ABSTRACT Surface roughness constitutes one of the most critical constraints for the selection of machine tools and cutting parameters in metal cutting operations.
ABSTRACT Energy plays an important role in economic development, and being the mainstay of any economy.
ABSTRACT The effect of grain size on the mechanical properties of cold drawn low carbon steel was investigated.
ABSTRACT This paper presents the overview of the research and development of the pace setter organic fertilizer plant.
ABSTRACT The use of potentiostats for corrosion rate studies and activation polarization is very crucial because the weight loss method is limited in corrossion studies.
ABSTRACT This paper reports the efforts of the authors in restructuring the teaching of Fluid Mechanics in the University of Ibadan, Nigeria.
ABSTRACT A low cost food processing tray dryer was designed and constructed using locally available material.
ABSTRACT Computational algorithm and various computer aided methods are now routinely being used in the design of numerous kinds of engineering systems, subsystems and components.
ABSTRACT The design and construction of a 5kw turbine for a proposed micro hydroelectric power plant installation at Awba Dam University of Ibadan was undertaken.
ABSTRACT Research is an organizational study, which is concerned with the methodical investigation into a subject in order to discover facts, to establish or revise a theory or to develop a plan of action based on the fact discovered
ABSTRACT There has been growing need to characterize the fluid flow through a simplified model such as random walk dynamics.
Abstract Nanocomposite hydrogels of poly-n-isopropyl were prepared by incorporating gold and magnetite nanoparticles. The nanocomposite-based hydrogels formed were geometrical, ~7.3 mm in diameter and 5 mm thick (in the swollen state). Morphological analysis was characterized by a scanning electron microscope. Drug-loaded hydrogels were subjected to laser heating at 1 W, 1.5 W and 2 W for 20 min in each laser cycle. The metabolic activities of the cells were analysed. The photothermal convers...
Abstract Road construction typically confers significant benefits on the population the road serves. A recent rapid growth of urban residential areas in Ghana has necessitated the construction and rehabilitation of the roads linking these urban areas to major commercial towns in the country. The Kwabenya (Abuom) to Kitase area, straddling Ghana’s Eastern and Greater Accra regions, is a typical example. Using both primary and secondary data sources, the research reveals that agricultural pro...
Abstract This paper presents a recent study on recycling poly-ethylene-tetraphylate (PET), known as plastic waste material in Ghana, to wealth. Composites were produced by heating aggregates together with shredded PET plastic waste material, while bitumen was added to the plasticcoated aggregates. The composites produced were reinforced with 4.5 wt%, 9.0 wt%, 13.6 wt%, and 18.0 wt% PET. Mechanical properties of the fabricated composite samples were studied with a Universal testing machine for...
ABSTRACT Both Engineering students and praticising engineers are involved in the design and analysis associated with fluid mechanics and thermodynamic problems.
