Abstract

Conductive polymer composites were synthesized using a crosslinking method, enhancing conductivity through the incorporation of carbon additives. Non-conductive natural polymers, corn starch, and natural rubber were blended with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as a crosslinking agent, enhancing polymer bonding. CMC also served as a compatibilizer, improving corn starch properties. Glycerol acted as a plasticizer, enhancing flexibility and processability. Addition of carbon nanotube (CNT), graphite, and carbon foam yielded low-density materials, with carbon foam providing optimal porosity. The crystalline properties mirrored the added conductive carbon, while the chemical structure remained unchanged. At 0.1 Hz, electrical conductivity varied: 1.192 x 10-7 S.cm-1 (no carbon), 6.123 x 10-4 S.cm-1 (CNT), 7.656 x 10-4 S.cm-1 (graphite), and 3.134 x 10-2 S.cm-1 (carbon foam). Graphite incorporation demonstrated an electrical conductivity of 7.838 x 10-4 S.cm-1. The introduced carbon additives facilitated a conductive pathway in corn starch-based polymer composites, elevating material conductivity.

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of overcurrent on copper (Cu) insulated polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cables, focusing on their thermal behavior and fire resistance. We utilized thermal imaging, macrostructural analysis, and Joule heating calculations to evaluate six cable samples subjected to various currents. Results showed that with increasing current, the temperature of the cables rose significantly. For example, the CC0 sample, with no current, had a temperature of 36 °C, while the CC110 sample, subjected to 110 A, reached 1,091 °C. Joule heating calculations indicated energy values ranging from 0 J for the CC0 sample to 7,260,000 J for the CC110 sample. Physical observations included minor deformations at 253 °C and complete insulation loss at 1,091 °C. These findings emphasize the critical need for managing overcurrent to prevent severe cable damage and enhance system safety. This research provides practical insights for optimizing cable design and improving thermal management, offering valuable contributions to electrical engineering practices.

Abstract

Strong wind is one of the weather phenomena that can be dangerous for aviation safety. According to observation data from the Kualanamu Meteorological Station, there were 61 strong winds with speeds greater than or equal to 15 knots in 2020, which indicates a high risk of strong wind over this area. This research aims to analyze the characteristics of strong winds in the Kualanamu airport area using weather Doppler radar. The data used consisted of nine cases of the strongest winds for each month in 2020. We have tested analysis methods of radar products such as VVP, CAPPI V, and PPI on nine sample dates to determine the duration, intensity, and direction of wind speed. Additionally, we used the radar's echo pattern to identify the potential impact of cumulonimbus clouds (Cb), which trigger strong winds. Three out of nine study cases, identified as the three most significant strong winds during 2020, have been subjected to echo pattern analysis. The results showed that the strong winds occur for 40 to 70 minutes, but they mostly have a duration of about 50 minutes. Overall, strong winds occurred during the night and early morning. The radar echo typically has a range between 18 and 43 dBZ. Echo patterns generally revealed a group that extended in the shape of a squall line that moved from west to east and reversed.

The impact of the seismic activities has produced an enormous shaking which measured as VI on the Adjusted Mercalli Concentrated (MMI) and II -III MMI until Malaysian and Singapore region. The casualty's reports contain the data approximately the broadly harms such as, 1765 residences and murdered at slightest 18 individuals in West Sumatra Area. A dependable dynamic blame was already unidentified and raise a major address almost the association with Sumatra dynamic blame. Therefore, this analysis examines the attributes of seismic activity and the damage caused by utilizing an appropriate 1-Dimensional seismic velocity model. The acquired 1-Dimensional speed data exhibits varying values at a depth of 10 km with a velocity of approximately 5.5 km/s and at 30 km with a velocity of approximately 7 km/s. The 1-D velocity obtained exhibits a parallel and distinctive pattern with an RMS value of less than 1.0. In addition, the PGA records reveal a seismic intensity of 10% in Pasaman, consistent with the damage reports obtained during field assessments. This indicates that Pasaman is located in a zone with frequent seismic activity.

Abstract

The goal of this study is to investigate the properties of barium hexaferrite and iron sand as microwave absorbers. The focus is on understanding how these materials affect microwave absorption and the specific frequency range of waves they produce. The solid reaction method was used in the study. The study's findings indicate that the combination of iron sand with barium hexaferrite material leads to the formation of a homogeneous material with a single phase. X-ray diffraction pattern data confirms the presence of a single-phase material, specifically iron sand and barium hexaferrite, which consists of hematite and barium hexaferrite. The VNA observations reveal that the iron sand and barium hexapherite materials can absorb electromagnetic waves at a radar wave frequency of 11.1 GHz, resulting in a loss of -23.86 dB. Furthermore, the material demonstrates its ability to absorb microwaves. The absorption of microwaves relies on the quantity of particles in the absorbent substance and its microwave-absorbing capacity. To thoroughly assess the absorption properties of various samples, it is essential to not only evaluate their reflection loss but also analyze how well they operate as microwave absorbers.

Abstract

Temperature and viscosity variations are known to affect the performance of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers in fluid systems. However, there exist gaps in research relative to the thermal effects on the performance of PID based fluid systems. PID controllers are also utilized for fluid control to maintain stability and improve performance. This study aims to explore the influence of temperature and viscosity variations through frequency response analysis for the first time in this regard. Utilizing a controlled experimental setup, gain and phase values were measured across different temperature points. Bode and Nyquist plots were generated to observe system behavior, stability, and response to changes in temperature and fluid viscosity. The results show a clear inverse relationship between temperature and gain, with a notable phase lag increase as temperature rises. At 25 °C, the gain was measured at 15.83 dB with a phase of -52.63°, which gradually reduced to a gain of 13 dB and a phase of -61.53° at 80 °C. The Nyquist analysis revealed stable operation within this temperature range, but the shift in response indicates increased system vulnerability as viscosity decreases with rising temperature. The derived linear equations effectively model the gain-phase relationship, with an R² of 0.9985, suggesting a highly accurate fit. Overall, the study concludes that temperature-induced viscosity changes significantly impact PID-controlled fluid systems, emphasizing the need for adaptive control strategies in fluctuating environments.

Abstract

The growing need for sustainable and eco-friendly energy storage solutions has led to advancements in high-performance supercapacitors with extended cycle life. This research explores the fabrication of composite electrodes using activated carbon derived from elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) combined with manganese dioxide (MnO₂). The carbon material was produced through chemical activation with potassium hydroxide (KOH) and subsequent physical activation using carbon dioxide (CO₂). MnO₂ was incorporated into the activated carbon at various weight ratios (10:0, 7:3, 5:5, 3:7, and 0:10). Morphological and elemental analyses were performed using SEM-EDS, Meanwhile, the electrochemical performance was evaluated using galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Of all the samples evaluated, the composite containing a 3:7 ratio of carbon to MnO₂ exhibited the highest specific capacitance, reaching 198.51 F/g, highlighting the beneficial interaction between double-layer capacitance and pseudocapacitance. These findings suggest that elephant grass-derived carbon, when effectively combined with MnO₂, presents a cost-effective and environmentally friendly option for next-generation supercapacitor electrodes.

Abstract

The contamination of wastewater by synthetic dyes such as Methyl Red poses serious environmental and health risks, necessitating effective remediation methods. This study investigates the synthesis and characterization of hybrid bionanocomposites composed of polycaprolactone (PCL), rice husk ash (RHA), and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles for the efficient degradation of Methyl Red (MR) dye. The composites were prepared using a co-precipitation method for the incorporation of nano-RHA and TiO2. Characterization of the bionanocomposites was conducted through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and photodegradation tests. XRD analysis, using the Scherrer equation, revealed crystallite sizes ranging from 19.01 nm (composite S0) to 27.25 nm (composite S2). FTIR spectra showed characteristic absorption peaks corresponding to Ti–O (669.29 cm⁻¹), Si–O (970.19 cm⁻¹), and C–H (2960.73 cm⁻¹) bonds. The photodegradation results indicated a significant improvement in dye adsorption, with the highest degradation efficiency observed in composite S1, achieving 93.55% degradation after 45 hours of UV irradiation. The degradation efficiencies of S0, S1, and S2 were found to be 87.1%, 93.55%, and 25.81%, respectively, under the same conditions. The incorporation of TiO2 and RHA in PCL significantly enhanced its photocatalytic activity. This study demonstrates the potential of these bionanocomposites as sustainable materials for textile wastewater treatment
