This research work was carried to examine the rate of production of biogas through anaerobic digestion of fresh Cow rumen obtained from slaughter house in Woji, Trans-Amadi, Port Harcourt. The Kinetics of the biogas produced upon the influence of biodegradation was studied using kinetic model linear, power, growth rate decay, non-elementary rate models to establish the model that best predicts the amount of biogas obtained from the experimental obtained parameters. The total solid, volatile solid, ash content and pH was evaluated upon the influence of the biomass. Also, the temperature and pressure build-up during the anaerobic digestion process were recorded weekly. The results of the analysis showed that is, volatile solid, ash content were 0.924g/g, 0.734g/g and 0.1414g/g, while the PH value before and after the analysis were 7.45 and 7.26 as well as fluctuation in temperature between 300C and 34.50C was observed.

Transportation of fluids in the industry especially in the oil and gas sector is a common phenomenon. Thus, analyzing the flow characteristics in elbow ducts is essential for a number of engineering applications
The increasing high price and demand for energy source drive our effort to convert solid waste into useful fuel. An eco friendly energy is retrieved from waste plastic materials through automated waste management system and it is tested successfully with the help of arduino board
The ever increasing demands for higher thermal efficiency from power plants have resulted to wide range of research in this regard. This work is one of such researches that deal with the performance optimization of a Combined Gas and Steam Turbines (COGAS) plant using Artificial Neural Network (ANN)
Experimental and theoretical approach was used in the formulation of adsorbent, made from clay and sawdust for the adsorption of kerosene in water medium environment. Three formulations of clay and sawdust with the code ratio of R9:1, R17:3 and R4:1 and with control clay sample, were investigated to obtain the suitable mixing ratio that will give optimum percentage removal of kerosene in water medium.
A three-fold design and fabrication of insulation testing rig (ITR) has been demonstrated in this research work via geometric (or architectural) design, stress design and thermal design.
