Assalammualaikum to Prof. Kamarul asri and to all who read this post, this is my overall reflection journal for my quizzes, tests and the entire topic that I learnt during semester 1 2012/2013 session.
First of all, I would like to talk about my overall reflection on all of the quizzes that I have done during this semester. There are 12 quizzes that I have done in each class that I attended. From all of the quizzes, many things that I learnt that gradually improved my skills in solving various energy balance problem. Some of these quizzes also give me a tough time to solve especially quizzes in chapter 8 energy balance on non-reactive processes because I do not really study more seriously for this been chapter. Nevertheless, all of these quizzes really improve my problem solving skills especially for the test.
Next, this is my reflection journal for my tests for Principle Chemical Processes. For test 2, my result is not really satisfied me as many careless mistake been made in answering the question. In test 2, mostly it is about the energy balance on reactive process. After I answer the question, I found many mistakes that I made during the test. Firstly, there are mistake that I made regarding the process path. I do not draw the process path in order to answer the question. Thus, I have some confusion in answering the question. As a result, there are several mistake in determining the sign for overall process enthalpy. Next, I also made some mistake in interpreting data given from the questions. I was confuse in interpreting the data such as the value for enthalpy at given condition. Some of the value needs for interpolation from the reference table. For test 3, it consists of chapter from thermodynamic part that were Second Law of Thermodynamic and Entropy I obtained better grades compared to the last tests. Nonetheless, there are also mistakes that I made throughout the test. One of the mistakes is at the last question where we need to draw the T-s diagram and identified the entropy change on the system. This is where we need to interpolate the data from table, but the problem is I do not know how to interpolate it.
