The fabrication and performance assessment of eco-friendly brake pad using palm kernel shell (PKS) wasproduced for engineering applications. The materials were ground and prepared for the production of brake pads. Some physical and mechanical properties were used to determine the capability of the produced pads in service conditions. The production and testing of motor vehicle brake pads using locally available raw material has been undertaken and accomplished. The disc brake friction lining ...
The characterization of Ezinifite clay from Anambra State, Nigeria, is presented in this research paper. The clay sample was mined and then processed to a standard form for analysis using recognized processes. SEM, XRF, and DTA/TGA were used to determine the mineralogy, chemical compositions, and thermal behavior of the clay. The clay samples' morphological, chemical, and mechanical properties were studied at temperatures ranging from 900oC to 1200oC, with a temperature interval of 100oC. The...

Epoxy nanocomposites have found their path through a wide range of applications in marine, aerospace, automotive and electronics packaging industries. However, epoxy nanocomposites have proved to be vulnerable when exposed to different corrosive environments and the role of nanocarbon in leading the extent of changes of their properties have been a subject of research in several studies. This study aims at investigating the influence environmental degradation has on the mechanical properties ...
ABSTRACT Hamu - Mukasa road, just like most other roads in Kampala city has a number of defects such as potholes, cracks, ravels aggregate polishing, and many more accompanied by lack of drainage which in turn facilitate the high traffic congestion and delays, especially at peak demand periods in addition to comfortability and unsafeness of the road users. Due to the strategic location and importance of the road as it provides access to institutions of learning such as Muteesa 1 Royal Univers...
ABSTRACT This report is from a study that looks at the nature, practices, challenges, and possible solutions for solid waste management systems in Bwaise, Kampala. The study used mainly questionnaires, interviews and observation. The findings suggest that in Bwaise, poor communities could generate income from waste disposal activities, if certain measures are put in place. Furthermore, in this area, 60% of the garbage is biodegrable, composed mainly of food related waste. Non-biodegradable w...
ABSTRACT Trenchless construction is the use of construction methods to install and repair underground utility systems with minimum open cut excavation. This includes the use of pipe jacking, micro tunneling, horizontal direction drilling, and guided boring systems. This was adopted to replace the aging utility infrastructure and install new facilities, while minimizing disruptions to traffic communities and business, reducing environmental impact and lowering the high costs of pavement remov...
ABSTRACT Kyakaliba is a small village nestled in Buntanjwa Sub-county two miles away from Hoima Town in the Hoima district in Western Uganda. The population is 500 people (Source: Population Census; 2014) which is growing fast as a result of the Oil sprouting economic activity in the district. Currently, the available water sources are 3 Shallow wells, a spring, and Rainwater harvest but of the three wells, only one works with an issue of having too much Iron in the water, the spring runs dr...
Abstract This project report describes the design and implementation of an Intelligent Voice Controlled Wheel Chair for disabled people. The model utilizes an Arduino Voice Recognition Module interfaced with a high-level 8-Mt AVR Microcontroller to control motorized movements using voice commands. The model provides both a convenient and non-technical solution to navigate in a disabled home for even the critically crippled who can talk. To avoid uncontrolled collisions, the wheelchair include...
ABSTRACT In modern technology, wireless communication is widespread and it started to be used in everyday life, for example, Wireless phone chargers, home automation systems, etc. widely use wireless communication. People want smart systems to make their life easy, and I want to discard the cables that limit our mobility. The purpose of this project is to design and implement a free intercom system that uses WIFI in p2p (Peer-to-Peer) or WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) as a means of commu...
ABSTRACT This report contains five chapters, in chapter one, as an introductory part of this project report, contained in chapter, we first define what accident is, the background of the study, that is to say, how the problem started or what prompted us to carry out the project. The problem statement, this is about the challenges we are solving, the main objective, specific objectives, significance of the study, and scope of the study. In chapter two, this chapter covers the literature revi...

A detailed introduction of the project that was considered for the design; which includes the background and introduction of both the project and the site....
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 measur...
ABSTRACT Water pollution is a serious problem for the entire world. It threatens the health and well being of humans, plants, and animals. As the world became more industrial and smaller due to communications and trade, accidental and purposive hazardous dumping have contributed to the problem of sources of water pollution. All water pollution is dangerous to the health of living organisms, but springs and borehole pollution can be especially detrimental to the health of humans. Springs and ...
This paper is a detailed study of IoT devices and effectively using them for Energy Management at our Homes. IoT Energy Management is an operation that involves organizing and administration of energy consumption patterns in numerous industries. As a part of the Smart System, Home Energy Management System (HEMS) is becoming increasingly essential, because energy consumption of urban residential sector accounts for a noteworthy amount of total energy consumption. However, a conventional HEMS h...
