Natural-convection solar tunnel dryers capable of achieving greater drying rates when drying products. The increased temperature decreases the relative humidity of the air, thereby allowing the air to more efficiently dry the product. However, it is necessary to provide an appropriate solar air...

This dissertation evaluates the performance of routing protocols such as OSPF, EIGRP and IS-IS in an enterprise network. Routing protocols are rules that govern the best route to transfer data between various nodes in an internetwork. These networks are then used in the transmission of...

The study investigated poor learner performance in mathematics at grade 12 level at Secondary School A. The study adopts a Mixed Method Approach by employing the Convergent Parallel Design. The target population comprised all stakeholders in the provision of secondary education including...

Zambia, like many other third world countries is experiencing unprecedented population growth of cities and towns. This is evidenced through the rate of urban growth, Chongwe district is no exception. Chongwe district is developing at a fast rate due to over population in Lusaka. The total number...

Solid waste management is a large and growing problem for countries in the developing world and is often a neglected aspect of urban management. Poor waste management can contribute to the impact of urban flooding by blocking drainages and increasing debris. However, information is lacking on the...

Groundwater is one of the most valuable natural resources, which supports human health, economic development and ecological diversity. More than half of the households in Barotse Floodplain and surrounding areas depend on groundwater as the main source of portable water supply. A groundwater...

Access to electricity is one of the main drivers in the process of sustainable development. Access to energy transforms the lives of people, communities, and nations. The main issue facing developing countries is the lack of access to affordable and reliable electricity supply for their...

Climate change has greatly affected Zambia’s hydropower production. This has contributed to reduced amounts of electricity being injected into the utility grid. Zambia has therefore embarked on igniting different solar energy initiatives. However, no critical study has been done to document the...

The Solar mini-grid initiatives aim to provide access to electricity to rural and remote areas which are currently not connected to the national grid. However, the implementation of solar mini-grids in Zambia presents challenges and therefore understanding the success factors and challenges of...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the use Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) in predicting water demand in Lusaka City. The specific objective was to analyse the spatial distribution of water demand in the city, examine spatial relationships between water demand and its predictors and...
