DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTERIZED FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING SYSTEM FOR A HOTEL INDUSTRY (A CASE STUDY OF MODOTEL HOTEL, OKPARA AVENUE ENUGU)

ABSTRACT The importance of financial accounting is gradually being recognized as germane to prudent management of any business firm.  This has necessitated the need for the computerization of structured operations of the financial managers structured operations are known with certainly for instance, the computation and decisions based on financial ratios. This project therefore is a case study of Modotel Hotel.  It describes the computerization of the financial accounting of the hotel as pa...

CONSTRUCTION OF EQUIPMENT FOR DEODORIZING KEROSENE

ABSTRACT The motive of this project is to construct  equipment for deodorizing kerosene, hence the smell of kerosene is totally eradicated. The equipment was constructed with flat sheet plates of a desired standard, the dimension and the truncated parts were coupled and welded in order to fasten the parts together.  The material was selected to avoid the effect of rust due to the contact of the separating items or material with the walls of metal sheet. The effect of this equipment will be ...

CONSTRUCTION OF ORSAT GAS ANALYZER

ABSTRACT The Orsat Gas Analyzer was constructed at the project development institute (PRODA), Enugu.  The operation involved the laboratory glass blowing which entails the heating of a glass tube. The heating •continues until the glass tube reaches its plastic state. The shape of the tube is changed or the required shape blown by pulling, bending by hand, cutting with a knife and also blown with mouth or denting the shape by the application of a suitable tool.  The selection of the materi...

CONSTRUCTION OF A SIMPLE PAINT MIXER

ABSTRACT A paint mixer is defined as a pattern constructed for the production (mixing) of paint manually.  The method of fabrication of the paint mixer involved a preliminary computation of the dimensions of the standard mixer in relation to the dimension of the reacting vessel in which they will be used in marking out, cutting out to sizes, rolling, folding, welding, body-filling and painting.  The first step taken in the fabrication of this project work was the selection of material suit...

PRODUCTION OF PLANT MIRROR USING LOCAL RAW MATERIAL

ABSTRACT This project “production of plane mirror using local raw material” is meant to study the possibility of producing plane mirror using sand rich in silica as its major local raw material. Plane mirror is produced by casting one side of a sheet glass.  Presently in Nigeria, sheet glass is not used easily produce and as such, the local raw material used in the in the production of plane mirror in this product backing paint.  The facilities for the production include spraying gun a...

CONSTRUCTION OF STEEL CUPBOARD

ABSTRACT A workshop cupboard is a facility designed from mild steel for the storage of various materials, like book material and non-book materials e.g. workshop tools, labouratory wares and reagents, etc; after operations in a chemical labouratory, mechanical workshop, or else where. The construction of a workshop cupboard requires the consideration of lots of characteristics of the materials, which are used for the construction, such as physical and mechanical; chemical properties, service ...

ANALYSIS OF CRUDE PALM OIL

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 p...

THE CURRENT STATUS AND FUTURE CHALLENGES OF ELECTRICITY MARKET IN NIGERIA IN THE FACE OF DEREGULATION

ABSTRACT Electricity is fundamental and inevitable to our daily living as it lighting our environment, powers our homes, schools, hospitals, offices, businesses, and aid industrialization, It is a known phenomena that the economic growth of a nation rides on the wheel of electricity. While the telecommunication market in Nigeria has recorded advancement and stability, electricity market in Nigeria is facing mix challenges ranging from slow growth in generation capacity (generation capacity pe...

DESULPHURISATION KEROSENE

ABSTRACT This report aimed at determining the presence and removal of mercaptan sulphur in kerosene using colour indicator method.  It is known that impurities such as free sulphur, sulphur dioxide, marketers, finding materials etc. are found in petroleum products. Consequently, absorbents like molecular sieve, calcium oxide and even activated carbon could be used to trap these impurities, thereby making the  product impurity free. The afficac of  the absorption  using  calcium (Cao) �...

DESIGN THE ABSORBER (SCRUBBER) IN THE PROCESS PLANT FOR THE PRODUCTION OF 100,000 METRIC TONNES/ YEAR OF ETHANOL FROM DIRECT HYDRATION OF ETHYLENE

ABSTRACT The general approach to any design of a process plant involve an advanced network of chemical engineering process. Absorber is a process plant or equipment that are used in the purification of gas or separation of unwanted gas from the mixture when it comes in contact with the liquid. In this models mass transfer reaction and equilibrium process as they prevail in conventional tray absorbers and in cascade of trickle bed reactors are incorporated. Owring to the mass transfer characte...

THE DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF A PRESSURIZED KEROSENE OVEN (60 X 90)

ABSTRACT It views of the smoke released when using a firewood for baking cakes, bread, preserve fresh fishes and warming or remove ice form frozen food by some mothers at home, restaurant, fast food shops etc. We discovered the need to design and fabricated kerosene pressurized Oven that will reduce the amount of smoke emitting into the atmosphere and improve the quality of baked food in the society. Kerosine pressurized oven will prevent  unnecessary heat from harming the users and lime was...

SELECTION OF WATER PUMPS

ABSTRACT The aim of this project is to capture the utilization of pumps for various uses and to maximize the principle of selection of water pumps through the application and pump selection for specific uses our society will transformed wholestically to an industrious nation in the clean water supply for supply for domestic, industrial and down stream sector. Pump parameters and selection are analyzed categorically to enable a good conception in practical.  Centrifugal pumps can also be foun...

Design of a Biogas Plant

Note: This work contains only the schematic diagram/design of a biogas plant Biogas typically refers to a mixture of gases produced by the breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. Biogas can be produced from regionally available raw materials such as recycled waste. It is a renewable energy source and in many cases exerts a very small carbon footprint. Biogas is produced by anaerobic digestion with anaerobic bacteria or fermentation of biodegradable materials such as manure, s...

Fundamental Principles Of Drying

INTRODUCTION The separation operation of drying converts a solid, semi-solid or liquid feedstock into a solid product by evaporation of the liquid into a vapor phase via application of heat. In the special case of freeze drying, which takes place below the triple point of the liquid being removed, drying occurs by sublimation of the solid phase directly into the vapor phase. This definition thus excludes conversion of a liquid phase into a concentrated liquid phase (evaporation), mechanical d...

THE EFFECT OF ENVIRONMENT ON CORROSION

ABSTRACT In this research project, the various nail were subjected to six environments so as to check the effect of the environments on corrosion of the nails. Two sets of nails were used; normal nail and concrete nail.  Six of each type while the other not coated. The research was carried out in the physical chemical laboratory of the institute of management and technology. The environments used are acidic solution, alkaline solution, salt solution, boiled water, air medium and lubricating...
