are the souls of journals, and can guarantee a journal's success by enhancing the efficiency of the manuscript submission and publication process through promptness and speedy response rates to authors. In this study, a total of 867 international journals—indexed by Science Citation Index, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Arts & Humanities Citation Index, and 567 Chinese journals—indexed by Chinese Science Citation Database...

Abstract: The prediction of formation pore pressure and fracture pressure gradients is a significant step towards the drilling plan. In this study, the formation pressures of twelve wells from NC98 field-Sirte Basin (Waha Oil Company) were calculated by employing empirical methods, Eaton's equations, that depend on the real drilling and well-logging data. Regarding the results, the normal pore pressure in the NC98 field in Sirte basin is 9.89 kPa/m (0.437... More

Abstract: The current situation of Cairo metro stations, especially terminal stations and its surrounding areas, has bad financial revenue and bad effect on environment. It is a major factor in increasing of noise, traffic jam and air pollution, in addition to, spreading of street vendors, collecting of random parking around these terminal stations. Thus, this paper proposed a methodology helping to apply multilateral investments in metro terminal... More

Abstract: Surfactant/alkali flooding is one of the best chemical flooding methods to enhance the oil Recovery Factor (RF). In this research, Ionic Liquid/Alkali (ILA) mixtures were chosen to represent a form of chemical flooding experiments. The selected Ionic Liquids (ILs), {[EMIM][Cl], [THTDPH][Cl], [EMIM][Ac], [BzMIM][Cl], [DMIM][Cl], [BzMIM][TOS], [dMIM][TOS] and [MPyr][TOS]}, were introduced to investigate their efficiency in improving heavy oil (14o...
