DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF ELECTRICAL CODED DOOR LOCK SYSTEM

ABSTRACT Whenever we think of redefined security, we think of coded electrical door lock. It is a microcontroller based security door lock that can be used in homes, offices, laboratories, etc. for more reliable and high fidelity door control system, powered by electrons panel or electromechanical panels. Due to high rate of insecurity, especially intrusion into homes and offices, this project provides the users with an electronic keypad to enter the password required to get access into home...

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A SOLAR POWERED MULTIPLE CELL PHONES CHARGING BOOTH

ABSTRACT Cell phones need electric sources to charge their batteries in order to work, but there are people in developing and third world countries that find it hard to access electric sources.In an attempt to provide an alternative means of charging to those unfortunate areas in third world and developing countries, a solar powered cell phone charging booth is to be designed and constructed in this project. The goal of this project is to create a multiple output solar cell phone chargers f...

CONSTRUCTION OF A 2.8KVA FUEL-LESS GENERATOR

Abstract In this work, a 2.8kva alternator was coupled to a 4 H.P dc motor acting as a prime mover to produce a fuel-less generator. The coupling was done using two crankshaft pulleys to match the speed of the alternator to that of the dc motor. Two 24v dc deep cycle batteries were also used as the exciter unit and a sustainable output voltage of 232V was achieved.      TABLE OF CONTENTS Title Page Declaration Certification. iii Dedication. iv Acknowledgement. v Table Of Contents. vi L...

Design and Implementation of Micro controller Based Smart Energy Meter Equipped with Prepaid Facilities

Today, humanity can be classified as living in a “machine society” where technological tools are predominantly at different levels interfacing in the day–to-day activity of man. These livelihood activities constitute and deliver economic, social and political benefits and potential risks to the survivability of nations –especially developing nations like ours. Energy meter has been classified as Electromechanical Energy Meters. It is regarded as the most traditional and widely used en...

Synergistic effect of Datura stramonium leaves extract - Zn2+ on the corrosion inhibition of mild steel in well water

This study covers the evaluation of the synergistic effect of Datura stramonium leaves extract-Zn2+ in the corrosion inhibition of mild steel in well water. Varying effects of different concentrations of the extract and 5ppm of Zn2+ on the corrosion inhibition of the mild steel specimen will be determined in order to ascertain the synergistic effect that exists between the leaf extract and Zn2+ 

SQUARE WAVE TO SINOUNSIDAL WAVE FORM

The availability and stability of electrical energy is necessary for domestic and industrial use. But unfortunately the monopoly which the Power holding company of Nigeria (PHCN) enjoys in this country is not in favor of the electricity users, because the supply is never constant and damages occur due to inconsistency of this supply is very enormous. However, millions of naira’s are lost every day in the commercial and industrial sectors, and even at the same time a lot of Lives are wasted ...

Defluoridation of Water using Moringa Oleifera.

ABSTRACT The primary objective of this study is to identify the most appropriate herbal plants for the removal of contaminants from water and also to develop a water treatment kit at an affordable cost for the society.  Moringa Oleifera was chosen for this study, the effectiveness of these herbs in the removal of fluoride from water shows that Moringa Oleifera is economically viable, physically feasible and socially acceptable. Moringa Oleifera seed is an organic material that has proven eff...

Design and Construction of an Integrated Mechanized Cassava Mash and Garri Sifter (Sieve)

Cassava is produced in a large quantity in Nigeria. One of the products emerging  from its processing has turned out to be a major staple food in the nation, which is ‘garri’.  Due to insufficient and inadequate processing equipment; cassava has been susceptible to  wastage and ‘garri’ production has been reduced in scale, thereby resulting in  insufficiency and high cost of ’garri’ in the market. In order to ease the production  process, a compact mechanized cassava mash/‘...

Wind Power and Solar PV renewable energy generation on an Island of Great Cumbrae

The aim of the project is to design a renewable energy system that can meet the current and projected electricity demands for the island of Great Cumbrae. This should be achieved by providing a stable electricity output and the meet the calculated total annual base load supply of 11.29 GWh. In addition to providing a stable supply of electricity, the environment and social impacts that arise from the project relating to Great Cumbrae should be minimised as well as coinciding with a techn...

ONE ON ONE TECHNOLOGY AND ITS EFFECT ON STUDENT ACADEMICS AND MOTIVATION

This research is a quantitative study using 4th grade reassessment on one on one technology and its effect on student achievement and motivation. 

Construction of a Battery Cage with Manually Operated Waste Conveyor

This is a research work carried out on battery cage system of poultry management. It's all about how to minimize waste from poultry birds and also how to convey waste by employing the help of a belt conveyor 

Empirical Validation of Photo-voltaic Power Output Forecasting Methods

The electricity produced by renewable energy sources (RES) is constantly increasing worldwide thanks to government policies and technological advancements. Photo voltaic cells are  actually a fast rising technology as the source of its power is a commodity that is abundant in  this part of the hemisphere. Uncertainty also dominates in the area of the conditions at which  the photovoltaic cells are operating, their optimal weather conditions and the effect of the  conditions on their outpu...

EFFECTS OF LIQUID WASTES FROM AUTOMOBILE WORKSHOPS ON PROPERTIES OF SOILS IN ENUGU STATE, NIGERIA

ABSTRACT: This study was carried out in Udi, Udenu and Nsukka Local Government Areas, in Enugu state. The effects of liquid wastes from automobile workshops on some selected soil properties of the study area were investigated. Auger samples were collected at two depths, (surface, 0- 20cm) and (subsurface, 20- 40cm) of automobile wastes contaminated sites and 100m away for uncontaminated sites. Core samples were collected from both soils and surface samples were again collected for planting m...

Evaluation of The Effect of ANTHROPOGENIC Activities and Domestic Waste On Surface Water

ABSTRACT  The microbiological and organic pollutants characteristics of Owena dam in Ifedore local  government  area  of  Ondo-state,  Nigeria  was  carried  out,  nine  water  samples  were collected from three different parts of the downstream side, which include; around the waste disposal  site,  community  settlement  and  farm  environment.  The  microorganisms  isolated were  escherichia  coli,  enterobacter  species,  staphylococcus  aureus,  proteus  spec...

Evaluation of The Effectiveness of Quality Control in Dangote Cement Plc

   v  ABSTRACT  The project evaluates the effectiveness of quality control  in Dangote Cement PLC, Ibese  Ogun  State,  Nigeria.  Limestone,  shale  and  laterite  samples  were  from  the  mines  to determine their right grade as well as their mixing proportion. Also samples were taken from kiln feed and the final stage of cement production. The compressive strength of the cubes is determined according to the ages of the cubes which is 2 days, 7 days and 28 days while the d...
