Abstract

Indonesia's social and political landscape necessitates a balanced distribution of development and a restructuring of its population and industries. In response, the government has relocated the capital from Jakarta to Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN) in East Kalimantan, aiming to alleviate the pressures on the central city. Given the region's abundant solar energy resources, this paper explores the potential for investing in solar energy systems within government buildings to align with the innovative city initiative. The study employs the Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewables (HOMER) to evaluate the feasibility of the government's solar energy plan. This simulation tool analyzes investment costs, energy generation potential, and economic viability. The HOMER configuration includes solar panels, batteries, and an inverter integrated with the on-grid electrical system, tailored to meet government building requirements. Simulation results indicate that the proposed model can generate approximately 828,980 kWh annually, with a total energy consumption of around 643,257 kWh. The estimated investment cost is IDR 20,581,290,000, with a production cost of IDR 1,407.11 per kWh and a net payback period of about seven years. This analysis suggests that solar energy systems are well-positioned to thrive in IKN's emerging business environment.

Abstract

Several methods to enhance heat transfer can be classified into three categories: active, passive, or hybrid. Among these methods, Vortex Generators (VGs) are one passive heat transfer enhancement device widely used in heat exchangers. This study aims to explore the geometric shapes of VGs equipped with longitudinal holes and examine their influence on the outlet temperature of the fluid. For the analysis in this research, a three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation using ANSYS Fluent software was employed. The increased heat transfer and flow resistance in the VG geometry were evaluated based on previous research for validation. The study results demonstrate that the simulation produces fluid outlet temperature values and velocity contours that closely resemble the results obtained from the reference study. The validation error of this research was found to be only 0.02%, indicating high quality and accurate simulation results. Furthermore, the study compared various geometries of the VG holes in the system. Among these geometries, hexagonal-shaped VG holes exhibited high-velocity contours on the VG side while achieving the lowest fluid outlet temperature at approximately 303.53 K. The findings of this study serve as a basis for further developments in enhancing the efficiency and performance of heat exchangers using VGs.
