Consultancies Design, build and commission a wind tunnel Design, build and commission our own wind tunnel is a large
project. It started in April 2013 and is expected to complete in March 2015.
A lot of the faculty staff is involved, they are from the Department of
Mechanical and Materials and the department of Civil and Structure, the
Faculty of Engineering Built Environment. Final year students and research
students have been involved in the project. Upon successful commission, the
wind tunnel would be able to perform for experiments with velocity up to 30
m/s with test section 3.0 m (length) x 0.5 m (height) x 1.0 m (width). The
wind tunnel is an open-return type, powered by 18 kW motor-fan. It has a
variable speed drive (VSD) capability i.e. air velocity could be control
using programming codes. The wind tunnel has already have its own 2 axis traversing
system, a particle image velocimetry (PIV) and bunch of delicate equipment
such as hotwire anemometry, pitot-tube-pressure transducer, temperature, room
humidity and barometric pressure sensor. We built our own hotwire repair
bench, therefore we could run experiments at controlled or at most of desired
sensor diameters and lengths.
LaTeX for journal
submission and thesis GayaUKM© GayaUKM©
is a LATEX class for authoring theses that fullfill
formatting specifications required by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Malaysia. Why LaTeX? Many reputable journals prefer manuscripts to be
prepared and submitted using LaTeX to ensure
consistent adherence to formatting requirements. UKM through its Pusat Pengajian Siswazah (PPS) – or the Centre for Graduate Studies
therefore feels that a LaTeX class and guidelines
for authoring theses is necessary to promote general document authoring using
LaTeX. Air
conditioning and ventilation for the passenger halls, Bangunan Sultan
Iskandar and JB Sentral Working as a design engineer with Macroworks
(2002-2003) and Gerbang Perdana (2003-2007) for the Gerbang
Selatan Bersepadu (GSB) Project gave me access to
insights of air-conditioning systems in large halls and underground
facilities where typical fire department specifications do not apply. Large
halls exceeding 1000m3 require different fire protection system
than a typical space because for example a sprinkler system do not work in a
triple volume height. Furthermore, simulations are usually required by the
fire department to ensure that the ventilation and fire protection systems
work. In the event of fire, in the worst case scenario, occupants must be
able to find their ways out while ventilation system extracts harmful gases
from ‘air-traps’ in high levels of a floor. The Malaysian
Professional Engineer programme The Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM) is a statutory body
constituted under the Registration of Engineers Act 1967 with perpetual
succession and a common seal. It was formed in 23rd August 1972. BEM falls
within the ambit of responsibility of the Minister of Works. Vested with wide
powers, the Minister may suspend the operation of the Registration of
Engineers Act 1967 (REA 1967) in any part of Malaysia by notification in the
gazette. The appointment of the Board Members and the Registrar is made by
the Minister. Its primary role is to facilitate the registration of engineers
and regulate the professional conduct and practice of registered engineers in
order to safeguard the safety and interest of the public. The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM) was established in 1959
and its primary function is to promote and advance the science and profession
of engineering in any or all of its disciplines and to facilitate the
exchange of information and ideas related to engineering. The governing body
of the IEM is the Council, headed by the President. The affairs of the
Council are carried out by the Executive Committee. The award and registration of a professional engineer is under
the purview of BEM, however BEM no longer handles the selections,
examinations and other related procedures. These are handled by IEM. The
Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, Faculty of Engineering
and Built Environment has appointed myself to review the procedures for staff
to become one and ensure compliance with the Engineering Accreditation
Council (EAC) requirement,
with regards to professional engineering. The EAC is a delegated body by BEM
as the only recognized accrediting body for engineering degree programmes
offered in the nation.
