Design of Automatic Plant Irrigation System Using Microcontroller

ABSTRACT Automatic plant irrigation system rise as a good choice and alternative to traditional irrigation methods since it is saving time and effort that are consumed by traditional methods where people are compelled to stop doing their important activities. The aim of this thesis is to develop a microcontroller-based automatic irrigation system. This system will run automatically by referring to the level of soil moisture. The humidity sensor type connected to the microcontroller is soil m...

Design Of The Heat Exchanger Using MATLAB Programme (Case Study Khartoum Refinery Company Ltd)

ABSTRACT A heat exchanger is a medium that transfers heat energy from a high temperature fluid to another low-temperature fluid without mixing the fluid together. Thermal exchange is one of the most important applications in many fields, such as food processing engineering, especially in the manufacture of materials that are highly sensitive to high temperatures, as well as difficult to heat or raise their temperature by direct methods and other materials. Heat exchangers are used in many en...

Invitro Evaluation Of Neem Tree Seed Oil Against Fungal Growth Of Fusarium Oxysporum. F. Sp. Lycopersici, The Causal Agent Of Tomato Wilt Disease.

Abstract Fusarium wilt considered as one of the most important diseases of tomato in Sudan. The present investigation was undertaken under laboratory conditions to study the effect of different neem oil concentrations, and synthetic fungicide,(AmistarTop 200ml/100L Water), on growth of the fungus Fusariumoxysporumf. sp. Lycopersicithe causal agent of wilt disease on tomato. Three concentrations of neem oil (1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 %) and fungicide as recommended dose were tested in addition to cont...

Design And Implementation Of Vehicles Accident Notification System

Abstract Ever since the invention of cars accident was introduced as a major cause of death and car manufactures has been developing new ways to prevent death by accident. Time is very important factor when it comes to saving a person’s life, any delay in detecting an accident or failing to locate its position life. The solution proposed by this thesis is to use a combination of collision detection unit and identify an accident and report it to the appropriate authorities and clear the roa...

Speed Control Of DC Motor Using Proportional–Integral–Derivative Controller And Fuzzy Logic

Abstract Fuzzy control systems have been successfully applied to a wide variety of practical problems. It has been shown that these controllers may perform better than conventional controllers, especially when applied to processes difficult to model, with nonlinearities. On the other hand, the direct current (DC) motor has been widely used as well because it is one of the most common actuators used in control systems. The main objective of this research is to control the speed of DC motor us...

Use of SCADA system for remote monitoring of Khartoum state water corporation

Multifunctional Piezoelectric System For A Mini UAV

ABSTRACT Extending the Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV) flight time with clean energy is a new challenge. One of the pioneering technology in this filed is piezoelectric but duo to low power that can be harvested from the piezoelectric material this technology is rare. This project proposes a computational frame work to predict the maximum power that can be harvested from a piezoelectric material implanted in a UAV wing by activating the resonance mode on the piezoelectric harvester. The suitable ...

Simulation Of Bearing Working Conditions Monitoring System

Abstract Machines are very important in modern society. The bearing compose a supreme component in the machine parts ,hence, many problems arise that minimize bearing life like high temperature, speed and excessive vibration. In this research, electronic simulation system is developed to measure temperature, speed, and vibration in deep groove ball bearing. Hence, the system live alarms and sends signal to stop the machine when it exceeds one of three-designed value. This system was tested i...

Design And Implementation Of A Feedback Control System For A Stepper Motor

Abstract Stepper motors are motors that indexes by digital pulses that turn their rotors a fixed fraction of a revolution where they will be clamped securely by their inherent holding torque. Stepper motors are a cost-effective and a reliable choice for many applications such as CNC and Robotics. They are used as open loop control systems which are in no need for feedback devices. Being open loop control systems, their major drawback is that if they were not used within their specified range...
