WHEN INVISIBLE CONCRETE
PROTECTION EXTENDS THE SERVICE
LIFE TO MORE THAN 120 YEARS
Sika technologies have been used in the construction of many of the world’s
tallest buildings, longest tunnels and most spectacular bridges. This also includes
the second Penang bridge; the longest bridge in Southeast Asia.
Sikagard®-705 L is a hydrophobic impregnation for concrete and cementitious

substrates, complying with the highest requirements of EN 1504-2. It eiciently
protects the bridge concrete against chloride penetration for many years.
Indeed, the bridge has been built to last 120 years without major maintenance
work required.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
On professional development, Brig. Gen. Dato' Abu Sufian said BPKP encourages all its personnel to further their
studies. In fact, it can also have some form of collaboration with IEM for IEM professionals to lecture at its engineering
school in Kluang on ethics and other specific topics as part of the professional development of its engineers and to
update their knowledge to enable them to become IEM members.
There are also seminars and collaborations with other agencies. A recent bilateral exercise with Australian engineers
in Johor Baru emphasised on the hands-on building of a house for Armed Forces veterans.
“We work together with the Chief Engineer of the Army to produce military personnel who are competent, versatile
and can multitask,” said Brig. Gen. Dato' Abu Sufian.
“Our vision is to have our own system to produce military proficient people. We want to attract young engineers to
join military engineering as a profession with BPKP. We also have opportunities for professional engineering technicians
or PETs.”

and the variant AUSM-
family schemes are
simple, accurate, robust and possess superior shock-capturing properties [3].
These methods do not involve sophisticated differentiations, such as Jacobian
matrix, in the evaluation of numerical luxes and so, are readily extendible to
a general equation of state, to thermal non-equilibrium lows or to turbulence
model equations [4]. Hence, all-speeds AUSM-family schemes are very
promising for the computation of luid lows at arbitrary Mach number regimes.
Figure 3 shows an example of the application of AUSM-family schemes in the
computation of low topology around a rocket.
Contrary to density-based algorithms, pressure-based algorithms were
originally proposed to solve incompressible luid low. The irst pressure-based
algorithm proposed for all-speeds luid low was based on a semi-implicit
formulation that extended from Marker-And-Cell (MAC) method to Implicit-
Continuous-Fluid-Eulerian (ICE) method for solving transient luid low problems
at all-speeds [5].
Subsequently, some all-speed pressure-based algorithms have been
developed. The feasibility of pressure-based algorithm is based on the fact that
pressure variation remains inite, spanning arbitrary Mach number regimes.
All-speeds pressure-based algorithms generally suffer from numerical
instability in the computation of compressible low due to the hyperbolic nature
of governing equations and the lack of the shock-capturing capability [6].
Recently, the pressure-based algorithm was combined with AUSM-family
schemes for luid lows computations at arbitrary Mach numbers. The AUSM-
family schemes it perfectly into the pressure-based algorithm due to the
separate treatment of convective and acoustic part (pressure) [7]. The
advantages of the hybrid combination are that the shock-capturing properties
at high-Mach number regime are greatly improved, and ad hoc modiications
are not needed at low-Mach number regimes [8]. This algorithm is successfully
extended to solve the magnetohydrodynamics at all-speeds [9], as shown in
Figure 4, and it is readily applied to various application of luid lows at arbitrary
Mach number regimes, with complex low topologies such as shock wave/
boundary layer interactions.

WORKING PRINCIPLE OF LI-ION BATTERY.

The movement of lithium ion through electrolytes between cathode and anode
and vice versa creates a potential difference which induces electrons to low
through a conducting wire that connects the cathode and anode (Figure 2).
MAJOR COMPONENT AND

FUNCTION:
Cathode electrode – lithium cobalt
oxide.
Anode electrode – carbon 6 that acts
as Li-ion collector.
Electrolyte – lithium salt which provides
medium for Li-ion to flow.
Separator – polyethylene film that
prevents direct contact between
cathode and anode.
