CHAPTER ONE

1.1              INTRODUCTION

The construction of a two-face gas burner as a project topic that we embark upon become necessary as a way of way of putting into application the engineering and technological knowledge acquired so far. It is a starting point of actualizing a functional technology in the country. Irrespective of the fact that there are several breads of gas burners in the market, especially the ones imported, we deemed it necessary to work further on it as a way of modifying the brand with cast not left out in such modification.  

1.2       LITERATURE REVIEW

            The development of simple gas burner started in the eighteen countries when people began to use coal gas for burning. The application was fast put into practice by William Mulock who designed the simple gas cooker to be used in his office, home and workplace

            The first experimental gas cooker was made and in use in 1850. The improvement of this has multiplied greatly and is up to date widely used in homes, restaurants and large catering establishments. The different types of gas cookers available in the in the market are based on skills and techniques of the designer or producer.

            Based on the nature of energy supply, some gas cookers are made up of combustion devices of an electric heating element. The well-constructed ones are properly adapted and form an integral combustion of which of which they generate and utilize heat. It is often quite different to draw a line where heat generation stops and where heat utilization starts in a fuel forced cooker. That is the fuel fired cooker being on the pack in the market these days.

            The releasing of heart starts with mixture of air and fuel gas in the nozzle and combustion of the mixture to release heart takes place at the burner.

1.3       SPECIFICATION OF PROBLEM

            In the course of fabricating the two-face gas burner, as a copied project with some propose modification, some condition which ought to be met are found as a standard of comparison with the already existing ones. This posed a difficulty in the course of this construction. Since choice between already existing gas cooker lies on service available, durability, connivance cost.

            The following specifications were considered a problem when we started the design.

1.      PORTABILITY.

How to fabricate a two-face gas burner that will occupy the minimum space in the kitchen was a problem. A two-face gas burner that is easily to be met in met in our design.

2.                  To construct a two-face gas burner that will be safe to any prospective user.

3.                  To constructs a two-face gas burner that will be easy to maintain and wise gas will be free from unpleasant smell.

4.                  To construct a two-face gas burner whose source of energy (fuel) will be local.

1.4              COMPONENT PARTS AND THEIR FUNCTIONS

1.                  Burner chamber

2.                  Linkage pipe

3.                  Hose

4.                  Gas Cylinder (containing gas valve)

5.                  Angle bar (material)

6.                  Control knob or valve

7.                  Connection pipe for gas flow

8.                  Nut

9.                  Rod.

THE BURNER: This being the main component where combustion takes place to release heat. There is gas delivery line, which leads to it in addition to an adjustment to control the rate of atmospheric air mixing with the natural gas

 

LINKAGE PILE:     This is the pipe line through which natural gas flow to the burner. One is lined along the frame of the burner as seen. 

 
 
 

 

 

THE GAS CYLINDER:      This is the component of the gas burner that containing the gas fuel through which a hose as connected to the copper pipe of the burner through the gas passes to the burner for combustion.

 

THE ANGLE BAR: This was used in constructing the frame of the gas burner.

HOSE:            This serves as a link between the copper tubing and the control value of the burner.

 

CONTROL KNOB OR VALVE:   It is a essential component of the gas burner and it is used to regulate the volume or amount of natural gas flowing to the burner.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
 

 

MILD STELL PLATE        this is used as a covering or a wall for the gas burner. It also serves as a seat for the values.

IMPACT OF CONTINUOS ASSESSMENT ON THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT OF JUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE IN MAKURDI METROPOLIS

This study obtained basic information from computer science teachers on the impact of continuous assessment on the academic achievement of computer science students. The attitude of computer science teachers and students towards continuous assessment, the level of availability of facilities for the successful implementation of continuous assessment as well as the qualification of teachers administering continuous assessment in some selected Junior Secondary Schools in Makurdi metropolis were investigated. It employed a descriptive survey design. Twelve respondents comprising only computer science teachers from ten Junior Secondary Schools in Makurdi metropolis were sampled and used as subjects in the study. A twenty- item questionnaire was developed and used to collect data which were analyzed using percentages. Findings showed that computer science teachers employed a variety of continuous assessment techniques in assessing students such as test and examination method, oral interview and contributions to class discussion. Most of the schools sampled had only one computer science teacher, and some schools did not have single computer science teacher, majority of the teachers were NCE holders, only a few had B.SC/B.Ed, HND, ND, some computer science teachers and students had negative attitude towards continuous assessment and facilities for the successful implementation of continuous assessment were adequate in some schools and completely not available in some schools. It was discovered that the practice of continuous assessment in our schools has a considerable impact on the academic achievement of computer science students. Respondents suggested that continuous assessment could raise the standards of students’ academic achievement, enable the teacher to adopt instructional methods that would carter for individual differences and learning abilities of students, allow teachers to monitor the impact of their lessons on students’ understanding. Consequently, continuous assessment if well implemented is capable of reducing examination malpractices, engendering quality study habits in the students, improving educational and learning outcomes attainment among others. It is thus, recommended that government at all levels should provide sufficient facilities necessary for the implementation of continuous assessment. Teachers should be allowed to go for further training, and more computer science teachers should be employed. Teachers should employ a variety of continuous assessment techniques to assess students because it considers all the three domains of learning including cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains. To check the negative attitudes of teachers and students towards continuous assessment, conferences, workshops or seminars should be organized to enlighten both students and teachers on the impacts of continuous assessment in the education system.
