The chemical and mechanical properties of recycled mild steel from scraps in Nigeria was investigated using the mechanical (strength of materials) testing approach, chemical (elemental composition) testing approach and metallurgical (microstructural analysis) testing approach m...
8. Knowledge Management practices in construction organisation
Statement of the Problem
There is the need for the construction organisation to reflect and take decision on timely basis as the construction industry is becoming collaborative, complicated and dynamic. Yusof et al. (2012) stressed that there is fast growing information in construction...
9. PRODUCTION AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF BIODIESELS FROM SOME SEED OILS AND THEIR BLENDS WITH DIESEL
ABSTRACT
Two types of biodiesels (methyl esters and butyl esters) were synthesized from Cucurbita pepo, Afzelia africana and Hura crepitans seed oils using acid catalysis. Solid acid catalysts were prepared from biowastes (seed cake/shell) from the oil seeds via partial carbonization to...
