Equipment development in Ghana to harvest oranges have over the years focused on simple units such as Garden tool, basket style picker etc. and common methods of harvesting oranges in Ghana are the use of manual branch shaking, manual pull with the hook stick. The effects leads to:Infestation of a bacteria called Alicyclobacillus when the fruits fall on the ground.The bacteria lives on the fruit which contaminates it.Bruises through impact on the hard surface.The main aim of this study is to ...
The Crude Oil Quality Group (COQG) is sponsoring this document as an informational tool to be usedby personnel in the petroleum industry. This document is intended to provide basic information on theeffects that certain crude oil contaminants have on refinery operations. COQG’s goal is for thisdocument to provide beneficial material to all parties involved in the crude oil supply chain - from thewellhead, to pipelines, and to the refinery gate.This initial document is intended to be the fir...
ABSTRACT In a study at KNUST weather station, the crop co-efficient values at initial, development, mid-season, and late season stages of ABONTEM MAIZE (hybrid variety) were determined as 0.42, 0.98, 1.05, and 0.32, respectively. These locally determined values of ABONTEM hybrid maize compared favourably with those recommended by FAO. The corresponding FAO values are 0.4, 0.80, 1.15, and 0.70. The FAO values are average values and recommended for a wide range of locations, but those dete...
ABSTRACT The Student Industrial Working Scheme (SIWES) is a program that was designed by the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) with the aim of aiding young science and engineering university students to have an experience of working in industries and companies based on their fields of study in order to extend their learning outside the classrooms and lecture halls. This is a report which contains information about my SIWES experience. It contains details on the company I worked in which wa...
Voice Over Internet Protocol: This Project is basically on making calls over a local area Network
ABSTRACT Nigeria’s dependence on conventional energy for power needs has been her undoing. Given the limited supply, and inherent dangers, her quest for electrical power self sufficiency has remained a dream. As the inhabitants of the world increases, pressure is placed on almost all the essential commodities for human satisfaction. The continuous supply of power from the national grid to industries and establishments has become a major problem thereby forcing some companies to go for gen...
Team Oil from [the] Soil is comprised of a group of senior chemical engineers at Calvin College who are proposing an alternative method to producing biodiesel. This alternative entails converting the oil found in seeds from the Jatropha Curcas plant into biodiesel. Team Oil from [the] Soil plans to design and optimize a full scale plant that extracts and converts the oil found in Jatropha Curcas seeds into a usable diesel fuel substitute. In addition to this, the team plans to build a simpl...
This project envisages the establishment of a plant for the production of high fructose corn syrup with a capacity of 6,000 tons per annum. The country`s requirement of corn syrup is met through import. The present (2013) demand for syrup is estimated at 5,000 tons. The demand for the product is projected to reach 8,858 tones and 14,266 tons by the year 2018 and year 2023, respectively. The principal raw materials required are starch, alpha-amylase, gluco-amaylase, and glucose isomerase. St...

ANTENNA SIMULATION: How to optimize your design. antenna are virtually everywhere from commercial applications such as smartphone,RFID tags and wireless printers, to deference application such as phased array antennas, to provide integral ground based communication systems. electromagnetic simulation is highly valuable tool in antenna design and platform integration. it provides the designer with the ability to virtually design and evaluate 'what if' scenarios as well as verify the fin...
ABSTRACT The two most common condenser tube problems faced by industrial users are internal tube fouling and tube failure. Fouling can have a major impact on the generating efficiency or the capacity of the condenser while the tube leaks or failure can seriously impact unit availability and reliability. Fundamental understanding of the root cause(s) of these issues and th...
Machining: Sintered parts do have some porosity and it is, therefore, necessary to differentiate their machining behaviour from those of fully dense wrought products. The major differences are, as follows: (i) when a porous metal is machined, the depth of work hardening is more important than for the wrought metal, as in case of former, pores create stress concentration. (ii) The temperature at the tool end causes oxidation of the pore surface. (iii) The surface porosity enhances tool vibra...
ABSTRACT This report brings to the fore, The Renewable Energy Sources presently accessible to the human species, and the feasibility of harnessing these energy sources in Nigeria. Since the dawn of the 21st Century, Global Warming, Carbon Emission Reductions and Renewable Energy Sources have all been major topics of discussion, permeating into the facets of every socio-economic and political forum such as, Davos Economic Forum, G7 and G20 Conventions, and has spawned specific platforms for di...
DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN EXPERT SYSTEM ON TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE OF EPOSON PRINTER
Introduction: In 2000, Nigeria developed a policy on Information Technology (IT), with the aim of making Nigeria an IT adapted country in Africa and also a leading player in the use of ICT as an implement for sustainable development and global competitiveness. Since then Information and Communication Technology has been on the lips of every academic. The world is about to leave behind anyone that is not ICT compliant. ICT has various forms and roles which it performs in learning, especially...
