Twenty years (2000-2020) data of daily global solar radiation and monthly average hours of bright sunshine are sourced from National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NIMET), respectively. The zone consists of six states. Total average global solar radiation on a horizontal surface of 69.05 kWhrm-2day-1 is estimated for the zone. Monthly average clearness index ranges from 0.42– 0.69. This depicts that cloudy sky condition is prevalent in north-east of Nigeria. Monthly bright sunshine hours of the geo-political zone are estimate at 94.16 hrs. Five (5) seasonal classification periods are recorded in Bauchi, Damaturu and Yola. In Gombe and Maidugri, six seasonal classification periods were observed. While in Jalingo, seven seasonal periods were identified. The coefficient of determination estimated for the Angstrom-Page equation for the study locations were high. Thus, the regression coefficient determined for the cities and the zone can be used to determine monthly global solar radiation for locations with similar meteorological characteristics....Preview Download Preview +Other Mechanical Engineering project topics and materials you might be interested in»A project report on the design and construction of adjustable drawing table and stool»Design, construction and testing of beans threshing machine»Design and fabrication of groundnut shelling machine»Design and construction of adjustable drawing table and stool»The design and assembling of a tricycle engine (Paggio)»Design and construction of a pneumatic water pumping machine»Design and fabrication of electrical motorized bicycle wheelchair»Design of an indirect evaporative cooling system for preserving perishable farm produce»Modern washing machine, principles of operation and maintenance»Fabrication and construction of window burglar proof»Design and fabrication of domestic deep freezer»Design and construction of journal bearing demonstration rig»Construction and fabrication of charcoal oven»Fabrication of a pepper grinding machine»Fabrication of an industrial trolley
