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. ... -
A numerical investigation of the effect of curvature and reynolds number to radial velocity in a curved porous pipe.
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2018)Different irrigation methods are being used in agriculture. However, due to scarcity of water, irrigation methods that use efficiently are needed. The motivation of this study is the increasing use of porous pipes to meet ... -
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 ... -
Removal of lead (II) and cadmium (II) Ions from synthetic waste water using clay cellulose nanocomposite
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2023)Removal of heavy metals from sewage effluent is necessary to avoid environmental contamination. Lead and cadmium ions have been found to be the main heavy metal contaminants in waste water mainly from municipal sources. ... -
Unsteady blood flow through an inclined circular tube with magnetic field
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2018)In this research, unsteady blood flow through an inclined circular tube with magnetic field has been investigated.The tube is rigid, circular, inclined at a given angle and the fixed magnetic field is also inclined to the ... -
Unsteady MHD Flow and Heat Transfer of two Immiscible Fluids between two Parallel Porous Plates in an Inclined Magnetic Field
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2014)The unsteady (MHD) flow of two immiscible fluids in a horizontal channel bounded by two parallel porous plates in the presence inclined magnetic fields had been investigated. The flow is driven by the movement of the upper ... -
Unstedy MHD flow and heat transfer of two immiscible fluids between two parallel porous plates in an inclined magnetic field
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2014-08)The unsteady (MHD) flow of two immiscible fluids in a horizontal channel bounded by two parallel porous plates in the presence inclined magnetic field has been investigated. The flow is driven by the movement of the upper ... -
Use of Mann Kendall and seasonal Kendall methods to study annual and monthly rainfall trends in Narok and Kisii counties
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2018)Rainfall is the main source of water which is an important basic requirement for a living. It is therefore important to have proper planning and water resources management in any county. In this study, the purpose was to ... -
Vehicular Traffic Flow Model with Driver Aggressiveness Component in a Multilane Road.
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2016-11)In this thesis, we outline the Kerner's 3-phase traffic theory, which states that traffic flow occurs in three phases and these are free flow, synchronized flow and wide moving jam phases. A macroscopic traffic flow model ...
