Cost of Electricity Interruption to Commercial and Industrial End-Users by Akpeji, Kingsley Oladipo

“…The results showed that the TVPIC model is more effective for describing CIC as it accounts for the time-dependencies and uncertainty in CIC estimates. …”

Assessing the sensitivity to climate change of the Berg River Voelvlei abstraction system, Western Cape Province, South Africa by Rabakali, Takalani

“…This study aims to assess the reliability of the BRVAS to climate change. The two research questions for this study were as follows: (1) Given that the previous BRVAS reliability calculations made use of abstraction simulations using the earlier dry period of 1968-1972, would simulations using a period that spans the more severe 2015-2018 drought have the potential to alter the calculated reliability of the scheme? …”

Geometric and numerical optimisation of single- and two-phase convective heat transfer in microchannel heat sinks by Ariyo, David Olugbenga

“…Velocities from 0.1-0.5 to 6.5-7.0 m/s and heat fluxes between 100 and 1200 W/cm2 (1x106 W/m2 and 1.2x107 W/m2) were considered in the modelling and optimisation procedures. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, ANSYS (heat flux partitioning model and goal driven optimisation tool) was used for the simulations and optimisations of the microchannel heat sink configurations. …”

Efficient redundancy in wired and wireless S2A architectures for NCS by Toubar, Medhat Medhat

“…It is first shown that this NCS succeeds in meeting all control system requirements (zero packet loss and bounded end-to-end delay). Reliability models are then developed to help designers choose the appropriate mix of fault-tolerant techniques in order to maximize lifetime while at the same time minimizing the extra cost due to the added redundancy.…”
