Our Lab is almost ready !!!!cool. Looking foward to this. |
Interested! |
The University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN) on Tuesday set the record of electricity generation by using organic waste to install 100KVA Refuse Drived Fuel (RDF) gasification plant for its Nsukka Campus. Prof Benjamin Ozumba, UNN Vice-Chancellor, who expressed happiness over the project during its inauguration, said the university would no longer be a customer to Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC). He said the project was first of its kind in Nigeria and described it as another feather added to the cap of the institution. “I am happy that the university under my watch has witnessed innovations and transformation, as today another feather has been added to the cap of my administration. “This is the first of its kind in the country, using of waste to generate electricity. “By the time more of the plants are produced that will cover every part of the university, millions of naira will be saved every month, as UNN will longer pay monthly electricity bill to EEDC, ” he said. The VC also commended Prof Emenike Ejiogu-led research team that produced the RDF gas plant. In his remark, Ejiogu from the Department of Electrical Engineering applauded Ozumba on his belief of making record-breaking innovations to transform UNN. “The 100 KVA RDF project is designed and fabricated by laboratory of industrial power devices and energy system under the special grant by Ozumba. “The aim is to enable UNN to generate its own electricity with organic waste that will serve as fuel,” he said. The Japan-trained engineer said his research team was set to produce 250KVA plants, which will supply the energy need of the entire university and its environ. “UNN power demand now is 3mgwats, so with twelve 250KVA of RDF plants, we will meet electricity supply need of the university,” he said. He said on request, his research team was ready to install the RDF plants to any individual, company or office who needed it. “It is cheaper and can carry more loads than solar energy installation. “With RDF plant in your house or office, it will carry your air-condition, deep freezers, pressing iron and other things in your house, office or company,” he said. Ejiogu listed some of the organic waste that could be used as waste materials to power the plant to include: agricultural byproducts such as corn husks, wood chips among others. He said the plant would create employment for many people through supplying of waste to UNN or other people who would be using the plant,” he said. Some UNN staff in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) described the innovation as one of the greatest legacies of Ozumba. https://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2019/03/19/unn-sets-record-of-electricity-generation-with-organic-waste/

school: University of Nigeria, Nsukka course: Electronic engineering level: 100 |
Alexander animalu is one of the notable theoretical physicist in Nigeria, he attracted a national energy research center to unn, though no work seems to be going on there. it's too bad we are engrossed in politics in this continent. |

I'm so glad I found this thread on time(tho I'm a bit late), and I hope It doesn't go cold like several others. I'm an engineering physics undergraduate, tho I'm thinking of majoring in physics fully. my interest is quantum physics. I just downloaded the "electrical properties of materials" agent of Allah recommended... I really hope to discuss with others and broaden my knowledge. |

Here in Nigeria, engineering (of ANY discipline) is a complete waste of time and money... The course is needlessly rigorous for no bleeping reason, other than the "name" attached to it... Most of them, after graduation(they seldomly go for PG degrees) end up as MEDIOCRE technicians, or at most designers!! It is so annoying when this guys (eng'g students) compare themselves with guys in physical sciences faculty, MEN who do the REAL DEAL. Funny thing is that they(eng'g stds) are bleeping outdated in the courses they take. All they do is display arrogance on campus. |
Evening guys. Please where/how do one get the NDA form or do one apply online? |
taurus25:For now we may have to seperate this two worlds, despite the fact that they are in the same universe. It may be that the law governing the quantum world is "randomness" or "no law" . The real and the quantum worlds are like parallel lines that will never meet(reaching a consensus) but yet the later is the origin of the former. I'm i making sense? But in the macro world, there are forms of nature that seem to take part in the quantum party. Like the pattern/randomness in which plants/trees/flowers follow during their growth, shape/movement of an amoeba, and on a larger scale, the arrangements of stars(constellations)... Probably in years to come, mathematicians and physicists would work closely to decode the cosmos code, then we may begin to understand the quantum party. |

Yes, the universe can broadly be categorised in two scales i.e the quantum and macro/real world. I think it would be unfair to think that the universe is being ruled on a random setting. In space and our own surroundings, the laws of physics are real because we can see them and they are predictable... Nuclear fusion, thermodynamics... All of these and many more occur in outer space but in the crazy world of quantum mechanics or should i call it "the uncertainty world" the laws of physics are shatterd. From the movement to the acceleration of particles is real randomness. This are the limits of the laws of physics but looking deeper, the quantums are the biulding blocks of the macros. Everything we see are made up of particles/molecules and yet the macros are more organised than their constituents. So can random+random=pattern ?. If the cosmos were as uncertain as the quantums, would we exist? |
[quote author=Mbkite post=49148798][/quote]and who are you teaching secondary school physics to?? Mtcheeww |
Yes the govt. need to enforce the ban on ogogoro and pami, so as to prevent this kind of ridiculous post on NL. EE, which is among the core disciplines of engineering is V=IR ?? *seriously SMH*.. The reason for its high number of first class graduates(according to you) might be because, its mostly serious and focused students who dare to venture into that path. |
An applaudable develpment one must say, But awarding such huge contract to the chinese company is what's disturbing. The economy is in recession, it would have been best to sponsor an indigineous company for the job. |
