Effluents from industries frequently contain a variety of chromium ions such as hexavalent chromium and trivalent chromium which can adversely pose threats to terrestrial and aquatic life. Hexavalent chromium is more toxic than trivalent chromium thus need to be removed from effluents. Adsorption is a water and wastewater treatment technology which...
Product quality determines how well a product meets the customer’s requirements. One way of measuring and ensuring that the product’s quality is achieved is through incorporating the functional analysis approach in the design process of the product, especially at early stage of lifecycle. A case study involving the design of a dual axis solar track...
Solar energy is an abundant and clean resource. However, solar energy applications face the main dual challenges of low efficiency and high capital investment due to complexity in design. To mitigate low efficiencies, electro-mechanical trackers that follow the sun path to enhance reception of solar energy are used. Usually these devices are comple...
The use of solar energy is in the upswing due to its environmental friendliness and abundance. That notwithstanding, efficiency remains a major problem in many of the applications. Mitigation is normally in the form of tracking systems. This paper therefore investigates dual axis solar tracking systems from two dimensions. Firstly, a review of exta...
