Abstract

Fluids often experience a loss of energy (head loss) in the pipe due to flow turbulence, which results in friction on the inner surface of the pipe. Head loss is very detrimental in piping systems because it can reduce the level of fluid flow efficiency. Head loss is affected by variations in bends (elbows), joints, valves, and pipe diameters. The purpose of this study is to determine the head loss that occurs in each line of the fluid flow piping system, which consists of variations in the cross-sectional area of the pipe and the number of connections, valves, and bends. In addition, it is also used to evaluate pump work in series and complex circuits. The smaller the diameter, the more the fluid velocity increases, causing the friction in the pipe to increase and the head loss to increase. The pump work required to flow the fluid is directly proportional to the amount of head loss that occurs in the piping system.

Abstract

The industrial production process is closely related to control systems, including level control. This is often used to ensure that fluid in the tank is available in the appropriate amount at each stage of the process. The process typically uses an automatic control system such as a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) Controller that can help measure the accuracy of the data obtained. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effect of flow rate on fluid level control in a tank using linear, exponential, and logarithmic regression analyses. In the process, the effect of the automatic control system (PID Controller) on fluid flow rate was evaluated. The materials used were a 4 mm solenoid and a pump speed variation in the range of 30-50%. Data on fluid level increase were obtained at 0 (n = 1), 60.27 (n = 30), and 180 seconds (n = 61) as the lower, middle, and upper limits. The results showed that fluid flow rate significantly affected the process of controlling fluid level in the tank, and is influenced by the speed of the pump used. Based on the regression analysis, the evaluation of the PID Controller was still classified as good, because the deviation observed in the reading flow rate data was very small.

Abstract

This study aims to develop starch-based bioplastics using sago starch with the addition of Microfibrillated Cellulose (MFC) and Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) fillers to enhance mechanical properties and material sustainability. Sago starch was selected as the base material due to its biodegradability, while MFC derived from empty palm oil fruit bunches served as a structural reinforcement, and RDF was introduced as an additional filler sourced from processed organic and inorganic waste. The bioplastic production process involved starch gelatinization, mixing with MFC and RDF solutions, addition of sorbitol as a plasticizer, casting, and natural drying. Characterization included morphological analysis and mechanical testing. Results showed that the sago starch+MFC bioplastic exhibited a more homogeneous surface morphology and superior mechanical properties, with a maximum tensile strength of 10.6 MPa and elongation at break of 5.7%. The addition of RDF increased material density but reduced homogeneity and toughness, with fracture energy per volume drastically decreasing from 488.28 kJ/m³ to 41.15 kJ/m³. Overall, the combination of sago starch and MFC offered better mechanical performance, while RDF addition requires optimization to maintain structural integrity. This innovation supports waste utilization and promotes circular economy principles in the development of environmentally friendly materials.

Abstract

Among various sources of industrial water pollution, effluents from printing, dyeing, and textile processes represent one of the most significant environmental threats. These wastewaters contain numerous toxic and hazardous substances that are difficult to biodegrade. This study investigates the synthesis, characterization, and adsorption performance of a Bentonite–Nano SiO₂ composite for the removal of Rhodamine B dye from aqueous solutions. The research was conducted in two main stages: the preparation of the Bentonite–Nano SiO₂ composite and the evaluation of its adsorption performance at various adsorbent concentrations and contact times. The composite was synthesized by dispersing nano-silica (15% w/w) into bentonite using ethanol as the solvent, followed by stirring, filtration, and drying processes. Characterization using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed successful modification. Adsorption tests showed that Rhodamine B removal efficiency increased with higher adsorbent concentration, reaching optimal conditions at 0.75% (w/v) with a removal efficiency of 90.2% after a contact time of 10–15 minutes. The enhanced adsorption performance was attributed to the larger surface area, higher porosity, and increased number of active sites resulting from the incorporation of nano-silica
