ABSTRACT Globally, natural disasters are becoming places lately, and they are the results of climate change due to natural forces. Some of these disasters like floods, earthquakes, landslides and draught happen, resulting in loss of human lives and properties. Flood occurs when two or more acres of dry land or two or more properties are inundated by water or mudflow. In this study, the reconnaissance survey of the study area was carried out. The topographical map of the area contributing run...
ABSTRACT The human eye is a vital organ of vision which gives the sense of sight. However, there are many diseases that affect the human eye and can lead to partial or total blindness. The major causes of blindness include cataract, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and several other corneal and retinal infections but most of them can be prevented with an early diagnosis. Therefore, there is the need for a cheaper, easy-to-understand and readily available system to aid the diagnostic proces...
ABSTRACT Zeolites are important chemical materials used in chemical processes. The manufacture of the materials usually involves the use of expensive chemicals. This study involves the use of Elefun Nigerian Kaolin (ENK) as precursor material for the development of zeolite Y. The synthesis of zeolite Y was successful following a sequence: collection of raw kaolin clay from Elefun area of Ogun state, Nigeria; subjecting it to, calcination, partial dealumination and final hydrothermal syn...
ABSTRACT Converting the huge amount of waste cooking oils presently generated globally to biodiesel as complementary energy source to fossil fuel is one of the major routes to sustainable energy management. However, producing quality biodiesel at established optimum conditions, through a clean technology with favourable environmental implications is of greater importance. This research focused on achieving the latter through alkali catalysed trans-esterification process of biodiesel producti...
ABSTRACT Recognition is an important task in many organisations ranging from law enforcement to education. Therefore, organisations are constantly in search of more efficient and error free ways to carry out the recognition process. Existing methods of recognition can be categorized as traditional or technology assisted. The aim of this project is to develop a recognition system that is based on authentication using one physiological trait of an individual. The proposed recognition system wa...
ABSTRACT The utilization of lignocellulosic biomass as feedstock for the production of fuel ethanol has attracted considerable interests in the last few decades. The emergence of new technologies has provided hope for fuel ethanol potential uses. Lignocellulose is a valuable alternative energy source. The enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass is constrained due to its complex structural features, so pretreatment is important to enhance its enzymatic digestibility. In this study, the...
ABSTRACT This report presents the design and implementation of contactless height measuring instrument. This project is based on developing and creating a device that utilizes ultrasonic sensors to determine height of an object ranging up to 200cm or 2m. The device is intended to be used as an alternative to the other more bulky and expensive models found either at home or at health centers. The ultrasonic height measurement device makes use of ultrasonic sound transducers to generate ultraso...
ABSTRACT This project is titled the design and constmction of an automatic water pump controller with level indicator. The project is designed to give a display of water level in a tank and control a pump motor as required. The reading given is in the scale of centimeter and percentage. The project circuitry mainly comprises an ATMEGA328P microcontroller which is the processing unit of the system, 16 X 2 liquid crystal display (LCD) which displays the level of the water in the water tank as ...
Abstract This research aims to analyze and address the technical study Fault Tolerance in controlling the fuel map by predicting the expected failures to occur in the actuators unit the internal system (Fuel Map) and make the necessary compensatory accounts and estimates to ensure the continuation of the work the engine on an ongoing basis with a failure until the failure treatment or programmatically change the system on part if necessary. Through research was to explain the definition of c...
ABSTRACT This research work presents the design concept, construction and testing of portable crucible furnace which uses diesel oil as fuel. The diesel fired crucible furnace was designed, constructed using locally available engineering materials mild steel sheet of 1.5 mm, the materials used in this work were obtained from the local markets within Akure and Lagos. They include: mild steel sheet of 1.5mm thickness, compressor pot, stainless steel pipe of 60mm diameter, refractory material (...
ABSTRACT Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a group of flammable hydrocarbon gases that are liquefied through pressurization and commonly used as fuel. This project aims to design and implement a micro-controller based Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) gas monitoring & leakage detection system with GSM alert system. Design and implementation of gas detection system as well as SMS alert systems were done to achieve the project aim. Gas leaks can cause major incidents resulting in both human injurie...
ABSTRACT This project presents a light activated switch for switching on and off electrical appliances using light dependent resistor (LOR) for its operation. The light dependent resistor changes or varies resistance with change in the intensity of light hitting its surface, this in turn is passed through a comparator to determine if the light intensity can be said to be day through the resistance entering the comparator. It can however be programmed to act as a light activated switch or as ...
ABSTRACT The demand for energy is becoming a critical challenge for the world as the population continues to grow. This calls for Sustainable energy production and supply such as renewable energy technologies. Renewable energy technologies are safe sources of energy that have a much lower environmental impact than conventional energy technologies. In this paper, the sawdust briquette machine is designed. Sawmill waste is a big problem especially in urban cities in Nigeria. These wastes are b...
ABSTRACT The project presents a currency counting machine with fake note detection. Over the past few years, there has been a large amount of counterfeit money in circulation, usually manufactured by illegal counterfeit rings with the aid of great technological advances. This money is usually spent in public places like a market, buses, etc. This money keeps moving in circulation until it gets to the bank where they notice that the currency is fake and the money is then confiscated, leaving...
