Mechanical thermal stresses and creep analysis of boiler tubes
(Zimbabwe Institution of Engineers, 2016-02)
The boiler tubes are operated continuously at high temperature and pressure. Hence at high pressure for forces acting on the boiler tubes will be high. This research paper focuses on the analysis of one of the long term ...
Improving the management of operations at the “Office des Ports et RAdes du Gabon” (OPRAG): The road to achieve and sustain quality service delivery
(2016-09)
The industrial engineering development in the spite of globalisation and fast technological advancement has set an unprecedented challenge for business around the world. Hence, new business models and concepts came to life ...
Elasto-Plastic collapse analysis of pipe bends using finite element analysis
(2014)
When an external load is applied to one of its ends, a pipe’s bends cross section tends to deform significantly both in and out of its end plane. This shell type behaviour characteristic of pipe bends and mainly due to ...
Design of a crushing system that improves the crushing efficiency of gold ore at a local mine: Case of Zimbabwe
(2015)
Mining involves a number of processes which are useful in gold extraction. The processes involved are gravity concentrations, flotation, etc. are available for the extraction of gold metal from its ores. The common processes ...
A procedure for sizing pump-pipe systems with regard to minimising life cycle costs manageable on excel spreadsheets
(Zimbabwe Institution of Engineers, 2016-02)
Pump-pipeline systems are a common feature of every industry and account for about 20% of the world’s electrical energy demand. Pump and pipe selection should happen simultaneously in pump-pipe system design rather than ...
Design of a vehicle door structure based on finite element method.
(2014)
The performance of door assembly is very significant for the vehicle design. In the present paper, the finite element method is used in the development processes of the door assembly. The stiffness, strength, modal ...
