OPTIMIZATION OF HYBRID CYCLONE IN REDUCTION OF PARTICULATE FLY ASH IN SUGAR INDUSTRIES IN KENYA
(MMUST, 2024-10)The sugar industry in Kenya faces growing environmental and regulatory pressure due to fly ash emissions from bagasse-fired boilers. Traditional single-stage cyclone separators currently employed in these facilities ... -
OPTIMIZATION OF BIOGAS PURIFICATION USING WATER-SCRUBBING TECHNOLOGY FOR ENHANCED GAS QUALITY
(MMUST, 2025-11)Biogas has been found to be a green source of power. It consists majorly of methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and water vapour. Use of biogas has never reached its potential with the problem ... -
OPTIMAL SIZING AND ANALYSIS OF A SUSTAINABLE SOLAR PHOTO VOLTAIC-BIOMASS HYBRID ENERGY SYSTEM FOR LEARNING INSTITUTIONS
(MMUST, 2025-08)Access to quality energy is a necessity for the growing world. There is an increasing demand for clean and quality energy due to the ever-growing world population and development of new technologies. However, energy ... -
DETERMINATION OF COMBUSTION PROPERTIES OF BLENDED BRIQUETTES OF SAWDUST, MAIZE STALKS, AND COFFEE HUSKS
(MMUST, 2025-11)The tea industry in Kericho is among the main consumers of firewood for its intensive thermal energy demand used in industrial steam boilers. Concerns over firewood depletion have led tea producers to switch to alternate ... -
TRANSIENT AND STEADY-STATE STABILITY ANALYSIS OF SOLAR PV- WIND GRID-TIE HYBRID SYSTEM
(MMUST, 2025-08)The global energy landscape is rapidly evolving towards increased reliance on renewable energy sources, driven by concerns over climate change and the finite nature of fossil fuels. However, the integration of variable ... -
MACHINE LEARNING BASED SPECTRUM SENSING FOR INTERFERENCE REDUCTION IN 5G COGNITIVE RADIO NETWORKS
(MMUST, 2025-09)The rapid increase in global population has driven a surge in users of radio technology, leading to a shortage of available frequency spectrum for wireless systems. To optimize the use of limited spectrum, secondary ... -
SIMULATION OF WATER SUPPLY AND DEMAND IN KIPKAREN RIVER SUB-CATCHMENT OF UPPER NZOIA CATCHMENT
(MMUST, 2025-07)Water allocation and planning have faced significant challenges globally, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, where rapid population growth, climate change, and insufficient infrastructure exacerbate existing pressures. ... -
EFFECTS OF LAND COVER ON GROUNDWATER DYNAMICS IN MIDDLE YALA CATCHMENT, KENYA
(MMUST, 2024-10)Groundwater depletion is on an increasing trend. Soil moisture content plays a major role in plant growth, nutrient transport, and oxygen balance. Assessment of soil water balance is crucial for understanding water ... -
EFFECT OF GLASS POWDER ON DURABILITY PERFORMANCE OF HARDENED CONCRETE IN AGGRESSIVE ENVIRONMENT
(MMUST, 2025-10)Concrete structures exposed to aggressive environment such as sewer water, sea fronts, drains among others are susceptible to abrasion, chemical seepage among other factors that lead to its deterioration. To mitigate ... -
STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF TIMBER SPECIES FOR ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS IN KENYA
(MMUST, 2025-08)Timber has been a key material in construction for centuries, offering strength, durability, and versatility. In Kakamega County, Kenya, both indigenous and exotic timber species are used in construction, with cypress ... -
