CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.0   GENERAL INTRODUCTION Energy is a fundamental pillar of modern society as well as being an essential building block for socio-economic development (UNIDO, 2007). The awareness of the imminent depletion of fossil fuels coupled with a global energy crisis has stimulated interest in the research for alternative energy source (Garba et al., 1996). The urgent need for alternative and cheaper energy supplies in Nigeria is increasingly apparent ...

CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Of The Study Yam (dioscorea spp.) is a multi-species crop that originated principally from Africa and Asia before spreading to other parts of the world (Hahn et al.,1987). It belongs to the family of dioscoreae within the genus dioscorea and serves as a staple crop in west Africa.(Asiedu et al., 1992). There are many cultivars of yam, though only six are important as staple ...

ABSTRACT Flours prepared from cowpea variety white using different processing methods (germination, heat treatment, fermentation and the untreated flour) were evaluated for proximate composition, functional, sensory properties and storage stability. The fermented and germinated samples were found to be richer in carbohydrate content with 59.72% and 57.78% respectively while the untreated flour had the highest protein content (27.87%). The untreated flour also compared favorably with the control (wet processed paste) ...

ABSTRACT This research is centered on the design and fabrication of copula furnace and atomizer for the production aluminium powder metal with the available material.0.4kg of refined coke was chosen as the basis for material and energy balance calculations and the design calculations performed from whose values are used to produce the design drawings. Mild steel was used for the internal linings of the furnace casing while other material were ...

ABSTRACT This research was carried out to determine the best commercial fish feed for the rapid growth and survival of cultured Clarias gariepinus. A total number of sixty four (64) Clarias gariepinus juveniles were used for this study. The juveniles reared were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments: Treatment A ((Vital feed), Treatment B (Multi feed), Treatment C (CHI feed) and Treatment D(Skretting feed). Each treatment was replicated two times in a completely ...
