Free Download Jane Battersby, "Urban Food Systems Governance and Poverty in African Cities "
English | ISBN: 0367587564 | 2020 | 268 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
As Africa urbanises and the focus of poverty shifts to urban centres, there is an imperative to address poverty in African cities. This is particularly the case in smaller cities, which are often the most rapidly urbanising, but the least able to cope with this growth. This book argues that an examination of the food system and food security provides a valuable lens to interrogate urban poverty. Chapters examine the linkages between poverty, urban food systems and local governance with a focus on case studies from three smaller or secondary cities in Africa: Kisumu (Kenya), Kitwe (Zambia) and Epworth (Zimbabwe).

Free Download Design and Analysis of Thermal Systems
English | 2023 | ISBN: 0367502542 | 424 Pages | PDF (True) | 29 MB
Thermal systems are essential features of all domestic and industrial applications involving heat and fluid flow. Focusing on the design of thermal systems, this book bridges the gap between the theories of thermal science and design of practical thermal systems. Further, it discusses thermodynamic design principles, mathematical and CFD tools that will enable students as well as professional engineers to quickly analyze and design practical thermal systems. The major emphasis is on practical problems related to contemporary energy- and environment-related thermal systems including discussions on computational fluid dynamics used in thermal system design.
