ABSTRACT Relevant literature for the modeling and analysis of failure of GRP composites were reviewed. Samples of GRP composites were prepared by hand-lay up. Composites samples were subjected to compressive tests using a tensometer. Mechanical characteristics, such as modulus of elasticity; compressive strength, proportionality limit, elastic limit and critical strain of composites were evaluated from compression tests results. It was found that the compressive strength of all the samples is...
ABSTRACT An experimental evaluation of the performance of a charcoal stove designed to reduce human labour and health hazards associated with frying in open fire was carried out. The channel- type metallic stove was lagged with 2.54 mm thick glass wool. The charcoal grate is 160 mm from the floor and has 44 holes of 12 mm diameter each to serve as air holes and provide passage for ashes, drilled in it. The charcoal bed is 230 mm from the bottom of the pot and the channel gap is 8mm. A 300 mm ...
ABSTRACT Data warehousing and business intelligence are key enablers in the drive to harness management information and improve decision-making. They underpin the recent wave of interest in data mining and customer relationship management and create opportunities for performance improvements based on quantitative analysis at every level in an organization. Data warehousing is a relatively new field in information technology, and current research centers primarily on data warehousing in busi...
ABSTRACT This research work designs a wireless power transfer system (WPT) for non smart phones as an alternative to existing wired power supply systems for these devices. Initially, the general concept of known WPT systems and methods are introduced and reviewed. It was noted that most existing WPT models do not consider external interferences in their design even though, it is well known that high frequency circuits may interfere with a WPT system. Additionally till date, existing WPT syste...
ABSTRACT The construction industry consumes about forty percent of the world’s energy. The high increasing rate of construction activities has led to exploitation of most of the natural resources. These activities have led to massive deforestation and clearing of green cover for settlement and infrastructure development in Kampala. The repercussions of these activities are catastrophic such as poor air quality, urban heat island effect, toxic gas emission, increased cooling costs, which lat...
ABSTRACT In recent years the entire world is a warring about energy resources limitation, specifically Sudan country confronts critical crises in fossil fuel resources and yet more of electricity energy producing from fired thermal power plants. One from these plants Garri”2” combined cycle producing about 180MW. Exergy analysis in the light second law of thermodynamics is powerful tools to investigate from optimization of engineering devices. Exergy analysis has been carried out analytic...
ABSTRACT Robotic is an electromechanical system, help improve production accuracy, and reduces time and increase production. In this project a study of 3D robotic ARM design, simulation concepts and theories for the painting of cars that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots is conducted. The simulation covers different parameters to evaluate the design. Moreover simulation environment help to test these parameters cost effectiveness of building robots and ...
Abstract In the agricultural projects that use the center pivot irrigation system, which depends on the groundwater wells as a source of water using turbine pumps, which are actuated by internal combustion engines, the suspension of the center pivot irrigation device on the movement when a malfunction occurs with its continuous flow of water is a big problem and waste water, fuel and time, It also damages some crops that are heavily affected by water,this research studies the design of an aut...
Abstract Abstract -This study aimed to use and attempted to apply total quality management TQM in the Sudanese garment manufacturing factories to improve productivity and profitability and product quality and solving the factory's problems to meet customer satisfaction and decrease the garment imported and determined the potential of competition of local factories in the local and global market. The study designed and employed two methods, one for local garments factories in Sudan and the sec...

ABSTRACT The study was to design a sanitary landfill in Kapchorwa central division to curb the problem of improper solid waste disposal. According to the study that was conducted within the municipality; it was found out that the municipality majorly had four main sources at which the solid wastes are generated; Residential wastes, Commercial wastes and Institutional wastes Qualitative data was collected to know the characteristics of solid wastes whereas quantitative data was used to measu...
ABSTRACT In this current situation, the degree of security is feeble. So there is a lot of robbery, theft going on in and around the world. So, people fear to keep any of their valuables in their homes. Henceforth, many people prefer to keep it in banks. However, in this insecure world even banks are not too safe enough to satisfy people needs. A common man/woman feels his/her valuables are secured if there is efficiency in security. Hence this project can give effective security in minimal c...
ABSTRACT The project is designed to automatically supply continuous power to a load through one of the three sources of supply that are: solar, mains and generator or to combine the sources to supply the load all together at the same time. The three socket outlets represent the three sources. The sockets outlets are connected to three step down transformers which reduce the input 230V or 240V to 12Vac. These 12Vac are rectified and regulated to 5Vdc which act as an input to the microcontrolle...
ABSTRACT Rural roads constitute about 65% of the Uganda road network, which provide a critical link in the road transport network, facilitating access to and development of the rural areas. Traffic volume on rural roads in Uganda is very low, 90 % of the rural road network has an Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) less than 200, with an average road width of about 5.0 meters. The main problem facing the development of rural roads lies in the method of construction. Common methods used...
ABSTRACT Irrigation is a technology that ensures a good soil-moisture balance resulting into a good environment for crop growth for the well-established irrigation systems This project covered the different sections which included the site visits, desk studies, topographic and geographic studies, nature of the land. The specific objective entailed the determination of pertinent parameters for the design, coming up with the system layout to ensure every farmer gets water and sizing of the pipe...
