ABSTRACT This project presents a 40A maximum power point tracking solar charge controller. The MPPT charge controller tries to keep the voltage and the power stable. The MPPT charge controller will harvest more power from the solar array – it will adjust its input voltage to harvest the maximum power from the solar array and then transform this power to supply the varying voltage requirement of the battery plus load. An MPPT charge controller is an electronic DC to DC converter that optimi...
ABSTRACT A bridge is a structure built to span physical obstacles without closing the way underneath such as a body of water, valley, or road, for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle. There are many different designs that each serve a particular purpose and apply to different situations. Designs of bridges vary depending on the function of the bridge, the nature of the ten-ain where the bridge is constructed and anchored, the material used to make it, and the funds available t...
ABSTRACT The importance of concrete in modem society cannot be underestimated. There is no escaping from the impact of concrete on everyday life. Concrete is a composite material which is made of filler and a binder. Typical concrete is a mixture of fine aggregate (sand), coarse aggregate (rock), cement, and water. Nowadays the usage of concrete is increasing from time to time due to the rapid development of construction industry. The usage of concrete is not only in building construction bu...
ABSTRACT This study investigates the influence of two main geotechnical properties of soils in the town of Ikole-Ekiti on civil engineering construction. The strength and compaction characteristics of the natural soil were determined. The investigation was carried out through laboratory tests on disturbed and undisturbed soil samples obtained from four trial pits (Samples A, B, C & D) in the town, across Ilotin, Ijemo-Titun, Yeye-Oba and Asin respectively. The samples were collected between ...
ABSTRACT This project is designed to determine households' access to domestic water supply via mechanical and non-mechanical energy system in Usin, Ikole local government area Ekiti State Nigeria, in terms of quality and quantity as the importance of adequate safe water supply to human health cannot be over emphasized. However, safe/improve water supply to most Nigerian cities is still inadequate. In the study area the relationship between water quality the degree of water source protecti...
ABSTRACT Assessing the geotechnical parameters helps in improving the soil settlement which usually causes damage to the civil structure. Compaction is one of the most important and routine engineering techniques, performed to assure the safety and stability of soils. In this study, geotechnical investigations at the lkole campus of Federal University Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State are carried out for undisturbed and ·disturbed samples obtained at five (5) specified locations and at a depths of t...
ABSTRACT Counting is a very common activity in our daily lives and when inaccurate results are produced, it could cost us dearly in terms of loss in production, profit and finances. This inaccuracy is very common with the manual method of counting due to fatigue from task repetition over a long period oftime. This project develops an automated counter system to solve the challenge of packaging items below or above advertised quantity to customers by many small scale business organizations wi...
ABSTRACT Yoruba language is gradually going into extinction because most speakers don't know how to write it despite that it is being taught in Primary and Secondary schools in Nigeria. This therefore call for the need of modern day processing tools such as machine translators for the language to catch up with the technological growth the world is experiencing. ln the face of rapid globalization, the significance of Machine translation cannot be overemphasized because it can translate the co...
ABSTRACT Nowadays, most of the conventional home automation systems are designed for special purposes but this system proposes an all-in-one general purpose home automation system that can be easily be implemented in new and existing homes. 'The aim is to develop a reliable, compact, fast and low cost smart home automation system, based on Arduino Uno (microcontroller). Various devices such as LEDs, DC Servo motors, passive infrared sensor have been incorporated in the system to demonstrate ...
ABSTRACT Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) leakage poses great danger in this era where its use has become an important source of energy for industries, homes and vehicles alike. A means of avoiding dangers associated with LPG leakage is to install LPG leakage detectors at susceptible areas. The objective of this proposed project therefore is to design and implement a microcontroller based LPG leakage monitoring, detection and control system. The system will be able to detect LPG leakage using M...
ABSTRACT Vehicle routing involves searching for efficient routes for vehicles along transportation networks in an attempt to reduce travel time, route length, service cost. For vehicle drivers, the idea of getting to their destination in the shortest time possible is very appealing especially by taking the shortest path to their destination but the shortest route may not always be the optimal route. Drivers might need multiple and distinct good (near optimal routes) options which are based o...
ABSTRACT The challenges of the manual method of taking attendance include difficulty in keeping the attendance list over a long period of time, time wasting during writing or signing, students forgetting to sign and students signing illegally for an absentee. This manual process has a lot of problems which may affect the productivity and management of schools. The aim of this project is to develop a radio frequency identification attendance system. The RFID attendance system utilises a micro...
ABSTRACT The security of our homes and properties are of utmost importance as various individuals and engineers have worked on ways to improve the security of our homes. This project which is "Development of a door lock security system based on speech recognition" is aimed at introducing maximum security and assurance to individuals and their properties in their various homes. This project was developed based on the use of the MATLAB software, which is progra1runed to recognize certain users...
ABSTRACT Fire disaster is a great threat to lives and properties, and it accounts for over 70% of total loss of properties and about 20% of total loss of lives every year in Nigeria. Although some conventional fire preventive systems have been developed which are not enough to take prompt action during fire, save properties, and ultimately save lives. Hence, the need to develop an automatic wireless-based fire monitoring, detection and alarm system which is accurate, scalable and energy effi...
ABSTRACT The development in science and technology has vital contribution towards improving the country's economy. One of the sectors that contribute to the country's economy is agriculture which needs the improvement of science and technology from time to time such as in its fertigation system. The manual applications of fertilizer that are commonly used are very stressful and consume enormous time especially when cultivating a large area of land and also do not ensure efficient management ...
