SINGAPORE TRIP 2007






As usual, visiting Singapore during the Christmas Festive Season is my annual event. This year, it seems like not much sales in Singapore. According to them, the economy is not so good there, but the shopping complexes are still full with visitors.
I like Singapore because of their public transport system is really convenient. For 4 days stay in Singapore, I just spent less than SGD20 for the MRT fares. Eat a lot there and of course shopped a lot too, especially my wife. 3 pairs of shoes, several pairs of shirts and skirts and of course my G2000. The chocolate was sold extremely cheap in Singapore compared to Malaysia.
China Town, Tampines, Jurong East, Ang Mo Kio, City Hall, Raffles Place, Woodlands, Redhills, Boon Lay and Bugis .... all of these places have my memories while I was working there. So, every time visit Singapore, I will try to go and see any changes there and refresh my memories, my good time over there.

phD

Today received a call from Dr. Yau, UM. He offered me to undertake a project under his supervision as my phD project. I felt over excited and have a great chance to pursue my phD in UK which I never expect for this. If I do this in full time basis, meaning that I have to quit and concentrate on my studies. Everybody also share my happiness on this matter. Or I should go back to industries? Need some time to consider this. Headache!

WHY FORGIVE?

There is a hard law ... When an injury is done to us, we never recover until we forgive. How should you forgive, and why? I can't tell you. It's probably the hardest thing you'll ever attempt to do. But I can tell you what I've seen and experienced personally: once you are able to let go of wrongs that have been done to you, it changes everything. It will change your relationships, your attitudes, your emotional make-up - your whole approach to living. It will give you a better life. Plus, you'll find that when you forgive, you're always a winner. You don't lose a thing. Because it's not a sign of weakness to love somebody who hurts you. It's a sign of strength.
Hope for a great-sea-change
On the far side of revenge.
Believe that a further shore
Is reachable from here.
Believe in miracles
And cures and healing wells.
Sometimes, even when we recognize the need to forgive, we are tempted to claim that we cannot. It is simply too hard, too difficult - something for saints, maybe, but not the rest of us. We have been hurt just one time too many, we think, or misunderstood. Our side of the story has not been adequately heard. The strongest motivation for forgiveness is always the sense of having received forgiveness ourselves, or - if we do not have that - an awareness that, like everyone else in the human race, we are imperfect and have done things we need to be forgiven for. For me, the act of forgiveness carries a lot of power. It is an assertion of one's dignity to have the means and ability to forgive. .. It may be difficult to understand, because it turns conventional logic on its head, but idealistically speaking, I think that if there is to be peace, there has to be forgiveness ......
Truth without love kills, but love without truth lies.

EXAM

Students are having their final examination now. After checking for the first paper, it seems that their performance (not all, but 80%) not meeting my expectation. But some of them really can do it well. They fully understood the concept of the system and know how to apply the knowledge they gained from me. For those who are doing well, we wish them all the best, and for those who are not doing so good, don't give up, you all are still young. Life long learning! Sure you all also can do it! Keep it up!

HANOI TRIP












During the raya holiday, I had paid a visit to Hanoi, Vietnam. Indeed it is an old town, but the people that I met there were all young. I can say the average age is around 23 - 25 years old only. An old city with new looks of young generation. They used to roam around with their motorbikes, day and night. That's why the street is busy with all kind of motorbikes and the motorists are without helmet somemore. According to the local, the government with enforce the rule to use helmet from December onwards. So, helmet business will have a bright market there now. Everywhere we will hear the horning sound, but not the banging sound. Eventhough they ride with fast but they are not rude. Extremely difficult to across the road even with the green light of traffic light.



The buildings are narrow and tall. There has no supermarket but retail shops every where. The street was quite organised coz they divided it into specialty of the products being sold, such as handphone street, art street, fashion street, food and beverage street, and so on.



Visited some places by following the simple sketch provided by the hotel manager. Communication is one of our problem and currency as well. We thought that they will be using USD, so we just brought over USD. Who knows, they are using their own currency Vietnam Dong. But they still accept USD la, we have to convert it before we purchased. They are very smart, they charged us higher coz we are not local.



Halong bay was the best spot that I visited during this trip. Peaceful with nice scenery view. No one will deny this.

SELAMAT HARI RAYA

One week before Raya, my students have already started their raya mood. Normal la, myself last time also had the same action. Really excited when the gema raya is just at the edge of the corner. The preparation and waiting mode or standby mode really enjoyable. Housekeeping and decorative works really delighten our life. Especially when the raya songs 'berkumandang' (is it a correct word?), really syok la!
Sama-sama we all celebrate this Raya. I sincerely wish you all Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri and maaf zahir dan batin. If tersalah cakap or dengan nada tinggi, ampun maaf diminta!
Hati-hati di jalanraya dan jangan main mercun. Nak main, main pop-pop mercun dah le!

FASTING MONTH

During this month, everybody is tired, including me. Why? For those students who are fasting, of course they are tired, but how about me? Why?
When you are talking in front and didn't get any response from them, then you will feel tired. because this is one man show. You are the only one 'syok sendiri' in front there, where got fun one. The atmosphere is very dull. It makes me tired.

CAMBODIA











Last week visited Siem Reap. Angkor Wat was our destination in fact. 1st day when arrived at Siem Reap, we visited the Tonle Sap Lake which I believed is the largest lake in Asia. There are houses built on the lake, and boats are the houses for the Cambodians. They are poor, I can say. Most of the small kids are forced to sell fruits and drinks under the sun. It was really hot when I was sitting in the boat with shaded. And I can't imagine how hot they are and how can they all withstand with the high temperature under the sun??? The water of the lake is brownish and they consume the water, shower there, shit there and throw the rubbish there. They are living with the unhealthy environment, but they have to!
2nd day visited the Angkor Wat. It was really amazing and unbelievable. The design, the carving, and the structure of the building made me feel powerless. The Cambodians have contributed so much for the heritage, but what is my contribution so far??? Nothing! The children were running around to promote their handicraft and drinks. They were trained to be a professional sales person. At this age, they should be at the school to gain more knowledge, and not at the road side busy with the earnings. This should be their parents' work. We met a 10 year old boy selling coconut drink alone. He was very lucky because we were there and a big group of Taiwanese tourist were buying from him. Because he is just a small boy and running the business alone, so everybody was pity about him and willing to wait for a long queue. In fact, there was another stall selling coconut juice just next to him, but nobody was buying from there.
Most of the product was sold at USD1 or the kids were just asking for USD1. But with just USD1, can we change their fate? I think it should be enough for them to buy food and other basic needs. But going to school, or I should say a guaranteed future, I think it's really beyond my capability.
We are very lucky including my children. We have computer, mp3, camera, TV, DVD, motorbike, mountain bike, car, beautiful house, handphone, and so many luxury stuffs. And the most important thing is we have opportunity to go to school and even university which can guarantee our future. So, we should appreciate on what we are having now! When you are eating at the food stall or kedai mamak, think about them who are chasing tourist just to get a USD. OK?

CONVOCATION


After 1 and a half years, finally I manage to complete my master course in UPM. Although there were some problems at the final stage of my project, but eventually they were solved successfully. Today is my convocation. All my family members attended my convo full with excitement, especially my parents. Because this year a bit special, yesterday was my younger brother's graduation and today it's my convocation. When I walked into the hall, the feeling when I attended for the oath taking ceremony 1 and a half years ago suddenly appear. That day, I told myself, after 3 semester, I will be back here for my convacation again. And today I make it. When walking up to the stage and get the scroll from the Pro Canselor, I really feel proud of myself. To further my studies if without my wife's moral support, I don't think that I will quit from my previous company and join UniKL-MFI. My initial planning was joining UniKL-MFI as a stepping stone for me, coz I will have more time to concentrate on my studies. After that, I might go back to industries or further for my phD. But today, I might change my initial planning, coz I found "something" that I can't find it from the industries.
Chase for your dream, no matter how difficult it is, just face it! Solve it! If you think you can, then you can. I can do it, you can do it too!

Why boring???

Almost every class, students will do their presentation on a particular topic. And nearly all the presentation having the same response from the students. What response? Sleepy and boring! When the presenter scroll down the next slide, they will hope to see the wording "Thank you!" or "The End". If they see not their wanted slide, then they will ask when the presentation will end and how many remaining slides to go? Not only the students' presentation will have this type of response, even my presentation also having the same problem. Is that my lecture so boring? How to improve it? Purely theory, students will feel boring, calculation pulak, students will afraid to do it coz they don't like figures. Then how?

PJ HALF MARATHON


This month really full with RUNS. Perhaps it is because of the Merdeka month, so everyone also busy with organising this type of run.

Last Sunday joined the PJ half marathon. It was my 3rd half marathon. For me, it was really tough and exhausting. Maybe, I used to run for 10km, and when run for 21 km, I felt like wanted to stop half way. It was not easy. It really challenge my will power and spirit. Along the way, there were so many vehicles passing by, creating not only the dust and toxic gases, but it really affected my running mood. Know why? Cause I wanted to 'tumpang' them especially for the last 4 km. But, finally I manage to complete the run. I won myself cause never stop from running, but I lost to the qualifying time. Basically, I enjoy the run! Feel self-satisfaction!

SOLUTION FOR ACR 3933 2ND ASSIGNMENT - PSYCHROMETRICS

Question 1:
The air vapor mixture leaving the saturator will be saturated at 76 F. The relative humidity at saturation is 100%.

Question 2:
Sensible Heat Removed = 1.1*1 000cfm * (80-50) = 33 000 Btu/hr
Latent Heat removed = 0.69 * 1 000cfm * (77-54) = 15 870 Btu/hr
The factor 1.1 used in the sensible heat formula is a combination figure which converts cfm to lbs. per hour, and also takes into account the amount of heat required to raise 1 lb. of air 1 degree in temperature.
The factor 0.69 used in the latent heat formula is also a combination figure which converts cfm into lbs. per hour and also takes into account the amount of heat removed to condense moisture.

Question 3:
The mixture will be closest to the larger air quantity. In this case, it is the 80 DB condition. The total cfm in the mixture is 2 000 cfm. 500 cfm of outdoor air represents 500/2,000 or 1/4 of the mixture. The temperature difference between point 1 (80 DB) and point 2 (96 DB) is 96-80 or 16 degrees. One-quarter of 16 is 4 degrees. Therefore, the mixture is at 80+4 or 84 DB or point 3.
By locating 84F on line 1-2, we can determine the other properties by using the psychrometric chart.
a. DB = 84 F
b. WB = 69.2 F
c. DP = 62 F
d. Spec. hum. = 83.75 grains.

Remarks:
The temperature of the mixture can also be determined by calculation as follows:
tm = [(cfm1*t1)+(cfm2*t2)]/(cfm1 + cfm2) = [(1500*80)+(500*96)]/(1500+500) = 84 F

SOLUTION FOR ACR3422 PSYCHROMETRICS 1ST ASSIGNMENT

Question 1:
Locate points for recirculated and outside air on the chart. connect with a straight line. Read specific volumes of air at each point from chart. Convert cfm of air to pounds of air and find total weight of mixture.
7500/13.22 = 567.3 lbs./min
2500/14.37 = 173.9 lbs./min
Total weight = 741.2 lbs/min
Dry bulb of mixture =
(567.2/741.2)*57=43.6
(173.9/741.2)*96=22.5
Therefore, DB=66.1 deg F
From intersection of 66.1 deg F DB line with line between two points, read WB=62.1F, h=27.83 Btu/lb. dry air, humidity ratio = 77.1 gr. of moisture/lb. of dry air.
Approximate solution does not convert cfm to pounds per minute.
(7500/10 000)*57 = 42.75
(2500/10 000)*96 = 24.00
Mixture DB = 66.75 deg F.
At intersection of this line with line between two points, read WB = 62.5 F, h = 28.1 Btu/lb. dry air, humidity ratio = 78.0 grains of moisture/lb.of dry air.

Question 2:
Locate the initial condition on the chart. Draw a horizontal line through the initial point to the 95 F DB line. Read 7.3% RH, WB = 59.2 F and DP = 23.5 F.
Read enthalpy of initial air as 11.1 Btu/lb=h1
Read enthalpy of final air as 25.6 Btu/lb. = h2.
Heat added equals difference 14.5 Btu/lb.

Question 3:
Locate the initial and final conditions on the chart.
For the initial condition read W1 = 81.7; h1 = 32.48
For the final condition read W2 = 56.2; h2 = 21.4
Heat removed: h2 - h1 = 21.4 - 32.48 = -11.08 Btu/lb.dry air.
Moisture removed: W2 - W1 = 56.2 - 81.7 = -25.5 grains.
To determine the SHR, draw a straight line between the initial and final conditions. Draw a line parallel to this one from the reference point at 78 F DB and 50% RH to the sensible heat ratio scale. Read SHR = 63.8

CONSTRUCTION OF CONTROLLED SPACES

  1. any vapor barrier must be continuous, without breaks or tears.
  2. all lap joining must be tightly closed. (this is particularly critical when mechanical or caulked joints are used).
  3. insulation between vapor barriers can be a potential problem. if construction occurs in humid weather, moisture can be sealed in between the two vapor barriers. Sealed-in water vapor will travel into the controlled space and impose an extra drying load on the drying equipment. this extra load lasts only until the insulation dries out, but meanwhile humidity control is difficult. if a heat source is present (even heat from the sun), serious damage can be caused by the expanding trapped vapor. there have been cases when so-called "non-permeable" materials have split open at a joint because of vapor pressure. examples include a floor or tiled wall that has literally lifted from its mounting surface because the surface was wet during application.
  4. final inside vapor barriers should be applied only after the enclosed area has been dried. drying equipment should be used to withdraw as much moisture as possible before the final barrier is applied. of course, without a barrier in place, equipment cannot dry the air to design specifications, but a significant amount can and should be removed before all the vapor barrier material is in place. (Although this strategy is not included in most industrial planing suggestions, the concept of drying the structure before applying the final vapor barrier is a precaution that is often overlooked and can help prevent problems associated with trapped water vapor).
  5. all doors, service or personnel, should be weather-stripped or air locked through vestibules if the desired conditions warrant it. any crack or opeingng around a door will admit water vapor.
  6. when a conveyor opening or similar elements are used, a drop curtain, shroud, or tunnel will reduce the migration of water vapor.

Whose fault? Engineering control or Administrative control?

This afternoon while I was having lunch, there was an accident occurred in front of the restaurant. A Vios bang with a Harrier. Quite serious because the front wheel of the Vios seems like came out from the car body already. The 2 drivers were arguing on whose fault. Everybody was blaming on the opposite party. The cross road without stop-look-go sign. So, whose fault was that? Just think about this???

THE NATURE OF WATER VAPOR

Consider two closed rooms adjacent to one another. If the partial pressure of the water vapor in room #1 is greater than the partial pressure of the water vapor in room #2, then the water vapor will travel through the wall into room #2 regardless of the composition of the wall.
Let's take this hypothetical example a step further. If the absolute humidity of the air in room #1 is greater than that of the air in room #2, then the water vapor pressure will be higher in room #1. Therefore, when drying room #2, the problem of water vapor coming through the wall from room #1 must be considered.
A vapor barrier can slow down the passage of vapor from wet to drier areas, but it cannot keep water vapor out; it can only slow the rate of penetration.
The choice of a vapor barrier is based on the degree of dryness required in the controlled space; the efficiency of the equipment being used for drying; and the cost of construction.
Commercial vapor barriers, moisture resistant construction material,p paints an other coatings, offer a variety of design alternatives. Manufacturers of vapor barrier materials can supply specific information on their products.

USING DESICCANTS TO DRY AIR

A simple straight forward way to obtain dry is to use desiccants - that is, adsorbents or materials that have a natural affinity for water. A desiccant is able to take up the additional moisture given up by the air without changing its size or shape. So an air stream can pass through a desiccant and become significantly drier without elaborate cooling, compression, or other complex systems or controls. After the drying task is complete, the desiccant is regenerated, and is ready to dry more air.
A desiccant dehumidifier utilizes only a small amount of desiccant at any one time and constantly regenerates a s part of a continuous cycle. This simple equipment is manufactured in many sizes, from very Small to very large to meet various dry air requirements.
An added feature of the dehumidifier is its ability to function equally well at extremely low to very high levels of humidity with no regeneration problems and no changes in cycle control. Its versatility in performing in any type of application is unique among most methods of drying air.

relationship

This afternoon while setting up the LCD projector and my laptop for the student's presentation, suddenly a student asked me,"Sir tahu buat pizza?" I really got shock on how can he know that? I was silence for a few seconds, coz I was just 'digesting' his question. Then only I realized that I did write this in my blogger. Meaning that he really read my blogger and not only looking for his assignment only. Feel glad coz my blogger has become a platform or medium for us to know each other. Or let them know me better. Hopefully it will create a closer relationship between me and the students.

PROBLEM SOLVING

Everyday we face problem. But all the problems, we manage to solve it eventually. But before the problems been solved, we will worry about it. Why? Because we are so committed to our work. We worry it will spoil our reputation, worry about our year end appraisal, worry about the client will not be happy with us and end up with termination of project, and there are so many worries!
Every problem sure will has its solution. If we spend some time to analyze the problem and situation with open minded, then we will see the ways! Of course, who caused the problem? Don't blame people, it always our faults or careless mistakes. I learnt from mistakes. Not mistake but mistakes. Now, everything I follow black and white. No argument after this. Fair to every parties.
Talk easy and advise people lagi easy. When I face problem, also 'musam muka' for the whole day.

DESICCANT DEHUMIDIFICATION VS MECHANICAL REFRIGERATION

Both desiccant dehumidifiers and mechanical refrigeration systems can remove moisture from the air, so the question is - which type is best suited for a given application? There really are no simple answers to this question but there are several generally accepted guidelines which most dehumidifier manufacturers follow:
1.
Both desiccant-based and refrigeration-based dehumidification systems work most efficiently when used together. The advantages of each compensate for the limitations of the other.
2.
Refrigeration-based dehumidification systems are more economical than desiccants at high temperatures and high moisture levels. In general, mechanical refrigeration systems are seldom used for applications below 45% RH. For example, in order to maintain an outlet condition of 40% RH, it would be necessary to bring the coil temperature down to -1 deg C (30 deg F), which results in the formation of ice on the coil and a reduction in moisture removal capacity. Efforts to prevent this (defrost cycles, tandem coils, brine solutions, etc.) can be very cumbersome and expensive.
3.
Desiccant-based systems are more economical than refrigeration systems at lower temperatures and lower moisture levels. Typically, a desiccant dehumidification systems is utilized for applications below 45% RH down to less than 1% RH. Thus, in many applications, a DX or chilled water pre-cooling coil is mounted directly at the dehumidifier inlet. This design allows for removal of much or the initial heat and moisture prior to entering the dehumidifier where the moisture is reduced even further.
4.
The difference in the costs of electrical power and thermal energy (i.e. natural gas or steam) will determine the ideal mix of desiccant to refrigeration-based dehumidification in a given application. If thermal energy is inexpensive and power costs are high, a desiccant-based system will be most economical to remove the bulk of the moisture from the air. If power is inexpensive and thermal energy for reactivation is costly, a refrigeration-based system is the most efficient choice.

air conditioning system

Last Tuesday, I attended a power breakfast which organised by Trane Malaysia. The speaker was their Director. The seminar was really useful and valueable.
The new technology that being used by Trane can now produce chilled water at a lower temperature compared to the conventional chiller. The normal design chilled water supply temperature is 44 deg F, whereas the chilled water return temperature is 54 deg F. The temperature difference is 10 deg F. But now, Trane's chiller can produce a higher temperature difference at 16 deg F, which chilled water supply temperature can reduce to 42 deg F and the chilled water return temperature can be increased to 58 deg F. Since the chilled water flowrate depends on the temperature difference, therefore, the pipe size can be reduced and the installation and material costs will be lowered. Besides, a smaller pump will be installed too.
The formulae involved is:

Water flow rate, usgpm = tonnage x 24/ delta T.

If the delta T is a bigger value, then the required chilled water flow rate will be lesser. Therefore, we need a small chilled water pipe size.

Power Gel

Before this never hear about power gel. Until after joining all the runs and marathon, then only I know this product. Can you image how important this power gel to me? Because of the Utusan 10km run, we went to a few shops such as Watson and Guardian to look for this product. From Kajang to Puchong, from Puchong to Sunway Pyramid. After searching for weeks via internet, eventually we found it at Sunway Pyramid. A small packet cost us RM5.50, is that expensive? Well, it's worthy to consume it for runs. Perhaps it is not true to say this, I feel more powerful and energitic. Runs become easier and more fun. The only difficult thing is to register for all these runs. In order to register a run, we need to go to Kelana Jaya and Bandar Damansara. It took us more than 3 hours to complete the task. Sigh!

Dream...

My mom is a full time housewife and my dad likes to cook. Therefore, I am influenced by them and like to cook. Not only continental food, but western food as well. Mom likes to bake cakes and bread. So, I learned from her to make cakes and pau. And very lucky, my neighbours are pastry chef some more. He taught me to bake cheese cake and tiramisu. And 2 days ago, I learned making pizza chrust from him too. This time I can say is successful compare to last 2 times.
Outside food is added with chemical ingredients. I prefer to make myself and let my lovely children to bring to school. Previously, I have a dream to open a bakery near my house, and let my wife to run the business. At the same time, she can take care of the children. But she seems like enjoying her work as a banker.

SPIDER MAN

2 days ago, I have a chance to chit-chat with my neighbour, his name is Raymond. I told him that my son fell and hit his mouth. Raymond said it is normal for a little boy. According to him, his son after watching the spiderman at the cinema, and he bought a pair of spiderman costume for him, now his son always climb up and down, here and there in his spiderman costume. In fact, I saw many times that his son really climbed up to the window grille with his lovely costume and mask. See, how big impact or effect a movie to a little kid! For me, I think we need to filterise the movie or accompany our children when watching movie, especially this type of movie.

Putrajaya Breakfast Run

I joined a few runs since last year. And I really enjoyed all the runs, such as the Putrajaya International Marathon, Mizuno Run, Great Eastern Run, USJ 10km run, Selayang 10km run, Bomba Run and etc. After joining all these runs for around 6 months, my weight had been reduced from 76 kg to 65 kg. I feel healthier compared to last time. The benefits of running not only limited to this, I feel cheerful too! All the working pressure has been released.
Anyone who wish to start joining runs, maybe you can try the Putrajaya Breakfast Run which will be held on the 19/8/07 7.30a.m.
