The Effect Of System And Oxygen Partial Pressure On Single Coal Particle Heterogeneous Ignition Temperature Under Conditions Of Negligible Convection; Experimental Observation, H. Katalambula Dec 1999

The Effect Of System And Oxygen Partial Pressure On Single Coal Particle Heterogeneous Ignition Temperature Under Conditions Of Negligible Convection; Experimental Observation, H. Katalambula

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

Abstract Under conditions of high volatile concentrations, the influence of oxygen concentration on single coal particle ignition becomes more significant. The high volatile concentration conditions have been simulated by employing a microgravity environment. Results show that under these conditions, the heterogeneous ignition temperature decreases faster with increasing oxygen concentration than under normal conditions. The ignition temperature also decreases with increasing system and oxygen partial pressure under both conditions. Generally, the system and oxygen partial pressure show similar and complimenting effects on ignition temperature.


Mathematical Modelling Of Road Bumps, E. S. Massawe Dec 1999

Mathematical Modelling Of Road Bumps, E. S. Massawe

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

In this paper, a general mathematical model that may be used for construction of a road bump on an inclined road is developed. It is shown that if the parameters for the inclination are set to zero, the resulting model reflects the special case of a flat road. Existing experiences are briefly highlighted and a case study was done on different locations along the University Road to demonstrate the developed model.


Evaluation Of Soil Conservation Measures: A Case Study In Mbinga District, Ruvuma Region, Tanzania, S. Y. Thadei Dec 1999

Evaluation Of Soil Conservation Measures: A Case Study In Mbinga District, Ruvuma Region, Tanzania, S. Y. Thadei

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

A study on soil conservation measures was conducted in two villages, Tukuzi and Mahenge, in Mbinga District, Ruvuma Region, Tanzania. The results showed that the ngoro farming system was effective in controlling soil erosion by water on both steep and gentle slopes. Sediments collected from ngoro had high concentrations of plant nutrients such as available phosphorus (P), total nitrogen (N), organic carbon (OC) and exchangeable bases. This was probably due to nutrients released from decomposed grass bundles buried in the soil. In preventing soil erosion, ngoro and bench terraces were equally effective, while contour ditches were as effective as ridges …


Production Of Fermentable Sugars From Waterhyacinth By High-Temperature Dilute-Acid Hydrolysis Method, J. H. Y. Katima Dec 1999

Production Of Fermentable Sugars From Waterhyacinth By High-Temperature Dilute-Acid Hydrolysis Method, J. H. Y. Katima

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

A study on acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of Waterhyacinth (WH) biomass for production of monomeric sugars has been done. Waterhyacinth (Eichhornia Crassipes) plants were obtained from Lake Victoria. A yield of 18.5% w/w fermentable sugars was achieved during hydrolysis of oven-dried Waterhyacinth (ODWH) biomass at 220°C and 1.5% w/w H₂SO₄ acid. The waterhyacinth (WH) hydrolysates obtained from a high-temperature dilute-acid hydrolysis were rich in six-carbon (C₆) sugars (glucose) which could be fermented to ethanol. The production of fermentable sugars from waterhyacinth biomass is a promising new opportunity for its economic value which can in turn accelerate its rate of harvest and utilization.


Estimation Of Volatile Cloud Density For Single Coal Particles Using Microgravity Condition, H. Katalambula Dec 1999

Estimation Of Volatile Cloud Density For Single Coal Particles Using Microgravity Condition, H. Katalambula

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

Single coal particle’s volatile cloud density has been estimated by employing a microgravity condition. The volatile yield was found to decrease with pressure while the density was found to increase, indicating that volatiles occupies less space when under pressure and hence causing some volatiles to be retained within the particle. The volatile cloud density was also found to increase with volatile yield suggesting volatile composition changes with yield. The effect of heating rate on volatile yield was found to be the same as reported by other investigators where the yield increased with heating rate.


Concrete Cracking In Coastal Areas, S. R. Mpinzire Dec 1999

Concrete Cracking In Coastal Areas, S. R. Mpinzire

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

The paper discusses cracking and corrosion of reinforced concrete (RC) structures in coastal zones where aggressive action of salt burdened air is the primary cause of concrete deterioration. Case studies are presented, along with discussion of possible remedies including local demolition, reconstruction and epoxy injection as well as concrete treatment.


The Development Of Groundwater For Water Supply, C. F. Mhilu Dec 1999

The Development Of Groundwater For Water Supply, C. F. Mhilu

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

ABSTRACT This paper presents results of groundwater investigations carried out at Yombo Dovya Village, Temeke District in Dar es Salaam Region. The study has included hydrogeological and geoelectric resistivity sounding survey data obtained at the test site in Yombo village. The results of this investigation based on the application of vertical electrical sounding probe predictions have indicated the existence of reasonable amounts of groundwater resource for development. To verify these results borehole drilling tests were also conducted at the same site (Borehole No. DSM 79/99), and the results obtained by this method compares very well with those obtained earlier by …

Modeling And Simulation Of The Dynamic Behavior Of Monoliths: Effects Of Pore Structure From Pore Network Model Analysis And Comparison With Columns Packed With Porous Spherical Particles, Athanasios I. Liapis, J. J. Meyers, Orrin K. Crosser Dec 1999

Modeling And Simulation Of The Dynamic Behavior Of Monoliths: Effects Of Pore Structure From Pore Network Model Analysis And Comparison With Columns Packed With Porous Spherical Particles, Athanasios I. Liapis, J. J. Meyers, Orrin K. Crosser

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

A mathematical model is presented that could be used to describe the dynamic behavior, scale-up, and design of monoliths involving the adsorption of a solute of interest. The value of the pore diffusivity of the solute in the pores of the skeletons of the monolith is determined in an a priori manner by employing the pore network modeling theory of Meyers and Liapis [J. Chromatogr. A, 827 (1998) 197 and 852 (1999) 3]. The results clearly show that the pore diffusion coefficient, D(mp), of the solute depends on both the pore size distribution and the pore connectivity, n(T), of the …
