Cassava dewatering is an important aspect in cassava processing due to its significance to influence drying time and energy use. In this study, cassava dewatering process parameters were optimized using D- optimal response ...

Soils tend to shrink when they lose moisture, in particular lateritic soils are susceptible to shrinkage and often results in volumetric change. This is always the case in engineering structures (like embarkment dam) as a ...

River Benue has continued to be a major water source in Makurdi for household and industrial activities, as well as the dredging of sediments for various purposes. The need for continuous monitoring of both the water ...

Beetroot is a rich source of protein, antioxidant and minerals which are vital in human nutrition but highly susceptible to spoilage due to high moisture content. An understanding of its drying kinetics will promote value ...

Agriculture still remains a major support of the Nigerian economy and the role of agriculture still remains significant in the Nigerian economy despite the strategic importance of the oil sector. The vast majority of ...

Declining rice productivity in recent times have been responsible for rising food insecurity and most extreme forms of famine. In the light of this, some climatic variables were modelled as it affects rice yield in Ibadan, ...

The continuously intensifying human population growth has led to the demand for clean water to be steeply increased while the gap between water demand and supply is getting wider. Therefore, this study involved the fabrication ...

Energy consumption and global carbon have increased worldwide, reinvigorating worries about potential depletion of fossil fuel and scarcity of petroleum reserves. Such increase, accompanied by increment of geopolitical ...

Evaluating and measuring the performance parameters of wheels and tillage equipment under controlled conditions obligates the use of soil bin facility, which is why it is important to equip this facility with instrumentation ...
