Engineering


In my current day job, I work as a Process Engineer in a Chemical Engineering Plant.

In this page I share some of the things I have worked on:
  • Pool Fire Quantitative Risk Assessment
    • I coded a VBA function that can be used to calculate Mudan-Croce (1988) View Factor for Solid Plume Fire. Code can be downloaded here. Mathematical equations for the code can be found here.
    • You can simply import the code into VBA and then use the function in Excel
  • Enhanced Continuous Tabu Search Algorithm in Excel
    • For my Chemical Engineering Dissertation, I programmed a tabu search algorithm to solve global optimization problems based on the following:
      • Chelouah and Siarry (2000)'s Enhanced Continous Tabu Search Algorithm provided the main body bulk of the algorithm
      • Teh & Rangaiah (2003) use of hyper-rectangles for neighbour generations for the tabu search
      • Deb (2000) penalty function method for handling constraints
    • The Tabu Search file can be downloaded here 
    • The very silly me forgot to make the program robust for minimization and maximization problems. As such if your global optimization problem is a maximization one, add a (-) sign to the function
    • My dissertation is here which may be helpful to understand the program

The Inclusio of the Book of Matthew

From wikipedia: "In literature, inclusio is a literary device based on a concentric principle, also known as bracketing or an envelope structure, which consists of creating a frame by placing similar material at the beginning and end of a section, although whether this material should consist of a word or a phrase, or whether greater amounts of text also qualify, and of what length the frames section should be, are matters of some debate. Inclusio is found in various sources, both antique and new." The Inclusio of the Book of Matthew is that it starts and ends with "Immanuel". At the start, after the genealogies we are told that Jesus fulfills the prophecy of Isaiah (Matt 1:22-23). "All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,     and they shall call his name Immanuel” It then ends with "Immanuel" being fulfilled in the act of discipling. "G...

The Holy Spirit brings to remembrance all that Jesus said

 “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” (Jn. 14:26) John’s gospel is in fact a demonstration of the Holy Spirit working in him as he writes this gospel:
