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...

MANUFACTURE OF CEILING BOARD USING LOCAL MATERIALS

ABSTRACT This project “The Production of Ceiling Board from Local Raw Materials†was carried out basically using raw materials which was sourced locally. These raw materials are found to be very much in abundance. Some are materials sourced from the ground and others are from agricultural wastes. Three different types of ceiling boards were produced, their difference being in the type of fibre that was used. The fibres used for this different type includes; cellulose fibre obtaine...

EXTRACTION OF OIL FROM LOCAL SEED (GROUNDNUT SEED) & CHARACTERIZATION

ABSTRACT This project “Extraction of oil from a local seed (groundnut oil) and Characterization†was carried out using ten cups of groundnut seeds that was purchased from a local market in Enugu metropolis.  The oil these seeds were in Enugu using solvent extraction method.  Two different solvents were used in the extraction namely: Ethane and order to compare their yield, physical and chemical properties. The extraction was carried out using 32og of size-reduced groundnut with 1...

INTERFACE MONITORING AND ANALYSIS OF PIPELINE AND PRODUCTS MARKETING COMPANY LIMITED ENUGU DEPOT

ABSTRACT This research was carried out with the sole aim of monitoring interface in the transportation of petroleum pipeline products and the analysis of this product from Enugu depot.  In the research it was observed that product contaminates each other if interface was not properly monitored and cut at the appropriate time. The three major products that were considered in this research were premium motor spirit (PMS) automotive gas premium (AGO) and dual purpose kerosene  (DPK). The tes...

PRODUCTION OF WOOD ADHESIVE

ABSTRACT Adhesive is a substance that holds materials together by surface attachment, while wood adhesive is a substance that is used to hold plywood for furniture works. This substance is essential and has universal applications. Thus the aim of this research work is to produce it using cassava starch as a base binder. Starch is also used in industries to produce ethanol and glucose for textile industries, laundry and paper adhesive industries. It is of great importance to paper, wood and ...

TEMPERATURE AND WATER REQUIREMENT FOR LEACHING OF CAUSTIC ALKALI FROM ‘NGU’

ABSTRACT  The production and analysis of “Ngu†extract for temperature and water requirement for leaching of casuistic alkali is the basic objective of this project.  The production was carried out by using unit operations and also using the female inflorescence of a palm fruit (Eleasis Guineesis) as raw material.   The female inflorescence of palm fruit was size reduced from original dimensions to maintain particle size characteristics.  The size reduced bunches were dried at...

PRODUCTION OF PLASTIC MATERIALS

ABSTRACT Generally, plastic is defined as long-chain organic material which can be formed into desired shape by the application of heat and pressure, also it extends to include so many organic metallic complexes and also certain long-chain inorganic material based principally on silicon, phosphorus, nitrogen, aluminum or boron or mixtures of these. It is still however true to say that the bulk of current commercial plastic are modified organic chemical, and that the inorganic polymers and th...

THE EFFECT OF ENVIRONMENT ON CORROSION

ABSTRACT In this research project, the various nail were subjected to six environments so as to check the effect of the environments on corrosion of the nails. Two sets of nails were used; normal nail and concrete nail.  Six of each type while the other not coated. The research was carried out in the physical chemical laboratory of the institute of management and technology. The environments used are acidic solution, alkaline solution, salt solution, boiled water, air medium and lubricating...

DESULPHURISATION KEROSENE

ABSTRACT This report aimed at determining the presence and removal of mercaptan sulphur in kerosene using colour indicator method.  It is known that impurities such as free sulphur, sulphur dioxide, marketers, finding materials etc. are found in petroleum products. Consequently, absorbents like molecular sieve, calcium oxide and even activated carbon could be used to trap these impurities, thereby making the  product impurity free. The afficac of  the absorption  using  calcium (Cao) �...

ANALYSIS OF CRUDE PALM OIL

ABSTRACT This project was carried out to ascertain whether the local palm oil met the required standard.  The analytical test carried out include the free fatty acid test the acid value, iodine value moisture, content, saponfication value, peroxide value, specific gravity, colour and viscosity. The specific gravity of the oil sample was determined by comparing its weight when filled with the sample and that of water, while its moisture content was analyzed by oven drying the sample for a pa...

THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF HOUSE BELL WITH INDICATING LIGHT

 ABSTRACT The design and construction of the House Bell with indicating light system was creative embarked on for the production of a better alarm signals. Meanwhile different measures and steps such as using electric bell, electric bulb, light emitting diode, 1 mm2 their cable, B Amps plug, lamp holder was used to achieve the objective. All the measures that were taken to ensure the functionality of this project were discussed in detail.  Finally, conclusion and recommendation that will en...

THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF AUTOMATIC FENCE LIGHT CONTROLLER

ABSTRACT  The very fundamental reasons behind this project assignment is to expose student to the very important aspect of private and independent research work not only theories but also subsequent translation of the theoretical research work into a particular function system. The project construction of automatic fence light controller has been done primarily as a photo type design it could be further modified suit the situation where it will be used e.g when used to activate an alarm the ...
