Abstract

The global demand for fuel oil continues to rise, while petroleum reserves are steadily declining. As a response to this challenge, new and renewable energy sources (EBT) offer viable alternatives, minimizing environmental impact while ensuring long-term energy sustainability. Among these alternatives, bio-oil and biochar emerge as promising renewable energy sources. This study aims to analyze the thermal characteristics of bio-oil and biochar produced through pyrolysis using red calliandra wood as a feedstock. The pyrolysis process was conducted at varying temperatures of 300 °C, 400 °C, and 500 °C for 60 minutes. Results indicate that the optimal pyrolysis temperature is 500 °C, yielding biochar with the highest calorific value of 7,145 cal/g and bio-oil with a calorific value of 3,276 cal/g. Thermal analysis reveals significant activity at 283 °C, indicating the thermal decomposition of red calliandra biomass. Higher pyrolysis temperatures enhance biochar quality by reducing moisture and ash content while increasing fixed carbon concentration. The findings underscore the potential of red Calliandra wood as a renewable energy feedstock. This research contributes to the advancement of biomass-based energy technologies and presents opportunities for further optimization of the pyrolysis process. Given Indonesia’s abundant biomass resources, biochar offers a promising pathway for sustainable energy development.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of using standard coils, racing coils, and racing coils with the addition of grounding cables on the performance of the Scorpio z 225 engine. Variations in the type of ignition coil with the addition of grounding cables are used to evaluate their impact on engine performance such as torque, power, fuel consumption, AFR, volumetric efficiency, thermal efficiency and ignition mass resistance. The results of the experimental test showed that the use of a racing ignition coil with the addition of a grounding cable obtained the highest torque and power at 8000 rpm, which were 19.21 Nm and 16.05 kW, respectively. Fuel consumption is also more efficient due to the use of a racing ignition coil with the addition of a grounding cable because combustion becomes more perfect. The use of a racing ignition coil and grounding cable can also provide better AFR than a standard ignition coil. The use of a racing ignition with the addition of a grounding cable provides the highest values ​​for volumetric efficiency and thermal efficiency at 8000 rpm of 62.8% and 42.99%. The lowest ignition mass resistance is also obtained from the use of a grounding cable with a value of 7.6 ohms at 8000 rpm.

Abstract

Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth) is a fast-growing aquatic plant in tropical regions like Indonesia. Though often considered a weed, it remains underutilized as an alternative energy source. This study explores its potential as a solid fuel in the form of eco-friendly bio-briquettes. The production process includes drying, carbonization, sieving, mixing with binder, molding, and final drying. Laboratory tests involved proximate analysis and calorific value measurement. Results showed that the briquettes contained 9.61% moisture, 3.93% ash, 7.89% volatile matter, 78.57% fixed carbon, and a calorific value of 25.8 kJ/g. Compared to coconut shell briquettes, water hyacinth briquettes burn more slowly but offer cleaner and more stable combustion. These characteristics make them a suitable renewable energy source for households and small industries.

Abstract

Technology development aims to simplify work and improve equipment efficiency, including modifying the dry leaf chopper to optimize chopping results. This modification focuses on variations in the angle and thickness of the blade to obtain finer shreds that meet the needs. This study aims to determine the most effective cutting angle and blade thickness in producing the best shreds. The research was conducted at the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory of Samudra University in August 2024. The blades used varied in cutting angles of 30°, 20°, and 10° and thicknesses of 3 mm and 5 mm. The quantitative analysis method was applied in this study using the independent sample T-test to evaluate the effectiveness of each variable. The results showed that a blade angle of 10° was the most effective angle for softening the chopped dry leaves. In addition, the most optimal blade thickness to produce fine shreds was 3 mm. This modification shows a significant improvement compared to the previous shredder, which used an angle and blade thickness with less than optimal results. With this research, it is expected that the dry leaf shredder can function more efficiently and produce shreds that meet the standards
