Abstract

One of the most significant current issues that endangers environment is air pollution from industrial chimney emissions. In certain condition, the mathematical models to analyze this problem is the Gaussian Plume Model (GPM), which is a model of air pollutant distribution that takes place under constant conditions and is based on the Gaussian distribution. This model was developed based on the diffusion equation to determine the pollutant concentration from a single point source located at a certain altitude and terrain. The aim of this research was to investigate Simulating the dispersion pattern of pollutant gas plume rise from the chimney to the environment using Ansys Workbench software,  analyze the shape of the plume rise dispersion pattern and investigate factors influence the plume rise in the chimney. The results showed that the plume rise dispersion pattern that occurred in this study is lofting. The higher the velocity of exhaust emissions coming out of the chimney, the higher the plume rise that occurs into the atmosphere. The factors that can affect the plume rise dispersion pattern in the chimney are the wind speed factors, the atmospheric air temperature factors, and the air stability factors.

Abstract

Polymer matrix composite (PMC) is widely applied in structural engineering mainly due to its high strength-to-weight ratio. Of many benefits, the transportation industry uses this type of material mainly due to its high strength-to-weight ratio. In many cases, this strength-to-weight ratio is higher than aluminum or steel base materials. Its manufacturing and fabrication, however, are challenging. For this reason, destructive and non-destructive tests to control product quality during the manufacturing process are worked out. The non-destructive test delivers many benefits since the finished product does not. This paper discusses the benefits of polymer matrix composite application in the structural engineering. In addition, this work also outlined the key parameters and comparison of various non-destructive tests applied for the PMC.

Abstract

During the summer season in subtropical countries and the dry season in tropical countries, air temperature is high. To adapt this condition, an air conditioning (AC) unit is used. The air conditioning use, however, increases the electrical energy consumption which contributes to the increase of indirect CO2 emissions. For many buildings, a monthly electrical energy cost from the use of AC system can contribute up to 40% of a monthly utility expenditure. It is then a great motivation to decrease electrical energy consumption of the AC unit. In this work, an adaptable preventive maintenance for an AC unit shows an acceptable level of electrical energy decrease. An experiment was performed for 2 AC types. The first one is a wall mounted unit with a cooling capacity of 9,300 BTUH.  The second unit is a split duct unit with a cooling capacity of 48,000 BTUH. The cleaning of evaporator in the wall-mounted AC unit decreased the hourly electrical energy consumption by 4.1% from 810 to 777 Watt-hour. In addition, cleaning of condenser for the similar AC unit decreased the electrical energy consumption by 6.2% from 810 to 760 Watt-hour. Meanwhile, the evaporator cleaning for a 48,000 split duct AC decreased the hourly electrical energy consumption by 2.4% from 4.64 to 4.53 kWh and cleaning of condenser decreased the energy consumption by 5.4% from 4.64 to 4.39 kWh. If this electrical energy decrease could be scaled up to the global energy consumption from the air conditioning use, this should be a significant decrease of the global energy consumption and the correlated indirect CO2 emissions from the air conditioning sector.

Abstract

Steam Power Plant generates electricity due to a device that extracts heat energy from steam and converts it into mechanical work on the rotor. Turbines operate at high pressures and temperatures which may cause potential failures in the rotor. This study aims to determine the stress distribution on the turbine rotor to predict potential failures. The turbine studied is a 15 MW steam turbine with a rotation speed of 3000 rpm, inlet steam pressure of 2 MPa, and inlet steam temperature of 471.2 OC. The study focused on the Curtis stage. Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) simulation was performed to determine the interaction between the fluid and the turbine rotor. Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) was performed to determine the temperature and pressure hitting the rotor. The temperature and pressure distribution data from the CFD simulation is transferred to the structural simulation as the load received by the rotor. In addition to fluid loads, the rotor experiences centrifugal loads due to rotation and gravity loads. The largest stress received by the turbine rotor is at the front of the rotor with a stress of 347.39 MPa.

Abstract

The modulus of elasticity or modulus of stiffness is a metric that indicates the stiffness of a mixture based on the stress and strain relationship. One very important component that influences the performance of asphalt pavement is the stiffness modulus. A lower stiffness modulus value makes it easier to experience deformation, which causes the pavement to crack easily when subjected to heavy loads. Asphalt concrete mixtures with high stiffness modulus values ​​will be stiffer and more resistant to deflection. This study is experimental with the aim of obtaining an asphalt concrete mixture that is able to withstand loads without changes. In this study, the asphalt concrete mixture was composited with coconut fibers with the aim of determining the effect of coconut fibers in increasing stress and tensile strain as well as the stiffness modulus of the mixture. This type of test is carried out using an ITS test equipment to obtain stress, strain and stiffness modulus values.

Abstract

Development of technology allows stress analysis of steam turbine rotor to be performed non-experimentally using Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) simulation. FSI modeling requires high computational power and a long time to complete. In this study, a symmetric model is used to reduce the computational time. The part size of the symmetric model is investigated for its influence on the FSI simulation results. The full, 1/5, 1/30, and 1 blade models were investigated. Fluid domain is solved by Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulation. Afterwards, pressure and temperature distributions are mapped to the structural simulation to determine the structural response in terms of stresses. The pressure distribution, temperature distribution, and stress distribution of each model were compared. The contours of pressure distribution, temperature distribution, and stress distribution have the same trend for all models. The pressure and stress value on sharp shape of the blade tip is slight difference due to insufficient number of elements.

Abstract

Global energy challenges and environmental problems encourage the search for sustainable energy solutions, with TiO₂-based solar cells that are still limited to its efficiency due to low light absorption and charge recombination. This study aims to examine the synergistic effect of curcuma and SiO₂ dye from rice husk waste in improving the energy efficiency of TiO₂ solar cells. The research methodology involves the fabrication of sensitive solar cells with different layer compositions: TiO₂ only, TiO₂ with one layer of SiO₂ (1L-SiO₂), two layers (2L-SiO₂), and three layers (3L-SiO₂). The TiO₂ photoanode is prepared using the screen printing method, followed by loading coloring through immersion in the curcuma coloring solution. The performance of solar cells is evaluated using the current voltage measurement (I-V) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to analyze efficiency, charge transportation, and recombination processes. The results show that the addition of SiO₂ increases the efficiency of solar cells, with 1L-SiO₂ producing the highest compilation of short circuit (JSC) 0.37 mA/cm², showing an increase in cargo transportation. However, 1L-SiO₂ shows a decrease in performance due to excessive thickness, which leads to an increase in charge recombination and internal resistance. Impedance analysis confirms that 1L-SiO₂ optimizes cargo transportation but also increases recombination resistance, which affects overall efficiency. Adding SiO₂ from rice husk waste increases the efficiency of TiO₂-based solar cells, with curcuma coloring increases light absorption and charge transfer. However, excessive SiO₂ layers reduce performance due to higher recombination and resistance. Further research is needed to optimize the thickness of the layer and dye stability.
