Numerical analysis of a confined convection-diffusion turbulent flow using finite volume discretization technique coupled with three linear interpolation schemes
(Meru University, 2022)
In fluid dynamics, flow behavior is analyzed using experimental, analytical or numerical methods. Though experiments give physically realistic results, they are expensive in terms of time and cost, and are less flexible. ...

(Meru University, 2022)
Intestinal schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis are major global public health problems. Preventive chemotherapy is the main control strategy, however in settings with poor access to water, sanitation and ...
A numerical investigation of the simple, simpler and simplec algorithms for flow driven by buoyancy in a differentially heated cavity
(Meru University, 2022)
Numerical analysis of fluid flow is anchored on the laws of conservation. A challenge in solving the momentum equation arises due to the unavailability of an explicit pressure equation. To circumvent this problem most ...
Factors influencing delivery of post abortion care services in Meru County, Kenya
(Meru University, 2022)
Globally, an estimated 8.5 million women experience abortion-related complications, resulting in 47,000 maternal deaths annually. Most complications occur in developing countries with the most severe morbidity and mortality ...
Evaluation of Kenyan Clay and Kunkur Fines for Utilization in Production of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2023)
Concrete is the most utilized construction material globally. 10-15% of the components in concrete are cement. This means that a lot of cement is needed in concrete construction. In Kenya, Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) ...
Factors affecting utilization of pit latrines in Tigania East Meru county, Kenya
