Item Application of Inverse method to Reconstruct the form of Pulse During Impulsive damage to Pipelines(International Engineering Conference (IEC), 2015) O. A. Olugboji; J. Hale; J. Y. Jiya; C. K. JackPetroleum pipelines damages if untimely detected, poses a tremendous challenge to the oil sector of an economy as it causes oil spillage, theft or explosion of the petroleum products while on transit. It is against this backlash an inverse pulse propagation method for reconstructing the form of pulse generated during pipeline defects was devised and presented in this paper. Inverse problem occurs in several branches of science and engineering. It involves the determination of the parameters of a model that describes or explains a set of observed data .This work deals with an inversion technique that was developed to reconstruct the form of a pulse after it has been propagated along a pipe. To test the suitability of the developed technique, a mathematical model was developed. The theoretical model was validated by experiment using a developed pipeline system. The experimental test rig comprises of a flexible hose pipe 23m long and 19mm diameter with four pressure sensors distributed along the pipeline and connected to the data acquisition system. Static and flowing air in the pipeline were use in the experimental test to validate the developed inverse technique model. The inverse method showed a close relationship to the original pulse.Item Gas Turbine Engine: Design, Application and Performance Analysis(Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2019 S.-I. Ao et al. (eds.), Transactions on Engineering Technologies,, 2019) A. Nasir; A. Mohammed; J. Y. JiyaGas Turbines (GT) are thermally rated air breathing engine which generates motive power from the combustion of fuel and expansion of gases. Gas turbines are employed in different spares of our daily lives, yet many people are unaware of the cutting-edge technologies used in the creation and operation of these engines. This article explains the principle involved with emphasis on the operation and performance analysis. The application of GT ranges from its use in power generation to aircraft propulsion, ship propulsion, gas compression in pipeline or tankers and others. GT is hugely affected by ambient conditions such as increase or decrease in ambient temperature. The operation of GT follows the Bryton cycle and detail is given in the paper. The effect of increase in ambient temperature on GT performance has been analyzed and discussed. As the ambient temperature increase, the mass flow reduces and therefore the performance of the GT drops.Item INVESTIGATION OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYPROPYLENE FILM AS VACUUM PACKAGING MATERIAL FOR DRIED FISH(ARID ZONE JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING, TECHNOLOGY & ENVIRONMENT (AZOJETE), 2023-09) I. A. Mohammed; O. Adedipe; J. Y. Jiya; A. B. Ayuba; K. T. Obanimomo; K. C. BalaThis study investigated the mechanical properties of three sets of polypropylene packaging films and existing dried fish packaging films and the quality of dried fish packaging in Nigeria... The polypropylene packaging films were produced in three batches A, B and C with thicknesses of 130μm, 150μm and 180μm respectively. The results showed that samples A, B and C had tensile strengths of 48N/mm2, 51.8N/mm2 and 61N/mm2 with Elongation at Break of 690.2%, 729.8% and 760% respectively. Also, the Dart Impact Strength of the samples were observed to be 191g/130μm, 208g/150μm and 231g/180μm respectively. Additionally, samples N and K (existing fish packaging films) had tensile strengths of 34.6N/mm2 and 31.2N/mm2 and Elongation at Break of 279.2% and 267.2% respectively. Furthermore, it was revealed that sample N exhibited better mechanical properties than sample K, while the produced polypropylene packaging films had the best mechanical properties among the samples tested. Using modern systems such as vacuum packaging and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) techniques, fish packaging and storage was improved. This research is important in light of the significant increase in aquaculture activities in Nigeria due to increased fish production and government intervention in developing the sector, since it offers good moisture barrier properties, transparency and sealability with good cost efficiency and recyclability. It helps to preserve and protect the product’s quality, flavor and shelf life while providing a visually appealing package for consumers.Item Event Reconstruction by Digital Filtering(Horizon Research Publishing. Advances in Signal Processing, 2013) O. A. Olugboji; J. Y. Jiya; J. M. HaleThis work deals with a digital filtering technique that was developed to reconstruct a pulse after it has propagated along a pipe; a complex pulse that is progressively distorted. The technique developed makes use of the theory of digital filtering used in communications to remove distortion in long telephone links.Item Design and Fabrication of Rice De-Stoning Machine(Food Science and Technology, 2014) O. A. Olugboji; J. Y. JiyaThis work aims at meeting the ever increasing demands of quality rice, avoiding losses and improving the income of local farmers. Mild steel was used in the construction of the machine. Standard equations were used to determine the dimension of the parts. The machine is driven by a 1Hp electric motor with 688.17 W required power. The machine has a capacity of 47.39 Kg/hr and an efficiency of 82.47 %Item Design, Fabrication and Testing Of a Motorized Paper Perforation Machine(International Journal of scientific research and management (IJSRM), 2015) J. Y. Jiya; M. S. Abolarin; O. A. Olugboji; R. I. Ngoffia; C. K. AjaniThis is concern with design and fabrication of a powered paper perforating machine with efficiency and less cost for bindery department in printing industries. It is a machine that will compete favorably with the manually operated ones and reduce human efforts with minimum time consumption. It perforates up to 15 sheets of paper at each stroke and is powered by a horse power electric motor whose rotational motion is converted to a reciprocating motion in the perforation pin by the principle of eccentricity.
