The research showed the statistical analysis of clad bead width on mild steel metal geometry. The statistical analysis was performed using response surface method of statistics. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) shows that the Model F-value of 8.95 which implies that the model is...
The uses of cast aluminum alloys in automotive and aerospace applications are growing rapidly because of the need to reduce weight and improve the efficiency of the engine as whole. The service life of aluminum cast component is determined by the size, form and distribution of mi...
Poly(3-octylthiophene-2,5-diyl) denoted as P3OT with a chemical formula (C12H18S)n is an alkylthiophene based conductive polymer with high electroluminescence that is soluble in most of the organic solvents. P3OT is a promising material for applications in solar cells, light-emi...
Perylene (C20 H12) is polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) used in the production of organic field- effect transistors, organic photovoltaic cells, and biosensors. In this work, the molecular geometry, HOMO-LUMO energy gap, global indices, thermodynamic properties, non-linear...
This study investigated the great potential of cocoyam peels (non-edible waste material) as suitable substrate for bio-ethanol production using enzymatic hydrolysis process. The raw material was subjected to pretreatment prior to the hydrolysis and fermentation processes. Several...
Duplex stainless steel are designed to provide better corrosion resistance, particularly chloride stress corrosion and chloride pitting corrosion, and higher strength than standard austenitic stainless steels. In Spray Forming processing, the gas atomizes a liquid metal stream an...
Sudden outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) in December 2019 has brought global and domestic disturbances in the commodity market systems and processes. This has mostly affected the demand as well as the supply of the extractive sector commodities. The oil and gas marke...
The local availability of biowaste, which can be used as possible source of fibers, is an important trigger for research into new lignocellulosic materials for potential introduction into biocomposites: to evaluate this possibility, characterization is needed. In this work, soapb...
The corrosion of HVOF metallic coatings is a complex electrochemical process where numerous physical and electrochemical processes occurred at the surface. Researchers have adopted different approaches to study these processes. A significant cache of research material is availabl...
The present level of exploitation of Manganesemineral from its ore is very low due to depletion of its ore; therefore, there is need for appropriate processing technique that will help in providing solution to the exploitation problem encountered. Chemical, Petrological, Mineralo...
This article is aimed at carrying out comparative analysis of prepared erasable ink from locally sourced carboneous wastes (lampblack, tyre and coconut shell soot). Different formulation and modification were adapted in this research with effect to three different pigments for th...
Phytochemical analysis was carried out on the leaves and stem extracts of Commelinabenghalensis L and Acanthospermumhispidum DC plants to determine their corrosion inhibition potentials. The leaves and stem parts were processed by washing, air-drying under shade and then ground i...
Chlorella vulgaris was isolated from the African Regional Aquacultural Centre Aluu, Rivers State. The culture was grown and was analysed for oil contents using three different extraction methods and was also analysed for pigments and the algae oil was characterized. Pigment analy...
The performance of concrete samples mixed with different water sources, namely: tap water, river, borehole and hand-dug well from small scale mining catchment areas (known as “galamsey” in Ghana) was assessed. Concrete in the “galamsey” areas are being produced with these water s...
This research work reports the optimization and modeling of injection moulding parameters in the production of plantain fibre particles reinforced high density polyethylene (PFRHDPE) for impact responses evaluation. Composite materials have some limitations, and one of the most s...
