(University of Eldoret, 2013)
The purpose of the present study was to analyze the impact of water quality and sediment quality on temporal variations of bacterial densities and diversities in marine pond culture system in Mtwapa Creek. The work was ...
DETERMINATION OF DIFFUSION COEFFICIENTS OF FOOD ADDITIVES IN DIFFERENT MEDIA AT 25˚C
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
Food additives play a vital role in today’s bountiful and nutritious food supply and their transportation in water is a diffusion process governed by Fickian diffusion laws. The study looks into the rate of diffusion of ...
THEORETICAL DETERMINATION OF SPECIFIC HEAT AND CRITICAL TEMPERATURE OF HIGH-TC CUPRATE SUPERCONDUCTORS BASED ON INTRALAYER AND INTERLAYER INTERACTIONS
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
The role of attractive interlayer and intralayer interactions in layered high-Tc Cuprate superconductors was investigated using a two-layer Hamiltonian. The Hamiltonian was formulated and diagonalized using Bogoliubov ...
AN INVESTIGATION OF EFFECTS OF BOUNDARY LAYER THICKNESS ON A THIN FILM OF LIQUID FLOW DOWN AN INCLINED PLANE
(University of Eldoret, 2013)
The motion of fluid substances can be described by the Navier-Stokes equations.
These equations arise from the application of Newton's second Law of motion to a
fluid. In this study, Navier-Stokes equations in two ...
