    • The conceptual design and development of a micro gas turbine generator 

      Steyn, Matthys Miechielse (North-West University, 2006)
      All over the world interest in small scale stand alone power generators is growing. This interest is motivated by lower electrical costs and/or the capability to be unaffected by power failures and blackouts that could ...

    • Design and evaluation of a vibration ore flow restore machine 

      Meiring, B.J. (North-West University (South Africa), 2021)
      Ore passes provide a low cost method for gravitational transport of broken ore and waste rock through long vertical distances to lower levels of an underground mine. A hang-up or blockage in an ore pass is undesirable as ...

    • Feasibility of commercial maritime nuclear propulsion 

      Marais, Johannes Francois (North-West University, 2009)
      The goal of this study is to make the unique benefits of modern nuclear technology available to a wider sphere. The basic hypothesis is that the time is ripe to re-investigate nuclear propulsion for commercial shipping. ...

    • Mathematical modeling of leakage flow through labyrinth seals 

      Joubert, Stephanus Lourens (North-West University, 2003)
      Optimization of gas turbine systems has identified the need for simplified mathematical models to calculate the losses experienced within turbo machines. One such loss is that of the flow through labyrinth seals. As part ...
