A mathematical model for optimum design and synthesis of a hybrid electrolyser-fuel cell system: Production of hydrogen and freshwater from seawater

Author: Singh, M ; Mukoma, Peter ; North, Brian C ; Majozi, T Date: Dec 2020 Fossil fuels have earned a reputation as unsustainable sources of energy, due to the release of carbon emissions that are attributable to global warming. To overcome the extensive release of carbon emissions into the environment, different ... Read more
Model of clinker capacity expansion

Author: Stylianides, T Date: Oct 1998 This paper describes a model which has been applied in practice to determine an optimal plan for clinker capacity expansion. The problem was formulated as an integer linear program aiming to determine the optimal number, size and location of ... Read more
Multi-variable optimisation of the quality characteristics of fiber-laser cladded Inconel-625 composite coatings

Author: Olakanmi, EO ; Nyadongo, ST ; Malikongwa, K ; Lawal, SA ; Botes, Annelize ; Pityana, Sisa L Date: Jan 2019 Inappropriate choice of processing and materials parameters when re-manufacturing industrial equipment, via laser cladding (LC) technique, has adverse implications for attaining durability of equipment in terms of functional performance, ...

Optimisation of a novel trailing edge concept for a high lift device

Author: Botha, JDM ; Dala, L ; Schaber, S Date: Sep 2014 A novel concept (referred to as the flap extension) is implemented on the leading edge of the flap of a three element high lift device. The concept is optimised using two optimisation approaches based on Genetic Algorithm optimisations. A ... Read more
Pressure management strategies for water loss reduction in large-scale water piping networks: a review

Author: Adedeji, K ; Hamam, Y ; Abe, B ; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI Date: Jun 2017 Water is a precious natural resource; human survival and nearly all modes of economic production depends on water. The efficient use of water resources is a subject of major concern for water utilities around the world. Within the last years, ... Read more
Pressure management strategies for water loss reduction in large-scale water piping networks: A review

Author: Adedeji, KB ; Hamam, Y ; Abe, BT ; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI Date: Feb 2018 In water distribution networks (WDNs), water loss through leaking pipes is inevitable, as it constitutes a major threat to the operational services of water utilities. While water utilities are keen to providing an adequate supply of water ... Read more
Response surface methodology for modelling tribological behaviour of maraging steel 300 parts manufactured by laser powder bed fusion

Author: Maodzeka, DK ; Mosalagae, M ; Hagedorn-Hansen, D ; Pityana, Sisa L ; Olakanmi, EO Date: Jun 2023 Knowledge of friction properties of a material is essential in order to understand its tribological applications. The friction is an important aspect that affects functionality of maraging steel components manufactured by laser powder bed ... Read more
Using response surface methodology in optimisation of biodiesel production via alkali catalysed transesterification of waste cooking oil

Author: Naidoo, R ; Sithole, Bishop B ; Obwaka, E Date: Mar 2016 The report focuses on optimisation of alkali catalysis as a process for producing biodiesel from waste cooking oils. Biodiesel production parameters that were optimised were methanol to oil ratio, catalyst concentration, reaction temperature, ... Read more
Valorisation of avocado seeds: extraction and characterisation of starch for textile applications

Author: Tesfaye, Tamrat ; Gibril, M ; Sithole, Bishop B ; Ramjugernath, D ; Chavan, R ; Chunilall, Viren ; Gounden, Navandran Date: 2018 Sustainable disposal of the waste is problematic due to increasing shortages of landfill space. Avocado is a common fruit that is widely consumed in many countries. This consumption results in large quantities of avocado waste being generated ... Read more
