Converting an ice storage facility to a chilled water system for energy efficiency on a deep level gold mine
(2015)The South African gold mining sector consumes 47% of the mining industry’s electricity. On a deep level gold mine, 20% of the energy is consumed by the refrigeration system. The refrigeration system cools 67 ˚C virgin rock ... -
Convexity structures in T₀-quasi-metric spaces and fixed point theorems
(North-West University (South Africa), 2014)In this MSc dissertation, we generalize the concept of convexity structures in metric spaces to the framework of quasi-pseudometric spaces. In the To-quasi-metric setting we explore various interesting additional conditions ... -
