Abstract The ever-increasing rate of failure of engineering students in engineering mathematics is one which the school management and entire stakeholders need not wink at any longer. Engineering mathematics is a prerequisite for all engineering discipline. It equips the student with problem solving skills and cognitive ability needed for higher thinking. The research was conducted to investigate and critically analyze the causes of the recent poor performance of engineering students in ...
ABSTRACT This work is an attempt at recycling and re-use of waste paper within Mapoly Community. Since the day it is invented till today, paper is a part of human life in various ways and it is gaining even more popularity as years go by. As the consumption of paper has been exploited. Recycling of paper has become vital since the demand for paper has increased and natural resources are being exploited. In this study, the quantity of solid waste generated within MAPOLY were assessed. Also, co...
Abstract Induction machine account for about 60percent of the electrical consumption in industrial countries; hence a huge energy savings could be achieved by even a small increment in the machine efficiency. Improving the designs of induction machines requires accurate quantification of the machine losses. A significant portion of the losses in electrical machine is caused by the core losses in the magnetic materials. The physical mechanism of core losses is still an open problem, and most o...
ABSTRACT The city of Nairobi was initially engineered to keep stormwater out of sight and out of mind. Unfortunately, that approach has turned a potential resource into a waste product and created new environmental hazards. Once the rain falls onto the impervious surfaces of the streets, sidewalk, parking lots and rooftops, it picks up any and all pollutants that are in its path, gathering volume and speed into the storm drain where it is piped underground int...
ABSTRACT Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles are plastic bottles derived from the raw material known as polyethylene terephthalate). The PET bottles are widely used for packaging carbonated drinks, beverages, food items, mineral water. Due to high consumption of PET bottles, trillions of PET bottles are disposed every year through, land filling, incineration, and ocean dumping; thus, creating nuisance and causing problem to the environment. This work aims to find an environmentally ...

ABSTRACT This project is titled the construction of a DC to AC inverter system. It is constructing to meet up with the power demand in the offices and in homes in the absence of power supply from the power holding company of Nigeria, PHCN. In order words the device / item serves as a substitute for PHCN which almost monopolises the power supply to people. It is constructing in such a way that it will take up 12v DC from battery and inverts it to an output of 230v, 50Hz AC. It makes no noise d...
Swine enterprise is one of the best options to choose when investing in livestock production, but has been suffering a big neglect due to lack of awareness and ignorance on the part of investors in most developing countries including Nigeria. Everything about swine enterprise depends on how they are managed as they do not demand much financially for their labour, feeding, housing and equipment selection and for other basic needs as compared to other livestock enterprise. Therefore, due to the...
Abstract: Wireless power transfer system charging multiple devices, through inductive coupling method which is classified under near field transfer region. In this project, we intend to achieve wireless power transfer charging multiple devices such as mobile phone, toothbrush and other low end power devices without the use of conventional copper wire or cable between the transmitter module and receiver module. In t...
ABSTRACT Phytochemicals are chemical compounds produced by plants, generally to help them thrive or thwart competitors, predators, or pathogens. These chemicals are produced by plants through primary or secondary metabolism (Breslin A,2017) . These work was done to determining the presence of phytochemicals such as Tannins, Saponin, Alkaloids, Anthraquinone, Phlobatannins, Flavonoids and Cardiac Glycosides (e.g Steroidal Ring or Terpenoids and cardenolide) from oil extracted from moringa...
Silicon dioxide , also known as silica (from the latin silex), is an oxide of silicon with the chemical formula SiO2, most commonly found in nature as quartz and invarious living organisms. In many parts of the world, silica is the major constituent of sand. Silica is one of the most complex and most abundant families of materials existing as a compound of several minerals and as synthetic product.Notable examples include fused quart, fumed sili...

The project work assessed the volumetric shrinkage and hydraulic conductivity of lateritic soil-bamboo leaf ash admixture as liner materials for use in waste containment systems or structures such that the result shows effectiveness for use.
The development of a large scale multipurpose hot meal processing equipment was designed andsimulated for market oriented production as reported in this paper. This project involves thedesign, design layout and performance of the Hot Meal Processing Equipment. It has one compartment; the Agitator compartment. The Agitator has three curves like paddles arranged symmetrically and powered by an electric motor. The official...
Abstract. This research focuses on the design, fabrication and performance evaluation of a laboratory hot mounting press machine for metallography using locally sourced materials and indigenous technology. To achieve this research objective, working drawings were produced which were used to produce the parts of the machine. Mild steel plates were used for the housing and the movable platen while stainless steel and mild steel rods were used for the production of the mold and the stu...
