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 Security Architecture of an RF-Based Wireless LED Display System for Secure Data Transmission

This project presents the design and implementation of a secure RF-based wireless electronic notice board, developed to enable reliable, real-time information transmission ion across environments where secure and controlled communication is critical, within a range of 50 to 200 metres. To address inherent risks in wireless communication, the system incorporates basic security measures to reduce unauthorised access, signal interference, and message tampering. Structured data encoding and contr...

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. The data collected was analysed using descriptive statistics  and statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). The outcome of the empirical  investigations showed th...

Catalytic conversion of polyethylene to liquid fuel and solid wax using the (CaOH2)

ABSTRACT The objective of the work is the catalytic conversion of waste plastics into fuel oil and solid wax using Ca(OH)2 and the design of pyrolysis reactor. Plastic wastes such as, polypropylene, low density polyethylene, high density polyethylene, polystyrene are the most frequently used in everyday activities and disposed of to the environment after service. There are a number of methods by which plastic wastes can be managed such as incineration, recycling, land filling, thermal and cat...

Car security control using RfId

ABSTRACT  Security Car Using RFID System. This project is designed to enhance vehicle safety systems available. Thus, this project consists of some combination of equipment and components to create a car security system that meets the security features and use more advanced. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is the most reliable way to electronically identify, data capture, control, track, and inventory items using RF communication. Thus the project was produced by using RFID (Radio Freq...

CAUSES OF CRACKS IN STRUCTURES

Building cracks are most common type of problem in any type of building. So, it is important to understand the cause and the measures to be taken for prevention. Though cracks in concrete cannot be prevented entirely but they can be controlled by using adequate material and technique of construction and considering design criteria. Due to some faulty steps during construction or some unavoidable reasons different type of cracks starts to appear on various structural and non-structural parts o...

To soil shear strength, plastic limit, liquid limit and the liquidity index of clay soil, undrained triaxial compression test, empirical correlations, and statistical analysis of geotechnical

Soils for engineering use are often classified based on properties relative to foundation support or as they might perform under pavements and in earthworks. Geotechnical classification systems today are designed to make it easy to equate field observations to estimates of engineering properties. As moisture content of a clay-like soil increases, it goes through four distinct states of consistency: solid, semi-solid, plastic, and liquid. Each stage is defined by significant changes in strengt...

ALTERNATIVE CURRENT PULSE WIDTH MODULATION CONTROL FOR INDUCTION MOTOR

ABSTRACT An induction or asynchronous motor is a type of AC motor where power is supplied to the rotor by means of electromagnetic induction, rather than by slip rings and commutators as in slip-ring AC motors. Single phase induction motor is the most familiar of all electric motors & they are similar to a 3-phase squirrel cage induction motor. It has a squirrel-cage rotor identical to a 3-phase motor and a single phase winding on the stator. There are several methods for controlling the spee...

Isolation of oil degradation bacteria

Petroleum-based products are the major source of  energy for industry and daily life. The technology commonly used for the soil remediation includes mechanical, burying, evaporation, dispersion,  and washing. However, these Technologies are expensive and can lead to incomplete decomposition of contaminants (Zaid A. Pirzada.2015) The Bioremediation technique is a pollution treatment technology that uses biological systems to catalyse the destruction or transformation...
