A Review on Computational Fluid Dynamics Applications in the Design and Optimization of Crossflow Hydro Turbines
(Hindawi, 2021-10-15)
In recent years, advances in using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software have greatly increased due to its great potential to
save time in the design process compared to experimental testing for data acquisition. ...
Capacitive Deionization for the Removal of Paraquat Herbicide from Aqueous Solution
(Hindawi, 2021-10-08)
In comparison to other conventional methods like adsorption and reverse osmosis (RO), capacitive deionization (CDI) has only been investigated extensively for the removal of inorganic pollutants from water, demonstrating ...
Clustering and Fuzzy Logic-Based Demand-Side Management for Solar Microgrid Operation: Case Study of Ngurudoto Microgrid, Arusha, Tanzania
(Hindawi, 2021-02-15)
Permanent electricity availability should not be taken for granted since grid sustainability and reliability are at stake when there is no balance between supply and demand. This paper employs a load balancing demand-side ...
Evaluating Soil Carbon as a Proxy for Erosion Risk in the Spatio-Temporal Complex Hydropower Catchment in Upper Pangani, Northern Tanzania
(MDPI, 2021-10-15)
Land use conversion is generally accompanied by large changes in soil organic carbon
(SOC). SOC influences soil erodibility through its broad control on aggregate stability, soil structure
and infiltration capacity. ...
Structural characterization of cassava linamarase-linamarin enzyme complex: an integrated computational approach
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2021-05-21)
Cassava linamarase is a hydrolyzing enzyme that belongs to a glycoside hydrolase family 1 (GH1). It is responsible for breaking down linamarin to toxic cyanide. The enzyme provides a defensive mechanism for plants against ...
Analysis of Macro- and Microplastics in Riverine, Riverbanks, and Irrigated Farms in Arusha, Tanzania
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2021-11-16)
Microplastics and macroplastics have been reported in different urban rivers and agricultural soil across the globe. However, the interlink between them has not been previously assessed. The present study evaluated the ...
Managing non-revenue water in Mwanza, Tanzania: A fast-growing sub-Saharan African city
(Elsevier Ltd., 2021-07)
High non-revenue water (NRW) and unreliable water supply services are major challenges
in operations of the water infrastructure of most fast-growing cities in developing coun-
tries. In this study, an analysis of the ...
Impacts of Wood Fuel Uses on Forest Cover: The Case of Semiarid Areas in Northern Tanzania
(University of Dar es Salaam, 2021)
Satellite images for the years 1987, 1997, 2002 and 2017, and questionnaire surveys were used to
assess energy sources and demands as well as the impacts of wood fuel use to forest cover changes
in Meru and Mwanga ...
Sources of Nitrate in Ground Water Aquifers of the Semiarid Region of Tanzania
(Hindawi, 2021)
Nitrate isotopic values are often used as a tool to identify sources of nitrate in order to effectively manage ground water quality. In this study, the concentrations of NO3−, NO2−, and NH4+ from 50 boreholes and shallow ...
Assessment of fluoride removal in a batch electrocoagulation process: A case study in the Mount Meru Enclave.
(Elseiver, 2021-03-01)
The presence of excessive amounts of fluoride than prescribed standards has been reported
in various sources of domestic water supply around the slopes of Mount Meru and other
parts in Tanzania. Efforts to remove the ...
