Shear design of wide beam ribbeds slabs
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2011-09)
A method for the shear design of wide beam ribbed slabs is proposed. The method modifies the current UK code design
method for solid slabs by applying a shear area factor which reduces the area of the code critical shear ...
Flow pattern in a horizontal primary separator
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2011-08)
It is important in any gravity separator to provide uniform flow conditions between the inlet and the outlets. In this study,
two-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling was used to reveal the problems ...
Tubular strength comparison of offshore jacket structures under API RP2A and ISO 19902
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2011-09)
Offshore jacket platforms in Malaysia are designed using API RP2A Working Stress Design (WSD) code. WSD code has
proved its effectiveness and has been in use for long time, but it needs to be changed into Load and Resistance ...
Comparison study of experimental and simulation temperature data in the esterification process of Palm Oil Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) in a fluidised reactor
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2011-09)
Palm Oil Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) is a by-product from palm oil refinery process and normally used as ingredient of
making candles, soap and others. Recently, many researchers have been carried out to diversify the ...
Thermal comfort assessment at parcel and logistic industry: A field study in Malaysia
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2011-09)
This paper presents the workers thermal sensation votes and perception of the thermal environment in air conditioning at one
of the workspace in Malaysian parcel and logistic industry. The environment factors examined was ...
Flow streamlining for cooling improvement in ventilated brake disc using CFD as design tool
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2011-09)
This paper presents experimental and Computational Fluids Dynamics (CFD) investigations of the flow and heat
transfer in ventilated brake discs. The validation CFD model is done using the straight blade (baseline design) ...
Zero discharge composting of palm oil mill wastes
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2011-09)
The conventional methods of disposal and treatment of oil palm mill wastes are not environmentally friendly and they result in
large amount of Greenhouse gases being emitted into the atmosphere. The technical feasibility ...
The performance of a prefaricated vertical drain trial embankment
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2011-09)
Two fuel scale trial embankments were constructed to a height of 3.65 m over the soft marine clay at Juru, Butterworth, Pulai Pinang. One of the embankments was improved using prefabricated vertical drain (PVD), and the ...
Physical, geotechnical and morphological characteristics of peat soils from Sarawak
(The Institution of Engineering, Malaysia (IEM), 2011-12)
In Malaysia, Sarawak has the largest area of peat-land in the country, covering approximately 1.66 million hectares. With the
rapid industrialisation and population growth, construction is scheduled almost all over the ...
Numerical and experimental study of shock/turbulent flow interaction – A code validation test
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2011-12)
A numerical code has been developed to solve the shock/turbulence interaction using grid adaptation technique. For the
code validation test, shock wave propagations through nozzle are studied experimentally and numerically ...
