CONSTRUCTION OF A CHEMICAL RACK, STUDY APPARATUS ABSTRACT The construction of the 500 gallous (2,250 litre) of water is a project which has definite mathematical patterns. The choice of a cylindrical pattern of design involved the application of mathematical deductions to analyse the size of materials required. The introductory and scope of the project emphasized the construction and installation of a reservoir for water that could supply a community with water. The tank’s installed and kept on a circular stand bass t avoid the reshape of the bottom and of the tank. The project studied the industrial applications of the project with specific choices of material of construction. The sequence of construction and the procedure of installation suggested that the project has been completed for use in the storage. The cost of fabrication of this cylindrical type is cheaper than what is obtained in the open market. The cost effectiveness of the construction makes the project very necessary; the recommendation for improvement on future constructions.

Reservoirs are used for different purposes ranging from use in the chemical industries to use in the domestic homes of different chemical and physical properties others are used for the storage of solids and semi-finished items. They are reservoirs that are designed in the form of silos for the storage of Agricultural equipments and even industries products. Some reservoirs are sued in the cryogenic storages. Storage containers that are used for storing cryogenic substances are designed 10 percent volume larger than the substance so as to reduce rapid build up of pressure in the container. The major problems of most reservoirs is leakage. Leakage usually result when controlled resulting to the collapse of a section. It might equally result from the rushing of a part of the container. 1.1 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT The scope of the project is the design of a 2.5m3 reservoir for holding water with the following requirements; i. ability to withstand corrosion ii. cost should be comparable to what is obtainable in the open market iii. with the capacity to be used for hygienic water storage iv. should not be constructed of a material that can easily breakdown on any impact of stress or be subjected to easy leakage of water v. should be installed on a support after construction.

CONSTRUCTION OF A “CHEMICAL RACK” ABSTRACT The project done was a metal chemical rack. The rack was made of steel, which is soft to cutting, blending and several other operations applied to the metal during construction. The main purpose of constructing this metal rack is to be used for storing chemicals in the laboratory for easy... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT This project report is on the construction of a metal rack which can be put to use in laboratories, industries, shops, kitchens, and also for displaying various articles. The construction work was done in a mechanical work shop. Racks are of various types which concides with the numerous uses to which they are... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT This project was constructed with the desired materials of construction. The materials include aluminum, glass and wood. Aluminum was used in forming the skeleton of the structure, glass was used for the doors while wood was used in the sides, top, base and partitions. After building the skeleton of the...

Abstract Working adults and university students find it difficult to complete their laundry in a day because of the unpredictable weather conditions in the tropics of West Africa. There are existing drying machines, but these machines are either not smart or they are hard to install and maintain and they cause easy damage to the clothes. In... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT This project is focused on experimental analysis of impact of water jet on vanes. This work intends to predict the output of a pelton wheel, and to determine its optimum rotational speed. Hence this work explains how the deflection of the jet generates a force on the buckets, and how the force is related to the rate of momentum flow in... Continue Reading
CONSTRUCTION OF A PILOT MOTORISED MIXER A REPORT PRESENTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING OF THE INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY, ENUGU ABSTRACT A motorized mixer of 200 liters capacity was constructed to have the capability of mixing 200 liters of fluid during operation. The construction of the mixer involves the preliminary... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT A temperature control apparatus an “Armfield model was refurbished. The methodology employed were to detect the pulty parts of the equipment especially in the sump where leakages were observed. In the repair, the water in the sump was drained off, corrosion and rusting in the tank were... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT This study examined the effects of chemical pre-milling treatment on the physico-chemical as well as pasting properties of Mucuna sloanei ‘ukpo’ flour. The seeds were treated with Distilled water, Citric Acid, Sodium bicarbonate, and Sodium Chloride solutions at various levels of concentration (1% 2.50%, 5% 7.5%, 10% w/v) before... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT The objective of the repair and refurbishing the pilot plant temperature control equipment is to keep the apparatus in good working condition for it to be used for its various purposes. The part of the temperature control changed and new one installed. This was due to series of faults developed by the former one” Electrical accessories... Continue Reading
