Description:

This volume of "International Journal of Engineering Research in Africa" collects peer-reviewed manuscripts reflecting the research results in the fields of composite materials with biobased reinforcements, the technology of hydroforming of sheet metal, power engineering and power control, technologies of the smart grid and microgrid, wastewater treatment, building materials and geotechnical engineering, fluid mechanics and heat transfer in the solar air heating system. The majority of engineers, academics, and students majoring in engineering science will appreciate this collection.

Description: The 55th volume of "International Journal of Engineering Research in Africa" is compiled from the peer-reviewed manuscripts that present the research results in applied and fluid flow mechanics, computational analysis of heat and mass transfer processes, and investigation of the chaotic systems. This volume also considered the conceptual model for mitigating security vulnerabilities in smart grid electric energy distribution systems. The last research results in materials science and materials processing technologies, anti-corrosive coating, biodiesel synthesis, wastewater treatment technologies, and waste recycling are presented.

Description:

The E|Home-Symposium bundles research in the field of energy-efficient and self-determined living through intelligent automation technology. Although energy efficiency plays the major role due to the goal of the European Union and the Federal Government of Germany to transform the energy system to one that heavily uses renewable energies, challenges stemming from demographic change and user acceptance are also addressed.

The papers have their origin in various research disciplines such as computer science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, medical science or social science and usually provide insight into an interdisciplinary research methodology spanning various disciplines. Following this approach it becomes possible to develop technical sound as well as highly usable solutions that have a significant and immediate effect in the application area. The scope of the conference considers smart homes that contribute to the generation, storage and distribution of energy as well as concepts for residential environments that provide comfort, security, infotainment and medical support.
