Implementation of a proprietary CAD graphics subsystem using the GKS standard interface.
(1989)
This project involved porting a Graphical Software Package (GSP) from
the proprietary IDS-BO Gerber CAD system onto a more modern computer that
would allow student access for further study and development. Because of the ...
Combustion stress in compression-ignition engines.
(1989)
South Africa produces alternative fuels from a number of different
sources. The properties of a fuel are known to affect the nature
of combustion in compression-ignition engines significantly, and
have occasionally ...
Modelling and analysis of turbogenerators in single machine and multi- machine subsynchronous resonance studies.
(1987)
Subsynchronous Resonance (SSR) is a condition which occurs when
turbogenerators are connected to series capacitively compensated
transmission systems and it can cause large scale damage to the
turbogenerators. The ...
Numerical alogrithms for PWM modulators.
(1989)
The development of a simple efficient Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) modulator has
been a goal for many research workers. In general three techniques have been used,
namely; the analogue triangular wave technique; the use ...
A social geography of Merebank, with special reference to access and amenities.
(1983)
The main aim of this study is to provide a social geography of one of the less privileged communities in South Africa. The township of
Merebank, about 15 km west of Durban was chosen as the study area.In order to assess ...
Mass violence in Durban's settlements in the 1980s.
(1989)
The focus of this study is on the occurrence of mass violence in Durban's settlements in the 1980s. Mass violence is defined as the violent reaction of crowds against targets, which may be people and/or objects - for example ...
An Epidemiological study of gentamicin resistant gram negative bacteria with particular reference to pseudomonas aeruginosa at King Edward V111 Hospital, Durban
(1985)
The sources of gentamicin resistant pseudomonads and enterobacteria
were studied in detail. A total of 1703 gentamicin resistant gram negative
bacilli (GRGNB) isolated from patients, staff and their immediate environment ...
Gas residence time testing and model fitting : a study of gas-solids contacting in fluidised beds.
(1984)
This work is concerned with the effect of vessel geometry on
the hydrodynamics of fluidisation of a bed of milled iron oxide.
The effect of going from a cold model representative of a typical
pilot plant reactor to one ...
Design and operation of a multistage pressurized fluidized bed combuster.
(1981)
A three-stage Pressurized Fluidized Bed Combustor (PFBC) of
principal dimensions, O,4Sm internal diameter by4m high was designed
and fabricated to burn South African coals, with particular reference
to coals unsuitable ...
Rents and urban political geography, the case of Lamontville.
(1986)
This research project explores the relevance of the available urban political geographic literature to understanding mobilization that occurred in opposition to rent increases,and the proposed alteration of a
national ...
