Cooker plays an integral role in oil and gas well pads. They generate the heat necessary for separating the oil, gas and water mixture and to keep the gases in their vapor phase during transportation through pipelines. Industrial cooker typically use a portion of the gas coming out of the ground as the fuel to produce the flame for heating. The gases extracted from the ground enter the burner skid (commonly referred to as burner fuel t […]

The operation and the development of power system networks introduce new types of stability problems. The effect of the power generation and consumption on the frequency of the power system can be described as a demand/generation imbalance resulting from a sudden increase/decrease in the demand and/or generation. This paper investigates the impact of a loss of generation on the transient behaviour of the power grid frequency. A simpli […]

Weather monitoring plays a very important role in human life hence study of weather system is necessary. Weather Forecast stations are used for the prediction of future weather conditions. These systems require intensive human efforts and are sometimes inaccurate in its prediction. Wireless weather monitoring stations are created to monitor weather virtually or remotely without the requirement of direct human efforts. The system is des […]
CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY A safety valve is a valve that acts as a fail-safe. An example of safety valve is a pressure relief valve (PRV), which automatically releases a substance from a boiler, pressure vessel, or other system, when the pressure or temperature exceeds preset limits. Pilot-operated relief valves are a specialized type of pressure […]
ABSTRACT The Centre of Pressure Apparatus has been designed to determine the static thrust exerted by a fluid on a submerged surface and allow comparison of the measured magnitude and position of this force with simple theory. A fabricated quadrant is mounted on a balance arm, which pivots on knife-edges. The knife-edges coincide with the centre of arc of the quadrant. Thus, of the hydrostatic forces acting on the quadrant when immers […]

ABSTRACT This study was designed to establish the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure (BP) among Cadets of Nigeria Police Academy due to the rising prevalence of hypertension in the country. Factors associated with BMI and BP levels were determined in one hundred adult male and female subjects among Cadets of Nigeria Police Academy. The levels of the overweight among the male and female subjects were 53.03% a […]
