Design and Analysis of In-Field Liner (IFL) and IFL Pulling Head for Underwater Pipeline

In-Field Liner (IFL) is generally a flexible composite liner pipe, where it is commonly used nowadays to replace the degraded oil and gas steel pipeline. This project is aimed to determine the feasibility and the capability of IFL pipe to sustain the force exerted by the pulling cable in the pulling process to replace the degraded underwater steel pipeline for oil and gas application. There are two main concerns for this project, which are to design a pulling head for IFL pipe and analysis of the IFL pipe in term if its reaction to a certain amount of pulling force used in the pulling process. For design purposes, CATIA V5R20 software is used whereas ANSYS v14.0 software is used for analysis and simulation purposes. The pulling head design is created using CATIA software according to the specifications of IFL pipe, so that the pulling head will fit properly on the IFL pipe when it is attached. For analysis of IFL pipe, the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model of IFL pipe in its folded configuration (U-shaped form) will be simulated using ANSYS software in order to determine the ability of IFL pipe to withstand the pulling force exerted by the pulling cable and its reaction to the pulling load will be the priority of this project as this will determine the relevancy and the feasibility of the replacement process by pulling the IFL pipe through the inner side the degraded steel pipelin

Improving die exchange process in textile manufacturing company with single minute exchange of die (SMED)

This study presents collaboration between a textile manufacturing company in Malaysia and Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka. In this Company-University Collaboration (CUC), Single Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) was introduced in the company to improve the time-consuming changeover process of its stamping machine. This project were implemented on press machine own by this company. Since this machine are currently performing critical production process, it is important that this machine could be utilized as much as it can be. The problem regarding these machine are currently changeover steps are ambiguous resulting towards a more complicated steps exist during changeover procedures. In this case it is important to identify and classify between the internal and external activities between all of them. Hence those activities later could be simplified and from that a new changeover procedure could be developed. The framework of this study involves identifying current condition of changeover procedures, identifying and separating internal and external activities, converting internal into external activities and lastly streamlining all changeover activities. Previously, the changeover time of the stamping machine in average is 5.19 hours. After the implementation of SMED, the changeover time of the stamping machine was reduced to 3.23 hours in average or (25.82%) reduction from previous changeover time. The improvements made are converting three of internal activities in to external activities. Those activities are collecting tools, collecting moulds and mould quick check. By converting these three activities into external, the changeover time could be reduced up to 11.18 minutes. As for simplifying, two of changeover activities were simplified which are mould alignment and pressure setting hence reducing time for 34.01 minutes and 49.56 minutes respectively. In conclusion, the collaboration is shown to be feasible in supporting SMED implementation in the textile manufacturing company

LANDSLIDE RISK ZONING THROUGH REMOTE REMOTE SENSING AND GIS

The purpose of this study is to classifY relevant information from satellite image to be used in landslide risk zoning. The information needed consists of the types of land use at the study area such as arable land, dense forest, rocky area, agriculture, mixed cultivated and grassland. All the relevant information that are contributing to the landslide was extracted from the satellite image using the MultiSpec W32 software. The study area took placed at a certain area of Cameron Highlands which was located in Pahang, Malaysia. The types of land use extracted from the satellite image using image processing software and the steepness of the slopes determined using Arc view GIS 3.3 software later on were grouped base on the possibility for landslide to occur. The outcome ofthis study is expected to be able to assist the users to identifY the area which are prone to landslide just by looking atthe satellite image and land use

STUDY OF THERMALLY DRIVEN SORPTION CHILLER

In this study, the dynamic behaviour of a 4 bed adsorption chiller was analysed employing silica gel as the adsorbent and water as the refrigerant. The simulated results in terms of heat transfer fluid temperatures cycle average cooling capacity and coefficient of performance (COP) were obtained numerically. With 47 kg of silica gel, the system is able to produce 14 kW of cooling power and 0.46 of COP at driving heat source temperature of 85ºC which can be obtained from waste heat or solar energy. In particular, it can be powered by the waste heat from the internal combustion engine and therefore is suitable for automobile air-conditioning applications. Water is used as refrigerant as it has no harm to environment, it is a non-toxic substance, moreover, ethanol has comparatively higher vapour pressure even at low temperature. This innovative system utilizes effectively low-temperature waste heat sources of temperature between 60 and 95ºC along with a coolant at 30ºC

Study on Minimum Ignition Energy of Dust Fire/Explosion

Dust explosion is one of the most massive disasters in the process industries. When the company process plant involve with dust it is difficult to handle as the dust is very fine particle and hard to contain. In this project, it refer to incident happened in Imperial Sugar Refineries, where dust explosion had happened in 2008. In conjunction with dust explosion incident, this project will study on the minimum ignition energy for dust fire and explosion. Mainly, the study will be focusing on the food dust samlples. The study will be done by conducting several experiments on the factors which can initiate the dust fire and explosion. The factors will be studies in this project are the size of the dust and type of the dust. The dusts used in this study are from the food processing industries which is flour and sugar. At the end of study, the minimum ignition energy from each type of dust sample will be determined

Enhancement Quality Of Service At ADTECBP LAN Using Traffic Policing

Mainly, an Internet service provider (ISP) provides best-effort service to all customers that subscribe to it and Quality of Service (QoS) is only given by provider if it being request. While traffic become congested, initial setting of configuration doesn’t resolve this issue. Current trending on network nowadays with convergence of data, voice and video it is important for network to administrator to classify the traffic by using QoS mechanism. In applying differentiated QoS, router will classify and remarked the traffic to utilize the network. Regarding the Service Level Agreement (SLA), classification the traffic will make router to use more resources. Outcome from the result is very important by implementing these methods by using for network system administration, network engineer and others. In order study effectiveness by applying QoS on network, appropriate methodology need to be applied. Objective for this setup is to categorize network performance metrics such as throughput, jitter and packet loss based on multiple traffic accessing the router. Remarking and classify traffic will make router will do more work. Certain devices, performance become dropped when enabling this method. Another method is by make combination of classification, remarking and apply traffic policing. This method will deteriorate throughput at the egress router. Other than that, jitter and packet loss also will be increased by implementing traffic policing. Jitter, throughput and packet loss will be measured by using network performance tools such as IPERF. Regarding from previous review of literature, ISP or network provider need to concern about their SLA and providing service of network to avoid issue that will be discussed on thesis
