THIS WORK IS DEDICATED TO

LATE MR ALPHONUSU UMEH

AND

MRS RECHEAL UMEH

In the course of writing this project I have come to remain indebted to these special

people who have helped in one way or the other to the reality of his project.

First, our unalloyed gratitude goes to ALIMIGHTY GOD, who in the source of all

inspiration, nothing can be achieve without him.

Special and immense thanks to my supervisor-MR ANEKE.C. who has carefully and

diligently supervised this work at each stage of its development.

My thanks also go to my be love parents MRS. Rachael Umeh and Late MR

Alphonsus Umeh may his soul rest in perfect peace Amen. Mention must be made of

my elder brother Dr Okechukwu Umeh for their encouragement and financial

support.

I would also like to express our sincere gratitude to the lecturers in the computer

science department, many students and friends who were ever ready to help out may

ALMIGHT GOD reward and bless you all.

This project work is organized into two phases. The front pages and the main write

up.

The front pages which consists of the title page, certification, dedication,

acknowledgement, organization of work, abstract and table of contents.

The second phase, which is the work, is made up of seven chapters.

The first chapter is the introduction, which consist of the statement of problem, aims

and objectives, purpose of study, limitation and definition of term.

Chapter two is the literature review chapter three is systems investigation and

analysis. Chapter four is the design of the new system. Chapter five is

implementation. Chapter six is documentation while chapter seven contained the

conclusion and recommendation. And finally is bibliography

Temperature determines the survival of all natural creatures and as well the

operational fitness of all scientific invention, it is quite important to every aspect of

human endeavor and its control is as important as the temperature itself.

This research work centers its study on temperature and its control with a view of

designing and implementing a reliable computerized system that will automatically

contribute in temperature control.

The new system will be able to automatically detect temperature within a particular

environment at a particular time and be able to give the desired output concerning the

aim of its development. The new system pivots its temperature on room temperature,

controlling the regulation of the room air conditioning system for good up- keep of

the habitants. The new system can as well be used in other areas of temperature

control by adjusting the target point of the design.

 CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Every living and non-living things thrived on a particular temperature within a

particular environment at a particular time. Temperature is a concept that cannot

easily be shelved for its importance to man and the thing in its surrounding. The

room temperature is convenient for man’s survival, the water temperature is

convenient for the survival of fishes and other sea animals, the incubator temperature

is convenient for hatching of chick from eggs. This is the same for every other living

thing on the face of the earth. The same is also applicable to non-living thing on

earth, chemicals, iron etc of different kinds thrives under different temperature.

Due to these facts, there is need for adequate control of temperature in areas where

nature is not automatically controlling temperature. For example, chicks can only be

hatched in a particular temperature and based on that, the incubator was designed to

control the temperature for hatching the eggs of chicks. The incubator makes the

temperature steady not to fall low or above the hatching temperature. The same is

applicable to almost all manufacturing companies, breweries, seasoning company

etc.

Temperature is very important in production of a lot of products and seasoning.

Temperature control requires expertise and accuracy for effectiveness and reliability

the computer with its sophisticated feature assuredly can handle the control of

temperature.
1.1 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Temperature control system need to be designed on accuracy with effective reception

and detection of environment temperature. This control has to be achieved best

without any human intervention.

Ineffective temperature control system cause a lot of damages to the system the

procedures it is designed for.

1.2 PURPOSE OF STUDY

The purpose of this study is to design simulation of a personal computerized

temperature control system which is built on accuracies, comprehensiveness and

which will also be cost effective

1.3 AIMS/OBJECTIVES

The aim of this project work is to design an effective temperature control system,

which is computer based and which will provide solution to the inaccuracy of he

manual system

The objectives include:

1. To design a temperature control system that will be very accurate and

effective
 2. To design a system that will be quite automatic without any human

intervention in its control

1.4 SCOPE OF STUDY

This work is to simulate an internal temperature control system for personal

temperature control.

1.5 CONSTRAINTS

In the course of this project work we found it very difficult to lay our hands on

material for its development. Time was also a hindrance.

1.6 ASSUMPTIONS

The full implementations of this work will prove computer versatility in every field

of human endeavor
