Application Of Vibrational Techniques In Determination Of Dynamic Properties Of Agricultural Products-State Of The Arton Of Vibrational Techniques In Determination Of Dynamic Properties Of Agricultural Products-State Of The Art, Silas Kajuna Dec 1999

Application Of Vibrational Techniques In Determination Of Dynamic Properties Of Agricultural Products-State Of The Arton Of Vibrational Techniques In Determination Of Dynamic Properties Of Agricultural Products-State Of The Art, Silas Kajuna

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

Vibration is one of the techniques employed in the determination of dynamic properties of fruits and vegetables. It entails generation of a mechanical or acoustic vibrational signal which is propagated through the flesh of the agricultural material. A transducer is either attached or held close to the specimen to monitor the propagation of the signal through the specimen. The manner in which the signal is transmitted through the material is analyzed, and the dynamic properties of the specimen which relate to its firmness or its internal being are derived. The technique has been around for the past 30 years or …


Hydraulic Rams For Rural Water Supply Schemes In Selected Areas In Tanzania, T Mbwette Dec 1984

Hydraulic Rams For Rural Water Supply Schemes In Selected Areas In Tanzania, T Mbwette

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

This paper presents one of the many efforts made by the Faculty of Engineering and the Institute of Production Innovation of the University of Dar es Salaam towards the realization of the International Water Supply and Sanitation Decade. Special reference is made to the use of hydraulic rams along with some simple water treatment methods. Besides the account of theoretical and practical work done to-date in the field of water supply, a further evaluation of the theoretical model presented is recommended so as to enable a judgement of the present hydraulic ram designs to be done. Tests on a typical …
