Message from the Vice-Chancellor & Principal

On behalf of the Community of the Vaal University of

Technology, I would like to salute and congratulate all

the graduands for achieving their hard-earned mile-

stone in their academic journey. It is time you can

proudly say to yourself: “I have made it, no matter how

challenging and tiring the journey was.”

In your success which lies ahead, never forget those who

sacrificed everything in their life to make it possible for

you. Most of all, never forget the source of your strength

and wisdom when thanking all the people that carried

you and made you who you are today. Give yourself

time to say: Thank you father God for being with me all

the way.

I believe you have the potential to be leaders in your

area of choice as you graduate today. I quote Leo

Buscaglia as he emphasizes the essence of ethics in

Leadership when he says:

• “You alone can bring magic – and humour, and

joy to the people you encounter;

• Anything you dream, by the very nature that

you can dream it, makes it possible;

• The purpose of life is to help others and if you

can’t help them, would you at least not hurt

them!

• You can make things happen that you never

thought you could!

• The greatest risk in life is to risk nothing. The per-

son who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing

and is nothing;

• To be is to do – and to do is to do now because

tomorrow might not be there;

• You have everything you need to be so much …

don’t settle for less!

• There is no end to human potential – and there’s

so much more to learn;

• The time for action is now – and only you can

make the difference!”

The role of ethics in Service Excellence and in Corporate

Governance is well articulated and captured in an ar-

ticle by Professor Solly Banator which appeared in the

Cape Times of the 14 February 2006, in which he opined:

“Professionals play, an important role in society. Indeed,

society could not function effectively without trustworthy

professionals. This raises questions about the ethics of

how institutions operate and exert influence on those

who work within them. In the face of the powerful forc-

es eroding professionalism, there is a great need to pro-

mote core professional values”.

I would like to bring your attention to the “Good Ethical

Practice, Ethics stipulated in a Handbook for Faculty and

Staff at the University Illinois, 5th Edition” (p4), which de-

scribes the value of embracing ethics as follows:

“Apply ETHICS in every aspect of your life to attain the

RESPECT and TRUST of others. Keep in mind the VALUES

this institution represents, and act with INTEGRITY and

HONESTY at all times when representing the University of

Illinois. Together, we can achieve great RESULTS”

In conclusion, I wish to encourage all of you here today,

to think dearly about making a contribution that will im-

prove and develop your nation in whatever area of your

life, hence elevating and promoting the status of your

beloved country from one level to the next as follows:

From Good to Better

From Better to Great

From Great to Awesome

From Awesome to Auspicious

From Auspicious to Ostentatious

From Ostentatious to Fantastic

From Fantastic to Fabulous

From Fabulous to Remarkable

From Remarkable to Incredible

From Incredible to Magnificent

From Magnificent to Majestic

From Majestic to Splendid

From Splendid to Spectacular

From Spectacular to Revolutionary, and

From Revolutionary to Contentment.

This, will move our nation and the country from one Glory

to the next and in the process, there will be no losers but

only Winners!

Thank you!

Professor Gordon Ndodomzi Zide

Mr Obadiah Maube is a holder of MSc in Mechanical engineering that was Awarded by The University

of Nairobi and an upper second class honours Bachelor of Industrial Technology degree (Mechanical

Engineering option) awarded by Egerton University. Mr Maube has over ten years of teaching and

research experience at various public universities and his area of specialisation is thermodynamics and

fluid mechanics.

The rapid growth in population along with the stringent environmental regulations has led to a search

for alternative fuels that are environmentally friendly and can be produced in a sustainable basis. In

this work, an investigation on the fraction of tyre pyrolysis oil with a similar distillation range to that of

automotive diesel was carried out to determine its suitability as an alternative or additive to petro-

diesel fuel. The quality of this oil was evaluated by comparing its key properties to the requirements of

South African National Standards for Automotive diesel fuel (SANS-342) and to conventional

automotive diesel fuel. In addition, mixing rule equations for predicting viscosity and density for both

pure and blends of the oil as a function of temperature were developed and evaluated. The

performance, emission and combustion characteristics of the diesel engine while running on these

blends were evaluated and subsequently, a comparative analysis was performed with conventional

petro-diesel fuel as the reference fuel. Additionally, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model was

developed for predicting engine performance and emissions. The performance and accuracy of the

model was evaluated and was found to be sufficient. Energy recovery from waste such as scrap tyres is

an interesting field for engineers and scientists. It is hoped that this work will prompt new research ideals

on how tyre pyrolysis oil can be improved for use as diesel engine fuel and building better models for

diesel engine performance and emissions.

ABSTRACT

NZIU Patrick Kiola

Optimal Geometric Configuration of a Cross

Bore in High Pressure Vessels

Mr PK Nziu holds a Masters' degree in Mechanical Engineering (cum laude) from Vaal University of

Technology and a First-Class Bachelors' degree from Egerton University. He has a total of eight years

relevant teaching experience from various institutions of higher learning. In addition, he has three and

a half years of hands-on industrial experience as a Mechanical Engineer. He has published research

articles in various peer reviewed journals.

The purpose of this study was to develop analytical and numerical solutions to be used in the design of

thick walled high-pressure vessels for optimal location of a cross bore. In addition, the effects of

combined thermo-mechanical loading on Stress Concentration Factor (SCF) on these vessels, was

also evaluated.

An analytical solution, to predict principal stresses on radial circular cross bore, was developed. The

developed analytical solution was verified using finite element analysis methods. Further, an

optimisation process, using finite element analysis, was done to determine the optimal combination of

the major cross bore geometry. The cross-bore geometries that were studied included the size, shape,

location, obliquity and thickness ratio. The geometrically optimised cross bore was then subjected to

combined thermo-mechanical loading to determine the resulting stress concentration effects.

A total of 169 finite element part models were created and analysed. Seven thick walled cylinders

having either circular or elliptical shaped cross bore positioned at radial, offset or and inclined were

investigated.

The analytical solution developed correctly predicted all the radial stresses at the intersection of the

cross bore and main bore. However, out of 35 studied models, this analytical solution predicted the

magnitude of hoop stresses in 9 models and that of axial stresses in 15 models correctly. The lowest SCF

given by the radial circular cross bore was 2.84. Whereas, the SCF due to offsetting of the same cross

bore size reduced to 2.31. Radial elliptical shaped cross bore gave the overall lowest SCF at 1.73. In

contrast, offsetting of the same elliptical shaped cross bore resulted to tremendous increase in SCF

magnitude. Additionally, the magnitudes of SCF were observed to increase whenever the circular

offset cross bores were inclined along the RZ axis of the cylinder.

The hoop stress due to combined thermo-mechanical loading increased gradually with increase in

temperature until it reached a maximum value after which it began to fall sharply. In contrast, the

corresponding SCF reduced gradually with increase in temperature until it reached a uniform steady

state. After which, any further increase in temperature had insignificant change in stress concentration

factor. The optimal SCF magnitude due to combined thermo-mechanical loading was 1.43. This SCF

magnitude was slightly lower than that due to the pressure load acting alone.
