Simulation of the Microclimate in Poultry Structures in Kenya
(2011)
A computer model based on the thermodynamic principles was developed for simulating the internal temperature responses in a naturally ventilated broiler chicken house. The model used transient thermal analysis with suitable ...
Viscoelastic Properties of Bulk Groundnuts
(2012)
The groundnut, Arachis hypogaea Linn, samples were collected from the majorly grown areas of western Kenya to investigate the viscoelastic properties pertinent to grain handling, storage and processing. In particular, the ...
Design and Evaluation of Solar Grain Dryer with a Back-up Heater
(University of Nairobi, 2014-04)
The aim of the study was to design and construct a solar grain dryer integrated with a simple biomass
burner using locally
available materials. This was to address the limitations of the natural sun drying for example
drying ...
