Designing and Experimenting a Greenhouse Dryer for Fruits, Vegetables and Spices
Sesan Opeyemi Alabi*, Adesoji Matthew Olaniyan, Adesola Adebanjo Satimehin, Folasayo Titilola Fayose
Curbing postharvest losses in fruits, vegetables and spices by drying has been a serious challenge due to limitations of open sun drying and high cost of mechanical dryers. In this study, a Greenhouse dryer (GHD) was designed, constructed and tested. Experiments were conducted using Completely Randomized Design (CRD ) to evaluate the performance of the GHD with fresh plantain, tomato and turmeric
Design and Construction of an Electric and Automatic Incubator for the Incubation of Chicken Eggs at the Higher Institute of Technology of Mamou, Guinea
Ansoumane Sakouvogui*, Orabaou Beavogui, Mohamed Salif Camara, Jean Ouèrè Toupouvogui4
The objective of this study is to design and build an electric and automatic incubator for the incubation of chicken eggs. The methodology consists of: determining the geometric parameters of the incubator; choose the various electronic and electrical components; build the incubator; program the various commands, make the heat balance; draw the diagram of the whole system and experiment with the i
Study of the Electronic Properties of (Cellulose Acetate/x-MoO3)
Dina Ezzat
Chromism-based optical filters is an interested field of research, due to their application as electrochromic materials. Typically, electrochromic transition metal oxides such as MoO3 and are utilized in applications such as smart windows and electrochromic devices (ECD). Molecular modeling based on density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP/ LanL2DZ was utilized to study the effect of addition of
Exploring The Energetic Efficiency of Internal Combustion Engines: A Comparative Study of Ignited Spark Exergy and Energy Analysis for Hydrogen Fuel, Methane, and Gasoline
Julius Ibeawuchi Onyewudiala*, Nnadikwe Johnson
Exergy analysis is an invaluable tool used to identify the individual contributions of different processes in transferring input functionality to a system. It allows us to pinpoint exactly where useful energy losses occur within a given system or process. In this particular study, our focus lies on conducting an exergy comparison of the performance of an internal combustion engine with spark-ignit
Assessing Pump Reliability: a Case Study of Port Harcourt Refinery
Chiagorom V.C.*, Osuchukwu L.C.
The goal of the maintenance optimization process is to select the appropriate maintenance technique for each piece of equipment within a system and identifying the periodicity that the maintenance technique should be conducted to achieve regulatory requirements, maintenance targets concerning safety, equipment reliability, system availability and costs. This paper presents a predictive maintenance
Elaeis Guineensis Jacq SHELL with Mollusca Gastropoda Shell as Coarse Material for Concrete: An Eco-Friendly Reuse
Okure Unyime Enobong*, Nnadikwe Johnson, Mafakheri Shahin, Schlicht, Ramona
In this study, we investigate the performance of Elaeis Guineensis Jacq Shell (EGS), commonly known as palm kernel shells, and Mollusca Gastropoda Shell (MGS), referring to snail shells, as coarse aggregates in concrete. A total of forty cubes and forty cylinders were fabricated using these shells as substitutes for granite materials. The replacement of granite was carried out in 20% increments, r
