Abstract

This study investigates the viability of employing a cabinet-type dryer with a heat energy source derived from biomass combustion to dry Eucheuma sp. using Newton's model. In this investigation, seaweed was dried with air at a temperature of 55 °C. A reduction in water content of 8.1% was attained after six hours of drying. To make the data fit the suggested drying mathematical model, the data were examined and recorded. The model feasibility test shows that, with a coefficient of determination (R2) that is close to one and corrected at 0.9502, the Newton model can be used to predict the moisture content of dried seaweed after the drying process using a cabinet-type dryer with a source of heat energy from biomass combustion.

Abstract

Abstract”” The biogas desulphurization process has a crucial role in the widespread use of biogas due to the toxic and corrosive nature of the element hydrogen sulfide on equipment. This study investigated the potential use of waste welding electrodes as a biogas purification medium. Variables in the form of feed biogas flow rates of 1, 2, and 3 liters/minute were studied for their effects. As a result, the most optimum performance was obtained in the test with a feed biogas flow rate of 1 liter/minute, with an average reduction percentage of hydrogen sulfide content in the biogas of 27.12%.

Abstract

This research aims to design a simple Shell and Tube (one pass) heat exchanger for applications in recovering wasted heat from air conditioning systems in the hospitality industry. The Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association (TEMA) standard is used as a reference in the design of heat exchangers in order to obtain the dimensional specifications of the device. In addition, mathematical calculations based on the technical properties of the working fluid are carried out with the help of the Microsoft Excel application to obtain values from other parameters in the design. The results showed that the designed heat exchanger met the standards in terms of device effectiveness. The heat exchanger has 152 tubes with an effective value of more than 90% with an impurity factor of 0.014. A high tool effectiveness value indicates a good heat exchanger performance. The results of this planning and design are expected to be a reference in designing an effective heat exchanger with high reliability.

Abstract

Electricity has become one of the most crucial components of life. The steam power plant (PLTU) is the most significant contributor to the power supply process in Indonesia, with an installed capacity of 29.57%. A review of each component is required to support the sustainability of the production process at PLTU. This research discusses the heat exchanger's components in the refrigeration system at PT. XYZ. The cooling system in PLTU plays a vital role in preventing overheating of the power plant components, which can cause an interruption of the energy generation process. Following this, research was carried out on the influence of load changes on the efficiency of heat exchangers in PT. XYZ cooling systems using observation methods, interviews, and literature studies. Such methods produced data that could be used to calculate the efficiency value. From the results of the investigation, it was concluded that the performance of the PT. XYZ heat exchanger was at its best at maximum load with an efficiency presentation of 68.29% and at its lowest at minimum load with an effectiveness presentation of 59.95%. However, the value was still below the standard value of efficiency of the heat exchangers, which is 75%, so it required more intensive treatment to improve its efficiency value.

Abstract

Penerapan Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Surya (PLTS) membutuhkan lahan/daratan yang memiliki nilai ekonomis, padahal Indonesia merupakan negara tropis yang memiliki potensi energi surya dan negara kepulauan dengan luas sebesar 2/3 berupa perairan dan danau di daratan yang bisa dimanfaatkan untuk pembangkit energi surya. Pemanfaatan PLTS terapung tidak memerlukan lahan/daratan, dapat mengurangi evaporasi, serta sebagai media pendingin modul PV untuk meningkatkan efisiensi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah merancang sistem PLTS pada kolam budidaya dengan memanfaatkan sumber energi surya. Penelitian dimulai dengan mengukur potensi energi matahari selanjutnya perancangan dan pemilihan komponen yang memiliki kapasitas sesuai. Setelah melakukan beberapa pengamatan di daerah tersebut, PLTS yang cocok digunakan untuk menghidupkan aerator adalah PLTS off grid. PLTS 200 Wp mampu untuk menghidupkan aerator 120 W selama 12 jam pada siang hari dan aerator 100 W selama 8 jam pada malam hari. Pada kondisi pengosongan baterai, tegangan output panel rata-rata sebesar 12,89 V dan arus rata-rata sebesar 6,2 A dan pada kondisi pengisian baterai, tegangan output panel rata-rata sebesar 12,39 V dan arus rata-rata sebesar 6,6 A. Efisiensi sistem tertinggi pada kondisi pengosongan baterai sebesar 99%. Hal ini dikarenakan pada sore hari radiasi matahari rendah sehingga arus yang dihasilkan panel surya rendah dan mendapatkan supply dari baterai.

Abstract

This study aims to design and build a cabinet-type breadfruit chips dryer powered by liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and to assess the dryer's characteristics, particularly by observing the temperature and relative humidity (RH) variables in the drying chamber. This characteristic data is critical for forecasting the dryer's ability during drying. The experimental approach was carried out in three stages: design, assembly, and testing without a drying load under two process conditions, charging and discharging. The testing time is 150 minutes, with the charging procedure taking 70 minutes and the discharging process taking 80 minutes. In general, the distribution of temperature and RH on each shelf in the drying chamber is consistent, both during the charging and discharging processes. In the charging-discharging process, the average temperature of the drying room is 45.39 C with a RH of 40.99%, while the plenum room average temperature is 77.02 C.

Abstract

Cabinet-type dryers powered by Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) are widely recognized as an efficient drying solution, particularly for small and medium-sized industries. However, the structural strength and durability aspects of these dryers often receive insufficient attention, although they operate under a combination of static and thermal loads that may potentially trigger structural failure. This study aims to evaluate the structural strength of a cabinet-type LPG dryer using the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method by considering variations in operating temperature and constant mechanical loading. Simulations were conducted within an operating temperature range of 48.049°C to 75.767°C under a constant load of 40 kg. The key parameters analyzed include total deformation, stress distribution, and structural safety factor. The results revealed a maximum deformation of 1.094 mm and a peak stress of 1030.7 MPa concentrated in the plenum chamber area, identified as a critical zone due to the combined effects of thermal and mechanical loading. The maximum safety factor reached 15, while the minimum value of 0.24255 indicates the need for localized design improvements in certain regions. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of FEA in predicting the structural response of drying equipment and provide a scientific foundation for enhancing structural safety and reliability. Further studies are recommended to integrate coupled thermal-structural analysis and experimental validation to improve the accuracy of the results. Keywords: cabinet dryer; finite element analysis (FEA); safety factor; structural analysis; temperature distribution

Abstract

Welding process is the joining of two metals by heating. There are two types of welding that are often applied in the field, namely gas welding (OAW) and electric welding (SMAW). Both of them have their advantages as metal connectors. This research originated from a problem that occurred in the upper arm on the welding table which experienced bending as a result of carrying the load when holding the welding disc. Therefore, CAD/CAE design is carried out. In this case, the strength and tension that occur in the upper arm are analyzed. This research aims to reveal the value of the stress that occurs in the upper arm and the safety value. Where in the design the planned force capacity is 300 newtons using the finite element method or also known as Finite Element Analysis (FEA). And the material used is ASTM A36. The results of the simulation and also the analysis that has been carried out show that the upper arm frame structure on the welding table has a stress, deformation, and safety factor of 311.987 MPa, 2.28286 mm, and 0.663488 ul.
