Abstract Industrial accidents are on the rise. This fact is even more prevalent in developing countries where the countries lack the safety standards required to ensure workplace safety in the pursuit of economic development. As land in prime locations becomes increasingly scarce, there is an argument for building skyscrapers. But this just... Continue Reading

Abstract Aquatic search and rescue in Ghana and most parts of the world poses lots of disadvantages to the rescuers. Divers being tasked for each search and rescue mission risk their lives trying to locate a body or an object underwater. Sometimes, these divers are attacked by aquatic animals or even hit by submersible objects. This approach is... Continue Reading

Abstract Fossil Fuels are currently classified as some of the leading producers of greenhouse gases which are major agents of Global warming. This study establishes the benefits Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) would have when used as a fuel in a hybrid-electric vehicle. The study establishes a Parallel-Hybrid vehicle model equipped with a control... Continue Reading

Abstract This report presents the optimisation of a ceramic-matrix composite (anthill sand and cement), reinforced with treated coir fibres for applications in the construction of a low costsolar powered cooking stove to solve the current trends in the depletion of forest spaces in Ghana due to excessive destruction as a result of using firewood...

Abstract Diabetes mellitus, also known as diabetes has on major effect on its patients. This is the effect of impaired wound healing. Patients thus get minor wounds such as small cuts which become non-healing and are liable to get infected. Severe cases of such occasions lead to amputations. A solution to this problem is tissue regeneration with... Continue Reading

AbstractThe main purpose of the project is to convert polyethylenetetraphylate (PET), a known plastic waste material in Ghana, to wealth. Composite samples were produced by heating aggregates together with shredded PET plastic waste material, while bitumen was added to the plasticcoated aggregates. The composites produced were of 4.5 wt%, 9.0 wt%,... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT In this work, the state of stress between adhesively bonded single lap-joints was determined. The state of stress between adhesively bonded single lap-joints was determined by using a linear elastic analysis and experimental testing. In the analysis part of this work, the shear and normal stresses in an adhesively bonded single lap... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT This work analysed the performance of an automatic control system for the online blending of petrol with corrosion inhibitor in the direct, continuous electronic fuel injection automobile engine. The automatic control system was designed by superimposing a feedforward control system on a feedback control system. The design of the... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT This research work focused on the use of an hybrid RANS-LES turbulence model in simulating and checking the drag performance characteristics of an aerodynamic vehicle. The Spalart-Allmaras shear stress transport (SST)- Scale Adaptive Simulation (SAS) Turbulence model was selected for use, and with the help of OpenFOAM Finite Volume... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT This research work is aimed at using the energy and exergy analysis with thermodynamic data to suggest improvements in the performance of steam and gas turbine power plants. In this regard, specific data from Egbin steam power plant and Geregu I gas turbine power plant were used for the analysis. In the analysis, scientific tools such as... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT This study brought to the fore, a critical evaluation of the potentials of natural gas in the economic development of Nigeria. Natural gas option was considered the best alternative energy resource to other resources for optimizing income earning, indigent capacity building and the socio-economic development of an over populated Nigeria....
