DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A WINDOW BASED FRONT-DESK INFORMATION SYSTEM (A CASE STUDY OF MAY FRESH SAVINGS AND LOAN LIMITED ONITSHA

ABSTRACT In account form analysis, a lot of discrepancies causes by manual aspect of the form such as: lost of form, inability to correct intakes, poor storage facilities have been a problem in the May fresh savings and loan limited account form. But in recent times, the computer has come to the aid of our banks, May fresh in particular.  The introduction of computer into the banking operation has to a great extent affected the mode of operation of banks in diverse ways. Computer has touche...

CONSTRUCTION OF TABLE TOP LIQUIDLIQUID EXTRACTION UNIT

ABSTRACT A table top liquid-liquid extraction unit was constructed.  The project also involved the repair and servicing of peristaltic suction pump, by painting it, replacing the connecting cord to the power supply, refilling of the work out suction plates, teeth and general servicing of the equipment.  The glass absorption columns were provided as well as two yards length of transparent, soft, translucent synthetic chemical rubber (hose).  The two ends of the pipe were connected to glass ...

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A REFRIGERATING UNIT

ABSTRACT The design and construction of s refrigerating unit is handled from the knowledge of the working principles of laws of thermodynamics. The size of the containing vessel i.e the case as established to be of 45cm by 32 cm in dimension. The Angle iron mild steel to used in the fabrication and welding. The box case of two layers are fabricated. Plastic (cooler) box is then  placed inside the upper part with the other parts of the refrigerator were brought in. they were all fixed onto a ...

UTLILIZATION STUDIES OF ENUGU COAL

ABSTRACT This study has its theme as a utilization studies of Enugu coals with the view of studying its properties, classification, preparation storage etc comparing coals obtained from different locations. The Enugu coal is a sub-bitummous and non coking coal.  It is very rich in waxes and resins, thus it may be suitable for the production of liquid fuels and a range of chemical raw materials. After all necessary studies which includes proximate analysis, ultimate analysis, caebonization te...

CHARACTERISTICS OF LOCAL PRODUCED OIL FROM GROUNDNUT OIL

ABSTRACT This project “Characteristics Of Local Produced Oil From Groundnut Oil” 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 100ml of 17-hexane while ...

THE EFFECT OF LIQUID FLOERATE AND GAS FLOWRATE ON A PACKED ABSORPTION TOWER AND REPAIR OF EQUIPMENT

ABSTRACT The purpose of the project is to study the effect of liquid flow rate and gas flow rate on the pressure drop in a packed absorption tower and also to repair and restore the packed absorption tower to good working condition. Trouble shooting revealed that the exit drain value was broken due to carelessness on the part of former user of the equipment.  We had to carry out glassblowing operations using borosilicate glass to construct another value.  Once this was done pressure build ...

FORMULATION AND PRODUCTION OF LEVERA SOAP

ABSTRACT The production of the soap was carried out using all the necessary equipments like the reactor, mould, stirrer, hygrometer guage etc. and all the required reagents for soap production in correct proportion. In the production, palm kernel oil (P.K.O) was used instead of tallow or grease.  This was because soap produced from grease or tallow tends to dissolve slowly at room temperature, whereas, soap of palm kernel oil product gives a quicker lather which is relatively suitable. Diff...

CONSTRUCTION OF PORTABLE WHEEL-BARROW

ABSTRACT After detailed study on machines and levers, the construction work started as follows:- Making out, pattern development, cutting filling, drilling, machining, assembling, welding and finishing.  Detailed procedures carried out is located at the sequence of operation in subsequent pages. The machine has scale of 1:5 in all parts of its dimensions.  However, brief dimensions are given below:- Upper surface of bowl-850mm Inner surface of bowl-335mm Stand height-325mm Diameter of whee...

PRINTING IMAGES AND THEIR METHODS OF PRODUCTION

LETTER PRESS PRINTING 1.1THE BASIC PRINCIPLE:Letterpress is a highly versatile printing process. It is adaptable to both short and long printing runs, from a few hundreds to several millions of printed impressions. In letterpress printing the image area of the printing surface stands in relief, raised above the surrounding non-image areas. Ink is applied to the image areas with a roller and is transferred to paper under pressure. Letterpress printing process is derived from pre-industrial art...

REPAIR AND REFURBISHING OF PILOT PLANT TEMPERATURE CONTROL APPARATUS

ABSTRACT The objective of the repair and refurbishing the pilot plant temperature control equipment is to keep the apparatus in good working condition for it to be used for its various purposes. The part of the temperature control changed and new one installed. This was due to series of faults developed by the former one” Electrical accessories were also changed for efficient power supply to the equipment. General maintenance operations were carried out on the equipment pipes, air hoses, ...

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF COMPUTER BASED LOTTERY PROCESSING SYSTEM

ABSTRACT Description of a system and peripherals or devices in a computer system in which the operating of such devices is under control of the central processing unit is termed on-line.  Because of the efficiency and fast services, this project is equally aimed at creating a computer based lottery which allows entire to be sold over the phone, ATM, POS Machine, E-mail or via kiosks in which participants are invited to choose at least one unique number from a defined range of numbers.  The ...

FORMULATION AND PRODUCTION OF ALCOHOL FROM PALM WINE.

ABSTRACT This research work was arrived as the formulation and production of ethanol (ethyl alcohol) from the fermentation of palm wine. A fresh palm wine was ated which was obtained  from Emene in Enugu State.  The characteristics that was tested before and after fermentation were; specific gravity, refractive index and PH value of the fermentated palm wine was first determined, after which samples were formulated for fermentation.  The yeast that was used in the course of fermentation pr...

CONSTRUCTION OF WATER STORAGE TANK (2000 LITRES)

ABSTRACT The 20000 liters storage tank was constructed for effective storage and conservation of third with three (3) mild steel sheet of 14 gauge (2mm) thickness.  The construction started by marketing out 1½ (One and half) mild steel of 2440 Mm by 113Mmusing metal meter rule and critter the already market out dimension underwent cutting with a backsaw and after marking out and cutting operation of the cylindrical part it under went fording, using hammer and folding machine, and finally jo...

CONSTRUCTION OF A HYDROCYCLONE

ABSTRACT The hydrocyclone is a separating device used for the separation of dust particles from air, which has no moving component parts. This mechanism can also be defined as a system of winds circulating about a center of relatively low barometric pressure and on the earths surface, blowing inward in spiral form. This project is constructed for the separation of liquid – liquid and solid – liquid mixture, like air and dust mixture, dust and liquid drop. This equipment is constructed to ...

PRODUCTION OF DOMESTIC POWDER

ABSTRACT This research project is aimed at producing domestic powder and consequently, three different types of powder were produced, namely, simple face powder (pan-cake), medicated/Antiseptic powder (dristing   powder). During the various production Talcum, Zinc-oxide, Perfume, Menthol, Tragasan 300 DP (Triclosan), Mineral oil and colour (brown) were the materials used in the production of different powders. And equipment and apparatus used for production  of the three different powders ...
