Design Optimization of Municipal Solid Waste Incinerators Using Mathematical Modeling and Computer Simulation
(Kenyatta University, 2020-07)Environmental pollution caused by the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) incinerators has raised concerns about the quality of incinerators and the incineration process in Tanzania. Engineers and Scientists in general have ... -
Simulation and Optimisation of a Drying Model for a Forced Convection Grain Dryer
(Kenyatta University, 2018)Forced convection grain dryers are more efficient and achieve greater drying rates than natural convection dryers. However, it is necessary to provide an appropriate solar air heater in order to achieve the required ... -
Forecasting Seasonal Stream Flow in Athi River Basin Using Global and Regional Climate Predictors
(Kenyatta University, 2011-11)Extreme weather events are associated with floods and drought which affect infrastructure, food security, water availability, sanitation and hydro power generation. The Athi river basin is prone to such extreme weather ... -
