Abstract

Garlic is an important commodity as a basic spice for various dishes with several health benefits such as lowering blood pressure and improving immune system. Fresh garlic has a high moisture content of 60.9-67.8%, making it highly susceptible to microbial spoilage. The drying process is a critical post-harvest step for garlic that significantly influences product quality and shelf life. This study aims to design a garlic drying system enhanced with solar collector and parafin as a thermal storage medium. Parafin provides heat during periods of low sunlight, allowing continuous drying. The methodology includes the design, construction, and testing of the drying equipment. Functional tests demonstrate effective operation of the dryer components. The results of testing the dryer for drying garlic were able to reduce the water content of garlic from 60% wb to 11.2% wb for 8 h of drying. The use of paraffin has proven to be effective in helping to maintain the drying temperature, especially when the intensity of sunlight is reduced, so that the drying process remains optimal.

Abstract

The process of physically prototyping a power generation system is time consuming and costly. Adopting the concept of Digital Twin Technology offers a solution to improve the efficiency in prototyping processes. This study aims to develop a web-based application called ThePOCI for thermal analysis of steam power plant systems working with ideal Rankine cycle, and to evaluate the accuracy of the developed application. The ThePOCI thermal system application consisted of two main modules: Steam Power Plant Design and Combustion Analysis. Validation of the Combustion Analysis module revealed the largest calculation errors in the thermal-based model for variables including flue gas temperature (13.08%), temperature of boiler exit working fluid (16.93%), and turbine power (10.49%), yet all fall within the low error range. Validation of the Steam Power Plant Design module produced deviations of ideal and actual operating conditions of 2.22% and 0.88%, respectively, categorized as highly accurate. The validation results confirm that ThePOCI can accurately simulate the physical system of a steam power plant based on the ideal Rankine cycle. System emission calculations indicate potential for further research on the use of Calliandra biomass in Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC)-based steam power plants, identified as the fuel producing the lowest emissions at 3,742.20 kgCO2e/kW.
