PREFACE Our purpose of embarking on the construction of a project of this kind to present a very vivid and understandable fact that if given the necessary supports, that we the youths and engineers in potentials can more this country forward as regards to technical know how. Such a bird eye view right from time immemorial had proved that lot of time and money has been wasted without any reason. Money in the sense that the nation has been spending the hard earned foreign exchange on importati...
ABSTRACT An electric popcorn machine is machine that is used to popcorn for human consumption. It uses electricity as it sources of energy, transfer it energy, that is used to pop the Corn. Also it has a stirrer, which rotate due to the convection of electrical energy from the source to mechanical energy in the motor, the stirrer tons the corn so that it will not burns. This project went as far as meeting most of the requirement of advancement in technology, which lead to make-work easy an...
ABSTRACT Parameters on which clear prints depends were comprehensively investigated. The study revealed that clear print depends on the impressed pressure the working temperature and the gold foil print paper life expectancy. Also studies were he manner of dependence of these parameters on prints impressed on sheets of varied thickness. The results of these investigation were utizlied in the design and fabrication of an operational manual printing machine using gold foil sheet depo...
ABSTRACT. A machine for corn Sheller is highly and greatly needed for consistence of usage of corn in local and international levels. With regards to this indispensable need, a corn-shelling machine is designed which operates to remove the corn grains and leaving the cobs intact. In attainment to this design objective and aims, a proper considerations was given to the machinability factor which includes, installation, simplication, durability, choice material operational efficiently serviceab...
ABSTRACT This study has its theme as a utilization studies of Enugu coals with the view of studying its properties, classification, preparation storage etc comparing coals obtained from different locations. The Enugu coal is a sub-bitummous and non coking coal. It is very rich in waxes and resins, thus it may be suitable for the production of liquid fuels and a range of chemical raw materials. After all necessary studies which includes proximate analysis, ultimate analysis, caebonization te...
ABSTRACT This project “production of plane mirror using local raw material†is meant to study the possibility of producing plane mirror using sand rich in silica as its major local raw material. Plane mirror is produced by casting one side of a sheet glass. Presently in Nigeria, sheet glass is not used easily produce and as such, the local raw material used in the in the production of plane mirror in this product backing paint. The facilities for the production include spraying...
ABSTRACT The aim of the project is to construct a domestic grain grinding machine to be powered by electric motor through pulley and belt transmission. The project is to perform mostly blending and grinding on grains e.g beans, maize, melon, millet and such other food crops. In construction of the project, there are various factors that is being put into consideration. i.The size specification ii.The power of the electric motor to be used iii.The domestic operation which can be performed by...
ABSTRACT The candle molding machine is a vital device which cannot be done without, in any nation. This is because of the indispensable role candle plays, especially when there is no either source of light. In order to enhance adequate supply to both urban and rural consumers, the production of a candle molding machine is important. The major component of the candle molding machine are: the castled aluminum body, the adjustable screw, which serves as a separation between the too moulds cop an...
ABSTRACT The fabrication of a set of sieves and shaker was carried out in paliton workshop, Enugu. After a thorough analysis on the suitable materials to be used in fabrication, galvanized steel was chosen due to its advantages over materials of fabrication. The fabrication was carried out in order to analyze the sizes of particles. The component parts of the sets of sieve and their dimensions are as follows: Height of sieve 5.5cm Number of sieves 7 Diameter of sieve 13.5cm Shape of sieve ci...
ABSTRACT Stop clocks are devices for indicating time duration for the occurrence of two events after a passage of time. They are usually powered by batteries and they measure time in unit of seconds. Most clocks stop working as a result of the inability of the main spring to make a complete revolution. Also problems that do arise in clocks and cause it to breakdown include worn gear teeth, pendulum friction, and sympathetic vibrations among others. To effectively carry out repairs on stop cl...
ABSTRACT The project work “Construction of standard steel cupboard†was constructed at the mechanical workshop. During the construction, various hand and machinery tools (equipment) such as electric welding machine, hammers, guillote, folding machine, spraying machine, milling machine, steel rule, hard saw, center punch, scribbers, tri-square, drawing board and other vital and useful tools was used. However, before the standard structure of the steel cupboard was (produced), vari...
ABSTRACT The sets of seizes with shocker which was fabricated and assembled in the chemical engineering pilot plant was aimed at providing the students with a machine that will aid them in practical involving the separation of solid particles. Besides this, it was also fabricated sizes or diameter of the solid particles of a substance by allowing it pass through the pores or aperture of the sieve plates. The process of operation involved the following: marking out of the sieve plate using di...
ABSTRACT The aim of this project was to construct shell and tube heat exchanger with fixed boundless. A heat exchanger that would cool 5 x 5 x 10 – 3 kg/s of steam at a calculated heat load of 152 – 395/S was fabricated. The steam is to reach the heat exchanger from a distillation column at a temperature of 300k. The specification of the layout as well as the detailed mechanical design were assumed and also calculated. It is established that a horizontal heat exchanger with c...
ABSTRACT Propeller agitator is a specialized of various types of substances. It consists of three basic components which are the shaft, blade and the vessel. In the construction, mild steel was chosen due to it’s inherent properties. After the procurement, the following constructional operations were carried out which included marking out, center punching folding, welding, filling operation, assembling, and painting to beautify the equipment and for other purposes. The shapes an...
ABSTRACT This is an abstract on the construction of a packed distillation column. A packed distillation column is used in the separating process distillation that is the separation of two miscible liquids. It was constructed by marking out the dimension of the column, condenser, pot, using steel rule scriber, oxyacetylene flame was used for cutting after which the work piece were center punched and drilled using the drilling machine. At last they were folded, shaped, welded tested, finishe...
