This paper describes the design and installation of a fire-fighting system in a high-rise building, the SAMA Residential Tower in Palestine. A sprinkler system, a standpipe system, a fire hose cabinet, a landing valve, externally accessible fire hydrants, and a Siamese connection are all included in this system. Additionally, it complies with NFPA 13, 14, and 20 codes, as well as those of the Palestinian and Jordanian governments. Hydraulic calculations were performed manually and confirmed using Elite Fire Protection software. The layouts were developed using AutoCAD, and 3D modeling was created in Revit to optimize the placement of components. All zones of the building will be protected by... More >

Aerodynamics principles play a fundamental role in both energy generation and consumption. Automobile aerodynamics contribute to its overall performance as well as to its efficiency. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of some of the available literature on spoilers and vortex generators (VGs). The paper then discusses the impact of the different types of air spoilers and VGs on the Audi R8 2014 vehicle using ANSYS Fluent 19.2. The vehicle has been modified to accommodate simulation using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The simulation process is briefly described. There have been various spoilers proposed, including pedestal spoilers, trunk spoilers, and wavy spoilers. Ad... More >
