ABSTRACT
This
project is designed to make the students utilize as many theoretical
and practical concept as have been instructed in alstron to mechanical
engineering workshop technology. Students are expected to learn
and apply concepts, principles about energy specially the conversions
of electrical energy to thermal energy, conduction and conventional
heat transfer etc.
Also the
determination of the properties of various ferrous and non-ferrous
materials, electrical installation occults. The application of
engineering measurement and quality control.
Also to build an intellectual ability in interpretation of working
drawing in designing and development before and after working process.
Students will get an opportunity to appreciate safety, and the use of
both machine and hand tools in the course of working.

CHAPTER ONE
BACKGROUND
1.1.0 OBJECTIVES
This project is undertaken to
(1) Compare the various ways used in the production of an electric and gas oven.
(2) Disclose
the different types of process in the manufacturing of an electric oven
and also a gas oven in the past in comparison to the morden days
method.
(3) Exploit the local facilities available in the construction of the oven as against imported ovens.
(4) To exhibit the usefulness of a dual-purpose oven in the economy and technology growth of the nation.
(5) To know the convenience in the use of alternate power source for operation of ovens.
(6) Discover the basic principle involved in the design and maintenance of a dual purpose oven.
1.2.0 IMPORTANCE OF OVENS
In
actual analytical enunciation an oven is an enclosed chamber in which
things are heated or cooked with various sources of power.
Its importance borders around its function, which are as follows;
(i) It
is used to meet the everyday basic need of cooking, (baking, toasting,
gritting, toasting) of food materials for human consumption.
(ii) Ovens are used for heat treatment of substance in laboratories and industries.
(iii) Also as a means of preservation by heat application to perishable materials (organic and inorganic) in general.
(iv) Sterilization of instruments and equipment for industrial use is done by heat application using oven.
(v) Expelling of moisture content to a required measure in some substance is also done using oven.
(vi) Early manufactured ovens where used as a source of room heaters during cold weathers in cold climates.
Other
importance boarding around its energy source is that the use an
alternative source of energy when either fossil fuel or electricity is
not available. This can be relatively save cost when necessitated.
