Integrating safety and health indexes in computer-aided molecular design under property prediction uncertainty
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2017-06)
Computer-Aided Molecular Design (CAMD) is a powerful tool for designing promising molecules with the targeted properties. Besides properties, the safety and health aspects must also be considered during design stage to ...
Production and characterization of biopolyols from crude glycerol based liquefaction process
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2017-06)
The feasibility of using palm kernel cake and crude glycerol in liquefaction process to produce bio polyol was investigated in this study. The identiied parameters for liquefaction conditions were reaction temperature, ...
Debottlenecking of the integrated biomass network with sustainability index in Malaysia
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2017-06)
The world has grown large interest towards the biomass industry but there are many challenges that forbid the commercialization of biomass conversion technologies. The underutilized biomass in Malaysia proves that optimisation ...
Reinforced concrete strength at slab and column intersection
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2017-12)
This paper proposes a method modified from that as first suggested by Siao1 to determine the effect on column strength taking into consideration the effect of confinement by the surrounding slab. Previous test results2-4 ...
Integrated infrastructure systems for future-ready cities
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2017-12)
Cities are complex large-scale systems of which water and transport systems are as critical as the fragility of the aging urban centres. A Future-ready city would require a total review of the integration of residential, ...
Guided scrambling as a peak to average power ratio reduction technique for digital video broadcasting-terrestrial 2
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2017-12)
Analogue Broadcast Transmitters are being replaced by Digital Transmitters based on standards using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM). However, high Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) is limiting the performance ...
Synergic effect and kinetic mechanisms for Co-Pyrolysis of empty fruit bunch and palm oil sludge
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2017-06)
The thermochemical behaviour of Co-Pyrolysis between Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) and Palm Oil Mill Efluent (POME) sludge were studied using Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). EFB, POME sludge, and their blends (EFB : POME ...
Maximizing the impact of air bubbles for membrane fouling control in microalgae harvesting
(The Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (IEM), 2017-06)
Harvesting microalgae using membrane is challenging due to the nature of microalgae having very high membrane fouling potential. Numerous techniques have been proposed for membrane fouling control, including optimizing ...
