Abstract

Electronic noses have been developed as an artificial sense to imitate the human nose based on volatile gases. They have been used in agriculture to monitor and predict fruit qualities such as ripeness and chemical contents. Electronic noses with semiconductor gas sensors have a limitation of volatile gases detected. Therefore, optical electronic noses using an output coupler become an alternative due to the wavelength dependency of the gas types. The ripeness of oil palm fresh fruit bunches (FFBs) is one of the main factors in determining the quality of crude palm oil. Electronic detection is preferable to substitute the manual methods for ripeness detection. This study built an optical electronic nose and analyzed the wavelength dependence on the detection performance. The electronic nose consisted of an infrared LED and a photodiode enclosed in a chamber, a microcontroller, and a sample chamber. We tested four infrared LEDs with 760, 780, 840, and 910 nm wavelengths. The samples were fruitlets taken from oil palm FFBs, previously categorized as unripe, ripe, and overripe. The fruits were grounded, inserted into the sample chamber, and preheated to increase the volatile gas concentration.  Trapezoid areas represented the time-varying output voltages for each LED. The results showed that overripe fruits had slightly higher trapezoid areas. LED of 840 nm wavelength obtained higher trapezoid areas. LED of 780 nm was the best candidate for the electronic nose due to linearity in increasing trapezoid areas. The results showed the potential of the optical electronic nose for oil palm fruits.

Abstract

Water infiltration is one important factor for plant growth. Water that cannot seep into the pores of the soil creates a pool of water so that soil permeability is low. From these conditions, it is necessary to conduct research to determine the rate of water seepage in the soil. This study aims to analyze. The rate of water seepage on the ground by utilizing the difference in floating voltage. Based on the difference in floating voltage, two-dimensional modeling of the stress distribution and the distribution of water infiltrate time into the ground using the method of adding water repeatedly. The sample in this study consisted of 2 types of soil, compost and sand. Land with high permeability can increase the rate of infiltration thereby reducing the rate of water. The results of this study concluded that the pore size and particle arrangement greatly affect the rate of water seepage.
