ABSTRACT With the ever increasing need to optimize production, the accurate understanding of the mechanics of multi-phase flow and its effect on the pressure drop along the oil-well flow string is becoming more pertinent. The efficient design of gas-lift pump, electric submersible pumps, separators, flow strings and other production equipment... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT  Anaemia is one of the most clinically encountered conditions in animals and humans. It continues to be a global public health problem, affecting both developing and developed countries with major consequences for human and animal health as well as social and economic development. The objective of this study was to develop and test a rat... Continue Reading

CHAPTER ONE 1.0     Introduction 1.1     Background of the Study           The number of people with high blood pressure is in the increase and research has shown that this condition is heightened by overweight of the patient. That is to say, the more one increases in weight, the higher the tendency of him or her becoming... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT This research work presents the results of the thermal power calibration of Nigeria Research Reactor-1 (NIRR-1), a low power Miniature Neutron Source Reactor (MNSR), using calorimetric and heat balance methods. The calibration was performed at two different power levels: half power (15kW) and full power (30kW). The calorimetric method... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT In the present work, STAR-CCM+ CFD code was used to investigate steady state thermal hydraulic parameters in the core of Ghana Research Reactor-1 (GHARR-1). The core was segmented into 21 axial segments. 3D-CAD parametric solid modeler embedded in STARCCM+ was used to model the geometry. The geometry was discretized by the use of... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT This work wasaimed at the design and fabrication of a pilot scale reactor for the production of aluminium hydroxide from aluminium sulphate obtained from Kankara kaolin for use in Zeolite Y synthesis. XRD, XRF and BET analyses were carried out on the aluminium hydroxide first prepared at bench scale and pilot scale. The aluminum hydroxide... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT An experimental evaluation of the performance of a charcoal stove designed to reduce human labour and health hazards associated with frying in open fire was carried out. The channel- type metallic stove was lagged with 2.54 mm thick glass wool. The charcoal grate is 160 mm from the floor and has 44 holes of 12 mm diameter each to serve as... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Soil is the ultimate foundation material which supports the structure. The proper functioning of the structure will, therefore, depend on the engineering properties of the underlying soil. The objectives of this research are to investigate the engineering properties of soils found in the site by conduction different types of laboratory... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Objectives: to explore the anxiolytic activity of ethanolic leaf extract of culcasian scadens in experimental animal models . Methods:  The anxiolytic activity was examined by using the elevated plus maze (EPM) and open field test (OFT), hole board test and light and dark box exploration test. Twenty Swiss albino male mice were divided... Continue Reading

The sample from this study comprised of 110 students and 10 academic staffs from Schools/Departments of Business Education of selected institutions. The data used were collected through a questionnaire and... Continue Reading

Background: A large number of herbal medicines are widely in-use to offer relief from hepatic injury, although attempts are still ongoing globally to get scientific proofs for these orthodox remedies, there is still paucity of data on Russelia equisetiformes. There are solitary reports of anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antinociceptive... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT This study investigated the effects of a combination of arthemether and diminazene aceturate therapy on experimental Trypanosoma brucei infection in albino rats. Thirty five male albino rats were used for the study. They were randomly assigned to seven groups of five rats each, after acclimatization. The groupings and their specific... Continue Reading
