Operation and Maintenance of Steam Boiler

ABSTRACT The steam boiler is to control specification problem, to illustrate how the evolving algebra approach to the specification and the verification of complex system can be exploited for a reliable and well-documented development of executable but formally inspectable and systematically modifiable code. A hierarch of stepwise defined abstract machine model in developed, the ground version of which can be checked for whether it faithfully reflects the informally given problem. The sequen...

Investigation of the Spatial and Temporal Variation of Sediment Yield and Surface Runoff in Offa Watershed Kwara State

ABSTRACT In this research, an hydrological modelling tool, soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) used to investigate the spatial and temporal variation of sediment yield in a watershed. The model was run for 31years using spatial data such as Digital Elevation Model, soil map, land use and precipitation, wind and solar radiation. The results showed that the maximum value of surface Runoff was estimated as 19100.034mm in the year 2005 while the minimum surface Runoff was 1000.671mm in the yea...

Real Time School Bus Tracking System Using (Rfid)

ABSTRACT In present time due to increase in number of kidnapping and road accident cases, parent always worry about their children. This paper proposes a SMS based solution to aid parent to track their children location in real time. The proposed system takes the advantage of the location services provided by module kit which carry by the child in their school bag. It allows parent to get their child location on a real time map by the geographical co-ordinates which send by module kit. Infor...

Effect of Crushed Concrete as Coarse Aggregates in Production of Concrete

ABSTRACT In the face of a possible scarcity of natural aggregates in the future in line with sustainable construction, this research investigates the feasibility of the use of recycled coarse  aggregates as an alternative to natural coarse aggregates in structural concrete. The recycled coarse aggregate used in the research was processed from waste concrete. The percentage of recycled coarse aggregates by weight of all in aggregates in the test mixes were 0%, 5% 10% 20% and 30 % respectivel...

The Maintenance of Workshop Equipment

ABSTRACT Maintenance is the technical exercise that is usually carries out on machines to restore a component going to fail or failed component back to it design function in the machine. The role of maintenance in machine work shop can not be over emphasized, because without it, many causality that would have been recorded in a workshop would have been much, most especially in some machine workshop that deal with the use of hazardous chemical in their production process of materials. e.g petr...

Effective Communication in an Organization ( A Case Study of Niger Insurance Plc. )

CHAPTER ONE 1.1     INTRODUCTION For quite sometimes, organization have been reaping low profits, the reason for this is not for fetch. They failed to appreciate the significance of an effective communication in an organization, which is the tool or instrument of efficient and effective operation in an organization.           However, Communication is a crucial element to every organization. Communication is an organization is a primary binder, it binds every department together...

Fabrication of Domestic Deep Freezer

ABSTRACT Refrigeration is term used to denote the maintenance of a body at a temperature lower than that of its surroundings. The applications of refrigeration are many and varied. In addition to the common applications of refrigerationin the manufacture of ice, in the preservation of foods, in air-conditioning filed, and in the creation of skating rinks, the refrigeration effect is also used in the presentation of blood plasma, in the low-temperature treatment of metals and in the liquefact...

Fabrication of Metal Panel Door

ABSTRACT Security of life and property cannot be over emphasized. Human beings need privacy in their various homes and offices which necessitate the need for doors among another security services. To has been a major challenges for the people to have door of high quality and that are also durable at affordable prices by an average Nigerian. This project was done purposely to fabricate a metal panel door of high quality capable of giving maximum securities to life and properties at affordable...

Development, Fabrication and Performance Evaluation of a Single Wheel Driven Boom Sprayer

ABSTRACT The single wheel driven boom sprayer was developed, fabricated and evaluated for its performance at the department of Agricultural and Bio-environmental engineering workshop, Kwara state polytechnic, Ilorin. The spraying performance was carried out at spraying height of 0.5m, 0.6m and 0.7m respectively. The theoretical  field capacity CT, the effective field capacity CE and  Field efficiency (ŋ) at spraying height of 0.5m  are 0.285ha/hr , 0.165ha/hr and 58%, while at spraying h...

Design and Fabrication of Domestic Deep Freezer

ABSTRACT This project is on the design and fabrication of deep freezer for the preservation of items/products and making the items to cool. The project is able to develop a simple efficient economical and environmental friendly refrigeration system (A freezer) towards better technological advancement in Nigeria. This project modifies the existing refrigeration system with the use of R-600a which is ozone friendly, and non-contaminant like previous refrigerant of the hydrofluoric-carbon, HFC ...
