Experimental modelling of axial temperature profiles of buoyant diffusion flames
Luti, F.M (1987)Mean temperatures were measured along the axis of propane gas flames using a porous ceramic burner. Data for fire heat release rates ranging form 13.3kW to 30.6kW were taken and analyzed. It was found that the lower zone ... -
An experimental study of the multipass operation of double-glazed solar air heaters
Luti, F.M (1991)Solar air heating (solar collector) is a renewable heating technology and provides heat using solar energy. With fuel costs and other factors, solar air heaters (SAHs) are getting more attention. The energetic and exergetic ... -
Numerical Modelling of Aerodynamic Performance of Aerofoil Windmill Blades at Various Blade Configurations
Ouma, B.H; Luti, F.M; Aikins, Roy (1995)Abstract The accurate prediction of the aerodynamics and performance of vertical-axis wind turbines is essential if their design is to be improved but poses a significant challenge to numerical simulation tools. The ... -
Quality Assurance and Relevance of Engineering Education in Africa
Massaquoi, J.G.M; Luti, F.M (1997)Economic development is correlated with the development of higher education: enrollment ratios in higher education average over fifty percent for countries belonging to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and ... -
Some characteristics of a two-dimensional starting mass fire with cross flow
Luti, F.M (1981)A numerical model which can be used to study some aspects of mass fires is presented. The k—ϵ model of turbulence and the flame sheet model of combustion are employed. To account for the “unmixed-ness” of the fuel and ... -
Transient flow development due to a strong heat source in the atmosphere; Part I:
Luti, F.M (1980)This paper describes a finite difference experiment to simulate the transient development of the convection column above a strip of uniform high temperature source in a stratified uniform cross flow atmosphere. The κ-ε ...
