Design and Construction of Automatic Change-Over for Three Phases

ABSTRACT          The main aim of any electric power supply in the world is to provide uninterrupted power supply at all times to all its consumers. Although in developing countries, the electric power generated to meet the demands of the growing consumers of electricity is insufficient hence instability and outage. Power instability or outage in general does not promote development in the public and private sector. The inventors do not feel secure to come into a country with consta...

Effect of Crushed Concrete as Coarse Aggregates in Production of Concrete

ABSTRACT In the face of a possible scarcity of natural aggregates in the future in line with sustainable construction, this research investigates the feasibility of the use of recycled coarse  aggregates as an alternative to natural coarse aggregates in structural concrete. The recycled coarse aggregate used in the research was processed from waste concrete. The percentage of recycled coarse aggregates by weight of all in aggregates in the test mixes were 0%, 5% 10% 20% and 30 % respectivel...

Hydro geochemistry and Engineering Geology of Adeta Area, Ilorin, North-Central Nigeria.

ABSTRACT A study on hydrogeochemistry and quality of shallow water and engineering properties of soil around the Adeta area in Ilorin was carried out based on data obtained from the field and laboratory. Groundwater flow, descriptive, and multivariant statistical analyses, piper, stiff and durov diagrams, as well water quality indices were used to describe hydrochemistry and water quality suitability of the area. Grain-size distribution, Atterberg limit and permeability indices were used to d...

The Maintenance of Workshop Equipment

ABSTRACT Maintenance is the technical exercise that is usually carries out on machines to restore a component going to fail or failed component back to it design function in the machine. The role of maintenance in machine work shop can not be over emphasized, because without it, many causality that would have been recorded in a workshop would have been much, most especially in some machine workshop that deal with the use of hazardous chemical in their production process of materials. e.g petr...

Performance Evaluation of a Solar Powered Poultry Egg Incubator

Abstract The utilization of solar incubator would proffers solution to a major constraint of power inadequacy for commercial poultry egg incubation in Nigeria. A solar powered poultry egg incubator was developed and the main components included incubating chamber, control system and solar powered system. The developed solar incubator was 610 mm × 607 mm × 1649 mm in size with a capacity for 150 eggs. This study conducted performance evaluation on the solar powered poultry egg incuba...

Final Year Project Proposal on Effect Of Reprocessed Pure Water Sachet (Pws) on the Properties Of Wood Wool (A Case Study of Omo Wood Alstonia Longensis)

CHAPTER ONE BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY 1.0      INTRODUCTION Right from when man stated to build, he has been compelled to use the locally available materials around him. Building has now become major construction material allover the world has necessitated a critical study of its constituent materials. More so, the present economic crunch calls for cost saving measures on the part of engineers/researchers involved in the management of the country’s project. Hence, the need for resea...

Design and Production of Ceiling Board Using Plaster of Paris (P.O.P) Gypsum Material

CHAPTER ONE 1.0     INTRODUCTION           This project deals with the design and production of ceiling board using Plaster of Paris [POP] gypsum materials. Plaster of Paris [POP] is a white powdery mixture of gypsum. It has been named such because the first deposit of gypsum was found is Paris. This powder when mixed with water solidifies, but without losing its volume. During manufacturing process, the gypsum is heated and as such, it does not necessarily require any high hea...
