Item Effects of magnetic fields on an unsteady mixed convective boundary layer flow of an electrically conducting fluid with temperature dependent properties(University of Dar es Salaam, 2018) Kitengeso, Raymond; Mureithi, Eunice; James, Makungu; Mango, JohnA mixed convective boundary layer flow of an electrically conducting fluid with temperature dependent properties over an inclined plate is investigated. The magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer governing equations are derived by using Boussinesq and boundary layer approximations. The equations are transformed to similarity form using a similarity transformation variable and the resulting boundary value problem is solved numerically. The effects of magnetic fields, unsteadiness, mixed convection and variable fluid properties on velocity and temperature in the boundary layer are analysed. The effects of pertinent parameters on skin friction and heat transfer are also analysedItem Optimal control and cost effectiveness analysis of tomato yellow leaf curl virus disease epidemic model(Scientific & Academic Publishing, 2019) Hugo, Alfred; Lusekelo, Eva mwaseba; Kitengeso, RaymondThis paper concentrates on the mathematical model for optimal control and cost-effectiveness analysis of tomato yellow leaf curl virus disease. The boundedness of the model has been analytically examined. The preferable optimal level of the intervention strategy to reduce the spreads and the cost of implementing control strategies were determined by introducing the time-dependent control. Pontryagin’s maximum principle was used to determine necessary conditions for the optimal control of the disease while numerical results obtained through forward-backward sweep method and fourth-order Runge-Kutta scheme using the forward solution of the state equations. The cost-effectiveness analysis results show that protective netting and removal of the infected plant is the most cost-effective strategy to combat the epidemic of tomato disease with limited resources. Therefore, TYLCV can be controlled if the farmers will effectively apply protective netting and remove the infected plants from the farm.
