ABSTRACT This project is on the design, construction and testing of a cassava pelletizing machine. The machine processes cassava mash by extrusion into cylindrical form of about 2-3cm length and 9mm diameter called pellets. The machine is made of these major components: hopper, barrel, auger conveyor and a circular die plate. The hopper is made of a stainless steel 1mm thick cut from a flat metal sheet. The sides if ...

Abstract This study was on effects of urban construction on vegetation and rainfall runoff. Three objectives were raised which included: Observations from monitoring of two adjacent catchments are utilized to characterize rainfall runoff response from different types of urban construction, the temporal and spatial change in urbanization is mapped for a particular period and Finally, a semi distributed hydrological model is calibrated and validated against observed rainfall runoff and subsequently ...

ABSTRACT This project deals with the construction and fabrication of a two face gas burner. The gas components consists of the following major components; burner, injector opening, mixing tube, burner support, etc. The gas stove was constructed from medium carbon steel material. The choice of the selected material has to do with cost, and local availability. The distance between the cooking pot and the stove burner is 40mm, and the ...

ABSTRACT Distance measurement plays a vital role in engineering, science and business. The distance is always measured between two points. Generally distance measurement is possible only by making contact with the target whose distance is to be measured, but this project discusses the measurement of distance by digital measuring instrument. This is done by providing a circular object (wheel) of about one meter in circumference. Here the distance is calculated ...

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1   BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY Abandoned projects and construction failure including building and other civil engineering infrastructure development project like houses, churches, schools, roads, bridges, dams, tunnels, air port, sea port etc. litter the whole Nigeria. Osemenan (1987) reported that Nigeria has become the “world’s junk-yard of abandoned and failed projects worth billions of naira and it is greatly unthinkable that Nigeria blessed with so great potentials ...

Abstract This Paper Documents The Design And Construction Of Dc Motor Speed Control Using Arduino Board. The requirements are defined and then the design process explained. The final product is exhibited followed by a discussion of the success of the project, with suggestions for how to further improve the device. The project was successful, however a noise related bug was found with the over-current protection feature; the report includes recommendations ...

ABSTRACT This project work is on design of a variable regulated power supply. This work describes you how to design a variable regulated power supply circuit. The main advantage of this power supply circuit is that it can vary the output voltage and output current. A variable regulated power supply supplies different level of electric energy to an electrical load. The primary function of a variable power supply is to ...

ABSTRACT A book shelve is a structure which here series of compartments for the preservation of books, valuable or useful materials, which are made up of metal, wood or plastic materials of construction. (Engineering materials). The book shelve was constructed in the institute. (I.M.T Enugu). However, before the construction, two standard metal sheets of length 96 inches and height 48 inches respectively, where dimension and divided into these required dimensions ...

ABSTRACT The project title “fabrication of flow nozzle” was done by a selected group of ND II Chemical Engineering Students and the practiced objective (aim) of the project was centered on constructing a nozzle that is capable of transporting fluid from one to the other, to determine the charge in velocity of the moving fluid across two given areas of the nozzle and to be able to measure the quantity ...

ABSTRACT Blender is an electric machine for size reducing soft food or liquid mixture. Blender is some time called liquidizer consists of a glass jar or jug containing a steel blade assembly at the base driven by a small electric motor. Construction of blender was done based on the principle of size of reduction using electric motor as the major driver force.  During the construction of blender, we adopted different ...

ABSTRACT This project report is on the construction of a metal rack which can be put to use in laboratories, industries, shops, kitchens, and also for displaying various articles.  The construction work was done in a mechanical work shop. Racks are of various types which concides with the numerous uses to which they are applied.  Some types of racks includes wooden racks and metal. The metal rack was constructed using ...

ABSTRACT         A Juice extractor machine is a device that is used to extract liquid (Juice) from fruits and vegetables in a process called juicing. The machine is constructed manually with the use of local materials and tools.  The material used for the construction of the machine is mild steel sheet. During the construction of the machine, the various parts of it were constructed separately using the mild steel sheet ...

ABSTRACT A cyclone is an equipment or a device used for the separation of dust particles from air, which has no moving component parts. This mechanism can also be defined as a system of winds circulating about a center of relatively low barometric pressure and on the earths surface, blowing inward in spiral form. This project is constructed for the separation of liquid – liquid and solid – liquid mixture, ...

ABSTRACT In this project, distillation is made up of a column, condenser and reflux divider. An overview of the dimensions of some of the major parts is: Height of the column = 450mm Diameter of the column = 100mm Length of the condenser = 150mm Diameter of the condenser =90mm Diameter of the pipe = 22mm Length of the reflux divider = 150mm Height of the reflux divider = 150mm ...

ABSTRACT There are two methods of constructing heat exchangers: Plate type.  Parallel flow-the hot fluid and the coolant flow in the same direction. Counter flow:-           The hot fluid and the coolant flow in opposite direction.  Cross flow: The hot fluid and the coolant flow at 90 angles (perpendicular) to each other. The four heat exchanger parts identified were.  Tube sheet shell Baffles single- pass heat exchangers have fluids that pass ...

ABSTRACT This project was constructed with the desired materials of construction. The materials include aluminum, glass and wood.  Aluminum was used in forming the skeleton of the structure, glass was used for the doors while wood was used in the sides, top, base and partitions. After building the skeleton of the structure with aluminum, other materials were used and made up the complete structure.  Materials like glass and wood. Among ...

ABSTRACT The construction of propeller agitator used for agitating and mixing of low viscous fluid was fabricated in the mechanical workshop of the institute of management and technology Enugu. In the construction, galvanized mild steel was chosen due to its inherent properties.  After procurement, the following constructional operations were carried out; working drawing, marking, center punching folding, welding and finally subjected to finishing touched of the mixer which was sand ...

CHAPTER ONE 1.1  INTRODUCTION A metal shelf is an invention with comportment and partition where books, files and some chemicals are packed in laboratory, offices, libraries and even homes have shelves. A shelf can be wooden, metal or glass. They could also be dismountable and undismountable. The  one used in the libraries and offices for packing books are called book shelf. In  industries, are stored in shelves are referred to as ...
