Hey people that still takes the effort to visit my dying blog. Sorry it is unwell and has not been able to keep up with the hustle and bustle of my life.
Life is well here. Been trying to keep up with the increasing amount of assignments and workload that are pouring in.. It is going to be a very busy year I reckon.
I am officially 21 now. I had a small party with my housemates and some of my closer friends. The food was quite good but I did not agree on the pricing of the food and the small portions. Overall, I thought it was good. I did not particularly enjoyed the night since I was sitting in between medical students and they were constantly talking about medical stuff which annoys me!
It has been a few weeks since I started my third and possibly my final year at uni. Work is piling up as the subjects get harder and harder. Just last Friday, I received my final year project. It is about clean hydrogen generation from coal. Basically, its harvesting high hydrogen content from gasifying coal. But that is not all, how this is done is pretty much achieved by in situ N2 separation from the air using an oxygen transfer material, and by CO2 capture using a solid sorbent. This makes Hydrogen harventing from coal a lot cleaner and more efficient. The purpose of this project is to find the best way in form of efficiency, cost, carbon emmisions, environmental impact, public perceptions, safety, etc and from our findings report if this idea is feasable for future use.
Since it is only a few days since I got this project, I still do not totally understand what I am doing. Furthermore, this is a piece of new technology and there are limited resources out there for us to refer to. This is going to be an exciting project and if successful, I am sure it will be very useful in my CV.
The weather in Newcatle has changed from cloudy and wet to cold and sunny. Something that we do not get often. From what I know, that is the weather in Aberdeen. I have spoken to my friends in Aberdeen and they reported that the weather there is colder still so fingers cross that there will be snow this Chritsmas!!! Woo Hoo!!! :D
