A comparison between experimental measurements and Monte Carlo simulation of neutron flux distribution within an Am-Be Howitzer
(2013-08-01)The spatial thermal and fast neutron flux distributions within the cavity of a 370 GBq Am-Be neutron source-based howitzer were determined experimentally by foil activation and computationally by Monte Carlo method. A ... -
Comparison Of The Experimental And Predicted Heat Transfer Performance Of An Evaporator Coil Circuit. Applied Thermal Engineering. 2000.
(Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Nairobi, Nairobi, KenyaSchool of Mechanical Engineering, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, UKHeat Transfer and Fluid Flow Service, National Engineering Laboratory, East Kilbride, Glasgow G75 OQU, UK, 2000)Experimental data have been generated for a single-circuit, multi-pass finned tube heat exchanger representative of an element of a typical packaged air conditioning unit evaporator. The data have been used to validate a ... -

Component ratios of new building costs in Nairobi: a contractors' perspective
(Department of Real Estate And Construction ManagementDepartment of Architecture and Building Science, 2012)Abstract Purpose - The aim of this paper is to use the case study of Nairobi in Kenya in order to fill the gap of knowledge on the component ratios of new building costs that has been missing from international litera ... -
A Comprehensive Analysis of Graphic Design Strategies in Small Furniture Enterprise Advertising in Nairobi County, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2024)Graphic design (GD) plays a crucial role in visual advertising, serving as a tool to inform, educate, and persuade towards brand loyalty. Despite its significance, Small Furniture Enterprises (SFEs) in Kenya consider graphic ... -
A Compromise Experimental Design Method for Parametric Polynomial Response Surface Approximations
(2006)This study presents a compromise approach to augmentation of experimental designs, necessitated by the expense of performing each experiment (computational or physical), that yields higher quality parametric polynomial ... -
Computation Of Deflections And Radii Of Curvature Of Flexible Road Pavements Using Finite Element Method

Computational Approach to Investigation of Crack Behaviour under Vehicular Loading of A Typical Concrete Pavement (A Case Study of Mbagathi Road in Nairobi)
(2015)Nairobi County has nearly 100% road network as bituminous roads and only 4km road network (Mbagathi Road) is concrete road. This road was a pilot project that was implemented by Kenyan Government between the years 2005 ... -
Computer Applications In Voltage Monitoring And Control (case Of The Kenya Power And Lighting Company
(Electrical and Information Engineering, University of Nairobi, 1992)When an insulator is placed in an electrode gap, its surface charge field distorts the geometric field, leading to a flashover at a voltage value dependent on the degree of the gap field distortion. This paper reports on ... -
Computer Assisted Analysis Of The Impact Of Location On Real Property Value: A Case Study Of Nairobi, Kenya
(Surveying, University of Nairobi, 2009) -
A computer based tool for determination of optimal size rainwater storage tank
(2000)Rainwater tanks have become popular in large Australian cities due to water shortage and greater public awareness towards sustainable urban development. Rainwater harvesting in multi-unit buildings in Australia is less ... -
Computer Simulation of Orthokinetic Flocculation in a Filterbed
(2004)The rational for application of direct filtration in water treatment with omission of the conventional coagulation processes has been a subject of discussion since the inception of direct filters. Among the questions asked ... -
The conflicts, shortcomings, and implications of the urban land management system in Kenya
(Department Of Real Estate and Construction Management, 1997)Particularly during the last decade, there has been a clear recognition of the importance of urban land management in helping to alleviate urban poverty in the developing countries. It is argued that, managing the economic ... -
Conservation Tillage and Food production in Semiarid Tropics of Africa
(2004)Before the arrival of European agricultural technology, technologies addressing the need for more efficient capture and utilisation of resources were being developed in Africa. Land invasions and displacements, the ... -
Conservation tillage Equipment productivity quantified
(2004)Every production practice, including conservation tillage, has positive or negative environmental consequences that may involve air, land, water, and/or the health and ecological status of wildlife. The negative impacts ... -
Conservation tillage implements and operations for soil and water management
(Department of Environmental and Biosystems Engineering, University of Nairobi, 2000)We investigated whether resistant pollen genotypes can be selected for when the maternal plants are infected and whether infection can result to changes in the pistil nutrient level influencing reproductive outcome. Both ... -
Conservation tillage implements and operations for soil and water management in Eastern and Southern Africa
(2000)Improved agricultural productivity using conservation farming (CF) systems based on non-inversion tillage methods, have predominantly originated from farming systems in sub-humid to humid regions where water is not a key ... -
