  Novel Approach to Improve Stack Effect in High Rise Buildings

  By C. P. Karthikeyan, Kevin Jones, Helen Santhi

  Abstract: This paper aims at improving stack effect in high rise buildings using an innovative approach. Parameters influencing stack effect in high rise buildings are identified based on standard theory and practice. A new draft number for estimating stack effect in high rise buildings is derived using Buckingham-П theorem. Airflow data of a university high rise building is considered in estimating stack effect. The draft number developed is enclosed in ANSYS …

  Static and Dynamic Analysis on a Steel Module in a Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) Ship

  By Kevin Jones, Helen Santhi

  Abstract: Abstract: An FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) is a floating production system that receives fluids (crude oil, hydrocarbons etc.) from a subsea reservoir and processes into oil and gas. Most FPSOs are ship-shaped, remodelled from existing cargo ships. FPSOs have been serving the offshore oil and gas industry for nearly 30 years. They have been proved to be safe and economical. A steel structure (module) in a FPSO will …
