Modelling chlorine residuals in drinking water: a review
(International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology, 2022-01-24)
World Health Organization’s guidelines on water quality limit concentrations of residual chlorine in drinking water to the range 0.2–5 mg/l. Modelling tends to be applied to understand how chlorine concentrations can be ...
Load deflection relationship of a solid slab under the action of construction loads
(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2022-08)
In Uganda, concrete placement methods have kept on improving over the years. There
has been a shift from manual methods to the current use of concrete pumps which
place very high volumes of concrete per minute. Small ...
Performance analysis of the top rollers in a sugar mill using finite element method
(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2022-08)
Sugar milling is the process of extracting juice from crushed sugarcane fibres for production of
sugar crystals. The three-shaft sugar mill set consists of the top roller and two bottom rollers to
crush the sugarcane. ...
A regression model to enhance the profitability of local construction contractors in Uganda
(Kyambogo University [unpublished work], 2022-09)
Doubtlessly, the principal goal of every construction business is to maximise its profitability. Short of adequate profitability, firms can neither attract outside capital nor survive in the long run. Amidst enormous ...
Investigation of the effects of rice husk and rice straw on the properties of lightweight fibrecrete blocks
(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2022-10)
Uganda’s progress towards achieving sustainable growth is curtailed by poor and
limited infrastructure, over 60% of town population live in shantytowns with deprived quality
accommodation and sanitation, 44% of households ...
Performance evaluation of fecal sludge treatment plants in Uganda
(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2022-08)
With the inevitably increasing urbanization of various cities, there has come an increasing amount
of fecal sludge collected in all cities globally. Such an incidence has consequentially led to the
increasing need to not ...
Assessing biogas recovery potential from organic Solid waste generated from academic institutions (case study: Islamic university in Uganda - Mbale city)
(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2022-09)
Resource recovery is contingent to the circular economy and the core intention is to
replace the norm of largely linear economy of take make and dispose with one where
resource circulation and disposal is fostered at ...
A hydrological model skill score and revised R-squared
(Hydrology Research, 2022-01-01)
Despite the advances in methods of statistical and mathematical modeling, there is considerable lack of focus on improving how to judge models’quality. Coefficient of determination (R2) is arguably the most widely applied ...
California bearing ratio for cohesive soils from quasi static cone tests
(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2022-10)
In the majority of nations, the test most frequently employed to identify flexible pavement
layers is the California Bearing Ratio (CBR). To get around the test's high cost,
inconvenience, and length, Quasi static cone ...
Comparison of physical and statistical models in predicting space-time decay of residual chlorine in water distribution system
(Kyambogo University[unpublished work], 2022-10)
Chlorine is the most widely used disinfectant in water distribution due to its efficacy,
ease of application, low cost and extended disinfection durability. The World Health
Organization recommends concentrations of ...
