CHAPTER ONE1.0 INTRODUCTION1.1 Background of StudyThere is need for affordable building materials in providing adequate housing for teamingpopulace of the world. The cost of conventional building materials continue to increase asmajority of the population continues to fall below the poverty line. Thus, there is the need tosearch for local materials as alternatives for the construction of functional but low-cost buildingsin bo...
ABSTRACT This study investigation on the mechanical properties of Sagbama rice granite was analyzed to determine the load that would cause ultimate flexural stress on the material when used in concrete construction .This is necessary to make decision on where it is suitable for use. This study requires the production of 12 concrete beams of 100mmx100mmx500mm with sagbama rice granite as coarse and fine aggregate. Three (3) specimens were produced to be tested at 7, 14, 21 and 28days.Mix rat...
The increase of salinity in soil and water bodies which simultaneously declines the productivity of agriculture is of great concern to the Nigerian Federation which holds agriculture as a major means of survival for its economy. Thus, the proper monitoring,use and management of soil and water bodies is a sure way to proffer solutions to food shortage and poor crop yields. This can however be achieved by the use of a fast, reliable, and accurate in-situ salinometer. A portable in-situ salinome...

Limited or poor food separation techniques into fine particles for further processing cause post-harvest losses of food crops and initiates the problem of food and nutritional insecurity in Nigeria. In order to solve this problem, food crops need to be processed into a lasting and nutritious consumable form through the use of mechanization. Different materials in powder form or solid form are separated by using two-level screening machines. This machine can be used in different industries lik...
ABSTRACT The aim of this project, the design and implementation of an RF communication link, is to design a communication link between a source and a destination and study the properties of the signal being generated by the source (generator). The area of interest in this work is how the signal suffers limitations like attenuation, interference and distortion etc and to observe how these limitations affect the smooth transmission of the signal as well as the amplitude of the transmitted signa...
The mathematical model of diesel engine and its speed regulation system are presented and computer simulation is conducted in Matlab software. Simulation results verify that the proposed method improves the control accuracy of speed of diesel engine. A fuzzy PID hybrid controller and a Genetic Algorithm PID of parameter self-adjusting is put forward in this paper.

ABSTRACT The need for effective and efficient means of oil extraction has been a concern in recent time. Hence, this study aimed at the oil extraction from Moringa oleifera seeds using the Microwave-Assisted extraction method. The extraction process was modeled using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Also, the evaluation of Moringa oleifera oil as a good feedstock for biodiesel production was carried out. Oil was extracted from the M. oleifera seed kernel using Microwave-Assisted meth...
Upgrade of wastewater treatment plants to improve nutrient removal.
Abstract The study focused on the impact of petroleum industrial degradation on agricultural produce in Ilaje Local Government of Ondo state. Four research questions were developed in conformity with the purpose of the study. The study adopted survey research design. Questionnaires were administered to elicit information on crop productivity, livestock productivity, forest and aquatic organisms and therefore the strategies to cope with the impact of petroleum industrial degradation. A total o...
ABSTRACT Purpose: The main purpose of this empirical work is to identify (if any) the coherentrelationship between the concepts of competition and profitability of firms in the Nigeriandownstream oil industry, using Forte Oil Plc. (FO) as a case study. And consequently, drawup recommendations on how firms can improve their profitability in the sector.Methodology/Approach: Case study methodology is used to analys...
ABSTRACT Most people living in rural communities, have no access to good domestic water for consumption. The inhabitants depends on rain water, well water and sometimes surface water for consumption. Improper treatment of water gotten from these sources, can lead to the spread of water borne diseases, because, sometimes the water gotten from these sources are turbid. Although, some inhabitants use alum to treat the water so as to make the water clear. But excessive usage of alum to ...
Research and optimization of cooling of electronic components using heat sinks becomes increasingly important in modern industry. Numerical methods with experimental real world verification are the main tools to evaluate efficiency of heat sinks or heat sink systems. In this research, the physical problems associated with heat removal of electronic systems at different scales were studied. ABSTRACT Research and optimization of cooling of electronic components using heat sinks becomes increa...
