KRD GROUP 4

KRD- Having learnt the basic theory part of the kinetic reactor, the second part of the subject emphasizes on the experimental and more realistic situation of a reactor. In chapter 4, I learned how to get the reaction order from the data. I learned about maximizing the selectivity of desired product in multiple reaction: parallel & series reactions in chapter 6. I learned about the adiabatic reactor which was assumed to be isothermal in the previos chapter. I also learned about the reversible reactions and equilibrium constant in chapter 8. Dr Tazli has a interative and interesting teaching style, helping student to understand the subject by the means of multimedia. I like this kind of teaching style. However, project given is not reasonable with the huge load of works but low rewards in marks. In addition, this project was given after the completion of another project that contains the same load of works, not to say that we are having other subjects in the same time. I hope Mr Tazli will be more concerned about this matter in the future. Students are demotivated, exhausted and having depression. No pain, no gain. I am still very grateful to have Mr Tazli as my lecturer. I learn a lot in these 2 project. 

 

CPDIC- The second part of this subject emphasize more on getting a stable, fast response and accurate signal. I learn about the proportional, integral and deriavative controller. I learn how to construct a block diagram of controller. I learn about the concept of stability. In the frequency response chapter, I learn the concept of a Bode diagram, Gain margin and phase margin. Also, in the last chapter I learn about the instrumentation of the control element. Mrs Haslinda's teaching style is straight forward. This helps the students to understand the subject faster. 

 

PSLP- Second part of this subject starts with the fire and explosion chapter. Next I learned about the hazard identification for my second krd project. Dr. Zul continued his teaching style and I enjoyed the class.

KRD – I have noticed that the chapters that we've learnt in this course is coherent to the title of the course, which is kinetics and reactor design. This subject is really beneficial for us in the future for industrial purposes.

 

CPDIC – This course has definitely became more interesting as it approached towards the end of the chapters. Previously, I did not really have a good grasp on what this course would benefit us in the future. However said, I believe that due to this project as well as our lecturer that I've finally gotten a good understanding of the application of the knowledge that we've learnt to industries in the future.

 

PSLP – This course has personally improved my consciousness on the importance of hazards and how we should take extra precautions toward these hazards, as well as to learn an approach to handle it well during emergencies.

KRD- This course is the most unique course I have ever had in my whole university life. Even though the name of this course is “Kinetics Reactor Design”, I learnt various software and soft skills through this course. Thanks to Mr. Tazli we are able to experience this unique interactive learning method. It is challenging yet very fulfilling after we manage to complete all the projects given. The take home test is another new thing to me. Creating questions and answer scheme of high order thinking is not an easy task; in fact it is extremely hard. Anyways, despite all these challenges, we will ultimately learn something out of these.

 

CPDIC- At first I thought I will hate this CPDIC course as I initially thought it was hard. However as I go through this semester, I am slowly picking it up and actually grew to like this subject. I am now able to do mathematical modelling of chemical processes. I also learn about all sorts of controller as well as control and process Instrumentation. I learnt many new concepts such as frequency response, gain and phase margins. I hope to apply this in the near future.

 

PSLP- After this semester of Process Safety and Loss Prevention course, I am now more aware and conscious of HSE of a process. I am able to describe hazards with the standards and regulatory requirement as well as identify potential hazards using HAZOP technique. I am also able to evaluate hazards using suitable source of toxic release, fire, explosion and dispersion models as well as the impact of hazards to people and structure using effect models. Besides, I am able to assess risk due to hazards using Fault Tree and Event Tree analysis. Finally, I am able to propose suitable mitigation techniques to eliminate or reduce hazards. This course has prepared me well when I face the industrial world.

As far as CPDIC is concern,  this subject is the hardest subject I have ever encountered. This is because there are many derivation of equation for different control process situation. This subject requires time and patience to grasp the concept. However, I am grateful to have Dr Abbas as my lecturer because he is very approachable and helps the students to understand his lecture.

 

Dr Haslinda took over the responsibilty of delivering lectures for the 2nd term of the semester. Somehow, I would say that now CPDIC is starting to make sense to me. It all about making system efficient and make it stable. Sound simply but it is not that simple. The assignments she provided consists of real life application question which help me to see how different type of stability problem may occur in the plant and how to tackle it. The simulation lab also help me to understand Mathlab better and  the methods of running simulation with it. I think it be very useful for me during my future working time.

 

Thank you Dr Abbas and Dr Haslina

KRD - For the second half of the semester until now of learning Kinetic Reactor Design, I can understand how the subject really interrelated among the chapters as what Dr. Tazli teach us. Apart from the course it self, the new style of teaching promoted by Dr. Tazli is very convenient for me which we can actually listen to his lecture on the YouTube while doing other works because me as student apparently spent more time on the internet, so this is a good option for me to study. Maybe some modification can be made in term of method since this is a first try, hundreds of feedback should be taken for future improvement. For example, ask the class representative to discuss among the student first about how they feel regarding the method used. Hence, a proper feedback can be gain. 

CPDIC – I realized on the second part of this subject, there are more theoretical parts in control compare to first part which is more to calculation and derivation. It is interesting to understand the theory behind first before learning the calculation part. By using this way, students can have a better understanding in what they are learning. Dr. Haslinda style of teaching is really comfortable as she will ask a few students to do in front of board and discuss with the whole class. We can really understand as she will repeat the last activities in the next class with different question.

PSLP – For the second part, Dr. Dzulkarnain remain teaching us with his styles of teaching by giving us assignment in class after finish his explanation from the slide. He will guide all of us during doing the assignment. Plus, his class is very flexible which he we used wisely his ease us to understand better and the class can be finish early and we can have more time on the exercise.
