REFLECTIONS
REFLECTION OF THE PROJECT
The idea of my lecturer of giving us this mode of educational idea startled me. All these while,when I was active gamer I have tried to relate the games I have played in both computer, mobile phone games to educational such as angry birds game for projectile motion during my foundation learning. This project helps me to create a good mode of game and valuable design for board game. Furthermore, this project even had me to create a video, a website and a new game in a single go. This project was a whole new level for me, but this is where I thought I would be able to learn new things. In a nutshell, I would like to thank my team mates; they were all giving their best commitment since the start and working towards achieving our goal.
REFLECTION OF SUBJECTS
KINETICS AND REACTOR DESIGN
One word to be said on Newton third law, every action has a equal and opposite reaction is what ultimately I have learned in Kinetic and Reactor Design subject. The reactor is the ultimate completion of the game. The player has one reactor each. Such as minor reactors and the completion of the game is achieved when the main reactor is compromised. Such as CSTR-PFR as in conquering liquid and followed by gas. Hence the map has water resources to show their minor reactors has liquid to conquer. The map that I have provided shows system and surrounding scheme to sync with questions asked during gameplay.
CHEMICAL PROCESS DYNAMIC, INSTRUMENTAION & CONTROL
This is the broader aspect of the newton law. In this aspect I have derived question for the ultimate functioning of reactors. Where without chemical dynamic process questions such as mass balance and energy balance in control equipment for the reactor to be functioning at the main, these questions are shot during game play.This subject has more calculation and engineering problems. This subject requires more understanding and practice.
PROCESS SAFETY & LOSS PREVENTION
The influence of this subject is the environment or known as surrounding of the game reactors. For a reactor to work perfectly surrounding must he taken care of. Same aspect used in these game we created via the area outside of the reactor which is made up of land and water to indicate the temperature and humidity correlation for an example. This subject has a lot of formulas and calculation. Each values and units are even significant. Our practice in class solving questions always arises minor misunderstanding in values due to the units. The key in this subject is not by reading but by doing endless practice.
REFLECTION ON THE QUESTIONS FOR THE BOARDGAMES
Regarding the questions on the board game, we decided as a team to 40 questions cards. Hence, each of us were to create 10 questions (3 Hard, 4 Medium, 3 Easy) respectively based on difficulty.
The question to be shot from each side is different than others but in permutation factor applied. To conquer the main reactor which is mostly derived as gas. And the minor reactor that every player already own acting as liquid and the land to be conquered reacting as surrounding is the sequence of the game. In scientifically it is surrounding control to condition control and at last to system control to win the game. In the game aspect is the minor reactor to land to reactor.
Each question will bring your level of thinking into the next level. This was because each difficulty provides different number of troops if the questioned is answered properly. We tried as much to relate to all 3 subjects (KRD, CPDIC & PSLP) into the board game.
REFLECTION ON THE PROJECT 2
No one could be happier than me, when Mr Tazli informed us that we have project, especially when he noted waste to wealth as I was planning to enter SEDEX for the same sector but my friends who were unhappy with my project because it was too complicating and not so special project. Hence I couldn't make it to SEDEX, but thanks to Mr. Tazli to provide us this topic particularly.
First of all, the project name is Waste cooking oil to FAME (Biodiesel) via ultrasonification. The reason, I believe this project is way better, even my friends disagree with me during SEDEX (not this project group), is because the ultrasonic cavitation technology is promising new alternative in modern biofuel industry, where many researchers and companies moved to this technology, except Asian countries (except China). As the leaders of ASEAN and the owner of RM 2.4 TRILLION (GDP), it would be a promising sector for Petronas to enrol in modern biofuel since Malaysia owns the largest EFB( palm oil waste) and large amount of waste cooking oil, after the largest country who producing gutter oil, China.
About the reflection on this project, I have provided the project idea, literature review and mass balance ( question 1-5), since the idea was introduced by me, I was explaining my other group mates and provided detailed self-researched literature review with 15 citation including our Malaysian researchers and UTP researcher Mr.Azmi Bustam ( for local WCO density). Without these people, especially Mr.Azmi Bustam it wouldn’t be possible to derive proper calculations.
During this project, the main problem was the project design, as I was looking Hielscher from Germany has tubular Ultrasonification, where the feed continuously reacts in a tubular reactor, and within 2-3 minutes the esterified oil and FAME is produced. Now imagine if the tubular reactor is large enough to sustain entire Johor waste palm oil fruit or Waste cooking oil. The time, money and most importantly compatibility is achieved.
But unfortunately, we couldn’t design this tubular ultrasonic due unavailability in internet resources. I do not blame that I didn't have the time to it as I was researching this since starting of 2015 for Sedex. The second problem, was the feed with proper Malaysian graded palm oil of waste cooking oil, from OUR kitchen. Fortunately, this problem was settled by Mr.Azmi to discover the experimented V5 cafeteria waste cooking oil together with molecular formula of Tripalmitin and Oleic acid for mass balance.
This project has major reflected on me after the design of the board game I did, and I would say this has been the best learning in my UTP experience, thanks to Mdm. Suzana and Mr. Tazli especially. It takes patience and believe to experiment such process.
The future recommend idea for this project would be, introduction of dry mass into ultrasonification so that we could use MSW and also later on derivation of microbial catalyst and the chemical vapour deposition of those synthetic catalyst on graphite bed and introduced into landfills and waste cooking oil (engineered for each) to reduce the time and to introduce straight to the current industry to reduce time and cost.
Thank you, for letting me to write this reflection on my pace and thanks a lot for reading it.
REFLECTION ON SUBJECTS (SECOND HALF OF THE SEM)
First and foremost, all three subjects gave us major hand during the derivation, designing and completion of the project. The key aspects of last lectures in control process subject has helped us to derive a better design for the reactor.
Kinetic reactor design subject is the main aspect of this project as I was using it for the designing of the reactor. The first encounter was this project has two maim reactor for the completion of biodiesel which is the first reactor is for esterification and the second reactor for transesterification. These both reactor have to be settled in series due to the first batch product must be separated using hydro cyclone and to be fed into the second reactor. The designing aspects from the chapter multiple reactors helped us to derive promising reactor design. Where else, the sizing is set to be CSTR and introducing of ultrasonic probe is crucial, but according to currents researches it has been solved. This subject has reflected the large part on this project and it has enabled me to learn the multiple reactor chapter more in detail and other chapters as well which is relevant to this project.
The second subject would be control process dynamic and instrumentation control, which has also contributed to this subject for question 6 /7, the transfer function. We have implemented our knowledge onto this sector as we were also considering the transfer function for mA to kHz function in modern researches. After detail understanding we have provided the transfer function as per our understanding. The second part that enabled me to understand is to derive the control instruments such as pressure gauge, temperature sensor, transmitter, because the ultrasonic cavitation has sinusoidal pressure drop due to intense mixing and the formation of bubbles via cavitation. These were not included, but I have self-researches this for future purposes to derive a portable biomass to biodiesel machine.
Last but not least, the subject Process Safety and Loss Prevention which has contributed equally to this subject as we were deriving HAZOP test. We could not spend less time as we taught, because the stream that we have to be introduced has 5 streams with different feed, because there is two reactors and each reactor has two stream and the second reactor has extra one stream. The two process which need catalyst made us to research more on the HAZOP since it needed the temperature and pressure aspects together it derived the test. Hence, this subject has proved to us in this project, the stream that should be kept at optimal is needed for even reactor or physical aspects to work.
In a nutshell, all these subjects have contributed equally and well to help us complete this project while educating us to derive many new theories.
Thank you.

CONTRIBUTIONS
CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS THE PROJECT
I have ultimately spending my time and energy to provide a proper mode of game. The idea was to provide a proper surface area to plam their strategy and place their next move in peoper tactical mimd. Hence, my contribution towards this project is the strategic idea of gameplay area, game play map and the entire production of the board game to be played as in the physical framework of the board game. My idea regarding this project was to create an extraordinary board game where, I love critical thinking skills and strategy games. I would even say that I’m fan of board games and love to play any new board game that would push me to think to greater heights hence this board game was created. This board game compromises of various types games combine into one.
For the second project, I have done Question 1, 2, 3 and 4. Besides, I have done the prezi for PSLP chapter 8 and CPDIC chapter 9.
