Design and construct a mobile water sprinkler for a farm.
(2019-06-13)
The primary aim for this report was to design and construct a mobile water sprinkler for a farm. The project included selecting appropriate wheels for the sprinkler, sizing and selection of geared motor that can the system, ...
Improvement of shutdown scheduling to reduce energy not served on the MV network
(Kampala, Makerere University, 2019-07-05)
This paper presents an algorithm that helps to determine the best times to carry out planned
shutdowns on the network within a specific year for maintenance so as to reduce on the Energy
Not Served (ENS) while at the ...
Evaluation of coconut oil as a metal working fluid
(Makerere University, 2019-06-13)
The cutting fluids are responsible for reducing heat at tool work interface, reducing the cutting force, easy chip removal, high material removal rate (MRR), lubrication improvement between tool and work piece and thereby ...
Simulation of a drone flight on a beach
(Makerere University, 2019)
Drones also known as unmanned aerial vehicles/ systems (UAVs/UAS) were initially created for military purposes in the 90s. However their evolution has expanded to other fields to apply in areas such as photography, videography ...
Designing a low cost conditioned monitoring system for predictive maintenance for an Industrial Plant
(2019-05-29)
Existing maintenance strategies, corrective and preventive, are inadequate in reducing downtime. Downtime remains one of the biggest problems faced by the industrial sector, which contributes a
good percentage to Uganda’s ...
Design and implementation of a ground control station of an unmanned aerial vehicle for agricultural applications in Uganda
(Makerere University, 2019)
This study examined the importance of a ground control station (GCS) for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to be used by farmers in Kasese and Kiboga districts. The cost of constructing a UAV is high which makes it an expensive ...
Developing a De-silting plan for the Lubigi Drainage Channel.
(2019-05-21)
The Lubigi Drainage Channel is heavily silted with sediments which have choked the channel and reduced its discharge capacity resulting in frequent flooding of the surrounding areas during periods of heavy rains. The main ...
Assessing the viability of industrial production of Bio Binders in Sub-Saharan Africa (Case study - Uganda)
(Makerere University, 2019-05-18)
This study assessed the viability of industrial production of bio binders on the African continent. Rice Husk Ash was taken as the bio binder due to its high silica content. More so rice husks pose a disposal challenge ...
An IOT Proof of Concept for Black Tea Production and Quality Monitoring.
(Makerere University, 2019-07-01)
The production of tea in African tea factories relies on human sensory analysis to determine
optimum fermentation levels to produce customer desired tea grades. This process is subject to errors of omission resulting ...
The development of delay Torelant routing protocols for android based-devices.
(Makerere University, 2019)
Delay-tolerant networks (DTNs) are those which allow communication in highly stressed
environments characterised by frequent intermittent connections, limited node resources
and dynamic topologies. For nodes to communicate, ...
