ABSTRACT This research work show cases the potentials of Itakpe Iron concentrate for Magneto-rhelogical abilities. The concentrate was first ball milled to size reduce it then subjected to low magnetic strength from magnetic bits in-situ the magnetic fluid. It was determined that temperature affected the fluid inversely, as temperature increased... Continue Reading

Azeotropic distillation of ethanol-water mixture is accomplished by adding a volatile third component to the liquid which changes the volatility of one of the two components more than the other so the components are separated by distillation. The two components to be separated often have similar boiling point components which do or do not... Continue Reading

Briquette is a block of compressed materials suitable for burning. Briquettes can be made from low cost materials such as old newspaper, any bio mass wastes and agricultural residues. They can be used as fuel instead of charcoal, firewood or mineral coal and costs less. Depending on which materials were used to make the briquettes, they may burn... Continue Reading

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... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT In the construct of 2,000 litres capacity water reservoir galvanized steel sheet forms the tank and an angle iron rod forms the stand. Two full length galvanized sheet were marked out and cut out to the required sizes. The work stated by cutting the it gauges galvanized steel sheets of full length into geometrical dimensions of the... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The project Analysis of Enugu Coal was done to determine the characteristic properties of Enugu Coal with particular emphasis on the proximate and ultimate analysis. Coal samples from the Enugu Coal (Onyeama) mine were obtained and pulverized. The coal sample (pulverized) was subjected to proximate and ultimate analysis to determine its... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT This study has its theme as a utilization studies of Enugu coals with the view of studying its properties, classification, preparation storage etc comparing coals obtained from different locations. The Enugu coal is a sub-bitummous and non coking coal. It is very rich in waxes and resins, thus it may be suitable for the production of... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT This project “production of plane mirror using local raw material” is meant to study the possibility of producing plane mirror using sand rich in silica as its major local raw material. Plane mirror is produced by casting one side of a sheet glass. Presently in Nigeria, sheet glass is not used easily produce and as such, the... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The refurbishment of the fluid flow demonstration unit was carried out in the Chemical Engineering pilot plant laboratory of the Institute of Management and Technology Enugu. The refurbishment process was carried out to ensure adequate functioning of the unit, to allow the continuous use of equipment in the pilot plant, so that student... Continue Reading

The fabrication process, included measuring and marking out operations of which the following dimensions was taken; the cylindrical body was taken as 170mm by 700mm in height and... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT This project was carried out using coal sample from Onyeama coal mine Enugu, Enugu State.Activated coal was produced by carbonizing the coal and activating it using phosphoric acid at a temperature of 5500c. the degree of bleaching of raw palm oil was monitored using spectronic meter through absorbance measurement. The essence was to... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The repair of the fixed bed adsorption column, a product of arm field technical company was carried out for the purpose of bringing the faulty equipment back to its normal operating system. Before this exercise, the equipment was out of operation because of the completely blocked base of the fixed bed column (water column) and the... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The project aims to develop a flow process to obtain the optimum temperature and time necessary for the maximum recovery of alkali present in palm inflorescence. On this ground, a preliminary experiment was performed. During this process, both male and female palm inflorescence were compared for maximum alkali production and it was... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The need for an authentic and reliable report relating to the modification of a proto-type air-conditioning unit is inevitable. Many homes and offices use the air conditioner to cool the temperature in their respective homes and offices, so the maintenance of the air conditioner should be a top priority of every individual in order to...
