Airborne particulate matter monitoring in Kenya using calibrated low-cost sensors
(University of Nairobi, 2018-10)East African countries face an increasing threat from poor air quality stemming from rapid urbanization, population growth, and a steep rise in fuel use and motorization rates. With few air quality monitoring systems ... -
Airflow maldistribution and the performance of a packaged air conditioning unit evaporator
(Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of NairobiSchool of Mechanical Engineering, University of Leeds, 2000)The performance of an evaporator for a packaged air conditioning unit has been investigated. A heat transfer program ACOL5 validated in an earlier study, was used to predict the performance. Non-uniform velocity distribution ... -
Airflow Resistance of Parchment Arabica Coffee
(Department of Environmental and Biosystems Engineering, University of Nairobi, 2005-06)Resistance to airflow of clean bulk parchment coffee at moisture contents of 36·7, 30·7, 19·6 and 12·7% (w.b.) was studied for airflow range of 0·126–0·72 m3 s−1 m−2 using an experimental test column. Results indicated ... -
An algorithm to determine the mass transfer rate from a pure liquid surface using the volume of fluid multiphase model
(2004)An algorithm to determine the mass transfer rate from the surface of a pure liquid in conjunction with the volume of fluid (VOF) was developed. The algorithm determines the liquid/gas interface by using information of the ... -
Alleviating GaLa’s poly-mess; archetypal eco-ethical product design outlook
(School of the Arts & Design, University of Nairobi, 2011)The deplorable state of the environment has lately become a major issue nationally and internationally. A major contributor to this sorry state is polythene (plastics). Towards better understanding of this issue, this paper ... -
