Simulation model for solar energy harnessing by the solar tunnel dryer
Kituu, Gareth M; Shitanda, Douglas; Kanali, C.L.; Mailutha, J.T.; Njoroge, C.K.; Wainaina, J.K.; Bongyereire, J. S (2010)Models were developed to predict global solar radiation and the energy harnessed by a solar tunnel dryer, and simulated in Visual Basic 6. In addition, the simulated data were compared with actual data. Using a 10% absolute ... -
Use of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Flakes as Coarse Aggregates Replacement in Concrete Paving Blocks
Musau, Mwalimu K.; Shitanda, Douglas; Githinji, Michael; Mwende, Caroline (Lattice Science Publication, 2020)Concrete paving blocks were first introduced in Holland to replace paver bricks which had become scarce due to the post-war building construction boom. In Kenya, paving blocks are used in construction of ... -
