Abstract

This study investigates the viability of corn byproducts as an alternative energy source via conversion into honeycomb charcoal briquettes. Discarded corn byproducts are transformed into briquettes to mitigate fossil fuel reliance, particularly in the Arso region. This research aims to assess the energy output of briquettes with varying perforation configurations (4, 8, and 12 holes) and a diameter of 5 inches. The Water Boiling Test (WBT) method, utilizing temperature measurement tools such as a K-type thermocouple and an infrared thermometer, was utilized for performance assessment. One liter of water was heated to its boiling point during the experiment. The results indicated that the 8-hole briquette had the quickest boiling time of 25 minutes, with a fuel consumption rate of 2.8 × 10⁻³ kg/s. In comparison, the 4 and 12-hole briquettes required 35 minutes, with an average fuel usage of 2.86 g/s. The maximum combustion temperature for the 4-hole briquette was measured at 589°C, while the 12-hole briquette reached a mere 427°C. These outcomes demonstrate that the 8-hole briquette possesses superior efficiency. A decrease in hole quantity adversely affects boiling speed, while an increase in holes results in greater fuel consumption. These findings highlight the importance of optimized briquette design in improving biomass fuel efficiency.

Abstract

Papua province has nine small islands that are inhabited, but there is no access to electricity on these islands. The solution is the use of sea wind as a source of energy for a small power plant. This study aims to determine the potential of sea wind as an alternative source of electrical energy on the north coast of Papua Province. Data Measurement is carried out using an HP-866B anomometer on a hill near the coast to maximize the sea wind. There are two methods used in this research: the minimum-maximum value to determine the wind speed range and linear regression to determine the distribution pattern of the wind. The range of the sea wind is 0.2–6.18 m/s. If the minimum speed is limited to 1.6 m/s, then the range of kinetic energy is 5.59–322.22 Joules/s, mechanical power is 5.59–322.22 Watts, and actual power is 0.57–33.13 Watts. Meanwhile, the pattern shows that the sea wind from the north coast of Papua Province blows with two trends: constant and increasing, specifically in the afternoon and evening. Based on that, the development of a wind power plant on the north coast of Papua Province can be carried out using a multi-turbine system to increase the actual power that can be obtained.

Abstract

The type of drying device known as a hybrid dryer is a tool that harnesses solar energy and the heat generated by a biomass fuel-powered heat exchanger. This study was conducted to assess the performance of the hybrid dryer by analyzing the parameters of the device itself and the dried material. The research was carried out experimentally using a solar collector and a biomass furnace (as a heat exchanger) to heat the air. The solar collector used consists of 0.35 mm thick, black-painted zinc, coated with 5 mm thick glass, and installed at a 20-degree angle. The heat exchanger pipe used has a diameter of 1.25 inches and is made of galvanized pipe. The tested sample is corn seeds with an initial moisture content of about 24.6%. The experimental results show that in the drying process using a solar dryer, the initial moisture content of 24.8% was successfully reduced to 14% at 5.50 h (rack 1), 6.50 h (rack 2) and 7.00 h (rack 3) with a thermal efficiency of 24.25%. Meanwhile, in the hybrid drying process, the required time is approximately 5.00 h (rack 1), 5.50 h (rack 2) and 6.00 h (rack 3), with a efficiency of the drying equipment used is 21.048±5.690% (hybrid) and 22.706±6.437% (solar).

Abstract

The use of wind energy as one of the producers of electrical energy is done by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy from wind turbines, one of which is the savonius wind turbine. Savonius wind turbines in use are able to work at low wind speeds. This study aims to evaluate the potential of wind energy that can be generated by optimization in savonius wind turbines by measuring the power generated by varying the gap distance between Balde and turbine shafts and analyzing the most optimal power as a source of power generation on the coast of Sarmi Regency, Papua Province. The analysis method in this study is field surveys, wind speed measurements, power optimization, BHP and tool efficiency carried out with variations in the distance between the blade and turbine shaft, namely 5 cm, 10 cm and 15 cm. The results of this study stated that the most optimal and stable results on the power generated by the turbine as well as the BHP value and the best tool efficiency were a distance variation of 15 cm with an average power value produced (P0) of 15.55 Watts, an average BHP value of 0.56 Watts and an average efficiency value of 7.59%.
