By this fact the project (mechanical lawn mower) was constructed and design to help in the development and... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT Parameters on which clear prints depends were comprehensively investigated. The study revealed that clear print depends on the impressed pressure, the working temperature and the silver print paper. Also studied were the manners of dependence of these parameters on prints impressed on sheets of varied... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT In our society today reading and writing has taken its roll as a way of measuring human knowledge. Knowledge could only be obtain successively by the use of books for research but unfortunately because of hard time, books have because very expensive. This has called for preservation of books already purchased, whether in the public... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT In this project, three alternative design solutions were considered for the foldable cam – bed. The authors utilize the local materials (with cost consideration) for the components. The merits and demerits of each of the alternative with respect to the considered group were also discusses and the solutions of the alternatives that best... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The performance of the oils selected in this work was tested for considering Viscosity, Viscosity Index, Density, Flash Point, Pour Point, and Carbon Residue. The most important of all the properties which makes the oil protect against wear is viscosity that helps to reduce friction between moving parts in the engine. The Viscosities of... Continue Reading
Abstract Rapid prototyping is widely used to reduce time to market in product design and development. Today's systems are used by engineers to better understand and communicate their product designs as well as to make rapid tooling to manufacture those products. Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) milling machines are part of this technology.... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT In the mechanical engineering department of institute of management and technology there are many machines but it is not all that is functioning well. This may airless as a result of lack of maintenance which is a prove in the breakdown of the air conditioner. The quality and effectiveness of materials were mated very well as referred...
