Abstract

In the midst of various other energy needs, cooking has received special attention in energy consumption due to the scarcity of fuel for cooking which is currently commonly used by the community. The scarcity is directly proportional to the increase in fuel prices. Currently, many alternative energies are being developed, one of which is cooking using solar power. In this study, an experimental study of the effect of the number of plate bends on the solar cooker carried out. This study aims to determine the effect of the number of curvatures of the plate on the performance of a solar cooker. The number of curved aluminum plates in the solar cooker was expected to be able to expand the area of absorption of solar heat, thereby increasing the temperature of the air inside the solar cooker. The solar cooker also adds an absorbent plate in the shape of a flower-like arc. Variations in the number of arches to be studied are 6, 8, and 12 arches. The method used in this study is an experiment in actual conditions. Research result show solar stoves with 12 curved walls have a higher temperature increase and heat absorption compared to 6 and 8 arches. This is because 12 arches have a wider solar heat absorption area.

Abstract

Most of the refrigerant used in split-type AC machines is HCFC type R-22, which can potentially damage the ozone layer and global warming. Musicool-22 is a trade name for the hydrocarbon refrigerant R-290, an alternative refrigerant that can replace R-22. Tests were carried out on the test equipment by comparing R-22 and Musicool-22 with the same variation of thermal load. Based on the test, the performance of the two working fluids can be determined by determining the coefficient of performance (COP) and comparing it with various cooling loads. In addition, it is proven that using Musicool-22 can save electrical energy and the power value of the compressor. The data measured are temperature, pressure, voltage, and electric current. Based on the results of calculations carried out by changing R-22 to Musicool-22, it shows that the COP value increases. The highest COP of R-22 is 2.45 at an 80-Watt load, and Musicool-22 is 4.21 at a 320-Watt load. The application of Musicool-22 can save electrical energy by 15.40%. Moreover, it saved electricity usage costs of IDR 44,450.53 per month.

Abstract

Enhancing the amount of flow field and heat transfer characteristic is an effective way to increase the performance of SUT plants. The velocity magnitude and heat transfer characteristic can be increased by adding passive flow control in the form of baffles. This study investigated the SUT prototype's flow field and heat transfer characteristics numerically using one, two, and three baffle variations through 2D axisymmetric analysis with the standard k-epsilon turbulence model using a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method. The results of the CFD solution obtained profiles of temperature distribution, velocity, streamline, kinetic power, and turbulent kinetic energy of each baffle variation. SUT with two-baffle variation is superior to the others by having a maximum air velocity of 6.248 m/s and increasing SUT performance by 104.769 %, while the three-baffle variation has the highest temperature profile and the most circulating flow effect with an increase in SUT performance of 51.524%. As the number of baffles in the SUT increases, the pressure drop also increases, but the effect of the pressure drop is not significant.

Abstract

The liquefaction unit is a process unit for processing the desired product from the gas phase to the liquid phase. The purpose of this unit is to facilitate the transportation process with the help of refrigerants. The disadvantage of this unit is that the heat transfer is less than optimal. In addition, this study can also maximize the storage system because it can reduce the specific volume of gas up to 1/600 times to increase energy efficiency in the LNG Plant. The potential for various options to increase the efficiency of the liquefaction cycle is tried to be calculated in this study. The calculation method between the mass balance and energy balance obtained the results of the design calculation that the type 2-4 heat exchanger, Carbon steel material, area 1023, 35m2, Rd 0.001-hour ft2 °F / Btu can be concluded that the design of the heat exchanger is safe and recommended.

Abstract

The application of Green Energy Technology through Passive Cooling System is the right solution. It aims to achieve energy savings and reduce CO2 emissions. This study focuses on the simulation of room conditions using the computational fluid method. The simulation aims to determine the effect of inlet and outlet configuration against the air condition in the room. The results presented in this simulation are the distribution of air temperature, air humidity, and air velocity. The variations used in the simulation are the air inlet and outlet positions, there are three configurations of air inlet and outlet positions. Variation 1: two inlets – one outlet, Variation 2: two inlets – two outlets, Variation 3: four inlets – three outlets. The results of the study show Variation 3 has the best design if cooling or heating equipment wants to be added, for example passive cooling in summer and a heater for cold weather. On other hand, Variation 1 is the most effective in maintaining the stability of humidity distribution and air velocity within the room. This configuration successfully creates optimal ventilation by generating efficient natural convection without significant fluctuations, achieved using two inlets and one active outlet

Abstract

Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) is natural gas that is used as a safe, clean and efficient energy source. LNG itself is liquefied and has been processed to remove impurities and heavy fraction hydrocarbons which are then condensed into liquid at atmospheric pressure with a temperature of -160 ºC. In Indonesia, LNG has good prospects for development, both in terms of raw material potential and its market. So, it is very appropriate if an LNG plant is established in Indonesia with the aim of meeting domestic LNG needs and opening up new jobs to reduce unemployment in Indonesia. LNG is made through several stages of the process, namely the Absorption, Dehydration, Fractionation and Liquefaction processes. The factory will be established in Muara Enim, Lahan Regency, South Sumatra Province. From economic calculations, it is obtained that the return on investment is 3.08 years after the factory is established. The rate of return on capital is 38.1%, and the BEP is 37.6%. Based on the economic analysis, the LNG plant from Natural Gas is feasible to be established.

Abstract

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a simulation model to provide complex processes in the industry that has been widely used to investigate industrial-scale combustion phenomena. Supplementary firing is used to increase steam production. The non-premixed combustion is a type of supplementary firing. Supplementary firing has seven burners arranged vertically. Supplementary firing uses exhaust steam from a gas turbine to ignite the air. This research investigates the combustion characteristics of flame length and exhaust gas emission at burners. The viscous model was observed by using non-premixed modeling. While the absorption of radiation in the combustion residual gas was observed by using the weight sum-gray gases model (WSGGM). This study used the realizable k-ε model and tetrahedron meshing algorithm to approach the turbulent characteristics. The total nodes and the orthogonal mesh quality in the meshing steps are 1,334,359 and 0.86, respectively. The modeling results show that burners-1 and 7 have longer flame compared to other burners. The combustion exhaust gas has height contents of CO2 and H2O. The velocity near the furnace wall is lower than the center of the furnace, but the pressure is higher. This phenomenon is dominantly influenced by the thermal boundary layer.

Abstract

The photovoltaic as a solar power plant is increasingly widespread as renewable energy. However, high photovoltaic surface temperatures can reduce performance in generating electricity. Based on these problems, a photovoltaic cooling system is needed. This research aims to produce effective photovoltaic cooling by planting pipes that carry cold fluid embedded in Phase Change Material. The experimental research used solar simulator, there are three variations of pipe configuration, including: parallel, serpentine, and circular. The photovoltaic used in this research has a specification of 50WP. This study examines the effect of various cooling pipe configurations on thermal performance, output power, and the reduction of photovoltaic temperature. The results show the serpentine pipe configuration exhibits the highest thermal efficiency initially but declines drastically over time, while the circular pipe design demonstrates the best long-term stability and efficiency. Specifically, the circular pipe variation effectively reduces the photovoltaic surface temperature, maintaining the lowest temperature of around 42°C at the 80th minute, compared to higher peak temperatures in the unmodified variation 67°C, serpentine 50°C, and parallel 45°C. Overall, the circular pipe design is identified as the most effective cooling method for maintaining low surface temperatures and ensuring stable performance in photovoltaic panels.

Abstract

Climate change causes the air conditions inside buildings to increase in temperature. This causes the demand for cooling processes to increase every year. The use of cooling equipment currently requires quite a lot of electricity costs and produces CO2 emissions. The experimental study of the effect of cooling pad surface shape on passive cooling performance to produce a cooling device that is economical and environmentally friendly. The variations of the cooling pad surface were sinusoidal wave and triangular wave. The method was experiments carried out in the laboratory to control environmental conditions. The test results showed that the sinusoidal wave variation had a temperature drop of 1.1 °C lower than the triangular wave. The sinusoidal wave variation has 5% lower relative air humidity than triangular wave variation but air humidity for both variations had increased. Meanwhile, the use of silica sand could not reduce air humidity, it was because of the sum of sand that was used.
