Abstract

The manufacturing industry of Ghana, as promising as it is, has many shaping to be done. This specifically goes to the automobile manufacturers and engine rebuilders of Ghana. Though agile and very skillful in rebuilding engines many have reported grievances on their service renders to them. This shows that, the knowledge and zeal to rebuild it puts the industry at a certain level but needs further additional and requisite tuning to reach the pinnacle. For this reason, the researcher therefore sought to investigate how cylinder bores and piston ring end-gap contribute to the failure of locally rebuilt engines. A descriptive design was used for the study and sample of 60 participants responded to the structured questionnaire. The study used primary data to provide reliable and up-to-date information the researcher needs for the analysis. The data were entered in SPSS with analysis performed using inferential and descriptive analysis methods. The findings of the study revealed that errors made in the work procedure had a stronger effect on the clients’ than its other counterpart. Practically, the flaws in the work procedure of rebuilding cylinder bore significantly affects clients’ satisfaction.

Abstract

Wind energy, as a sustainable energy option is gaining research attention due to its price competitiveness relative to conventional energy sources. This study presents the fabrication and testing of a low-cost wind turbine blade using bamboo fibre with recycled plastic. Bamboo fibre was extracted from raw bamboo and combined with adequately conditioned Recycled High-Density Polyethylene (RHDPE) to form a composite which is 25% bamboo fibre and 75% RHDPE. The composite materials was then used to fabricate a turbine blade which was tested and the results compared with typical performance indices for a turbine blade made of fibre glass for comparative analysis. The turbine blades were installed at a height of 10 meters at the test site and monitored. Results showed the energy per unit cost (kWh) for the composite material was lower than that of the glass fibre with a life cycle of 107 for glass fibre and 106 cycles for the bamboo plastic. Stress and deformation analysis showed a higher value for glass fiber compared with the composite material. It can be deduced that composite material matrix possesses the desired properties and energy per unit cost ratio for consideration in building wind turbine blades.
