On line determination of thermophysical properties in an absorption calorimeter
(University of Nairobi, 1997)A Microsoft FORTRAN 77 algorithm for calculation of the thermal absorptance and emittance of materials for solar photothermal applications is presented. It replaces the Mathematica software package used for an earlier paper ... -
The Influence Of Meteorological Parameters On Indoor Radon In Selected Traditional Kenyan Dwellings
(University of Nairobi, 2009)The effects of outdoor temperature, rainfall and wind speed on the indoor radon concentration in four types of traditional hut in Kenya were investigated by performing short-term (about 48 h) measurements with activated ... -
The Experimental And Calculated Optical Properties Of Coatings Using Effective Medium Theories
(University of Nairobi, 1997)he optical constants of RF planar magnetron sputtered films are reported for the 0.3 - 2.5 wavelength range. The data are interpreted in terms of Maxwell-Garnett and Bruggeman effective medium theories. The effect of atomic Ni -
