Abstract

The very limited availability of energy on this planet is one of the main problems that concerns almost all countries. The presence of emergency energy indicates that energy usage is very high. Therefore, encouraging the use of new and sustainable energy sources is of utmost importance. Biomass energy can be the answer to overcoming the limitations of decreasing fossil assets, especially through the production of charcoal briquettes. Biomass energy is derived from plants or easily traceable natural materials that are abundant, such as wood waste, rice husks, bagasse, and coconut shells. Coconut shells, for example, can be a primary ingredient for making charcoal briquettes, using tapioca flour or starch as an adhesive. The briquettes can be produced using pressure variations of 50 kg/cm², 60 kg/cm², and 70 kg/cm², with a drying temperature of 100°C for 3 hours. The recommended ratio for making charcoal briquettes is 3 parts coconut shell to 1 parts tapioca flour adhesive. The purpose of this study is to compare the briquettes produced with coconut shell and tapioca flour adhesive to the SNI Briquette standard No.1/6235/2000. For the conducted tests, the results were as follows: the water content was 6.06%, the ash content was 5.9695%, the carbon content was 43.5946%, and the calorific value was 34,182.6808 calories. Additionally, the substance score yield was 26.845%, and the combustion rate was 0.12179 g/minute.

Abstract

Unmitigated cow dung waste possesses the capacity to induce pollution and environmental degradation, hence potentially compromising air quality and the well-being of the neighboring population. The objective of this Community Service initiative is to enhance community understanding and promote the adoption of biogas technology as a sustainable energy alternative within livestock communities in the Sukabumi district of Lampung Province. The approach of socialization and direct instruction employed in this study involves educating farmers and local populations on the effective treatment of cow dung waste, thereby mitigating environmental degradation and harnessing waste as a valuable energy resource. Pretest and posttest questionnaires were administered to assess participants' comprehension levels and evaluate the outcomes of the socialization process. According to the responses obtained from the questionnaires completed by the participants, a significant majority (90%) acknowledged the existence of environmental consequences associated with untreated cow dung. Furthermore, an overwhelming majority (99%) expressed agreement with the idea of converting cow dung into biogas. Additionally, a substantial proportion (90%) of the participants reported an enhanced comprehension of the process involved in converting cow dung into biogas. This phenomenon demonstrates that the community's view necessitates the integration of technology in order to address their issues. Hence, the utilization of suitable technology is imperative for the community, particularly cattle farmers, to effectively manage the disposal of cow dung waste, which significantly affects the environment. The utilization of biogas technology has the potential to mitigate this impact and offer alternative energy alternatives that are more ecologically sustainable for the local community.

Abstract

Current dynamics of world energy supply have driven various innovations by the industry as well as research communities. Fossil fuels, although experiencing a declining interest due to sustainability issues, remain undeniably crucial since they are nearly irreplaceable in some sectors including electricity generation, it is necessary to continuously establish efforts to improve efficiency of those kinds of fuel. In this work, the authors evaluate the potential of locally sourced essential oils, namely citronella, as a fuel additive in a vision of raising the fuel economy of gasoline RON 90. Citronella oil was selected based on a positive hypothesis deduced from its chemical properties, as mentioned in multiple published works. Tests were made on a generator-set powered by gasoline engine using the mixture of RON 90 and citronella oil of various concentrations as the fuels. In addition, a commercial synthetic additive was also tested alongside the essential oil to provide a comparative figure. Meanwhile other investigators suggest a favorable effect of essential oils, our results show that citronella oil additions lead to higher fuel consumption at the same power level. A similar negative effect was also demonstrated by the synthetic additive. The only sector showing positive results is in terms of exhaust temperature where experiments with citronella additives create lower exhaust temperature as compared to pure gasoline and synthetic additives. However, rooms for innovation remain open by exploring other variables such as higher additive concentrations or combining different kinds of essential oils.

Abstract

Human dependence on mineral-based energy sources poses challenges related to toxicity, depletion, degradation, and environmental hazards. An appropriate replacement for mineral-based lubricants has yet to be realized; one available option for humans is alternative, renewable, environmentally friendly, and biodegradable energy sources. Lubricants play an important role in product processing, transportation, agriculture, and other key sectors in industrial development. This study was conducted to explore the potential use of palm oil as the main ingredient with the addition of rubber as an additive. The method of making the lubricant involved mixing 3%, 5%, and 7% rubber latex with sonicated palm oil using UAE. Next, wear testing was performed using a tribometer based on the ball-on-disc principle, utilizing a modified bench-top drill machine. The testing was carried out at room temperature, maintaining a constant load of 8.83 N and a rotational speed of 180 rpm for 5 minutes per sample. Microscopic analysis of the wear scars on the plate samples showed different wear patterns and characteristics for each lubricant, with measurements taken at various positions for accuracy. The results indicated that the lubricant with a 5% rubber mixture was the best, with a wear width of 535.9126 µm, compared to the commercial lubricant (SAE 15W 40) which had a wear width of 539.906 µm. This research demonstrates the potential use of a palm oil and rubber mixture as a more environmentally friendly lubricant alternative.

Abstract

Electronic components are components that require an optimal design in order to provide good heat release performance. The heat sink component is a relevant solution to help cool an electronic component by flowing heat energy into the environment either naturally or forcibly with the help of a fan. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of material type on heat sink temperature distribution, determine the phenomenon of velocity boundary layer and thermal boundary layer that occurs in each heat sink variation, determine the effect of design shape and pin arrangement on pressure drop, determine the best design according to the final results of the study. This research uses 6 variations of design shape, 2 variations of arrangement (inline and staggered), and 3 types of materials (Aluminum, Copper, and Iron). The method used in this research is a simulation method with three stages of process, namely, pre processing, processing, and post processing. The results showed that copper material is the best in conducting heat with a temperature drop of 98.5% from the base temperature. The inline arrangement obtained a lower pressure drop than the staggered arrangement and the best design was obtained by fillet square perforation with an inline arrangement.

Abstract

The increasing energy demand is currently being experienced by many countries, including Indonesia. Biomass holds significant potential as an alternative energy source that can replace the widely used fossil fuels. Biomass is also available in abundant quantities. One method to harness energy from biomass is through briquetting. Briquettes are solid materials that can be used as fuel for a specified period. In this research, rice husk biomass is used as the primary material for creating briquettes. Tapioca flour is used as the binder, and the briquettes are formed under a pressure of 40 kg/cm². The drying process is carried out at a temperature of 100°C for 3 hours, with variations in the percentage of the binder. The binder-to-rice husk ratios tested are 70% + 30%, 60% + 40%, and 50% + 50%. Based on the conducted tests, the most favorable variation is the briquette with a 50% + 50% adhesive-to-rice husk ratio. This variation exhibits a moisture content of 4.84%, a calorific value of 26,728.61 cal/g, an ash content of 28.78825%, a carbon content of 50.427%, a volatile matter content of 33.919%, and a combustion rate of 0.45662 g/minute.
