2016 Chemical Engineering Professional Examination

Thread Content

First, mourn for yourself! The admission ticket number was filled in incorrectly; the numbers at the start of each of the four sessions are 1234. . . However, the second coating was applied incorrectly, so the result is clear. I also want to remind my friends to be careful during exams in the future! Secondly, the output from this task follows the style of 2014 – with various unconventional approaches and somewhat unconventional use of professional knowledge. Personally, I think what was presented this afternoon was relatively normal, but the amount of computation required was quite high. As for professional knowledge, I think there’s generally no problem as long as you’ve read the relevant books; no matter how difficult it is, it’s still possible to score 2X60. . . It’s a shame about my first afternoon. . . I’m pretty confident about almost all the multiple-choice questions. . . From the very beginning of the case exam in the morning, I could sense the examiner’s deep malice; I wondered countless times what to do, and still felt sorrowful over having filled in the wrong information on my admission ticket. . . I just couldn’t finish the first question. . . The later parts were quite average in quality; the difficulty level of the questions was high as well. I tried various approaches, and it seems that around 17 questions had answers that matched the correct options, while for the rest I could only guess at the answers. . . The afternoon felt more peaceful, and my state of mind improved as well. Anyway, the outcome is already determined; I just need to do my best. It’s the first question again; deep malice strikes once more. . . Having seen the specific heat of sodium chloride, I think I’ll first calculate using sodium chloride; if that doesn’t work, I’ll move on. The result is just skipping it. . . The rest went fairly well; aside from that annoying parallel connection of pumps and the issue related to the insulation thickness, all other questions were answered. The question on sodium chloride was also solved. In short, the afternoon was normal, and it seems I should be able to answer question 15. As soon as the exams were over on the first day and I saw that there was almost no absorption distillation, I knew things wouldn’t be easy this year. . . It seems the word “extraction” wasn’t mentioned this year. . . Let’s wait and see next year; I prepared seriously for almost a month, and that’s how it ends. . . Alas, what a pity!
