Abstract

Renewable energy is being developed by many advanced countries due to its positive impacts. Indonesia has a high potential for hydropower generation using axial vortex turbines, which are effective at low head heights. Researchers use experimental methods, employing CFD simulations with specific boundary conditions. In one blade variation, testing was conducted 18 times with speed variables (20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120 RPM) and blade angles of 22.5°, 35°, 40°. Torque data was collected after achieving convergence. The results showed the highest torque at 22.5° blade angle and 80 RPM speed, amounting to 2.4 N.m, and efficiency of 57.90% at 120 RPM. Researchers concluded that the decrease in torque is caused by the increase in vortex flow, reducing interaction between the blade and fluid after 80 RPM, while the increase in torque before 80 RPM is due to minimal swirling in the basin.

Abstract

Dependence on fossil fuels results in depletion of petroleum. In solving this problem, it is necessary to use alternative fuels in the form of bioethanol. Bioethanol is made by utilizing kepok banana peels. There are quite a lot of banana peels, approximately one third of the bananas that have not been peeled. This study was conducted to analyze the ethanol content, water content, density, and viscosity of kepok banana peel bioethanol. This study uses an experimental method of the effect of HCl concentration (2%, 5%, and 8%) in the hydrolysis process in the manufacture of kepok banana peel bioethanol. From the results of the study, the best bioethanol characteristics at a concentration of 2% HCl with an ethanol content of 9%, a water content of 70.52%, a density of 0.9861 g/ml, and a viscosity of 0.010768212 dPa.s. The characteristics of the bioethanol produced are different from the characteristics of pertalite.
