Abstract

Air compressor plays a crucial role by converting electrical energy into kinetic energy in the form of compressed air. This study specifically concentrates on assessing the performance of two compressors that operate alternately, with one compressor in standby mode. Unfortunately, compressor unit #1 faced issues with its drying system, rendering it unable to function within the current pipe network. In order to rectify this, proposed modifications to the pipeline network are introduced and scrutinized. To analyze these modifications, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is employed to evaluate and compare pressure and flow characteristics in both the existing and modified pipe configurations. The CFD analysis utilizes computer engineering software, with SolidWorks serving as the primary modeling and simulation tool. The assumption is made that the Reynolds number corresponds to laminar flow, factoring in pipe diameter and compressor volume rate.The resulting CFD data offers valuable insights into pressure and velocity distributions within the existing and modified pipeline networks. During the pressure simulation, surface pressure and output on both standard and modified pipes exhibit relatively similar pressure values at 7 bar. However, in the air velocity simulation, surfaces of standard and modified pipes maintain a consistent range of 0 – 5 mm/s. Notably, from the pipe output side, air velocity in standard and modified pipes displays distinct speed contours. Standard pipes show the highest speed between 0.25 – 0.38 mm/s, whereas modified pipes exhibit the highest speed within the range of 0.15 – 0.2 mm/s. This study aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed modifications, seeking to enhance understanding of the fluid dynamics within air compressor systems. The outcomes of this research have the potential to contribute significantly to optimizing the performance and efficiency of these systems, thereby offering benefits across various industrial applications.

Abstract

Digital transformation in the banking sector has brought convenience to financial transactions through mobile banking applications. However, the quality of User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) is still a challenge, especially for people with low digital literacy. This service activity aims to improve the understanding and skills of the community in Banten Province in using digital banking applications effectively and safely. The implementation method includes an initial survey, simulation-based training, focus group discussions (FGDs), pre-post test evaluations, and the formation of village digital communities. The participants consisted of MSME players, housewives, and students, with a total of 120 people. The results of the activity showed a significant improvement in the digital literacy aspect, where the participants' understanding score rose from 52.3% to 83.7%. As many as 88% of participants were able to complete digital transactions independently after the training. The focus on digital security also increased user trust in the app. FGD findings indicated the need for improvement in application design, particularly interface navigation, icon size, and language simplification. Community-based UX/UI recommendations have been compiled and submitted to partner banks. The outputs of the activity include scientific articles, service reports, and the formation of a digital community forum for banking application users. This activity proves that an educative and participatory approach is able to answer the challenges of banking digitalization in real terms. This program is expected to become a replication model in an effort to increase digital financial inclusion based on local needs.

Abstract

Demineralization water is removal of dissolved ionic mineral impurities present in water and other liquids. Mineral content in water can cause crusts in power plant equipment such as boilers and turbine, lowering yield and selectivity values in the reaction process. The aim of the research is to diagnose the conditions of water process Tanjung Enim thermal power plant with standard value of ASME CRTD Vol. 34 and Power Plant water treatment standard. Demineralization Water treatment process starts from Multimedia Filter (MMF), Carbon Filter (CF), Reverse Osmosis (RO), Electrodeionization. Demineralization water sampling taken in January, february, march and April. The water sampling used in RAW Water, Feed RO, Electrodeionization process, feed water and boiler drum to measure the parameters of pH, conductivity, turbidity, Fe, Cl2 and Si02, P04 and ions of Na+, Fe+, Cu+ some of parameters result the fluctuative value but still in both of water treatment standard.

Abstract

Motor and coal crushers are critical in coal size reduction for efficient energy production. Continuous operation often impacts their functionality, necessitating effective maintenance methods. This study employs vibration analysis to monitor the health and detect potential faults in the motor and coal crusher. Vibration values, measured under load and no-load conditions, were analyzed in vertical, horizontal, and axial directions using ISO 10816 standards. Results show that while vibration levels remained within safe limits, increased readings in specific areas, particularly at the Crusher NDE in axial direction under load conditions, suggest potential issues like misalignment or bearing wear. Prominent vibration peaks at lower frequencies in the spectrum further support these findings. This research underscores the importance of routine vibration monitoring to preemptively address machine faults, ensuring optimized operation and minimized downtime. Vibration analysis proves effective for predictive maintenance and operational reliability in coal processing systems.
