Politics › Re: You Are Not An Engineer: Tinubu Aide Replies Obasanjo On Port Harcourt Refinery by 1MILLIONLiGHTS(m): 1:53pm On Sep 08, 2023 |
mrvitalis: What concerns an engineer and the viability of a refinery ?
As a mechanical engineer our job is mainly during the design and maybe construction
Unless a refinery runs into design problems a refinery can function without an engineer really but might just keep a few maintenance engineers n maybe production engineers
Technicians and technologists are enough back to the topic
This shows tinubu and his team lack basic understanding of how refineries work or eveb business/economics and I have been saying this for long (socialists)
Obj who was the chief manager of the refinery for 8 years is telling you what he saw( a management problem) and you are saying he is not an engineer... What concerns engineering and viability of a business?
No refinery in Nigeria can break even... We don't really have functional petrochemical sector to take advantage of it and make it profitable
So about 20% of crude would be wasted because you can't process them into anything via petrochemical processes...on a business with very very very slim profit margins you are losing 20% from start
And you want to sale petrol below the standard $1.2 per litre price
Nigeria would need to sale petrol for $1.8 dollars for any refinery to break even or sale them crude at a discount
Don't quote me if you don't understand economics please What concerns engineers with viability and longevity of refineries? What happened to MTTF, MTBF, Failure rates, Redundancy in systems engineering. These engineers deal with very complex systems from mission to space, satellites, aircrafts, millions of files in a computer. They are not popular doesn't mean they are not useful. Money is not everything. |

I was like your son too, when I was a little boy. Only that I wasn't the much vocal type. I took everything in the Sunday school too serious. Mean while there are other stereotypes out there .

Christianity Etc › Re: What’s The Definition Of Universe? by 1MILLIONLiGHTS(m): 10:07pm On Aug 09, 2023 |
I believe God created the universe. I theorize that the universe is vast and endless. Just like fractals, the observable universe is probably a unit of something that repeats itself over time and space. Which means there are other uncountable replicas of planet earth and other bodies scattered in the very distant part of the universe. Where the human vision cannot reach. |

Nairaland General › Re: 'X': Hadi Sirika Writes Open Letter To Elon Musk by 1MILLIONLiGHTS(m): 1:18pm On Aug 04, 2023 |
Einstein is right if the speed of light is kept constant. I.e vacuum. Kinetic energy E=PC. P=particles momentum. Momentum P= mass (M) x light velocity (C). P=MC . Substitute P for MC in the equ; E=PC. Then you'll get E= MCx C; E= MC^2. . Engr Musa is only right if the speed of light can be varied in a given medium. I.e varying wave impedance and dielectric properties. Something like that happens in Nuclear reactors(Cherenkov radiation). . IMO both of them are right. . I graduated from that department(Futminna 2015).I don't know the man. |

MrBrownJay1: whether a man has money or not is IRRELEVANT to who has control in a r/ship... African society/culture and religion is very adamant about it. if you are a man, then you are the head of the family, whether you earn more than your wife and/or you are unemployed. EXACTLY ! SHE SHOULD GO CREATE THE BILLIONAIRE HUSBAND THAT EXISTS IN HER IMAGINATION.
nobody, and i repeat, NOBODY should ever date/marry a woman who is A) disrespectful and or B) abusive physicaly/verbally to her man.... whether you are rich or broke. if that woman has a problem with you being the head of the family, tell her to go argue her case with Nigerian culture/society/religion.
you look for women who are respectful, caring, understanding etc and stop dating/marrying these liability women who value men upon how much money they have. if your woman's respect for you and your family is down to how much money you can bring, then that woman is a liability and should be discarded asap! |

Industrial electronics ; control of voltages and power using TRIACs, DIACs, e t.c. applications in voltage stabilizers, phase converters, Inverters, modern and advanced electrical wiring and design for building....down to utility power supply(NEPA), solar power installation companies. Instrumentation is closely related to automation and control, where there is production and processing plants. i.e. rice, steel,cement, petroleum e t.c Think of Dangote refinery and cement, Steel companies, even electric meter manufacturing companies. You'll do alot of callibration of sensors and actuators. They are all Good options IMO. |
