We work to nurture interdisciplinary conversations that catalyze breakthroughs and drive research forward.
Biography
André-Jacques Nlandu Mvuezolo is a Congolese engineer and academic, currently serving as a Teaching Assistant in Electromechanics at the Polytechnic Faculty of Kasa-Vubu University in Boma, Kongo Central, Democratic Republic of Congo. He holds a degree in Civil Engineering with a specialization in Electromechanics and is affiliated with the Department of Electromechanics at the university .
In March 2024, Mvuezolo co-authored a research paper titled "Modeling of an Electric-fired Brick Oven, Directly Heated," published in IgMin Research, a multidisciplinary open-access journal. This study aimed to design an electric brick oven to enhance the efficiency and quality of brick firing processes. The research utilized principles of heat transfer and computer-aided mechanical design to develop a model that addresses the imperfections of traditional brick ovens. The proposed oven operates at a temperature of 950°C for seven hours, utilizing carbon steel trolleys with heating resistors placed below each shelf to ensure uniform heating.
Mvuezolo's academic and research endeavors reflect his commitment to advancing engineering solutions that contribute to sustainable industrial practices in the Democratic Republic of Congo. His work exemplifies the integration of theoretical knowledge with practical applications in the field of electromechanics.

The purpose of this article is to propose a model of an electric-fired brick oven, with the aim of eliminating the imperfections presented by traditional brick ovens. To complete this study, we used the concepts of heat transfer, and material resistance, as well as those of computer-aided mechanical design.Deemed satisfactory, the results found give a yield of 94.5% and a cooking time of 7.29 hours based on 2000 bricks cooked.
