Abstract

Improving the quality and quantity of livestock production can be achieved by creating a comfortable and safe environment for animals. The use of closed-house pens is one of the methods employed to control temperature, humidity, airflow, and the cleanliness of the living space for animals. Close-house pens are equipped with Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC), including the combination of an Evaporative Cooling Pad (ECP) and an exhaust fan. The characteristics of the shape and material composition of the ECP components influence pressure drop and the flow pattern entering the room. This research focuses on reviewing papers related to the development of numerical simulation studies of close-house pens and ECP. The design of numerical simulations and the selection of boundary conditions enhance the precision and error level of predicting fluid flow distribution in closed-house cages. In addition to numerical simulations, the application of energy management calculations provides recommendations regarding the combination of HVAC design and environmental control parameters that need to be considered.

Abstract

The selection of materials and aerodynamic design forms needs to be considered in designing a comfortable helmet. The emergence of the drag force on the helmet causes a compressive force, which causes the rider discomfort when driving at high speeds. This research was conducted on 4 variations of helmet models consisting of 1 time-trial type helmet as a reference and 3 other helmets which were developed from the basic model. This simulation was conducted in a 2D helmet model at Re 7.14 x 104, 1.00 x 105, and 1.16 x 105. In this study, Turbulence Intensity was varied as 0.1%, 0.2%, and 1%. The results are shown through the drag coefficient's value and visualization of streamlined flow. The results showed that the 2D simulation on the helmet produced a lower error by using Set Up Turbulence Intensity 0.1%. The emergence of the Oscillating Karman vortex in large size indicates the higher the drag force that occurs on the helmet. In this study, helmet type 3, with a trailing edge and has a smooth curve, has the lowest drag force at Re 1.16 x 105 with a drag coefficient value of around 0.38.

Abstract

Vegetable oil is one of the alternative sources of raw material for fuel oil to produce biodiesel. The conversion reaction process requires the help of a catalyst to break down triglycerides into methyl esters. Therefore, this study aims to determine the performance of catalysts made from coconut shells to convert bulk oil into biodiesel. The catalyst performance is focused on biodiesel's yield parameters through the influence factor of catalyst weight, molar ratio, and %FAME. This research was conducted in three stages, namely (1) catalyst preparation, (2) application of catalyst performance through the conversion process of bulk oil into biodiesel, (3) washing of biodiesel. The first stage was catalyst preparation carried out by utilizing a coconut shell, which was first made into charcoal, then activated using H3PO4 then sulfonated with H2SO4. The second stage was the conversion process of bulk oil into biodiesel using coconut shell catalysts through a transesterification process using variations in the catalyst's weight to bulk oil (0.5; 1; 1.5; 2; and 2.5% wt/wt) and bulk oil molar:methanol ratio (1: 3; 1: 6; and 1: 9). The third stage was the process of washing biodiesel using HCl. Based on this study's results, the best catalyst weight was 2% wt/wt with a molar ratio of 1: 9 resulting in the highest yield of 89% and the FAME of 80.36%.
