(2010)
Equipment reliability is a more important issue in Africa because of meagre financial resources and lack of entrepreneurs well versed with the subject. The business entrepreneur is interested in profit, and the issue of ...
Estimation of the California Bearing Ratio for lateritic soils based on compaction characteristics
(Makerere University, 2014)
California Bearing Ratio (CBR) is a commonly used indirect method to assess the stiffness modulus and shear strength of subgrade in pavement design works. However, civil engineers always encounter difficulties in obtaining ...
Thermal characterization and modeling of woody biomass gasification for small-scale combined heat and power application
(Makerere University, 2014)
World over, small-scale CHP systems are undergoing rapid development, and are emerging on the market with promising prospects for the near future. The choice of a suitable CHP system is driven by the need and local conditions ...
