Household Energy Choice in Kenya: An Empirical Analysis of the Energy Ladder Hypothesis

This paper investigates the odd ratio of selecting clean verses unclean source of energy as the main household fuel choice in urban areas using logistic functions through modelling of a binary dependent variable. Also, the research examines the important determinants of household fuel choice in urban Kenya. The data was obtained from KIPPRA’s data set on patterns of fuel use in Kenya. The study analysis was informed by energy ladder hypothesis and consumer behavior theory as the theoretical...

Household Fuel Choice in Urban Kenya: a Multinomial Logit Analysis

This study applied a logistic regression model to determine the odds ratio of selecting clean ver-sus unclean energy as the main household fuel choice. This study also undertook to establish the coefficients of the factors determining household fuel energy choice. A large microeconomic dataset from KIPPRA’s comprehensive study and analysis on fuel use patterns in Kenya (2010) was employed to carry out the analysis. This study employed a multinomial logit regression mod-el to determine the f...

A beautiful process of work which is capable of turning the normal moment into a lifelong memory

Production of Lead-Acid Battery

ABSTRACT This project titled “the production of lead-acid battery” for the production of a 12v antimony battery for automobile application. The battery is used for storing electrical charges in the form of chemical energy releasing the energy as electrical energy when needed. It is a rechargeable battery that supplies electrical energy for Starting-Lighting-Ignition (SLT) system. The process involve in the procurement of the various parts viz electrodes, the lead grid panels, propylene co...

Design and Analysis of Wireless Nanogrid for Non-Smartphones

ABSTRACT This research work designs a wireless power transfer system (WPT) for non smart phones as an alternative to existing wired power supply systems for these devices. Initially, the general concept of known WPT systems and methods are introduced and reviewed. It was noted that most existing WPT models do not consider external interferences in their design even though, it is well known that high frequency circuits may interfere with a WPT system. Additionally till date, existing WPT syste...

Machine learning techniques for quality control in manufacturing environment

v> In the present exceptionally serious worldwide market, winning expects close wonderful quality. Albeit most mature associations work their cycles at exceptionally low imperfections per million open doors, clients expect totally deformity free goad ucts. Thus, the brief location of interesting quality occasions has turned into an issue of fundamental significance and a chance for assembling organizations to push quality norms ahead. This article presents the educational experience ...

Artificial Intelligence in Aero Industry

AI has as of late tracked down numerous applications in aviation and remote detecting. These applications range from predisposition rectification to recovery calculations, from code speed increase to identification of illness in crops. As a wide subfield of computerized reasoning, AI is worried about calculations and methods that permit PCs to "learn". The significant focal point of AI is to extricate data from information consequently by computational and measurable techniques. Over th...

Comparative Study of Buildings Using Flat and Regular Slabs

In this study, the structural investigation and design of the G+ 12 building with a flat slab as well as a regular slab were accomplished. The project was initiated by performing a literature study regarding the building design by utilising different books and articles. Them, the design attributes, equipment, and materials were chosen for the design of the proposed buildings. The building models having flat slabs and regular slabs were generated by employing the ETABS program. After that, the...

Assessment of Sustainable Eco-Friendly Green Building Structures and Its Promotion in Kampala

ABSTRACT The construction industry consumes about forty percent of the world’s energy. The high increasing rate of construction activities has led to exploitation of most of the natural resources. These activities have led to massive deforestation and clearing of green cover for settlement and infrastructure development in Kampala. The repercussions of these activities are catastrophic such as poor air quality, urban heat island effect, toxic gas emission, increased cooling costs, which lat...

Exergy Analysis of Combined Cycle Power Plant (GARRI”2” 180 MW)

ABSTRACT In recent years the entire world is a warring about energy resources limitation, specifically Sudan country confronts critical crises in fossil fuel resources and yet more of electricity energy producing from fired thermal power plants. One from these plants Garri”2” combined cycle producing about 180MW. Exergy analysis in the light second law of thermodynamics is powerful tools to investigate from optimization of engineering devices. Exergy analysis has been carried out analytic...

Simulation of 3D Car Painting Robotic Arm

ABSTRACT Robotic is an electromechanical system, help improve production accuracy, and reduces time and increase production. In this project a study of 3D robotic ARM design, simulation concepts and theories for the painting of cars that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots is conducted. The simulation covers different parameters to evaluate the design. Moreover simulation environment help to test these parameters cost effectiveness of building robots and ...

Design and Simulation of a Control System for a Center Pivot Irrigation Device

Abstract In the agricultural projects that use the center pivot irrigation system, which depends on the groundwater wells as a source of water using turbine pumps, which are actuated by internal combustion engines, the suspension of the center pivot irrigation device on the movement when a malfunction occurs with its continuous flow of water is a big problem and waste water, fuel and time, It also damages some crops that are heavily affected by water,this research studies the design of an aut...

Development and Application of Cleaner Production in Rural Tanneries

Abstract Sudanese rural tanning is an inherited craft. The methods and the indigenous materials employed by the rural tanners have remained unchanged for a long time. This is due to poverty, illiteracy, poor communications and lack of access to modern scientific technologies of leather production. As a result, the leathers produced by rural tanners are hard, crusty, liable to crack, tear. Moreover, the process period is long. The objective of the study is to investigate the possibilities of a...

In this thesis the Variable Frequency Derive control the speed of 3-phase induction motor based on programmable logic controller and supervisory control and data acquisition technology. An implementation of a hardware and software for speed control, direction control, parameter monitoring on supervisory control and data acquisition screen is also provided. tank filling ,bottle filling and capping system ...

A Computer Model for Irrigation Water Indenting and Optimization of Minor Canal Operation

ABSTRACT This study was carried out with objectives of developing a proper decision aid for irrigation indenting of multiple crop rotation based on Penman- Montieth equation( 1994) and amenable for the format of meteorological data of the Sudan. Consequently the study developed a mathematical simulation of canal operation for the purpose of optimization of water allocation within such a canal. Linear programming algorithm was made to optimize irrigation water allocation between different outl...
