DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A 2000W INVERTER

ABSTRACT A 1.25KVA (2000W) inverter generator was designed, constructed and certified Ok. In this project, the design of the inverter generator  is aimed at satisfying the need of converting, a D.C source of supply (12v battery) to an A.C voltage of 220v. The inverter range of output is between 200-220v. Since the inverter was designed to step-up voltage, the power transformer is being used as step-down transformer for charging and as step-up transformer for inverting. The control circuit e...

CONSTRUCTION OF CAR TOUCH INTRUDER ALARM

ABSTRACT The main objective of this project was to ensure a proper security to car being parked in garage against theft or an intruder. The circuit uses three NE555 timers; one of the NE555 was wired as a monostable oscillator and remaining two were wired as tone generator and amplified to obtain a maximum audible sound. However, pin 2 of the first NE555 was used as sensor part .When pin 2 has contact with human body or hand it will activate the IC1 which will also bias transistor and this t...

THERMAL CONVERSION OF PALM KERNEL SHELL AND MESOCARP FRUIT FIBRE INTO FUEL

ABSTRACT Palm Oil processing yield a considerable quantity of palm kernel shell (PKS) and mesocarp fruit fiber (MFF). This has been predominantly used as fuel through direct combustion which is inefficient and polluting. Better grade fuel could be derived through torrefaction. The objectives of the work therefore was to determine the optimum parameters for the conversion of palm kernel shell (PKS) and mesocarp fruit fiber (MFF) to high grade fuel via torrefaction. Samples of PKS and MFF were...

THE INFLUENCE OF RAINFALL DURATION ON SPLASH PRODUCED FROM A LOAMY SAND SOIL

ABSTRACT At the event of soil erosion, rain splash erosion supplies materials for subsequent transportation and entrainment. The influence of rainfall duration on splash produced from a loamy sand soil in Camp area of Abeokuta, Ogun State was studied in the laboratory using a laboratory rainfall simulator. The study area is always subject to serious erosion. The objectives of the study are to analyze the characteristics of splash erosion on the soil due to different rainfall duration at diff...

MODIFICATION OF A COCONUT OIL EXTRACTOR

ABSTRACT A prototype of hydraulically operated coconut oil extractor was designed and fabricated. The machine can be used for other oil-bearing seeds such as groundnut and palm kernel. The machine is made up of a plunger, ram disc, expression chamber, and electric heater. The extractor can process 10kg coconut per hour. An efficiency of 15% was obtained from the coconut cake of 2.9kg (wet basis). While for the dry basis 40% of oil was obtained from coconut cake of 2.5kg. TABLE OF CONTENT TI...

EFFECTS OF SOIL PROPERTIES ON ERODIBILITY AND INFILTRATION: A CASE STUDY OF UNAAB HOSTEL

ABSTRACT Erodibility of UNAAB soil series for nine plots behind the female hostel ( i.e. plot A – I) using regression equation were determined by evaluating first organic matter content, using the Walky Blanks method, the particle size analysis, permeability test, bulk density and chemical properties of the soil such as Sodium, Cation Exchange Capacity, acidity, Potassium, Magnessium and calcium. The organic matter content of the soil(Ibadan series-sandy loam) was found to be;plot1 d...

DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND TESTING OF AN EVAPORATIVE COOLING FACILITY FOR STORING VEGETABLES

ABSTRACT A 1.05 cubic metre capacity storage facility which is to increase the shelf life of stored vegetables as designed fabricated and tested. The equipment operates on the principle of evaporative cooling and increasing the relative humidity of the interior of the equipment. The door and the back wall were of particle board of 12mm thickness while the two sides are made of jute bag through which water flows on a trough at the top flows with the influence of gravity. The facility designed...

THE DESIGN OF A FISH POND

ABSTRACT Food is inevitable in ones life and fish is a main source of vitamins and protein in ones life. Fish pond is a place for growing fish for commercial or private needs or gestetic purpose. The design of fish pond is very important because of its aqueous retaining nature which if there is leakage will not only cause loss of water but also loss of lives of fish and plants in it. A adequacy and accuracy is relevant in the design of fish pond. The engineer is bordered with the functions o...

PRODUCTION OF HIGH QUALITY FOAM

ABSTRACT The production of high quality foam was carried.  The actualization of the production of polyurethane (fibre) foam was made possible by using the components / chemical raw materials such as polyol (polyurethes resin).  TDI (toluene di-Iso-cyanate, methylane chloride (MC)-(CH2CL).  Silicon oil, stannous octoate, calcum carbonate and water. As a result of chemistry of polyurethane foams, properties of foams and fibre materials (physical, chemical, thermal and mechanical properties...
