Incorporating blends of some waste materials in soil improvement efforts could alleviate the problems of excessive soil compressibility. This paper presents the results of compressibility parameters of two expansive soils (peat and marine clays) stabilized with a blend of lime and marble dust in various percentages. One dimensional consolidation test was conducted to determine the…

Developing a hybrid microgrid system will support efforts at providing sustainable electricity to rural communities without access to electricity from the national electricity grid in Nigeria. This study considered the design and analysis of a hybrid microgrid system for Okorogba community in Nembe, a coastal settlement in suburbia of Bayelsa State, Niger Delta region of…

By concentrating sensitive information in one location, traditional centralized data processing increases the vulnerabilities of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) to data interception, tampering, unauthorized access, and privacy issues when transmitting sensitive data. Implementing a decentralized machine learning approach would benefit efforts at mitigating these vulnerabilities. In this study, the federated learning approach—a decentralized machine learning…

Traffic issues including delays and congestion, particularly at intersections, are because of the massive rise in private vehicles along Port Harcourt roadways. Any highway traffic crossroad presents a complex negotiation. This occurs when vehicles traveling in several directions try to use the same space simultaneously. The surge in the use of private cars has made…

Calibrating three-hole probes before using them to obtain measurement data from turbomachines has become imperative. Calibration of the three-hole probe prior to its use in any turbomachinery measurement is crucial due to manufacturing inaccuracies during production. This study presents the calibration of a three hole probe used to measure the performance of a suction wind…

The maritime industry, a critical global trade facilitator, necessitates the movement of goods and passengers across the world’s oceans. Ships, the backbone of this industry, encounter diverse environmental conditions, from calm waters to tumultuous seas. Among these challenges, irregular sea conditions have gained increasing attention among naval architects, marine engineers, and safety regulators. The extremes…

In this work, the physico-chemical properties of Khana crude oil contaminated soils, are experimentally determined with respect to ASTM standard, as well the crude oil contaminated soils are remediated using Bacillus substilis and Aspergillus Niger. The kinetic parameters of the soils are as well ascertained using a well-developed biochemical model; estimating the concentration of the…

Breakdown of Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading systems (FPSOs) due to corrosion has been a major cause of downtime in FPSO operating in various regions. A major cause of corrosion in the FPSO is the radiation from jet flame of gas flare stack installed on FPSO. Although gas flaring on the FPSO is very resourceful…

An exergy and non-linear gas path analysis was carried out on a 180 MW gas turbine power plant in Afam, Rivers State, Nigeria. The plant major components were separated into control volumes of exergy inflows and outflows, then analyzing each flow using the first and second laws of thermodynamics. For non-linear gas path analysis, the…
