Abstract

This research aims to design and analyze a portable cold storage system that uses solar energy as the main power source. The research methods used include literature studies, system design, and design analysis to evaluate the performance of the cold storage being designed. The designed system has a volume of 2.93 liters with an operational temperature of -2°C, which requires a total energy requirement of 114,912 kWh per day to maintain storage temperature stability under external environmental conditions of 30°C. The solar panels used have an efficiency of 18% with a standard irradiation exposure of 1000 W/m², capable of producing 4,788 watts of power, which shows sufficient efficiency to meet the cold storage energy needs. Based on the analysis, it is estimated that 43.2 solar panels are needed to meet daily energy needs, which indicates the large scale of energy infrastructure needed to maintain cold storage operations 24 hours a day. In addition, to ensure operational continuity, especially at night or when exposure to sunlight is low, energy storage capacity in the form of batteries of 230 kWh is required so that the cold storage can function without interruption. The results of this research show that with proper planning, the use of renewable energy through solar power can be optimized to support the sustainability of cold storage operations, even in environments with significant energy availability challenges. This research makes an important contribution to the development of efficient and sustainable portable cold storage technology

Abstract

The main problem faced by local farmers and fruit vendors is the lack of efficient and energy-saving storage facilities, causing fruits to often experience quality degradation and spoilage. This study aims to design and test a prototype of solar-powered cold storage with a thermoelectric cooling system (TEC) as an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly storage solution. The prototype uses a 100-watt solar panel as the primary energy source, combined with a Peltier TEC1 module to generate cooling. The test results show that the system can lower the internal temperature to 12°C within 3 hours. The system also achieves an energy efficiency of 18.07%, which is considered sufficient for small-scale thermoelectric applications. The use of solar energy enables the system to operate independently without relying on conventional electricity, offering an energy-saving and environmentally friendly solution. This prototype is deemed suitable for application in tropical regions, such as Indonesia, which has abundant solar energy potential throughout the year. This technology is expected to be a practical solution for farmers and small-scale vendors to reduce post-harvest losses while supporting carbon emission reduction efforts in the agricultural sector.

Abstract

Cafes have become a favorite place for various groups by providing a variety of food and drinks. However, challenges such as worker fatigue and human error often interfere with service. To overcome these problems, this research developed an intelligent waiter robot named Deqorel. Deqorel is designed to improve restaurant service efficiency through trajectory sensor-based automatic navigation and optimization algorithms. Deqorel is equipped with a 15-inch interactive screen, an energy-efficient DC motor, and a lithium-ion battery that supports operations for long periods of time. The robot frame uses 304 stainless steel with stress calculations to ensure strength and safety. The results show that Deqorel is able to provide accurate, fast, and responsive service in a dynamic restaurant environment, thereby increasing customer satisfaction as well as restaurant productivity.

Abstract

Traditional learning media tends to have limitations in providing interactive experiences that can stimulate better understanding. This is supported by changes in learning styles among students, influenced by extensive exposure to computers and the internet, leading students to prefer learning with the aid of visualizations. This research designs, develops, and tests a machine learning-based visualization tool integrated with the Streamlit framework to enhance students' understanding of the mechanical properties of materials. This visualization tool consists of four main features: data analysis, correlation analysis, 3D visualization, and prediction models using machine learning. The data used for training the machine learning model includes tensile test data of low-alloy steel, comprising mechanical properties, chemical elements, and heat treatment temperatures. The research results indicate that the visualization tool can illustrate the cause-and-effect relationships of parameters influencing the changes in the mechanical properties of low-alloy steel. Each feature in this visualization tool can be utilized to support the analysis of mechanical properties and improve students' understanding of material mechanical properties. Additionally, the visualization tool is evaluated by experts, with information accuracy scoring 4 in the good category, visualization quality at 4.25 in the good category, suitability for learning at 4 in the good category, and ease of use at 4.5 in the good category. Nevertheless, further research and development are needed to test and expand the use of this visualization tool in various learning contexts and other material fields.

Abstract

Thermodynamics is often considered difficult for students to grasp because it involves abstract concepts that are challenging to visualize without visual aids or physical demonstrations. This research involves the design of a mini power plant trainer as a teaching tool to visualize basic thermodynamics concepts, such as heat transfer, conversion of heat energy into mechanical energy, phase change from steam to liquid, and thermal efficiency. The trainer is designed according to the requirements of the system provided by the thermodynamics lecturer at the State University of Padang, taking into consideration the teaching material and safety aspects. The power plant trainer consists of four main components, including a boiler with a 15-liter water capacity equipped with an automatic sensor stove that can shut off when it reaches 4 bars of pressure and restarts when it drops below 4 bars, a single propeller turbine, a 12-volt generator, and a vertical condenser with coolant flow in the same direction as the steam flow. The testing results of the trainer yielded a boiler efficiency of 46%, thermal efficiency of 21%, with the steam power generated by the boiler at approximately 1734 Watts, condenser power at 1478 Watts, cooling power to convert wet steam into liquid at 119 Watts, and turbine power at 375 Watts. The maximum electrical power reached 2.94 Watts with a voltage of 12 volts and a current of 0.21 amperes. It took 31 minutes to heat 15 liters of water in the boiler to steam with a temperature of 146°C and a pressure of 58 Psi. The trainer can be operated (can rotate the generator) for 4 minutes until the steam pressure drops to 20 Psi. Based on the testing results, the trainer can be operated smoothly and is capable of illustrating difficult thermodynamics concepts that are hard to visualize. Therefore, in an effort to enhance the quality of learning, this trainer can be used as a simulation tool for thermodynamics education.
