Abstract

The escalating accumulation of plastic waste demands not only scalable but integrative conversion solutions. Among thermochemical routes, catalytic pyrolysis has emerged as a promising pathway to produce gasoline-range hydrocarbons from plastic polymers compatible with spark-ignition engines. This review critically evaluates recent advancements in pyrolysis of key plastics polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with a focus on fuel yield, hydrocarbon distribution, and engine-level performance. Comparative analysis reveals PP as the most viable feedstock, achieving up to 85% liquid yield and producing oil with high Research Octane Numbers (RON 85–95), outperforming PE and PS in combustion efficiency and emission compliance. However, persistent challenges such as fuel instability, catalyst deactivation, and elevated aromatic emissions particularly from PS complicate real-world deployment. The review further dissects the interplay between catalyst type, reactor design, and post-treatment, highlighting how these variables modulate product quality and engine operability. Notably, 10–20% PP/PE-derived pyrolysis gasoline blends demonstrate near-parity with conventional gasoline in Brake Thermal Efficiency and regulated emissions, without requiring engine modifications. This work bridges molecular-level reaction chemistry with combustion diagnostics and policy-aligned emission metrics, offering a rare multiscale synthesis. By articulating process-emission-performance trade-offs, it provides a strategic reference for researchers and practitioners aiming to scale waste-to-fuel systems within circular economy frameworks.

Abstract

This community service program aims to improve the technical skills and job readiness of inmates at Class IIA Labuhan Ruku Prison through basic welding training. The training method applied a combination of hands-on practice, lectures, and intensive mentoring, involving 20 participants, most of whom had no prior welding experience. The results indicated a significant improvement in participants’ technical skills, motivation, and self-confidence, with 90% of them successfully performing basic welding independently. Participants’ satisfaction with the program was also high, with an average score of 4.5 out of 5. The limitation of this program lies in its short duration and the absence of official certification as a formal recognition of participants’ skills. The absence of formal certification limits participants’ access to directly enter the industrial labor market, thus the outcomes of the training are more optimally directed toward strengthening economic independence through small welding workshops or ent

Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate the performance of a horizontal shaft wind turbine model with variations in blade shapes. The focus of the research lies in examining the impact of different blade shapes, specifically the curved shape, inverted linear taper, and rectangular shape measuring 8 cm x 20 cm at a 200 tilt angle. The experiments are conducted at various wind speeds: 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 m/s. The findings reveal that changes in blade shape significantly influence the operation of the horizontal shaft wind turbine. The Brake Horse Power (BHP) reaches its maximum with a rectangular blade shape, achieving 1.1 watts at a wind speed of 11 m/s and a corresponding torque of 0.0221 Nm. Additionally, the highest efficiency is attained with the rectangular blade shape at a wind speed of 7 m/s, reaching 21%.
