“…Ahmed and Abubakar [10] investigate the crude oil distillation unit II of Kaduna refining and petrochemical company KRPC as a case study built in Aspen HYSYS. Jaja et al [11] use the information from the Port Harcourt Refining Company to optimize the simulated model of the crude distillation unit .As we can see from the previous work, Aspen HYSYS has the majority of the researchers work on the simulation and analysis of crude oil distillation unit.…”

In this research work, the main distillation column of Salahadin 1 refinery in Baiji Refineries is simulated and analyzed using Aspen HYSYS. Kirkuk, Basrah and Ajeel crudes are mixed together (with unknown mixing ratio) to create the feed stream of this unit. The determination of the blending ratio of these streams beside performance analysis of the system using actual plant data to increase the operating capacity are the main objectives of this research work. So, this work is very helpful to the refinery because it can be applicable to manage these blending ratios to obtain desired product quality. Also, this work enables the CDU unit at the refinery to work at full capacity. The validation results show that the system is perfectly simulated with Aspen HYSYS and the mixing ratio of (Ajeel, Basrah, and Kirkuk) crudes are (0.102,0.5, and 0.398) respectively; Furthermore, this study suggested that, it is important to replace the transfer line pipe diameter between the furnace and the distillation column according to the design specifications which enables the operators to rise the feed volumetric flowrate into full capacity.

“…The concept of the General Will, no doubt, occupies the center stage and constitutes the crux or main thrust of Rousseau's moral and political philosophy. Thus, his notion of the General Will as an ethical and political theory is essentially couched in and hinged on the background or foundation of the social contract theory, which Nathan Jaja (2007) aptly describes as "a political doctrine of the modern age" (p. 78). The social contract perceives civil society as a product of a contract or an agreement.…”

Complexities in the Determination of the General Will: A Critical Appraisal of Jean-Jacques Rousseau

The General Will is one of Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s original contributions to the district of political philosophy. The intellectual burden and herculean task of this inquiry consist of reconciling the General Will with the sanctity of individual freedom, which Rousseau also purports to protect. Through the method of philosophical and textual analysis, this paper examines the inherent absurdities, complexities, and obscurities associated with the determination and realisation of the General Will, which lie at the heart of, and are the nucleus of, the political philosophy of Rousseau. It further x-rays the acclaimed infallibility and veracity of this political theory vis-à-vis its claim as a moral norm—an authentic will that is ultimately right in its normative credentials. It adopts a qualitative research method, in which case, it is basically descriptive and highly analytical. It is significant as it provides a blueprint and a veritable guide for policymakers at all governance or social engineering levels. In conclusion, a case is made that, notwithstanding its manifold discontents and gross inadequacies, it is indeed a standard for enhancing distributive justice and the common good. It recommends that the doctrine of the General Will be made a guiding ideology and national philosophy and be incorporated into the federal character principle to address the lingering and looming challenges of Nigerian federalism against the backdrop of its fragile state structure. It also suggests that it be used as a criterion for establishing or gauging essential aims and guiding principles of state policy in the Nigerian political system.
