ABSTRACT The seminar topic, “Extraction of oil from local seeds” is based on the study of palm oil and groundnut oil from palm fruits and groundnut seeds respectively, which are the local seeds. Oil is an organic substance which is an essential constituent of plants and animals. Extraction is a technique used for collecting oil from local... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The seeds of pawpaw and orange are generally discarded. However, in order to make a more efficient use of pawpaw and orange, it is worth investigating the use of the seeds as a source of oil. In this work oil was extracted from the seeds of both pawpaw and orange. The specific gravity, iodine value, acid value, peroxide value,... Continue Reading

Chapter One 1.0  INTRODUCTION The edible fruit of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) belongs to the family Cubitaceae . The fruit contains many obovate, smooth compressed seeds thickened at the margin and of a black or yellowish white colour. Watermelon plays a very important role in Africa as it is used to quench thirst when there is shortage of... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The consumptive use of water assures all year round production of groundnut prone to the vagaries of weather and climate. This brought about the need to supply moisture that is naturally available through rainfall. The successful design of any irrigation system requires the knowledge of the consumptive use of water by the crop under... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT African breadfruit seeds were subjected to three processing methods – parboiling, cooking and toasting, and the raw was used as control. The purpose of this research was to extract the oil from the seed and to determine the effect of processing on the oil physicchemical properties showed that the... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The research titled extraction and characterization of watermelon seed oil was carried to investigate the effect that different drying methods, solvents and seed size would have on the quality and quantity of oil from watermelon ( Citrilus lanatus ) seeds. The watermelon seeds were removed from the pod and washed. The sample was weighed... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT A vegetable oil is a triglyceride extracted from a plant. Such oils have been part of human culture for millennia. The term \'vegetable oil\' can be narrowly defined as referring only to substances that are liquid at room temperature, or broadly defined without regard to a substance\'s state of matter at a given temperature. For this... Continue Reading

Abstract This thesis aims to extract d-axis machine parameters of a 214 MVA high-speed turbogenerator using well-established offline techniques. MATLAB/SIMULINK tool has been utilized to model the generator and perform sudden short-circuit (SSC) tests. Because constant speed operation of the generator is vital consideration for the accuracy of SSC... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Shelling of groundnut pods (Arachis hypegea) by hand is tedious, laborious and unhygienic with low efficiencies. As a result farmer get low income due to amount of broken kernels and a lot of time is lost in the tedious shelling operation. To overcome this problem, pertinent parameters that influence shelling efficiency of pedal operated... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT Biomass, particularly agricultural residues seem to be one of the most promising energy resources for developing countries (Patomsok, 2008). Rural households and minority of urban dwellers depend solely on fuel woods (charcoal, firewood and sawdust) as their primary sources of energy for the past decades (Onuegbu, 2010). Of all the...
