Note:
✓ More on ABE related laws ang lumabas sa exam, take time to read the passages/questions kasi may mga
items na malalaman na agad yung sagot just by using context clues.
✓ More or less 15 items lang ang computation part, and most of these items are basic computation lang such
as:
o Piston displacement
o Theoretical and actual water power (maraming given at naka-table pero water power lang talaga siya.
Use the formula HP= QH/273)
o Fuel consumption
o SWEff/10
o Others can be solved using unit/dimensional analysis

AREA 2
• Most abundant microorganism in soil – bacteria
• Major component of cell wall in plants – cellulose

head of 1.51 and 1.38 meters, respectively (appeared twice)

Engr. AE
 • 1250 cu.m (100250 yung given sa board exam pero dapat gawing 1250) of water was delivered to a 10
ha farm for the month of June in which the consumptive use is estimated at 8 mm/day. The effective
rainfall for the period was 150 mm. What is the irrigation frequency? (72%)
• Basic coputations using: Q=CIA, Qt=Ad, HP=QH/273
• Integrate: sin^6 x dx given ang upper and lower limits

Note:
• Mostly computation ang area 2, and nasunod talaga ang TOS.
• Most, if not all, computations in Irrig and LWCE are recycled questions. These can be found in 2020-2023
recalled questions, Area 2 high-prio reviewer from CPU, and the 2022 Tambong reviewer (specifically those
related to canal designs and computations).
• Mathematics: Population standard deviation, age problem, work problems, cosine law for oblique triangle),
problem about 2 triangles (can be solved using A=1/2bh), Strength of materials (force and defelection),
Chemistry for engineers (mole problem), Eng’g Econ (Present worth annuity).

AREA 3
• Maximum length of greenhouse – 50m
• An air chamber maintained under pressure usually connected to one or more distributing ducts in a
drying or aeration system called? – Plenum
• in food processing, what is the process of leaving of a product over an extended period of time (often
months or years) to aid in improving the flavor of the product – Aging
• Dry ice is made of what? – frozen carbon dioxide
• Number of bags for a storage dimension of 25m x 78m – 100,000 bags
• Stacking height of paddy – 6 meters (16 layers)
• Stacking density of corn – 12 bags/m3

for uniform ventilation.
• Equilibrium moisture content – 14%
• Food processing plant area rule of thumb: 1 ton of commodity = 20 m^2 per ton (Board exam question:
How many square meters do you need to process 10 tons of [commodity name]? = 200 m^2)
• CPES rating: Horizontal during construction = 60
• CPES rating: Workmanship at completion = 0.50
• Space required for Buck & Ram housing with slotted flooring – 2.5 m2
• Height of flooring for easy loading and unloading for trucks – 1m
• Stoichiometric air of rice husk
• Gutter height for multi-span greenhouse – 2.8-3.0 m

area carried on with hired services - Suburban Farmstead
• T&G cut

Engr. AE
• Angle bar cylinder

• Zone 2 – (lumabas sa board exam)

Note:

Engr. AE
• For problem solving items, more on moisture content determination, COP, and cement estimation lang. The
rest, unit analysis lang ulit, lumalabas na yung mga sagot
