INTRODUCTION Nigeria is an agricultural nation. Melon (Citrullus Vulgaris) is widely cultivated in Nigeria, among other seedlings during the planting season yearly. Several tones of the melon seeds are gathered each harvesting period but only very low percentage of the total harvest are dried by atmospheric draught and bagged for storage. High percentage waste is encored due to lack of good processing and storage facilities.Melon when properly processed yields a lot of by-products, which co...
ABSTRACT The aim of the project is to construct a soap cutting device capable of size-remaining the soap produced into regular bars and tablets without error in shapes and sizes. Soap cutting devices are used to size reduce or cut the bulk of soap produced into bars and tablets. Soap cutting devices facilitate the process of cutting the produced soap to a required size that can be handled. It is a kind of modern technical way of size reducing the already produced soap in a modern and easy...
ABSTRACT This project (construction of a simple size reduction machine) it was constructed locally with the use of local materials and tools in I. M. T. mechanical engineering workshop. The various parts of the equipment were constructed separately using mild steel before finally coupled. During the construction, the conveyors and its housing where first constructed. It consists of a shaft with helical rod wound round it. The paper was measured out and welded from a mild steel sheet of le...
ABSTRACTThe sets of seizes with shaker which was fabricated and assembled in the Chemical Engineering pilot plant was aimed at providing the students with a machine that will aid them in practical involving the separation of solid particles, besides, this, it was also fabricated sizes or diameter of the solid particles of a substances by allowed it pass through the pores or a partures of the size plates. The process of operation involved the following: Marketing out of the sieve plate u...
ABSTRACT As a result of modern development in Science and Technology, most of the large scale industrial used machine were now modernized to simple small and efficient machines. Some of these machines were either operated manually or the aid of electricity. For this reason, big metal sharpening machine was here reduced to simple term, which can be operated manually such as file and grinding machine for production firms and homes. This machine performs the same functions as the...
ABSTRACTA 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 suitab...
ABSTRACT This Machine is design and fabricate as a prerequisite for the award of a Higher National Diploma. We sketch different designs which after consideration of many factors like the machine efficiency, the cost of materials e.t.c before we finally embark on this machine.The machine major component are the shaft, the inner barrel, the outer barrel, the conveyor, the tray etc.The machine is build with very strong and well selected materials which enhances the performance of the machine. ...
PREFACE This is the presentation of an information on the detailing of structural members in Buildings. Structural detailing is a branch of structural work that transposes the idea or works f a structural engineer in working drawings for easy utilization in the building Construction works. Working drawing are produced by an architect and a structural Engineer for easy use by a Contractors. The processes of detailing put in place was in conjunction with the recommendation of the concrete ...
ABSTRACT The project covers a view and detailed explanation of the route survey which in chider reconnaissance surrey, theologize traversing and levelling operation as well as soil tests which includes compaction test, mechanical analysis, plastic and liquid limits and CBR test.The project also covers the design of pavement and the geometric design of the road way TABLE OF CONTENT TITLE PAGE APPROVAL PAGE DEDICATION ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ABSTRACT TABLE OF CONTENT CHAPTER ONE 1.0INTRODUC...
ABSTRACTEffect of temperature on viscosity and density changes on neem biodiesel and neem biodiesel-blend has been investigated. Neem oil was sourced from neem (Azadirachta indica) seed, which was extracted using soxhlet apparatus and was converted to biodiesel using transterification method. The fuel properties of the resultant biodiesel such as viscosity, density, cetane number, cloud and pour points, flash point, were measured. At varying temperature range of 25-100OC, changes in viscosi...
ABSTRACTCharging and preserving are major issues in the services of batteries since they are mostly connected to most applications. As many batteries are charged and recharged through their uses the maximum power and capacity of the battery slowly decreases. The phenomenon is termed aging is a particular concern in fields such as the automobile industry where efficient performance and long battery life is essential. Even when the batteries are left for a long time without using them, their pe...
ABSTRACT The aim of this research work is special formulation of liquid detergent for car wash. In manufacturing liquid detergents, selection of raw materials is been considered as the first step. These raw materials were selected on the basis of several factor such as human and environmental safety, cost compatibility with other ingredients and also the specific properties desired in the final products. Liquid detergent (car wash) is regarded as chemical formulation which essentially consis...
ABSTRACT This Project presents the design and construction of a microcontroller based Intelligent Emergency Light System. It is based on Hardwired control logic and micro programmed control logic using a real time program known as Assembly language. This Project Intelligent Emergency Light will turn on the Emergency light only during the Dark condition. Ordinary emergency light will be switched ON during the power failure condition. So that if there was a power failure in day time the or...
ABSTRACT: A traffic light system is an electronic circuitry designed and configured to control the flow of the traffic (vehicular and human) at roads intersection without the physical presence of a traffic warden. This is made possible through the help of a signaling device which is mounted at roads intersection. It is achieved using electronic components and a micro-controller for proper timing and execution.

Abstract: This project is aimed to implement a system that will automate the security system of a given area. It ensures that the user is alerted each time an intruder encroaches a secured position in an area of application through the sounding of alarm.(Siren) More so, information about the intruder’s position will also be made noticed to the user by this security system. The Project will be based on microcomputer and other electronic design to achieve the above stated purposes. Th...
