Abstract

Building heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are among the most critical facilities with the most significant energy consumption. This article is based on the issues faced by PT X regarding the importance of visual analytics in energy audits and the performance evaluation of water-cooled chillers and cooling towers. The research methodology used is descriptive qualitative with a quantitative approach, where primary data is obtained based on observations of the machines owned by PT X. The approach taken involves the application of spreadsheets as a system for processing operational data and Looker Studio for real-time data visualization, aimed at understanding performance and energy consumption. The research results show that visualization with the Looker Studio platform provides a solution for PT X to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the company's performance. In addition, the analysis conducted over six months on the coefficient of performance of a 2,000 TR water-cooled chiller showed a highest value of 21.5 and a lowest value of 13.31, while the highest efficiency of the cooling tower reached 98% and the lowest was 74%.

Abstract

One of the materials that may be utilized in polymer matrix composites is high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic. Large amounts of HDPE plastic waste can harm the environment. Therefore, a solution is needed to overcome this problem. One solution to reduce plastic waste is to utilise it into polymer composite roof tiles. Roof tile surfaces are subjected to the greatest amount of solar heat radiation. This study aims to analyze the effect of variations in the composition of HDPE and teki grass on the value of solar radiation heat transfer and the value of thermal stability in polymer composite roof tiles. This research uses an experimental method by composites HDPE and teki grass with variations in the weight of teki grass used by 0%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. The results show that 20% teki grass composition in the composite produces low radiant heat compared to 0% teki grass composition which tends to be higher. according to the findings of the thermal stability test., The maximum thermal stability was seen in the composite with 0% fiber composition. While the most unstable composite is at 20% fiber composition with a 5% weight loss at 164.47oC and 10% at 278.27oC.

Abstract

Symmetric airfoils like NACA 0015 have limitations in generating lift compared to asymmetric airfoils. Therefore, additional devices are needed to overcome this limitation. This research analyzes the use of a lift enhancement device called a plain flap, which is installed on the trailing edge of the NACA 0015 airfoil using the CFD method. Simulations were conducted at a Reynolds number of using the k-epsilon turbulent model. Three variations of geometry models were simulated: the NACA 0015 airfoil without a flap, the NACA 0015 airfoil with a plain flap at a deflection angle of 15°, and the NACA 0015 airfoil with a plain flap at a deflection angle of 30°. The simulation results show that the use of a flap can increase the maximum lift coefficient (Cl) of the airfoil. Initially, the maximum lift coefficient was 1.15 at an angle of attack (AoA) of 15°. With a plain flap deflection angle of 15°, the maximum lift coefficient increased to 1.5 at an AoA of 13°. With a plain flap deflection angle of 30°, the maximum lift coefficient further increased to 1.71 at an AoA of 10°. However, the use of a plain flap also leads to a significant increase in drag. On average, the drag coefficient (Cd) increased by 65% with a plain flap deflection angle of 15° and by 178% with a plain flap deflection angle of 30°.
