Öğe Box-Behnken Design Optimization of Sand Casting Process Parameters(İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Yayınları / Istanbul Gelisim University Press, 2020) Aliemeke, Blessing Ngozi Goodluck; Oladeinde, M.Sand casting is reputed for the manufacture of engine components as a result of its ease of operation. An assemblage of process parameters at optimal conditions leads to enhanced mechanical properties of automobile engine components. The Response Surface Methodology Design of experiment created an experimental layout for the sand casting process parameters and the various levels as applied in the production of engine pistons at the foundry. The Box-Behnken Design provided a matrix of 27 experiments to be conducted. Multiple linear Regression technique was employed to develop a mathematical model for the hardness of the aluminium alloy. The developed model was inputted into the evolutionary Genetic Algorithm tool box as an objective model. The optimal levels determined from the Genetic algorithm were used to carry out actual experiment in the foundry and the result was similar to the predicted hardness value of the developed model. Statistical ANOVA test conducted showed that the mathematical model was adequate with a R2 value of 81.02% and R2 (adjusted) value of 60.07%. The developed model has a p-value of 0.016 which indicates that the model was significant. The optimal values obtained for pouring temperature, vibration frequency, vibration time and runner size are 700oC, 31.52Hz, 59.998sec and 469.69mm2 respectively.Öğe Development of a Cassava Grating Machine(İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Yayınları / Istanbul Gelisim University Press, 2024) Aliemeke, Blessing Ngozi Goodluck; Iyore, Tommy AisosaDeveloping of a cassava grating machine is presented. This is a great boost in the development of local content and reduction of wastage in cassava produce in Africa. The use of internal combustion engine in powering the cassava grating machine makes the study unique as it goes a long way in eliminating the undue stress involved manual grating of cassava tubers. The developed machine is made up of components such as hopper, pulley belts, grating unit, internal combustion engine and shaft. Scientific formulae were employed to aid the design of the cassava grating machine. A detailed graphical modeling was done to serve as a guide for the fabrication of the machine. The developed grating machine had a volumetric capacity of hopper to be 50272000 mm3 . A power capacity of 1.715 KW was delivered to the solid shaft of 27.05 mm diameter to grate the peeled cassava tubers at a designed torque of 10.23 Nm.
