Abstract

Manusia membutuhkan air untuk minum, makan, mandi dan sebagai penunjang kegiatan manusia dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Alat destilasi surya merupakan alat yang mampu menghasilkan air bersih melalui proses destilasi dengan menggunakan energi matahari. Salah satu cara untuk meningkatkan produktivitas alat destilasi surya yaitu dengan menambahkan PCM (Phase Change Material) sebagai penyimpan panas.Pada penelitian ini menggunakan PCM jenis Lauric Acid karena memiliki temperatur perubahan fasa yang relatif rendah (40 - 43.9 °C).   Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui pengaruh massa PCM terhadap produksi destilat dan efisiensi alat destilasi surya. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode eksperimental yaitu melakukan pengamatan untuk mengetahui sebab akibat dalam suatu proses dengan membandingkan antara pengujian alat destilasi surya dengan penambahan PCM dan NON PCM.Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa penambahan massa PCM dapat meningkatkan produksi destilat dan efisiensi alat destilasi. Pada pengujian massa 6 kg, 7 kg, 8 kg, 9 kg dan 10 kg terjadi kenaikan efisiensi rata-rata pada masing-masing pengujian sebesar 4,49 %, 6,62 %, 8,00 %, 8,38 % dan 1,38 %. Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan efisiensi dan produktivitas pada alat destilasi, penggunaan massa 9 kg dengan volume air baku 51,13 liter dapat meningkatkan unjuk kerja alat secara optimal dengan spesifikasi dan ukuran alat destilasi yang digunakan dalam penelitian.

Abstract

Clean and healthy air are major topics around the globe. It is because poor air quality hurts human health and is even responsible for the deaths of millions of people. This work develops exhaust pipes containing filters to reduce the pollutants emitted by motorcycles. There are three pollutant concentrations measured here: CO2, CO, and HC. The measurements were taken before and after the filter system so that the pollutant reduction could be calculated.  The maximum pollutant reduction of the filter system: 6.1 % of CO2, 8.0 % of CO, and 651.0 ppm of HC. The primary mechanism of this filter is the physical trapping of pollutants. When the gas flows through the exhaust pipe, the pollutants in the stream are attached to the filter due to direct contact. This change can be visually observed in the filter color, which darkens after use in the exhaust pipe. However, a limitation of this work is its short-term experiment, which lasted only five minutes, indicating a key area for future research. It is also necessary to have alternative filters that are sustainable and can work properly in high-temperature conditions.

Abstract

The technology aimed at reducing dependence on fossil fuels and minimizing exhaust emissions involves the use of ethanol as an alternative fuel. This research investigates the effects of blending ethanol with RON 92 (Pertamax) gasoline on the exhaust emissions of a 2000cc four-cylinder gasoline engine. Experiments were conducted using varying ethanol concentrations, and the emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and oxygen (O₂) were measured and analyzed. Data were presented descriptively and compared. The results indicate that adding ethanol significantly reduces CO and HC emissions. The lowest CO concentration (0.04%) was recorded with a 10% ethanol blend (BE10%), while the lowest HC emission (2316 ppm) occurred at a 15% ethanol blend (BE15%). Conversely, CO₂ emissions increased with ethanol content, peaking at 8.97% for BE15%. These findings demonstrate the potential of ethanol–gasoline blends to lower harmful emissions, particularly CO and HC, while enhancing combustion efficiency, as reflected by the increase in CO₂ levels.
