Arduino Microcontroller-based Gas Leakage Detection and Accident Prevention Alerting System
Abstract: This paper aims to propose and discuss a design of a gas leakage detection system that can automatically sense, an alert signal generated and control gas leakage by a user. This proposed system also includes an alerting by buzzer sound and the users control gas leakage. The system is based on a sensor that easily senses a gas leakage. The liquid petroleum gas (LPG) leak detector model is a compact …

Nanocatalyst for Transesterification of Fatty Acids into Biodiesel
Abstract: Global fuel consumption is increasing exponentially due to the ever increase in rate of industrial development. The continued usage of fossil fuels leads to severe environmental concerns and poses threat to the entire mankind. Biodiesel has gained more attention due to the rapid exhaustion of the fossil fuels and increase in price of conventional petroleum products. Transesterification of fatty acids from animal fat, vegetable oils, waste cooking oil, algae and …

Kinetic Modeling and Thermodynamic Study of the Simultaneous Adsorption of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) Onto Organomontmorillonite in Aqueous Medium
Abstract: Water is a vital source of human life, but it has frequently been polluted by mono and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, usually from petrochemicals in petroleum industrial effluents as well as other anthropogenic activities. This study investigate the potential of montmorillonite intercalated HDTMAand TMPA cations for effective removal of five (5) different polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) namely: naphthalene, anthracene, chrysene,benzo(a)pyrene and benzo(g,h,i) perylene in aqueous medium. To research PAH adsorption behaviour …

Combine Effect of Dry and Decomposed Raffia Palm in the Bioremediation of Oil-based Drill Cutting
Abstract: This study determines the effect of dry substrate and decomposed raffia palm for degradation of oil- based drill cuttings bioremediation. The remediation process was effectuated using dry and decomposed raffia palm. The experiment was carried out at the research Centre located at Agricultural and Environmental Engineering departmental workshop in Rivers State University, Port Harcourt. Samples of oil-based drill cuttings were bulked in eleven reactors with four replications (T1, T2, T3-T11). …

Performance Analysis Of A Bio Diesel Fuelled Diesel Engine With The Effect Of Titanium Oxide (TiO2) Coated Piston
Abstract: Biodiesel is one of the best alternative fuel to diesel engine among other sources due to having potential to reduce emissions. Biodiesel is a renewable, biodegradable and environment friendly fuel in nature. The advantages of biodiesel are lower exhaust gas emissions and its biodegradability and renewability compared with petroleum based diesel fuel. The energy of the biodiesel can be released more efficiently with the concept of semi adiabatic (thermal barrier …
