A one–dimensional multi–group collision probability code for neutron transport analysis and criticality calculations
(North-West University, 2012)
This work develops a one dimensional, slab geometry, multigroup collision probability code named
Oklo which solves both criticality calculations and fixed source problems. The code uses the classical
collision probabilities ...
Modelling of fission product release from TRISO fuel during accident conditions : benchmark code comparison
(North-West University, 2011)
This document gives an overview of the proposed MSc study. The main goal of the study is to model the cases listed in the code benchmark study of the International Atomic Energy Agency CRP–6 fuel performance study (Verfondern ...
An optimisation approach to improve the throughput in wireless mesh networks through network coding
(North-West University, 2011)
In this study, the effect of implementing Network Coding on the aggregated throughput in Wireless Mesh Networks, was examined. Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are multiple hop wireless networks, where routing through any ...
An energy efficient mass transportation model for Gauteng
(North-West University, 2011)
Public transportation in South Africa is characterized by little or no consideration for energy efficiency and use of cleaner fuels. In the case of transport planning in South African cities, no assessment of the economic ...
Considerations for the implementation of the radio interferometric positioning system on a single wireless node
(North-West University, 2011)
The ability to localise objects and persons is a useful ability, that is currently used in everyday life in the form of Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation. Localisation is also useful in data networks. The ability ...
Effective automatic speech recognition data collection for under–resourced languages
(North-West University, 2011)
As building transcribed speech corpora for under–resourced languages plays a pivotal role in developing automatic speech recognition (ASR) technologies for such languages, a key step in developing these technologies is the ...
Improved gold recovery by accelerated gravity separation
(North-West University, 2011)
This project was specifically aimed at using increased acceleration separation, as a method to optimize the recovery of gold in an ore body mainly consisting of hematite. The specific gravity of gold is much higher in ...
A comparison of catalyst application techniques for membrane electrode assemblies in SO2 depolarized electrolysers
(North-West University, 2011)
Hydrogen production via the electrolysis of water has gained a lot of attention in the last couple of years. Research related to electrolysers is mostly aimed towards decreasing the noble–metal catalyst content.
In this ...
Design of an energy management system utilizing optimum energy consumption of a distribution level microgrid
(2016)
Currently within South Africa, net-metering policies are not yet widely implemented which hinders the adoption of residential microgrids. Without proper net-metering policies in place, the benefits of residential microgrids ...
Quantifying the cost of pump efficiency decay on the Department of Water and Sanitation
(North-West University (South Africa) , Potchefstroom Campus, 2017)
By analysing the usage of water in South Africa, together with the energy consumption from pumps in the industry, it is easy to identify a problem. A need exists in determining what influence the decay in efficiency of ...
