DETERMINATION OF DIFFUSION COEFFICIENTS OF FOOD
(2016-05-20)
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 ...
AN INVESTIGATION OF EFFECTS OF BOUNDARY LAYER THICKNESS
(2016-05-20)
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 ...

HEAVY METALS, PHOSPHATES AND NITRATES LEVELS IN VEGETABLES: A CASE STUDY OF KITALE MUNICIPALITY, TRANS-NZOIA COUNTY, KENYA
(2016-05-20)
Effluents released from sewage treatment plant contain toxic metal pollutants whose uptake by vegetables is governed by their availability and concentration in the soil. Therefore such vegetables may accumulate pollutants ...
AN INVESTIGATION ON MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMICS FLUID FLOW BETWEEN TWO PARALLEL INFINITE PLATES SUBJECTED TO AN INCLINED MAGNETIC FIELD AND VARYING TEMPERATURES
(2016-05-20)
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is the study of electrically conducting fluids in the presence of magnetic fields. This study examined the motion of a viscous, electrically conducting and incompressible fluid flowing steadily ...
INVESTIGATION OF POLLUTANT LEVELS AND EFFICIENCY OF HEAVY
(2016-05-19)
An increase in population initiating rapid industrialization has been found to consequently increase the effluents and domestic wastewater into the aquatic system. This has resulted in heavy metal pollution which has become ...
