The design of a water quality management system for Nigerian rivers (1993)
Thesis
Onuoha, A. The design of a water quality management system for Nigerian rivers. (Thesis). University of Salford

There is an intricate relationship between water quantity and quality, development, human health and welfare, and aquatic life. Water availability is, however, variable in location and time. The increase in human populations and various anthropo... Read More about The design of a water quality management system for Nigerian rivers.

An investigation of the heat transfer in an electrically heated tubular wire strand furnace (1993)
Thesis
Massey, J. An investigation of the heat transfer in an electrically heated tubular wire strand furnace. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis investigates the heat transfer involved in the heating of wire in an Electrically-Heated Tubular Strand Annealing Furnace. The fundamental concepts of the furnace are explained, followed by the rationale behind the basic design of the fur...

A knowledge-based approach to modelling fast response catchments (1993)
Thesis
Wedgwood, O. A knowledge-based approach to modelling fast response catchments. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis describes research in to flood forecasting on rapid response catchments, using knowledge based principles. Extensive use was made of high resolution single site radar data from the radar site at Hameldon Hill in North West England. Actual...

Technical factors influencing decisions to recommend underpinning of low-rise buildings on shrinkable clay (1993)
Thesis
Wilkin, D. Technical factors influencing decisions to recommend underpinning of low-rise buildings on shrinkable clay. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Foundations to buildings which fail, are frequently underpinned and since 1971 when house insurers began to offer cover for damage due to "subsidence", the underpinning industry has grown to enjoy a multi-million pound turnover. Much of England sou... Read More about Technical factors influencing decisions to recommend underpinning of low-rise buildings on shrinkable clay.

The environmental impact of hospital waste incinerators (1993)
Thesis
Jafari Mosavi, S. The environmental impact of hospital waste incinerators. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis makes a study of the environmental impact of waste incineration and particularly of hospital waste incineration. Literature relevant to the topic is discussed. The environmental impact of the incineration process itself and the differ... Read More about The environmental impact of hospital waste incinerators.

Amorphous metal cores in medium frequency power transformer (1993)
Thesis
Razaz, M. Amorphous metal cores in medium frequency power transformer. (Thesis). University of Salford

Theoretical designs have been carried out which demonstrate the possible weight and volume reductions to be obtained when using amorphous metal in place of silicon-iron for the core material in medium frequency power transformers. The amorphous m... Read More about Amorphous metal cores in medium frequency power transformer.
