Window Air Conditioners Transition and Restriction in Saudi Arabia

This paper will provide a proposed solution for saving energy consumption due to residential air conditioners by reducing the window air conditioners type which is the most consumed energy and has a big percent of spreading inside KSA than the split type, also it will discuss some restrictions for trading and manufacturing of air conditioner devices inside KSA besides some restrictions on market and buildings to achieve the objective of reducing the consumption of energy which become a big trend in kingdom vision 2030. The results of this suggesting solution will help the decision-makers to start its plan for execution as it has a big difference between using window type from 2022 till 2030 and if we stop its sales and replace by an efficient one of split AC type in energy consumption in addition to CO2 emission reduction and decreasing of energy cost, hence our kingdom can save petroleum raw materials and keeping the environment to become clean from pollutants so that these resources are delivered to successive generations correct and clean as we received them from those before us.

Quality metrology of carbon nanotube thin films and its application for carbon nanotube-based electronics

Large area,highly uniform,and density controllable carbon nanotube(CNT)films,either well-aligned or random network,are required for practical application of CNT-based electronics.Mass production methods for such CNT films and corresponding quality metrology,which are critical for pushing the CNT-based transistor technology to manufacturing,should be developed in advance.Much progress has been made on fabrication of CNT films;however,there still lacks a metrology for thoroughly quantifying their quality until now.In this paper,through comparing study of CNT films fabricated by dip-coating(DC)and direct deposition(DD)methods,local anisotropy in the film is revealed to impact the performance uniformity of devices so fabricated in a spatial scale dependent manner.The anisotropy effect should be taken into account for the quality characterization of CNT films,which was not noticed in previous studies.Based on these findings,we propose a four-parameter metrology to quantify the overall quality of the CNT films,which includes the local tube density(DL),global density uniformity(Cv),local degree of order(OL),and the relative tube proportion in a certain orientation(Pθ)at a location.The four-parameter characterization and corresponding device performance confirm DC films are superior to DD films for practical application.The four-parameter metrology is not only powerful for overall quality evaluation of CNT films,but also able to predict the fluctuation of devices’performance.Therefore,this material metrology is important for devices and circuits design and valuable for pushing the CNT-based transistor technology forward.
