Abstract Aquatic search and rescue in Ghana and most parts of the world poses lots of disadvantages to the rescuers. Divers being tasked for each search and rescue mission risk their lives trying to locate a body or an object underwater. Sometimes, these divers are attacked by aquatic animals or even hit by submersible objects. This approach is also problematic since divers are not able to stay longer under water due to fixed oxygen tanks. This limits their search periods as they ought to res...
Abstract Industrial accidents are on the rise. This fact is even more prevalent in developing countries where the countries lack the safety standards required to ensure workplace safety in the pursuit of economic development. As land in prime locations becomes increasingly scarce, there is an argument for building skyscrapers. But this just creates a new workforce that are subject to the horrific dangers of cleaning glass panels at heights well above the ground. In this applied project, I des...
Abstract The increasing demand for electricity in Ghana has led to concerns about energy conservation, to reduce the rising energy costs as well as the carbon emissions produced from energy generation. Popular energy conservation methods used in Ghana include turning off devices when not in use and using Light Emitting Diode (LED) lamps in place of incandescent bulbs which consume more power. However, these methods do not have very significant results and are not very efficient. Additionally,...
Abstract In Ghana and other parts of Africa, most traffic management systems are implemented by the use of a timer at each phase. This method of traffic management is inefficient because equal length of green light is assigned to each lane at the intersection; resulting in long wait times for vehicles behind a traffic light with the red signal on, especially when other lanes are vacant. This project addresses problems such as the one stated in the previous sentence through designs and impleme...
Abstract The objectives a welding flux is expected to achieve are many and often mutually incompatible.
ABSTRACT Determining the filtration properties of a mud system requires that experiments be run for both the standard API and the high temperature pressure tests at intervals throughout the duration of drilling an oil well.
ABSTRACT The effect of climate change in recent times has necessitated the need for a controlled environment for the cultivation of many crops which where hitherto cultivated under natural tropical conditions.
ABSTRACT Both Engineering students and praticising engineers are involved in the design and analysis associated with fluid mechanics and thermodynamic problems.
ABSTRACT The plastic extruder system is an important process in the solid waste recycling system.
ABSTRACT Grinding is one of the most Important finishing operations and it is very useful in our automobile industries.
ABSTRACT Reliability indices are considered to be reasonable and logic way to judge the performance of an electric power system.
ABSTRACT The development of a framework for the local production of low-cost injection moulds, using inputs and technical skills available within a typical Nigerian city is the focus of this study.
ABSTRACT Abundant and economical energy is the life blood of modern civilization.
ABSTRACT A biobjective model is proposed for production planning in a multi stage, multi facility production system.
Abstract This paper presents experimental and simulation study of the effects of stress on microstructure and failure morphology of low carbon steel under plane stress conditions. The study has revealed large extension of grains at the point of fracture and, stress and strain looped around the pearlitic faces of the microstructure matrix. The stress and strain distributions in the microstructure have shown that concentration of stress and strain on the pearlite were instrumental to oblique f...
