Energy harnessing solution using a vertical axis wind turbine installed on the automotive rooftop.
Abstract: The transportation sector plays a major role in greenhouse gas emissions, prompting worldwide initiatives to mitigate its environmental effects. While the shift from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles is growing, it often merely shifts emissions rather than eliminating them, as fossil fuels continue to dominate energy production. A comprehensive solution requires universal access to renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydro power, which is currently impractical due to …

Water/Oil Cresting Optimization in Horizontal Wells: Experimental Study
Abstract: In recent years, the application of horizontal wells has been predominant and successful in minimizing cresting scenarios due to significant reservoir exposure of its laterals. Cresting is a natural phenomenon known to occur when an imbalance of viscous and gravitational forces exists in a reservoir. This study experimentally investigates the effect of varying the inclined section of the horizontal well using a simple, practical and inexpensive cresting optimization technique. The …

Study of Effectiveness of Cone Cruciform Vortex Breaker Device in Reducing the Swirl Angle by Modifying the Number of Vanes Using CFD Technique
Abstract: AbstractMany of the large-scale vertical pumps installed in various pumping stations have experienced some sort of vibration, impeller damage due to local cavitation, excessive bearing wear, or loss of pumping efficiency, combinations of which are considered to be caused primarily by undesirable pump approach flow conditions such as vortices, swirl in intake structure, and inappropriate geometrical layout surrounding the bellmouth. Conventional fixes to resolve these problems include vortex breaker devices …

The Application of Python Programming Language in the Automation of a Mathematical Model for Well Trajectory Selection Optimisation for a Given Field
Abstract: Directional drilling plays a major role in the exploration and recovery of hydrocarbons. There are three basic trajectories that a well may follow. They include; Build-and-Hold, Build-Hold-andDrop and Continuous-Build Trajectories. The selection of a trajectory is usually based on experience/trial and error approach and may be associated with errors. This work has therefore developed a mathematical model that optimised the automatic selection of a well trajectory type for a given …

Influence of Cutting Angle on the Performance of an Orange Peeling Machine
Abstract: Growing demand for oranges for domestic and industrial uses requires a device that would peel the oranges at minimum cost, stress and time. Reduction in cost and stress can be meaningful only if the peeling time is minimised. Orange peeling machine was developed by taking into consideration effective choice of peeling tool component to enhance savings in peeling time. Tool holding system was made flexible to accommodate variation in set …

Review of Radial Drilling Technology and Viable Prospect in Mature Field Development in the Niger Delta
Abstract: A review of some Niger Delta oil field reservoirs indicates that most of the reservoirs are at the mature stages, thereby vulnerable to challenges such as; coning due to reduced size of the oil column, low oil production and lack of access to the residual oil trapped between existing wells of the mature field. Due to coning occurrences in the Niger-Delta oil field, most wells have been shut-in and a …

Design and Implementation of PID Controller for Self Balancing Robot
Abstract: AbstractFor control engineers to study, apply and verify different control methods, inverted pendulum is a very good platform. Nearly 90% of the industries use the concept of inverted pendulum like ship balancing against of sea tide and control of rockets, space ships and landing of aero planes. The simple pendulum is stable while hanging downwards, but the inverted pendulum is a genetically unstable system. To make the inverted pendulum a …

Emissivity and Dielectric Behavior of Red Soils of Dhule District at X-band Microwave Frequencies
Abstract: Using X-band (8.2 and 10.5GHz) experimentation, the fluctuation of the dielectric constant (ε’) and dielectric loss (ε’’) of soil samples with different moisture contents has been determined. After reaching a transition point, the value of (ε') grows gradually with moisture content before increasing quickly after that. The emissivity has been estimated from experimentally determined (ε’) using emissivity model for vertical polarization. The findings indicate that as MC/dielectric constant increases, emissivity …
