MODIFICATION OF PROTO-TYPE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT

ABSTRACT The need for an authentic and reliable report relating to the modification of a proto-type air-conditioning unit is inevitable.  Many homes and offices use the air conditioner to cool the temperature in their respective homes and offices, so the maintenance of the air conditioner should be a top priority of every individual in order to avoid huge expenditure in the modification of the system. This report began with an introduction into the relevance of an air conditioner, the gener...

FORMULATION AND PRODUCTION OF LEVERA SOAP

ABSTRACT The production of the soap was carried out using all the necessary equipments like the reactor, mould, stirrer, hygrometer guage etc. and all the required reagents for soap production in correct proportion. In the production, palm kernel oil (P.K.O) was used instead of tallow or grease.  This was because soap produced from grease or tallow tends to dissolve slowly at room temperature, whereas, soap of palm kernel oil product gives a quicker lather which is relatively suitable. Diff...

FABRICATION OF CANDLE MOULD WITH TWENTY FOUR (24) HOLES

ABSTRACT The candle mould has twenty four (24) holes which could produce twenty four (24) quality candle sticks Aluminum, a non ferrous metal was used as the construction material for the mould the type of casting technique used was green sand mould method. In the process of moulding the pattern was placed in the flask which contained the green sand.  The flask was turned upside down and the reverse side of the pattern was formed.  This part is called the positive part, the other part of t...

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...
