Abstract

The increasing proportion of elderly individuals globally underscores the need for safe and ergonomic mobility aids that support independent living and enhance quality of life. This study presents a structural analysis of a multifunctional walking cane prototype, NeoMossa, which integrates an umbrella mechanism, aimed at addressing both mobility and environmental protection needs for elderly users. The analysis employed the Finite Element Method (FEM) using SolidWorks simulation software to evaluate the mechanical performance of the cane under static loading conditions of 300 N, 500 N, and 700 N. Key parameters assessed included Von Mises stress, strain, displacement, and factor of safety. The results demonstrated that all measured values remained within acceptable limits, with the highest stress recorded at 75.98 MPa and a minimum safety factor of 1.72 under the maximum load. These findings confirm that the cane structure is capable of withstanding typical user loads without risk of mechanical failure. The study affirms the feasibility of integrating multifunctional features into assistive devices without compromising structural safety, contributing valuable insight to the design and development of innovative mobility aids for the elderly.

Abstract

Limbah cair industri kelapa sawit (palm oil mill effluent atau POME) di Indonesia menghasilkan volume yang tinggi dan berpotensi mencemari lingkungan. Mikroalga dapat dimanfaatkan untuk mengurangi limbah sekaligus menghasilkan produk biomassa yang bernilai tambah. Penelitian ini bertujuan menentukan konsentrasi optimum POME bagi pertumbuhan mikroalga Galdieria sulphuraria 009, mengevaluasi produksi fikosianin, serta menilai aktivitas antioksidannya. Penelitian ini diawali dengan penapisan awal menggunakan 5–50% POME untuk mengidentifikasi kondisi pertumbuhan mikroalga yang optimum; budi daya dalam bioreaktor dengan variasi konsentrasi (2,5; 5,0; dan 7,5%) untuk mengevaluasi kinerja pertumbuhan; dan analisis aktivitas antioksidan serta kandungan pigmen dalam biomassa. Penapisan awal menunjukkan bahwa POME 5% merupakan konsentrasi optimal, sedangkan konsentrasi lebih tinggi menghambat pertumbuhan akibat berkurangnya penetrasi cahaya. Pada budidaya lanjutan, mikroalga dalam POME 2,5% menunjukkan hasil sebanding dengan kontrol (Allen pH 2), sedangkan konsentrasi lebih tinggi menghambat pertumbuhan akibat penaungan dan toksisitas amonia. Produksi fikosianin per volume kultur tertinggi diamati pada mikroalga yang dibudidayakan dalam POME 2,5%, dengan hasil yang sebanding dengan media kontrol. Uji aktivitas antioksidan mengonfirmasi bahwa semua ekstrak fikosianin memiliki aktivitas antioksidan yang signifikan, dengan aktivitas tertinggi pada POME 7,5%. Kandungan karotenoid dan klorofil a dievaluasi dalam biomassa segar dan residu setelah ekstraksi. Karotenoid lebih melimpah dalam biomassa segar, sedangkan klorofil a lebih tinggi dalam residu biomassa. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa G. sulphuraria 009 berpotensi sebagai sumber fikosianin yang layak dalam budidaya berbasis POME, serta memberikan wawasan mengenai pemanfaatan limbah industri dan pengembangan produk bioteknologi berkelanjutan.

Abstract

Since plastic and food waste are both types of non-lignocellulosic biomass, these must be handled and managed correctly to avoid pollution problems and damage to the environment. Bio-oil, made from recycled materials, including plastic and food waste, is one focus of these attempts. The co-pyrolysis method is being investigated in this study as a technique of recycling plastic waste and food waste to produce biofuels with reduced environmental impact. In terms of energy efficiency, bio-oil is unequal to other fuels like coal or natural gas because of its high acidity, high oxygen content, and low thermal stability. Therefore, a vacuum distillation process is required to improve bio-oil quality by adjusting the distillation temperature from 300 to 350 OC and the percentage of plastic waste used from 30 to 50%. The bio-oil was analyzed using a Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS). The general compound showed that acids (60%) and alcohols (20%) were the most prevalent chemical compounds, followed by phenol (4%), aldehyde (14%), aliphatic (5%), Furan (14%), and ketones (11%) at maximum temperature (350 oC) for 30-50% plastic waste. Meanwhile, the final product is affected by temperature and plastic waste (PET) ratio factors. At 350 °C and a plastic waste addition of 50%, the highest bio-oil yield is 45%.

Abstract

Constructing a small-scale hydroelectric power station that can run efficiently at a head lower than 10 m is one possible method for reducing the impact of the electricity crisis in remote areas of Indonesia. The Archimedes Screw turbine is one type of turbine that is ideal for discharges below 10 m. In this study, the simulation results show that the value of Turbulences Kinetic Energy is directly proportional to the increase in flow rate but inversely proportional to the level of immersion. This type of turbine is unless well in Indonesia due to a lack of information regarding the application of low head power plants. The turbine model that is suitable for the low head is investigated in this study. Before being tested, the turbine is first designed theoretically and then numerically evaluated. With discharges of 1 l/s, 2 l/s, and 3 l/s and turbine immersion levels of 30%, 50%, and 70%, ANSYS CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) software was used to investigate flow rate and level of immersion in the turbine. According to the investigation findings, the discharge has a considerable impact on the turbine's movement; the higher the flow rate, the higher the power to the turbine, which produces a torque on the turbine. The simulation findings indicate that the value of Turbulence Kinetic Energy is proportional to the increase in flow rate but inversely proportional to the level of immersion.
