Lexus ES350, 2012

Been using that car since 2020. The only thing I changed since I bought the car is the brake pads.

That car is super reliable. Just make sure you get an accident free ride.

Very commendable for a 500L project. Could you provide a GC analysis of the “pure” methane end user gas? To be sure your scrubbers are working well.

blackpanda:


So going by your ridiculous analogy above, which state is now the .67 Because you people like to argue as if you are not educated. Smh

The bolded is exactly my point and I am glad you could see how ridiculous it is. Therefore by implication, your argument about 24 states being the benchmark for winning elections is not only illogical but quite ridiculous as you’ve pointed out yourself

Politics / Re: Supreme Court Upheld Candidates Must Win 25% Votes In 24 States, Plus FCT by Contango(m): 5:33pm On Apr 13, 2023
blackpanda:
25% in at least 24 states including fct.

Which means fct may be part of the 24 states.

Read your constitution, what is two thirds of 36 states 24

What the Court is saying is that fct can also be counted as part of the 24 states for the purpose of fulfilling this criteria. It doesn't mean u must get 25% in fct. There's nothing special about fct in the constitution.

The Supreme Court was trying to prevent a situation where someone wins 23 states and then fct, only to be disqualified that fct is not a state. Fct is counted as a state in this case.

Bottom line: Tinubu won fair and square.
The premise of your argument is null and void. So assuming a presidential candidate wins exactly 24 states and for some reasons the FCT was among the 24; then based on the provisions of your premises, he has won two-third? If FCT is considered to be a state for the purposes of the elections, that means 37 “states” are within the sample space. But two-third of 37 is mathematically 24.67 approx. Since 24.67 does not equal 24, then a candidate with 24states in which FCT is included in it cannot be declared winner of the election!

Wrong, I watched it.

The “second shall be the first” referred to Osinbajo taking over from PMB. Watch again. That statement was followed by him saying Osinbajo will be asked to take over from President Buhari. So far, everything is intact

Health / Re: How Can I Whiten My Teeth Nairalanders,? by Contango(m): 12:02pm On Feb 23, 2023
victooman:
l notice that irrespective of how many times l brush and scrub my teeth, the yellowish stain never seize to vanish.

l don't smoke, eat too much chocolates but honestly my teeth color is damn annoying.

Please what is the natural remedy for this Nairalanders?


If your teeth is yellow and not brownish, then it means you have eroded/brushed away your enamel and now the next inner layer (dentin which is yellow) is now exposed and will continue to get more yellow as you brush away what is left of your enamel. Advice is to stop using hard/medium level tooth brushes and switch over to a soft toothbrush and get a pro-enamel toothpaste.

Career / Re: Switching From Chemistry To Chemical Engineering by Contango(m): 1:12pm On Dec 17, 2022
Lexiskillz09:
Good evening guys. I'm sorry for the long story. But it's serious Please
Please I need ur opinions on this issue bothering me. I am a Industrial chemistry graduate. I graduated last year and just completed my NYSC. I want to go for postgraduate studies but I am having difficulties in making a decision on what to do.

I'm still young though. I Will be 22 on 27th of this month.

It depends on a lot of factors to be honest but I can almost guarantee you that if your reason for switching to chemical engineering via the PGD route is to broaden your job search, then you are towing the wrong lane that could lead you to frustration.

First of all, you will need to correct the notion that there is a correlation between Chemical Engineering and Chemistry. Absolutely none! But [to be fair, it might help you in certain aspects of reaction kinetics in chemical engineering reaction engineering modules but will offer you no significant advantage over a good mathematician. Perhaps if I summarize some of the modules to be taken, it might help you in making a decision. The Eight most important building blocks of chemical engineering in my opinion are: Engineering Mathematics, Fluid Mechanics,Thermodynamics, Separation Processes, Transport Phenomena, Reaction Engineering, Plant Design and Process Control among others. But what exactly are they? Note that I didn’t mention chemistry!

1. Engineering mathematics: Most important among these are Calculus, Linear Algebra,Deterministic & numerical techniques to finding solution to equations, statistics and laplace transforms.

2. Fluid Mechanics: these includes flow of both compressible and incompressible fluids.

3. Thermodynamics: Power cycles, analysis of energy, work, chemical thermodynamics, solid understanding of all the intensive and extensive properties of substances in closed and opened systems etc.

4 &5 Reaction Kinetics/Engineering and Separation processes: fundamental to sizing reactors, separators like distillation columns, absorbers etc and for developing their material and energy balances.

6. Transport Phenomenon: Needed for the design of almost all process equipment that normally undergo at least one of the following; Heat, Mass and Momentum transfer like your refrigerators, radiators, blowers etc.

7. Plant design: includes codes, standards, principles deployed to assemble a system that transforms materials.

8. Process Control: anticipate and analyze dynamic situations that could be encountered in what ever equipment or system you’re designing based on their performance models. Most of these analysis are done in the laplace domain so your knowledge of linearization of differential equations, optimization and solving models in their respective laplace domains will be handy as it would be expected that you’ve learnt it from your mathematics modules.

Quite frankly, a one year diploma in chemical engineering will barely scratch the surface and this may put you in a serious disadvantage in the job market because only competent chemical engineers get employment these days. Your only option would likely be to apply as a lecturer (Which is not bad) in the department of chemical engineering which you could also easily do with your chemistry degree so what’s the point? If indeed you have passion for chemical engineering and your acumen for maths is above average plus you enjoy working with computers and have little flare for computer programming, you can switch to chemical engineering since you’re still young but you’re better off starting from 200L. PGD won’t help you.
