I don't understand those who set those renewable energy questions o. Are biofuels renewable energy ?. I didn't even read anything on bio. Biofuels are non renewable energies
Are you serious?

Biofuels are part of renewable energy. I once posted it here that they will focus on it.

yeah but they went too technical.. I rly pity those who chose renewable energy

Too technical ? Those who wrote told me they set questions on transterification, gasification, pyrolysis etc. That's just normal though it is loop sided; more of chemical than electrical or mechanical.

Re: 2017/2018 PTDF Scholarship Scheme (Overseas And Local) by akatovic1: 6:27pm On Jul 08, 2017
could anyone here who applied for energy systems engineering choose energy systems engineering, because I tried doing that and mine couldn't just open so I was adviced to choose a related course by a staff for which I opted for renewable energy, which ended up in bio-energy engineering

Yeah, then they went to names of catalyst/enzymes for the processes. But why would an examiner pick just one topic in renewable energy to set his question?
Re: 2017/2018 PTDF Scholarship Scheme (Overseas And Local) by DSSHQ: 6:27pm On Jul 08, 2017
They are. Part of biomass technology.

It is, bro. It is an old way of renewable energy generation
Re: 2017/2018 PTDF Scholarship Scheme (Overseas And Local) by DSSHQ: 6:32pm On Jul 08, 2017
I get your point but it is part of it.It is quite unfortunate they set questions from just one area. Renewable energy is so wide. I guess the examiner set the questions based on his interest/area.

but there is biofuel process engineering option there, why must they flex their muscle on renewable energy

Lol I don't know really. It depend on the bias of the examiner. I know how you feel. I wrote PTDF test for design for rotating machines in 2013. I was furious. The exam focused on welding only. That's PTDF for you. Don't lose hope though.

I actually thought a prof setting an exam of this nature will know that renewble energy is a diverse field spanning diff disciplines, and not just dig deeper into a part hereby favoring some dan others. My bad.
I read biofuels like DSSHQ advised but Im sure like hundred of others, just the basics as i wasnt expecting sophisticated qs we came across there.
The English on d oda hand were mostly GRE vocabs hence the freaking complexity�.i wont lie, it caught me unawares. I was just sitting dere n picking my favorite sounding word.

The nigerian labor market is been encroached everyday by outstanding graduates who can't land a job / good paying job after couple of years within the four walls of an institution.

I ask myself ;whats the relevance of spending so many years within the four walls of an institution ,if after the whole hassle, the outside word dosent care bout your previous hardwork and sweat.

Biofuel's r renewable sources of energy...under Biomass.
I read about Biofuel's and their conversion processes, but still the ptdf questions where too deep.
I guess the number of people who applied for renewable energy were too much and they needed to make the exams harder. It's just really sad. However the competition is per state. Making it worse.
