Stress Corrosion Cracking "T-Type Naphta Pump Strainer Mesh Failure Analysis"

In this post, i will review a journal from Muhammad A.Butt, Muhammad A.Virk, Arshad Chungtai, Ijaz H.Khan, Munir Ahmad. They are from Institute of Chemical Engineering and Technology, university of Punjab, New Campus Lahore, Pakistan and Technical Services Centre, Pakistan Standard and Quality Control Authority, 125 A Industrial Area, Kot Lakhpat, Lahire, Pakistan. The title is "T-Type Naphta Pump Strainer Mesh Failure Analysis".

Here it is!

Note: This post is related with one of my subject namely advanced corrosion

Stress Corrosion Cracking- T Type Naphta Pump Strainer Mesh Failure Analysis

Sunday 19 February 2012

Graduated from Metallurgy and Materials Engineering and Next Planning

My graduation was on Saturday February 18, 2012 in which exactly one month ago, on January 18, 2012 I was facing a thesis defense. I finally feel relieved because I've finally got a bachelor degree in engineering (SARJANA TEKNIK "ST").
On February 3, 2012,I officially became a master degree student because I'd got a new NPM, username for SIAK- NG and student identity card (KTM).
I've been getting estimate topic of my thesis for master degree. I will continue to consult with my supervisor to discuss further on the topic of my thesis. Should be made clear that the topic of my thesis is concerned with topic of my bachelor degree's thesis. I have the same supervisor, but the topic of my thesis for master degree, of course newer and more refined.
In addition, this semester I took four courses which are research methodolgy and computation, materials selection and design, advanced corrosion, and corrosion protection.
So keep reading this blog, and you'll get the latest information from me.

*Cheers*

Thesis for Bachelor Degree

Finally my thesis for bachelor degree has finished!!!!
A title for my thesis is Wet Mechanochemical Treatment on Coal-Based Activated Carbon for Hydrogen Storage.
Here is an abstract for my thesis:
Activated carbon from bituminous coal with submicrometer and nanometer size was developed for hydrogen storage materials. The purpose of this research is to increase the effectiveness of mechanochemical process on coal-based activated carbon sample used a planetary ball mill with ratio of carbon and KOH 1:1 and thermal activation process is not necessary. Activated carbon results from mechanochemical process will be made in the form of pellets with the addition of binder which is containing fructose, sucrose and oligo of by compacting. After mechanical milling process coal activated carbon obtained by the size of 414.7 nm which increased by 98.9%. Increasing the effectiveness of the hydrogen storage material can be seen from the increased capacity of adsorption of hydrogen at a temperature of-5 oC where there was an increase of ± 386.48 times and at a temperature of -25 oC there was an increase of ± 398.56 times compared with the untreated sample.
