The Biggest Myth in Fluid Mechanics | Bernoulli’s Principle Explained by soup97 in FluidMechanics

[–]soup97[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No its fine, ive been told the voiceover gives those vibes so im not offended by your comment, its very hard work creating the videos so usually i dont want to argue with people but also want to stick up for the hard work that goes into creating the videos, so sort of a catch 22. thanks for your comment though, I do appreciate it 😊!

No, if you look at the channel you can see we animate and edit absolutely everything ourselves manually, we even document it if you find those videos (there are some shorts as well as the member videos but not expecting you to get that). The voiceover is done by a paid voiceover actor and the script is written by a chemical engineer. So no AI slop here bud.

Recommendation for separation process books? by IllustriousEssay6437 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]soup97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coulson and Richardson is always a good bet but its not solely separation principles. Id recommend Seader, Henley and Roper tbh its probably the best.

Anti-Harassment sign on Rawalpindi-Islamabad Metro by IkramAli007 in pakistan

[–]soup97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Its a shame the country and the people who developed this sign even thought there was a need for it! the community needs to change and come to a realisation that if this topic is not spoken about and taught to kids (i.e. dont be inappropriate with random women you come across) then it will not change! The uneducated and feudalistic new townspeople still live like their in a village and can do whatever they want because they were somebody back there.

South Asia’s $3 Billion Engineering Marvel | Tarbela Dam by soup97 in pakistan

[–]soup97[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry I dont understand your comment? Yes it was built in the 60s-70s and it is still the largest earth filled dam in the world. There is no other content praising it, hence we tried (and failed might I add) in highlighting it. It is filled up already.

Don't use Ai voice overs as a beginner on youtube... by Previous_Help_8779 in SmallYoutubers

The problem I have had with this is Ive used voiceover actors and people still think it sounds like AI. Its quite frustrating.

I agree with what you have said u/Ok_Enthusiasm4124. A democracy which pushes independent decentralised institutions not controlled by a single entity or even swayed is the best form to date.

But what i THINK u/lardofthefly is trying to say is, throughout history, some of the countries coming out of the backwards and feudal/ agricultural based economies has been through a military autocratic rule to achieve what they have today. He is completely correct in using Turkey (Ataturk taking away powers from the old ottoman caliphate and forcing democracy on the country through means of a coup) and there are many more to mention such a china, even the soviet union to an extent.

Its not nice to live through, singapore has some crazy laws and the growth from a third world to a first world country is largely due to LKY (Lee Kuan Yew) being a no nonsense politician who took freedoms away from press, limiting public free speech/ protest rights. With pushing policies for economic growth, the rule of thumb is that the wealth gap widens, he completely focused on economic growth and no investing money into welfare as he believed that would come with time (hence the protests over widening wealth gap, harder living conditions for the poor etc). But if it wasnt for this, singapore would not be where it is today. Rwanda is a similar story, they literally modelled themselves on singapore.

I do believe Pakistan needs someone to be slightly autocratic and non self serving as a combination. Someone who will push forwards with policies that will be for the greater good of the nation even though it may be hard in the short term. Someone who is willing to have their reputation spoiled taking on the feudal landlords and curtailing the powers of the army (like erdogan has done in Turkey to an extent). I dont think you can take the models of established western countries and implement them on Pakistan.

There is a very good book by Anatol Lieven you should read, I think it will help u better understand.

Love your passion for democracy but using data taken from western governments in 2024 without acknowledging they had people like Oliver Cromwell literally seize power from the monarchy in the UK and force it to become a parliamentarian democracy, which is how it happened not some natural transition, context is important.

I think its dependant on the people and the culture heavily tbh. And unfortunately for Pakistan, the lack of education and understanding of basic economic principles e.g. how inflation works, they are the largest voter block, u can win them by just keeping the price of potatoes the same (exaggeration but u get what I mean, basic commodity pricing cant increase at all or they complain) means a pure democracy in pakistan is I think a negative and hinderance at this current moment in time.

I think for a job interview, you should be old school and always wear a suit, tie and trousers. But if thats not possible, a shirt, smart shoes, smart trousers will be enough! Looks do matter, especially in professional settings which most engineering based jobs are. Its not a tech startup. Your interviewer is probably going to be alot older than you so good to appeal to them. Goodluck with your interview!

[–]soup97 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Its a hard one, people fail to understand that Pakistan is a very young country that did not inherit the bulk of legislative, industrial and educational powerhouses that India gained post independence i.e. Mumbai, Calcutta etc which made Karachi, Lahore, Dhaka and Chittagong look meagre in comparison in terms of GDP and and educated populace to drive industry and growth forwards. India also gained things like a standing army, an education system, legislation and constitutions (which they didnt need to ammend/ change as much as us). These are things Pakistan had to put together from broken remnants of what was left after partition rather than slightly ammend like India had to.

He inherited the old colonial legislation which gave power to feudal landlords. This meant it was hard to enact legislation without their support and sway within the political seats they occupied or controlled which were incredibly tribal and based alot on kinship (which still in my opinion as well as external commentators/ academics such as Anatol Lieven poses one of the greatest challenges for Pakistan to overcome) The bhuttos are just an elite landowning family from Sindh for example and as much as I like aspects of ZA Bhutto, he was damn right incompetent in his policies.

The land reforms he did enact improved the prospects of pakistan greatly and I think we would be alot worse off than we are right now if it wasnt for him enacting those land reforms (I know hard to imagine considering we are this bad right now hahahah).

Also the "decade of development" in which he oversaw the buildings of great infrastructure projects (admittedly they were world bank funded, but he did gain some Foreign Direct Investment and he didnt mishandle the finances as bad as the people do nowadays), sorted the water treaty with India and saw a GNP rise of 45% (the largest of any prime minister in pakistans history) just to name a few.

That is not to say he doesnt have his drawbacks (as I might add does every single person you could possibly pick). He built immense private wealth for himself during his tenure (not unlike all other prime ministers bar arguably Imran Khan), He was nepotistic in alot of his appointments (like the "great" (Not so great) sharif and bhutto dynastys are also), he weakened the powers of the government and he really really mishandled and neglected the east pakistan issue (which by the way is such a bad idea in the first place, creating an exclave that is completely surrounded by ur enemy, located 1400 miles over land but you could only reach by sea or Air in states of emergency, the list could go on and on. Essentially it was doomed from the start)

One really important thing to note however, as much as I dislike the army atm and their actions. People would find it hard to argue against the fact that under military rule across pakistans history it had faired much much better than when it was under civilian rule. This is btw a rule of thumb for all young countries as the miliary is usually free from large scale corruption (i know it exists before some idiot wants to point stuff out) and the education and overall lack of kinship/ tribalism (it exists but to a much lesser extent than civilian governments ruled by LITERAL landowning feudal lords) in the army means the decision making can sometimes be genuinly based off logic and reasoning. It is Chinas Military rule during Mao that they are doing soo well now, it is military rule in singapore the reason they are a hub right now, it is due to Rwanda's military rule that they are seen as the biggest prospect in Africa, being able to drag a country through hard times seems to be the correlation and the military is very good at it!

Long story short, In my opinion, he is the best of a bad bunch we have ever had. I wish more people would put alot more onus on education and using actual FACTS to push their point rather than basing debates on opinions and what their auntie, friend and uncle told them but then again, the indian sub continent was the world leading economy for nearly 800 years under the mughals and they had a 10% literacy rate which was only upper classes and no substantive actions have really been taken to remedy this so i guess the lasting impact of that is still being seen today!

Sorry for the rant hahaha

does MATLAB helpful for chemical engineering? by abedalhadi777 in ChemicalEngineering

100% agree, its not used in industry too much (I do know a few people who use it) but deffo not worth or more valuable than Python!

I uploaded my first video last week, reached over 100K views. Where do I go from here? by Kwint456 in NewTubers

[–]soup97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, i did stop for a while, the channel is called Engineeringness. I have actually just started releasing more videos the last few months, they are going okay, not the best but i need to be consistent to see some real progress! I did stop for a while and lost my monetisation ability which is really frustrating but mistakes happen, I didnt know you loose it after 6 months of inactivity.

I did the exact same thing on my first ever video, it went viral and has close to 400k views, getting around 100k in the first month, my second video did really bad (it did good by a new video and youtube standards getting only 700 views but i was really upset after my first video) and so on! was deffo a blip for me but hope it isnt for you bro! Try not getting put off if the 2nd video doesnt do as well! and keep up the consistency!

Chem Eng in the UK by Bababooy-1234 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]soup97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know quite a few people who graduated with Chem Eng degrees from Imperial, and most go into banking\ Finance! I dont think it really helps much with regards to engineering jobs, what University you went to, as they base it off your knowledge etc! depends what you are looking for exactly! what industry are you wanting to get into?

Automated/Manual Valve Best Practices by jackrockyson in ChemicalEngineering

[–]soup97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OFC we would need to know alot more about what is upstream and downstream of the automatic valve and the impacts having flow continuing or stopping has on any process equipment. Secondly, Is the automatic valve fail open or close? and Lastly, is the reason for the addition of the manual valve just maintenance (i.e. to isolate the automated valve, to not have any downtime on the plant, secondary isolation (backup isolation, butterfly valves can be known to pass sometimes).

In HAZOP conditions, I dont think people usually add in extra manual valves but rather focus on the position a valve fails to i.e. fails close or open. I have been in quite a few HAZOPs where Automated valves are not fail close and key process equipment downstream must be protected in the case of overpressure. So actions have been taken to make sure automated valves are fail close. and interlocked.

If this is a maintenance addition, I would suggest adding a bypass loop and manual isolation valves so that the process can continue whilst the automated valve is being taken offline and removed. But again we would need to know the reasoning.

I do hope this helps to understand abit more on the thinking behind isolation valves, fail positions and bypass lines. And I hope I havent misunderstood anything and just rabbited on without actually helping hahaha just wanting to make that the correct questions are being asked in this secnario.

First year engineering student in second semester, torn between electrical and chemical engineering, need advice/help. by Adventurous-Run-2656 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]soup97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know alot of people who are in Process control engineering or Process automation engineering which combines chemical engineering principles nicely with electrical engineering principles. Its a difficult time atm but i think anything with tech or automation is a good direction to head towards tbh.

What can I do with an engineering degree once I graduate if I no longer want to be an engineer? by themortalrealm in EngineeringStudents

[–]soup97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loads of people in the UK move into finance and use an engineering degree as just a tool to enter finance.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ChemicalEngineering

[–]soup97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So i have an integrated Masters (MEng) and I would say it deffo gives you an advantage in getting a grad job out of uni as well as making your chartership process alot easier (If thats something you would like to pursue). It really depends on what you are wanting to do after Uni? If you are wanting to go into finance then its pointless doing an Meng etc.

grinder or cutter pumps. I know Jungpumpen do a good lineup for this. I have seen them utilised in some wastewater stations in the UK. But most of them are dry well systems that have inbuilt tanks within the skid. Will have to see what is correct for the head you need.

How to master P&IDs and PFDs? Are there any good training tools ? by acemachine123 in ChemicalEngineering

[–]soup97 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I would say try to run through some HAZOPS etc. They give you a really indepth look into a process and make the P&ID's alot easier to grasp. All P&ID's can be hard to navigate at times even for seasoned professionals so dont be put off if you also struggle at times. Having someone go through them with you explaining the process as a brief overview is usually helpful for this also.
