Abstract

This experimental study investigates the effect of air supply configurations on the combustion performance and thermal efficiency of wood pellet briquettes in rocket stoves for household energy use. With increasing global demand for energy and the depletion of fossil fuels, the shift to renewable biomass fuels, such as wood pellets, is essential to reduce carbon emissions and enhance energy efficiency. The study evaluates four airflow configurations: right fan only (F3), lower-left + right fans (F2+F3), two left fans (F1+F2), and all fans (F1+F2+F3). The results show that the F3 configuration achieved the fastest boiling time, highest boiling temperature, and lowest heat-loss temperature, indicating superior thermal performance. In contrast, configurations with higher airflow (F1+F2 and all fans) led to greater heat losses and slower boiling times, suggesting that excessive airflow can negatively affect efficiency. Additionally, the analysis of residual mass revealed that F3 and F2+F3 configurations produced the lowest residuals, indicating more complete combustion. This study provides important insights into optimising airflow configurations to improve the efficiency of biomass stoves. The findings offer practical implications for the design and operation of sustainable cooking technologies, promoting energy efficiency and reducing reliance on fossil fuels in households, particularly in rural areas.

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of video tutorial–based learning media in improving students’ mastery of horizontal-position Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) in a technical and vocational education and training (TVET) context. The study responded to the limited evidence on position-specific digital instructional media in welding education, particularly for horizontal-position SMAW practice, which requires precise control of movement, angle, and bead formation. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was employed involving 30 Grade XI students in the Mechanical Engineering program at SMKN 1 Sumatera Barat. Data were collected using a validated 30-item performance assessment covering preparation, process, and final weld quality, and were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired-samples t-test in IBM SPSS Statistics. The results showed a substantial improvement in students’ performance after the intervention. The mean score increased from 47.57 in the pre-test to 81.70 in the post-test, with a mean gain of 34.13 points. The paired-samples t-test revealed a statistically significant difference, t(29) = 15.25, p < 0.001, and the effect size was very large (d = 2.78). These findings indicate that video tutorial–based media can serve as an effective, low-cost, and scalable instructional tool for procedural welding skills. The study contributes to digital pedagogy in TVET by highlighting the importance of pedagogical fit in technology-supported practical instruction.
