DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN EXPERT SYSTEM ON TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE OF EPOSON PRINTER

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A METAL DETECTOR

ABSTRACT The project work titled Design and construction of a metal detector. When fully design and implemented would be able to detect any metallic material that is passing or coming close. This function would serve as a security check for dangerous metallic material as an alarm. Going by the sophisticated means of armed rubbers adopt these days in the breaking into bank supermarkets offices and highly secured area. No security system will be optimised or complete without the installation of...

THE DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF A CORN SHELLING MACHINE

ABSTRACT This Machine is design and fabricate as a prerequisite for the award of a Higher National Diploma. We sketch different designs which after consideration of many factors like the machine efficiency, the cost of materials e.t.c before we finally embark on this machine.The machine major component are the shaft, the inner barrel, the outer barrel, the conveyor, the tray etc.The machine is build with very strong and well selected materials which enhances the performance of the machine. ...

DESIGN OF MELON DE-HUSKING AND SEPARATION MACHINE

 INTRODUCTION Nigeria is an agricultural nation. Melon (Citrullus Vulgaris) is widely cultivated in Nigeria, among other seedlings during the planting season yearly. Several tones of the melon seeds are gathered each harvesting period but only very low percentage of the total harvest are dried by atmospheric draught and bagged for storage. High percentage waste is encored due to lack of good processing and storage facilities.Melon when properly processed yields a lot of by-products, which co...

PLANT MAINTENANCE AND SERVICES

INTRODUCTION Planned maintenance apart from programming inspection, should include monitoring, logging, periodic checks and tests of system as to guarantee correct day-today hitch free functioning and control of “closed circuit” water systems to maintain trouble-free operations.This first requirement for any maintenance system planned or otherwise is to compile an inventory of all plants and equipment to be maintained. Besides, additional information must be readily obtained from the manu...

CHEMICAL METHODS OF ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY USING ALKALI FLOODING

The purpose of EOR is to increase oil production, primarily through an increase in temperature, pressure, or an enhancement of the oil’s ability to flow through the reservoir. This study focuses on which chemicals available to flow through the reservoir. This study focuses on which chemicals available in Nigeria are best suited for EOR in Nigeria. The challenge of EOR is that the remaining is located in regions of the reservoir that are difficult to access, and the oil is held in the pores ...

MODELLING CREVICE COROSSION OF STAINLESS STEEL

ABSTRACT A common misconception about stainless steel is that it is not affected by corrosion. Although one of the main reasons why stainless steels are used is corrosion resistance, they do in fact suffer from certain types of corrosion in some environments and one of such types is crevice corrosion.  Crevice corrosion is normally a consequence of a galvanic cell generated in specific areas with restricted flux. Crevice corrosion is a form of localized corrosion in which a metal in contact ...

SPECIAL FORMULATION OF LIQUID DETERGENT FOR CAR WASH

ABSTRACT The aim of this research work is special formulation of liquid detergent for car wash. In manufacturing liquid detergents, selection of raw materials is been considered as the first step. These raw materials were selected on the basis of several factor such as human and environmental safety, cost compatibility with other ingredients and also the specific properties desired in the final products. Liquid detergent (car wash) is regarded as chemical formulation which essentially consis...

RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF NEEM BIODIESEL AND BIODIESEL/PETRODISEL BLEND

ABSTRACTEffect of temperature on viscosity and density changes on neem biodiesel and neem biodiesel-blend has been investigated.  Neem oil was sourced from neem (Azadirachta indica) seed, which was extracted using soxhlet apparatus and was converted to biodiesel using transterification method. The fuel properties of the resultant biodiesel such as viscosity, density, cetane number, cloud and pour points, flash point, were measured. At varying temperature range of 25-100OC, changes in viscosi...

CONSTRUCTION OF A SIMPLE PAINT MIXER

ABSTRACTA paint mixer is defined as a pattern constructed for the production (mixing) of paint manually.  The method of fabrication of the paint mixer involved a preliminary computation of the dimensions of the standard mixer in relation to the dimension of the reacting vessel in which they will be used in marking out, cutting out to sizes, rolling, folding, welding, body-filling and painting.  The first step taken in the fabrication of this project work was the selection of material suitab...

CONSTRUCTION OF METAL SHARPENING AND DULLING DEVICE

ABSTRACT As  a result of modern development in Science and Technology, most of the large scale industrial used machine were now modernized to simple small and efficient machines. Some of these machines were either operated manually or the aid of electricity.    For this reason, big metal sharpening machine was here reduced to simple term, which can be operated manually such as file and grinding machine for production firms and homes.  This machine performs the same functions as the...

THE CONSTRUCTION OF SIEVE ANALYSIS EQUIPMENT

ABSTRACTThe sets of seizes with shaker which was fabricated and assembled in the Chemical Engineering pilot plant was aimed at providing the students with a machine that will aid them in practical involving the separation of solid particles, besides, this, it was also fabricated sizes or diameter of the solid particles of a substances by allowed it pass through the pores or a partures of the size plates.    The process of operation involved the following: Marketing out of the sieve plate u...

CONSTRUCTION OF A JUICE EXTRACTOR MACHINE

ABSTRACT This project (construction of a simple size reduction machine) it was constructed locally with the use of local materials and tools in I. M. T. mechanical engineering workshop. The various parts of the equipment were constructed separately using mild steel before finally coupled.  During  the construction, the conveyors and its housing where first constructed. It consists of a shaft with helical rod wound round it. The paper was measured out and welded from a mild steel sheet of le...

CONSTRUCTION OF SOAP CUTTING DEVICE

ABSTRACT The aim of the project is to construct a soap cutting device capable of size-remaining the soap produced into regular bars and tablets without error in shapes and sizes. Soap cutting devices are used to size reduce or cut the bulk of soap produced into bars and tablets.  Soap cutting devices facilitate the process of cutting the produced soap to a required size that can be handled.  It is a kind of modern technical way of size reducing the already produced soap in a modern and easy...

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 fu...
