Abstract This report presents the optimisation of a ceramic-matrix composite (anthill sand and cement), reinforced with treated coir fibres for applications in the construction of a low costsolar powered cooking stove to solve the current trends in the depletion of forest spaces in Ghana due to excessive destruction as a result of using firewood for cooking by a higher percentage of rural communities. The reinforced coir fibres reduce undesirable traits in ceramics including, low fracture tou...
Abstract Fossil Fuels are currently classified as some of the leading producers of greenhouse gases which are major agents of Global warming. This study establishes the benefits Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) would have when used as a fuel in a hybrid-electric vehicle. The study establishes a Parallel-Hybrid vehicle model equipped with a control system to determine the mode of operation of the vehicle. Simulations using the vehicle models developed were performed in AVL Cruise. The results gener...
ABSTRACT The Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry is currently under reforms due to inadequate power supply to meet basic needs.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a mathematical model that could assist in measuring, monitoring and controlling temperature variation in cold and 'red-hot" metal working conditions or machining.
ABSTRACT The motivation for the present study is derived from the fact that time management is an integral pan of good engineering practice.
ABSTRACT Two of the largest manufacturing plants in Nigeria named plant A and plant B were studied and the data collected from the 10year period 1995-2005 from them enabled an analysis of their energy consumption, energy cost per tone, efficiency of energy use from exergy analysis and carbon dioxide emission rate
ABSTRACT Road bumps play a crucial role in enforcing speed limits, thereby preventing over speeding of vehicle.
ABSTRACT Small businesses play a vital role in the economic development of any nation.
ABSTRACT A simulation study of effect of stress on mild steel microstructure has revealed stress loop at areas of stress application which are believed to be the root cause of ductile failure morphology in ductile alloys under plane strain conditions.
ABSTRACT Adsorption refrigeration technology has been intensively investigated in many countries of the world because of its potential for competing with conventional vapour compression refrigeration and its environmental friendliness.
ABSTRACT Laboratory equipment is meant to impart some modules of knowledge unto students of engineering and applied science.
ABSTRACT The importance of software development In the world today cannot be over-emphasised more so as applied in the field of engineering.
ABSTRACT An energy minimization route in all scrap based EAF steel production process is presented in this paper.
ABSTRACT Rims are essential safety components for support, steering, mobility and break systems in automobile.
ABSTRACT Environmental degradation is the deterioration of the environment through the depletion of resources such as air, water, soil and the destruction of ecosystems.
