Evaluation of The Effect of ANTHROPOGENIC Activities and Domestic Waste On Surface Water

ABSTRACT  The microbiological and organic pollutants characteristics of Owena dam in Ifedore local  government  area  of  Ondo-state,  Nigeria  was  carried  out,  nine  water  samples  were collected from three different parts of the downstream side, which include; around the waste disposal  site,  community  settlement  and  farm  environment.  The  microorganisms  isolated were  escherichia  coli,  enterobacter  species,  staphylococcus  aureus,  proteus  spec...

Evaluation of The Effectiveness of Quality Control in Dangote Cement Plc

   v  ABSTRACT  The project evaluates the effectiveness of quality control  in Dangote Cement PLC, Ibese  Ogun  State,  Nigeria.  Limestone,  shale  and  laterite  samples  were  from  the  mines  to determine their right grade as well as their mixing proportion. Also samples were taken from kiln feed and the final stage of cement production. The compressive strength of the cubes is determined according to the ages of the cubes which is 2 days, 7 days and 28 days while the d...

Kinetic Study and Optimization of Selected Factors Affecting Corrosion Using RSM

ABSTRACT   The kinetics and optimization of inhibitive action of leaves extract of pawpaw, Azadirachta indica (neem tree) and bitter leaf on corrosion of mild steel in acidic medium was studied by weight loss technique using central composite design of response surface methodology for optimization. The metal was analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer to determine its elemental compositions. The extract was obtained by liquid extraction using ethanol and was analyzed to determine ...

OPTIMUM DESIGN OF WELDED PLATE GIRDER

ABSTRACT The Project work presents an Optimum design of welded plate girder. A simply supported plate girder with span of 15meters was chosen for the case study. The girder was subjected to a self-weight of 50KN/m and concentrated loads of 1000KN at 5m and 10m from the left support. The plate girder was analysed to get the design moments and shear forces. An initial manual design was carried out for the plate girder in accordance with BS 5950-2000. From the design, initial section parameters ...

Design and Fabrication of Sedimentation Test Rig

ABSTRACT Nowadays, the destruction and pollution of humane environment has produced an ever growing awareness worldwide of the need for more effective sedimentation processes. The main aim of this project was to design and fabricate an experimental sedimentation rig with the objective to determine the rate of settling against time using calcium carbonate as a test sample.The rig consists mainly of the cylindrical tank, valves, motor, stirrer, and the sight glass. For the test run, 82 litres o...

In meal ordering project, you can request for any kind of food or drinks available in the restaurant which contains the menu embedded in each button. Microcontroller is the central processing unit CPU of this project and it also consists of Bluetooth it is said to be the main component used in this project. Microcontroller gets the coordinates from the Bluetooth...

Design and Construction of a 20-m Distance Remotely Controlled Metal Detector Using Arduino

   Abstract The project DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A 20-METRE DISTANCE REMOTELY  CONTROLLED METAL DETECTOR is used for detecting metallic objects such as phones,  bombs, and other metallic objects that are hidden from view. The design is based on the principle  of the Resonant Frequency Oscillator (RFO) metal detectors in which oscillation is a function of  parallel connection of an inductor and a capacitor operating in resonance. The project is divided  into two sections. The transmit...

DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF SINGLE PHASE INDUCTION MOTOR FOR NUMERICAL MACHINE COMPLEX

The energy sector plays a major role in driving Kenya’s economy. The need to conceive, develop and sustain energy generating sources cannot be underestimated.  Being a growing economy, Kenya therefore needs to redirect her effort in production of self-sustaining energy generating sources. It is in this line that the government through the ministry of industrialization, energy and vision 2030 sought to establish the Numerical Machine Complex, which serves as a hub for fabrication, assembl...

DESIGN OF A LOW COST MAIZE SHELLER

ABSTRACT Maize, known in many English-speaking countries as corn, is a grain domesticated by indigenous people in prehistoric times. The Aztecs and Mayans cultivated it in numerous varieties throughout central and southern Mexico, to cook or grind in a process called nixtamalization. The crop spread throughout America and later around the 1250 BC it spread to all corners of the region. Any significant or dense populations in the region developed a great trade network based on surplus and var...

Design and construction of an RF editable LED display board

This project is based on the design and construction of a Wireless Electronic Notice Board. It can be widely used to display latest information anywhere such as institutions, shop, place of worship and other places. This Wireless Electronic Notice Board will offer flexibility to user to control the information display within 50m to 200m range.  Similar works were reviewed and the draw backs of these projects were cited and their advantage also considered. The design of the Wireless Elec...

Development of a pedal operated breadfruit dehulling machine

ABSTRACT Breadfruit (Treculia Africana) or simply breadnut is very important  both as food and as a potential source of oil. The economic  importance of this tropical seed on domestic and commercial basis  has necessitated the development of a pedal breadfruit dehuller, that  would reduce the Cost of maintaining and purchasing motorized dehuller, Solve the problem of fuel scarcity, inadequate electricity supply . In the engineering design of this machine, the action zone consisted  esse...

Scheffe’s Mathematical Model for Optimization of Compressive Strength of Periwinkle Shell Aggregate Concrete.

 This project work aims at formulating Scheffe’s mathematical model which prescribes concrete mix ratios for a desired compressive strength of periwinkle shell aggregate concrete and obtaining the  combination of water, cement,  river sand and periwinkle shell which will produce the optimum strength.The model was formulated from first principle producing an equation with several unknown coefficients. These coefficients were determined by carrying out compressive strength test on thirty c...

The role of informal Sector in employment generation in Ilorin, kwara state Nigeria

                       Abstract This research work examined the role of informal Sector in employment generation in  Ilorin, kwara state Nigeria. The study made use of primary data obtained from 100  respondents from Ilorin West Local Government in kwara state through the copies of  questionnaire administered.
