The Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... is the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and the converse is true as well. It's mentioned that most of us will see the dancer turning anti-clockwise. Try focusing on it and change her direction; see if you can do it. It is turning clockwise for me and i cant make her turn the other direction. Google the use of right and left brain alright and see if it describes you..

Anyway, i have told some friends that i will tell that what i had been doing for weeks since my mid term tests.... so here it goes..It is a design project that requires the use of a software call HYSYS. Chemical enigneering students bare with me ya.. In short chemical engineers are supposely the experts in plant design, optimization, heat and mass transfers as well as separation processes as told by our professors, but i think we are kinda lousy in those aspects hahaa.. below are some screen shots, it simulates a Liquidified Natural Gas plant.

First: Removal of carbon dioxide and H2S (after which......)

Propane Pre Cooling Cycle (loops and loops and more loops and lastly a distillation column)
After much optimization, we are finally writing our report, which is another headache...my uncle once told me that you know u r an engineer when u tell ppl about what you do and they goes huh.. i am huh-ing myself as to why i am doing all these.. hahaa..

Oh well i bored u din i... there is a saying by Winston Churchill that goes something like this. "The report by its very length defends itself from being read." i hope i have defended myself from the numerous critics outta that would spam my msn if i do a poor job here... or maybe it is simply not long enough..... hmm..
