ABSTRACT The purpose of this research work is to design, fabricate and install a hydraulic brake system on a wheel system of an agricultural tipping truck. For an efficient functioning of the brake system some measures have to be strictly considered; the weight of the vehicle and the external load.The engineering materials used in the fabrication of the wheels system include metals, ceramics and polymerics.Despite the efficiency of the brake there must be routine checks and maintenance to ens...
ABSTRACT Plastic and Rubber materials have become the corner stone of our lives, so it leads to generation of huge quantity of waste. These waste materials are either mixed with municipal solid waste or dumped in an open area leading to increase in the area covered under waste land. Plastic and rubber waste, if not recycled is either land filled or incinerated, where both of them prove to be a disaster to environment. Incineration leads to air pollution whereas dumping the waste in open areas...
ABSTRACT In recent times, most of the household appliances are using electric power and as such, electricity shortage has become a major problem throughout the world. Ceiling fan is one of such appliances that consume electric power. The best way to minimize the power consumption of the ceiling fan is to reduce the weight of the ceiling fan blade. Thus, this project work entails the design of a new ceiling fan blade in which case the weight and power consumption was compared to the Panasonic...
ABSTRACT Packaging of food which is viable means of business opportunity has been exploited by individuals and corporate bodies for a very long time because the importance of packaging food products are very enormous ranging from protection of the product to preventing the food from spoiling. There is no way one can successfully go into business of chips production without exploiting a proper means of packaging the product. Over the years, different types of packaging machines have been dev...

ABSTRACT Wheelbarrow is a simple machine, which belong to the second-class lever. This is because the load or resistance is placed between the effort and the fulcrum. It is used in many areas of work to convey loads that are too heavy or bulky to be carried by hand. Wheelbarrow can be used as farm equipment, industrial equipment among others. However, the efficiency of the wheelbarrow depends on the materials used for the construction. A wrong choice of these materials can reduce the efficien...
ABSTRACTWhen it comes to construction projects, landscaping work, and gardening, you need the right kind of equipment to finish tasks speedily and easily. One piece of equipment you would need is a motorised wheelbarrow. This is intended to carry bulky materials and heavy loads. There are a lot of equipments that can be used these days for projects that involve heavy work. It would be an advantage to utilize motorized equipment in order for you to do tasks efficiently. With these tools, it wi...
The need for identification leads to the study of biometrics. Over the ages, human beings have been identified by various means, such as the Name, Complexion, Nationality, and even some uniquely assigned codes. Of all these methods, none can be used to uniquely identify an individual distinctly under all circumstances. However, research has shown that an individual‟s biometric feature can be used to uniquely identify them, under all circumstances. For these biometric features to be appropri...
ABSTRACT This project was carried out to ascertain whether the local palm oil met the required standard. The analytical test carried out include the free fatty acid test the acid value, iodine value moisture, content, saponfication value, peroxide value, specific gravity, colour and viscosity. The specific gravity of the oil sample was determined by comparing its weight when filled with the sample and that of water, while its moisture content was analyzed by oven drying the sample for a pa...
ABSTRACT This wrote up is a detail of the processes for the physical realization of the design and construction of mobile deep freezer. It is divided into chapters which discussed expensively the practical refrigeration cycle with rull attention given to design factors working principals and choice of material. Also considered were fabrication assembly and safely requirement INTRODUCTIONFirstly refrigeration in the process of removing heat from a substance or space in...
ABSTRACT In the society at large Technology is fast replacing the crude method of carrying out work and has been making room for employment. Besides, it has also caught the attention of the youths who will prefer to work in a company with technological operations than one with man-power operations. This project can be used to convey materials ranging from those in powdery forms grit forms, and stones in the size of crushed granites. If applied to the foundry technology practical (sand mould) ...
INTRODUCTION REFRIGERATION Refrigeration is a branch of science that deals with the process of removing heat from a substance or space in order to make it cooler. Refrigerator is defined as a device that is used in cooling the internal temperature below the room temperature (that is between 250C to 300C). Generally, however, for a space or substance to be cooler, it must loss that heat to another. Also, for a space or substance to get hotter, it must absorb heat from another, which must b...
ABSTRACT This Nylon sealing and cutting machine has an added advantage of making 800 sealed bags per hour. The constructional machines were sourced locally. The machine can cut and seal Nylon at a affordable cost. The constructional size of 31 cm x 7.5cm x 12.4 which comprises the following component. The sealing and cutting filament, the transformer with 1000 turns of wire for the secondary and about 1200 turns for the primary. Others includes the micro switch, tephlon tape and alumi...
INTRODUCTION The production of bench shearing machines to reduce, alleviate and probably eliminate suffering, time, money, wastage of material and more especially the need for technological break through and self reliance has been a major concern of the federal government. Metal shearing and shaping has been a tiring problem in the society from time immemorial especially toward our loco-parcatesis. To help eradicate these problem this project write up has delved into simplicities and cons...
