Analysis of innovative leadership and sustainability of SMEs in the Western Cape Province, South Africa
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2012)
Over the years, many organisations are constantly under extreme pressure for their survival and sustainability due to globalization, rapid pace of technological innovation and growing knowledge of their customers. Leaders ...
Membrane bioreactor application within the South African textile industry: pilot to full-scale
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2013)
To date, limited information has been published on textile wastewater treatment, for re-use, in South Africa (SA), with treatment processes focusing on conventional wastewater treatment methods. A large contributor to the ...
Solvent dependent growth of one-dimensional crystalline ß-FeOOH nanorods
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2014)
Several authors have reported on the use of alcohols – water /or mixed solvents to synthesise metal oxide
nanoparticles. However, no systematic study has been carried out to evaluate the effect of mixed solvent
on the ...
Analysis laminar flow, thermal stability, and entropy generation in porous channel
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2013)
Fluid flow through a porous channel and cylindrical pipe walls are important area
of research due to its wide applications in transpiration cooling, gaseous diffusion
technology, cooling of rocket, mechanized irrigation ...
Development of decomposition methods for solution of a multiarea power dispatch optimisation problem
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2013)
The objective of the economic dispatch problem of electrical power generation is to schedule the committed generating unit outputs to meet the required load demand while satisfying the system equality and inequality ...
Performance evaluation and improvement of grid-connected technology
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2012)
The confluence of the limited resources of fossil fuels (e.g. coal, oil and natural gas), environmental degradations leading to climate change, security of supplies and fossil fuels high costs have demanded a tremendous ...
Modelling the optimal efficiency of industrial labour force in the presence of HIV/AIDs pandemic
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2012)
In this thesis, we investigate certain key aspects of mathematical modelling to explain the epidemiology of HIV/AIDS at the workplace and to assess the potential benefits of proposed control strategies. Deterministic models ...
Laminar flow in a channel filled with saturated porous media
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2013)
The flow of reactive viscous fluids in porous media presents a theoretically challenging problem
and has a broad range of scientific, technological and engineering applications. Real life areas
where such flow systems ...
Analysis of greenhouse gas emission from reactive materials and its thermodynamics
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2013)
The environment is polluted by many gases of which carbon dioxide is one of them and unfortunately during the emission of carbon dioxide, oxygen, which is very important for keeping all species alive, is depleted. Increased ...
Analysis of hydromagnetic boundary layer flow and heat transfer of nanofluids
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2014)
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow of an electrically conducting viscous incompressible fluid with a convective surface boundary condition is frequently encountered in many industrial and technological applications ...
