Modeling Fluid Flow in Open Channel With Horsehoe Cross-Section
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2016)This study considers unsteady non-uniform open channel flow in a closed conduit with horseshoe cross-section. Effects of the flow depth, channel radius,slope of the channel, manning constant and lateral inflow on the flow ... -
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 ... -
Modelling Temporal Rainfall Patterns in Kenya Based on Temperature Trends.
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2014)Rainfall and temperature series and their corresponding extreme events impact heavily on the performance of a country's economy especially in a developing country like Kenya, which relies on rainfed agriculture. Such ... -
Estimation of Population Explosion Time in Meru township by Analysing the Determinants Water Consumptions using time Series Mode
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2015)Meru Town is the headquarters of Meru County and its population has been increasing over the years at an average annual rate of 2.36% per annum.As the population increases, the demand for water increases which in turn ... -
Modeling the Temporal Effects of External Trade Components of Kenya on the Balance of Trade (BOT)
(Meru University of Science and Technology, 2014-08)The project aimed to assess the export and imports variables that significantly determine the balance of trade for Kenya over a period of time. In addition it sought to model the balance of trade on context of exports and ... -
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 ... -
Modelling Open Channel Fluid Flow with Trapezoid Cross-Section and Segment Base.
(Meru Univesity of Scienec and Technology, 2016-11)This study investigates the suitability of trapezoidal cross-section with segment base in drainage system design. The study has considered steady uniform open channel fluid flow. The saint-venant partial differential ...
