Design and fabrication of a motorized wood loader into a wood based boiler.

Abstract

This report contains three chapters namely; introduction, literature review and methodology. Chapter one covers the background of boilers in the world and Uganda in particular, the problem statement, the objectives of the project, the reasons as to why the project should be carried on, giving its purpose and finally the scope of the project. Chapter two talks about the boiler profile, operation of boilers, types of boilers, an overview on the already existing wood loading methods and a reflection on the proposed design. Chapter three includes the engineering methods that will be used in designing the various machine components of the wood loading machine, how the different machine components will be fabricated and assembled as a way of achieving the specific objectives.
