FABRICATION OF BRIQUETTE STOVE

ABSTRACT  This project is an equipment which been fabricated for the principle purpose of producing heat energy for commercial use by burning solid fuel like briquette.  The project which is the fabrication of briquette stove was made from preferentially selected engineering materials like mild steels of different gauge member and metallic rod. These metallic materials posses some mechanical properties like malleability, ductility, static strength and have the capability of with standing ...

EFFECT OF INTERFACE ON THE QUALITY OF PETROLEUM PRODUCT IN MULTI PURPOSE PIPELINE SYSTEM

ABSTRACT Interface on petroleum product in multi-purpose pipeline system refers to as the zone of demarcation between two products where mixing occurs.  Generally, interface is a boundary layer, so the boundary between two products when they are pumped in succession is known as interface. In Nigeria Petroleum Industries like NNPC (PPMC) make use of multi-purpose pipeline system. This is where interface comes in petroleum products.  Interface as defined above plays a lot of economics import...

CONSTRUCTION OF OFFICE TABLE AND CHAIRS

ABSTRACT The aim of this project was to construct one office table and four chairs. In the course of this project the length of plank used was 12†and we used about 4 number (mahogany) of 1†thickness, ¾ plywood of 1 sheet of 1†thickness, as well as ¼†plywood of ½  and glue 1 tin wenner 1 rod, foam ½ sheet.  Fabrics 4 years, spraying materials and 21b of nail were utilized to effect the  construction of office table and chairs. The materials were marked out t...

CONSTRUCTION OF KEROSINE COOKING STOVE

ABSTRACT The purpose of the construction is aimed at producing heat energy for commercial use by turning liquid fuel(kerosene).the construction was successful by appropriate selection of engineering material favourably mild steel(blacksheet) and steel iron for special p2rts. The technological properties passed by the chosen mild steel are; machinability ,weldability,durability,andformability.mech2nude properties includem2llebillity,duetility,st2tic strength and high tensile strength . The se...

CONSTRUCTION OF A SIMPLE SIZE REDUCTION MACHINE

ABSTRACT This project (Construction Of A Simple Size Reduction Machine) It was constructed locally with the use of local materials and tools in I.M.T mechanical Engineering workshop.  The various parts of the equipment were constructed separately using mild steel before finally coupled.  During the construction, the conveyors and it’s housing were first constructed.  It consists of a shaft with a helical rod wound round it.  the hopper was measured, out and welded from a mild ste...

CONSTRUCTION OF A PILOT MOTORIZED MIXER

ABSTRACT A motorized mixer of 200 liters capacity was constructed to have the capability of mixing 200 liters of fluid during operation. The construction of the mixer involves the preliminary measures and calculations on the surface area of the metal sheet.  Some basic workshop practices was carried out during the construction such as the marking out of the metal sheet, cutting of different sizes of the sheet, welding of the prints, assembling of the components parts and painting of the equ...

CONSTRUCTION OF A BLENDER

ABSTRACT Blender is an electric machine for size reducing soft food or liquid mixture.  Blender is some time called liquidizer consists of a glass jar or jug containing a steel blade assembly at the base driven by a small electric motor. Construction of blender was done based on the principle of size of reduction using electric motor as the major driver force.  During the construction of blender, we adopted different stages which includes: i.  The production of preliminary drawings with d...

CONSTRUCTION OF 2,000 LITRES CAPACITY WATER RE-SERVOIR

ABSTRACT In the construct of 2,000 litres capacity water reservoir galvanized  steel  sheet forms the tank and an angle iron rod forms the stand.  Two full length galvanized sheet were marked out and cut out to the required sizes.  The work stated by cutting the it gauges galvanized steel sheets of full length into geometrical dimensions of the cylindrical shape After cutting, the different of the sized were assembled and joined together by using 12- guage  electrode on are holding mach...

ANALYSIS OF ENUGU COAL

ABSTRACT The project Analysis of Enugu Coal was done to determine the characteristic properties of Enugu Coal with particular emphasis on the proximate and ultimate analysis. Coal samples from the Enugu Coal (Onyeama) mine were obtained and pulverized.  The coal sample (pulverized) was subjected to proximate and ultimate analysis to determine its characteristic constituents. Analysis showed a volatile matter content of 37.46 weight percent, 7.10% moisture content, 8.3% ash content and 47.14...

UTILIZATION STUDIES OF ENUGU COAL

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...

PRODUCTION OF PLANT MIRROR USING LOCAL RAW MATERIAL

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...

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A REFRIGERATING UNIT

ABSTRACT The design and construction of s refrigerating unit is handled from the knowledge of the working principles of laws of thermodynamics. The size of the containing vessel i.e the case as established to be of 45cm by 32 cm in dimension. The Angle iron mild steel to used in the fabrication and welding. The box case of two layers are fabricated. Plastic (cooler) box is then  placed inside the upper part with the other parts of the refrigerator were brought in. they were all fixed onto a...

CONSTRUCTION OF TURBINE MIXER

  ABSTRACT The Turbine Mixer was Fabricated at the ________________________ The method of the fabrication of the Turbine Mixer involves a preliminary computation of the dimensions of the standard Turbine in relation to the dimension  of the reacting vessel in which they will be used in. making out, cutting out to sizes, rolling/folding, welding, body filling, glass- papering and painting. The total surface area is 10741.5cm2 The first step taken in the fabrication of the said project was t...

Problems Of Personal Income Tax Collection And Management In Nigeria

ABSTRACT It is well known fact that there are numerous problems inherent in the Nigeria Personal Income Tax System. With the present economy, a lot of problem emanated from the assessment, collection and management of personal income tax. Personal income tax is a source of revenue to the government and, therefore, must be saved from the setbacks. Since we are not in an ideal world, the problems associated with personal income tax may not be completely eradicated but can be reduced to a manag...

Construction Of A Simple Paint Mixer

ABSTRACTA paint mixer is defined as a pattern constructed for the production (mixing) of paint manually.  The method of fabrication of the paint mixer involved a preliminary computation of the dimensions of the standard mixer in relation to the dimension of the reacting vessel in which they will be used in marking out, cutting out to sizes, rolling, folding, welding, body-filling and painting.  The first step taken in the fabrication of this project work was the selection of material ...
