PSPICE model of an open-circuit DC shunt machine
(University of Botswana, 2000)
Computer models are used to replicate the essential performance features of a physical element using convenient modeling and simulation programs. Within SPICE, an acronym for the Simulation Program with Integrated-Circuit ...
Oxide of nitrogen in diesel engines: formation, effects and control
(University of Botswana, 2001)
Diesel engines are used in heavy duty applications because of their high effeciency an reliability. However, oxides of nitrogen emissions remain a major concern. In diesel engines, fuel combustion is responsible for a major ...
A practical model for development of viable engineering education institutions in Africa: With a focus on management and quality of engineering education
(University of Botswana, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, http://ajol.info/index.php/bjt, 2001-10)
One of the critical elements that determine the competitiveness of nations is the population density of, and quality of, its engineers. This view has been corroborated by researchers such as Bilich (1989), Garelli et al ...
Towards a systems approach to sustainable development
(University of Botswana, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, http://ajol.info/index.php/bjt, 2003-04)
“Sustainable development” as a concept was popularised by a 1987 report of the United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development. The report defined sustainable development as “development that meets the needs ...
A fourier method of determining the speed fluctuation coefficient of a general slideer-crank mechanism
(University of Botswana, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, http://ajol.info/index.php/bjt, 2001-10)
In this paper a method is presented which enables the solution of the equation of motion of the slider-crank mechanism. Expansion of functions into Fourier series is used in this method, whereby the solution of the equation ...

(University of Botswana, www.ub.bw, 2001)
One of the critical elements that determine the competitiveness of nations is the population density of, and quality of its engineers. This view has been corroborated by researchers such as Biluch (1989), Garelli et al ...
Coupled buckling design of steel laced columns
(University of Botswana, 2009)
A new design developed by the authors that gives an opportunity to account for the interaction of different modes of buckling is presented.Eurocode 3 model is used as the reference model, an equivalent geometric imperfection ...
Engineering education in Botswana
(Tempus Publications http://www.ijee.ie/, 2002)
The economy of Botswana has grown rapidly since it became independent in 1966, but the
population is only 1.7 million. Engineering construction projects are of large scale. The University of Botswana offers engineering ...
