Abstract

The United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) has a main agenda, namely evaluating COP21, where the main target of COP21 is to maintain global temperature changes below 2 degrees Celsius (MoEF, 2021). Indonesia itself is committed to zero carbon emissions by 2060, and the target of a renewable energy mix by 2025 is 23%. Indonesia’s own renewable energy potential is 443 GW [13], but not all renewable energy can be used in some areas that have terrain problems. Picohydro turbines are suitable for choice, because these turbines have a relatively constant supply, can be placed in reservoirs and rivers, and are also not dependent on weather. Among several types of picohydro, the Turgo Turbine is a suitable turbine to choose, because it has cheap construction and maintenance costs, and only requires a low head. This study aims to determine the effect of changes in the inlet angle and nozzle distance on the hydraulic efficiency of turgo turbines with coconut shell blades. Variations in the entry angle are carried out, namely 10°, 20°, 30° and distance variations, namely 100 mm, 150 mm, 200 mm. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the greatest hydraulic efficiency is at a variation in the entry angle of 10° with a nozzle distance of 100 mm, that is, numerically by 49%, and experimentally by 41.8%.

Abstract

Natural circulation flow is an important phenomenon of passive cooling systems in nuclear reactor thermal management during accidents. This experimental study investigates the effect of varying water temperatures on flow regimes and Reynolds number within a passive natural circulation system. The research was conducted using a rectangular TP-loop (FASSIP-04 Ver.2) made of 1-inch SS304 pipe, 6 m high and 1.32 m wide. The water temperature setting was varied at 45°C, 55°C, 65°C, and 75°C, with a heating power of 4.2 kW, and the cooling tank was maintained at 10°C. Observations were made during transient heating, steady-state (for 3 hours), and transient cooling phases. Results show that increasing the heating tank temperature reduces fluid density and viscosity, thereby enhancing buoyancy-driven flow. This led to a transition in flow regimes from laminar to turbulent as the temperature increased. The Reynolds number increased by 169.38% when the water temperature was raised from 45°C to 75°C. Unstable flow behaviour, including fluctuating amplitudes and frequencies, was observed—characteristic of natural circulation dynamics. The study confirms a strong correlation between thermal variation and flow regime transition, providing insights into the performance of passive cooling systems under varying thermal loads.

Abstract

This study evaluates the wind energy potential for electricity generation in the North, South, and West regions of Zanzibar using wind speed data from NASA POWER (2014–2023). The Weibull statistical distribution indicated annual average wind speeds of 5.43 to 5.81 m/s. The South Region experienced the highest wind stability (k=7.97 in 2015), while the North had the greatest energy-carrying wind speed (6.80 m/s in 2020). Wind power density ranged from 107.87 to 132.98 W/m², and energy density varied from 944.91 to 1164.94 kWh/m²/year, confirming that all sites fall into Class 2 (Marginal) of the Pacific Northwest Laboratory standard—implying weak feasibility for large wind farms but suitability for small- to medium-scale or hybrid schemes. A technical-economic analysis of four turbines identified the De Wind D7 (1500 kW, 70 m hub height) as the most suitable, with the highest annual energy production (>1300 MWh/year) and capacity factor (>10%). The study provides crucial data to inform investments and policies for diversifying Zanzibar's energy mix and fostering sustainable development.

Abstract

Operating room ventilation plays an important role in controlling bacteria-carrying particles (BCP), reducing infection risk, and maintaining thermal comfort for medical staff. Temperature-controlled airflow (TAF) is a promising ventilation strategy because it supplies air through central and peripheral inlets with different temperatures to form a stable downward airflow. This study aims to optimize a TAF ventilation system by considering BCP concentration, energy consumption, and predicted mean vote (PMV). A three-dimensional operating room model was developed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Four operating parameters were varied using central composite design (CCD), while the peripheral inlet position was evaluated separately as a two-level geometry parameter. Airflow was solved using the RNG k–ε turbulence model, while BCP motion was modeled using the discrete phase model (DPM). CFD simulation results were used to train an artificial neural network (ANN) model, which was then integrated with a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA). TOPSIS was used to select the best compromise solution from the Pareto front. The optimum condition was obtained at a central inlet velocity of 0.2735 m/s, peripheral inlet velocity of 0.1671 m/s, central inlet temperature of 21.8649 °C, peripheral inlet temperature of 22.0127 °C, and peripheral-to-central inlet distance of 2.0474 m. This configuration produced a BCP concentration of 0.9115 CFU/m³, energy consumption of 9.8832 kW, and PMV of −0.3186. These results indicate that the modified TAF configuration can produce low particle concentration, relatively low energy consumption, and acceptable thermal comfort in the operating room.

Abstract

This research work proposes the integrated statistical and ANN approach for the evaluation and prediction of the wind power potential of Pemba Island, Zanzibar, Tanzania. Monthly wind speeds and meteorological data from NASA POWER were used to assess the wind power potential of the region using ten consecutive years of data (2014-2023). From the results, it was evident that the region has marginal to moderate wind power potential since the wind speed averages 6m/s. Wind speed in the region is high between May and August. Wind power density in the region was between 130.46 and 170.43 W/m2. This information proved that the region has the ability to implement small to medium-scale and hybrid wind power systems. An artificial neural network was also developed to predict the wind power density using various parameters such as wind speed, temperature, relative humidity, wind direction, and precipitation. From the results, the ANN has excellent predictive ability since the value of R2 was approximately 0.9998, and very low levels of error for the prediction of the wind energy potential of the islanded grid.

Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a major health problem in Indonesia, with a prevalence of up to 20.4 million people in 2024 according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). Early detection of blood sugar is hampered by expensive and difficult-to-access diagnostic tools. Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) are a potential solution because they are inexpensive, portable, and environmentally friendly, in accordance with WHO ASSURED standards. This study aims to develop a μPAD integrated with a portable detection system for colorimetric quantification of glucose concentration using Glucose Oxidase–Peroxidase Aminoantipyrine (GOD-PAP) reagent, which produces a color change proportional to glucose concentration. Initial testing was conducted on phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and D-glucose solutions as test materials in glucose concentration research. The test materials will be validated using spectrophotometry. Next, the test materials will be applied to μPAD for colorimetric observation using an RGB sensor on a portable device. The quantification results show that the red ratio at 10 minutes of the colorimetric method has excellent linearity (R² = 0.96). Precision validation of the colorimetric method produced an RSD value of less than 5%. The paired t-test produced a p-value of 0.42 with a 95% confidence level, indicating that there was no significant difference between the glucose concentration quantification results obtained using the colorimetric method and the spectrophotometric method.
