(Pushpa Publishing House, 2013-10-01)
This paper looks at water hammer with an emphasis on the number of branches. The mathematics of water hammer are described in a transient condition. This includes the momentum and continuity equations for conduits. A ...
Modelling Stratified Flow in an Inclined Flow Channel with a Bend
(International Scientific Press, 2013-07-01)
Multi-phase flows modelling in wellbore has always been a problem to the petroleum and many other industries. In the petroleum industry, correlations are presently in use, most of which are obsolete as their application ...
On the Solution of Confined Aquifer Flow Equations: Finite Difference Approximations
(Hikari Ltd, 2013)
In general, groundwater flow in porous media on a microscopic level is three-dimensional. However, when considering regional flow problems ie groundwater flow on a macroscopic level, it is noted that because of the low ...
Weak Solution of the Singular Cauchy Problem of Euler-Poisson-Darboux Equation for n= 4
(2013)
We consider the singular Cauchy problem of Euler-Poisson-Darboux equation (EPD) of the form utt+ k t ut=∇ 2u u (x, 0)= f (x), ut (x, 0)= 0 where∇ 2 is the Laplacian operator in R n, n will refer to dimension and k a real ...
Markov model for bamboo harvest forecasting in South Nyanza region, Kenya
(IDRC, 2013)
The Markov model applied to bamboo growth and harvest helps determine expected harvest, given survival probabilities at various stages of bamboo growth. The introduction of bamboo in South Nyanza region in Kenya as an ...
Changes in agro-biodiversity as a result of sugarcane farming in mumias division, western Kenya
(Academic Journals, 2013-07-26)
Sugarcane farming is a monocultural land use practice which often leads to reduction in agro-biodiversity. In Mumias division sugarcane is cultivated under small scale, large scale and nuclear estate. The study was carried ...

pains as well as inflammatory disorders, biological studies on its stem bark ...
Root-Fusion Characteristic of Eucalyptus Trees Block Gully Development
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-08-28)
Soil erosion by water resulting in gully formation is a common occurrence in western Kenya. Establishment of local and sustainable countermeasures to prevent gully development/expansion in western Kenya is an urgent issue. ...
