Abstract

Currently, many charcoal makers use drums as pyrolyzers, this is because the oxygen (O2) entering the combustion chamber is controlled, the oxygen level entering the combustion chamber must be low so that the shell does not burn out. The aim of this research is to calculate the heat loss rate of the pyrolyzer for making coconut shell charcoal and to analyze the effect of a mixture of clay, sand and rice straw insulator on the charcoal yield and quality of the charcoal produced. This research focuses on reviewing pyrolyzer modifications based on aspects of mixed variations of clay, sand and rice straw insulating materials in dealing with heat loss. Testing of furnace performance is carried out using comparisons of several parameters or components including temperature, time and insulator material. The final stage of the research is to draw conclusions and draw conclusions based on the results of material variations and the factors that influence them. The research results show that the best insulator is the TP3 pyrolyzer with an insulator mixed with clay, sand and rice straw in a ratio of 2:1:0.3 with a heat loss of 7,378.992 W and ΔT of 195°C. The addition of rice straw to a mixture of clay and sand insulators provides significant benefits in increasing ΔT and reducing heat loss. The addition of rice straw to a mixture of clay and sand insulators has a significant impact on the carbonization process of coconut shell charcoal. Even though the charcoal yield decreases with the addition of rice straw to the insulator, the quality of the charcoal produced increases, especially in terms of fixed carbon content with the best insulator being the TP3 pyrolyzer with a carbon content value of 78.54%.

Abstract

Wind energy potential is available in several regions in Indonesia with wind ranges reaching 5 m/s. Wind turbine research continues to develop to produce optimal power. The aim of this research is to determine the performance of wind turbines equipped with diffusers or lens that put triangle fin vortex generator on lens’s surface. The turbine blade used Clark-Y that has a winglet angle of 45-degrees. There are three variations of lens wind turbine that were tested: without vortex generator, z/h=4.5, z/h=2.5, z/h=0.5. The research was carried out experimentally with fifth wind velocity 3 m/s, 3.5 m/s, 4 m/s, 4.5 m/s, and 5 m/s. The results analyzed to determine turbine performance are turbine rotation, the power produced due to wind direction. Based on the results of the experiments that have been carried out, the results were obtained a straight comparison between TSR and wind turbine rotation (rpm), and straight comparison between Cp and TRS. The Cp is largest in a lens wind turbine with a vortex generator z/h=0.5, which is 0.59 and has the highest power output of 473 watt.

Abstract

Landslides are events that can cause both moral and non-moral losses, one of which is the damage to the Subulussalam–Lipat Kajang Road section at KM. 619+900, resulting in restricted movement and disrupted activities of the local community. This could be due to factors such as rainfall or groundwater levels. Therefore, this research was conducted with the aim of addressing the existing problems by providing appropriate and effective solutions to the landslides caused. This research uses secondary data and primary data in analyzing slope stability. The initial conditions and the slope conditions following sheet pile reinforcement are used this analysis. An application called Plaxis is required in order to examine the slope stability. This study produced a safety factor value of 1.104 under existing conditions, and after being reinforced with sheet piles, the safety factor value increased to 1.502. However, if the slope in the existing condition is subjected to an earthquake load, it will obtain a very low safety factor value of 1.044, and this requires strengthening with sheet piles and anchors to increase the safety factor value, ensuring that the slope is in a stable condition. This research provides one of the much-needed alternatives in addressing landslide issues, especially in the fields of construction and geotechnical engineering. The findings of this research can serve as a reference or guideline in the civil engineering planning process, particularly in the use of reinforcement systems such as sheet piles (retaining walls) and anchors as effective solutions.

Abstract

Implants that can be absorbed by the body may be developed using alloy materials based on zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), and silver (Ag). Zn-based alloys are known for their faster biodegradation rates, making them particularly suitable for biodegradable implant applications. The aim of this study is to determine the corrosion rate and hardness of Zn-0.5Fe-0.5Ag alloy specimens, as well as to examine the effects of heat treatment and the addition of Fe and Ag elements. The research utilizes a direct experimental observation method to analyze the mechanical properties of the Zn-0.5Fe-0.5Ag alloy. The microstructural analysis reveals differences between pure Zn specimens and Zn-0.5Fe-0.5Ag alloy specimens. In pure Zn, the largest grain size is observed in specimens without annealing treatment, while the smallest grain size is found in specimens annealed at 350°C. For the Zn-0.5Fe-0.5Ag alloy, the smallest grain size is observed in specimens annealed at 400°C, while the largest grain size appears in those annealed at 350°C. The addition of Fe and Ag to pure Zn significantly increases the hardness, with the hardness value rising from 33.77 HV (pure Zn) to 61.64 HV. In terms of corrosion, the highest corrosion rate in pure Zn was found in specimens without annealing. In contrast, the highest corrosion rate in the Zn-0.5Fe-0.5Ag alloy was observed in specimens annealed at 400°C. In conclusion, the addition of Fe and Ag elements, along with heat treatment, significantly affects the mechanical properties of the Zn-0.5Fe-0.5Ag alloy, improving both its hardness and influencing its corrosion behavior.

Abstract

Early disease avoidance depends much on health monitoring. However, the general examination methods still used today are invasive, namely, using a syringe to take blood samples. Many do not undergo routine examinations because this method is uncomfortable and expensive. In this study, the MAX30105 optical sensor is used as a non-invasive measuring device that can read the reflection of infrared light from the fingertip. After that, the second-order polynomial regression method is used to process the sensor data and determine the blood sugar, cholesterol, and uric acid levels. Using calibration data, this tool will change the reflected light signal into numbers for these three substances. The quantitative experimental method was conducted on 15 participants, The quantitative experimental method was carried out on 15 participants, the test results showed that blood sugar levels reached 91.50%, cholesterol levels reached 86.07%, and uric acid levels reached 89.33%. Real-time data transmission is carried out through the Adafruit IO platform, which was chosen for its accessibility and ease of integration. At the same time, a mobile application was developed using MIT App Inventor for user-friendly health data visualization. A preliminary Quality of Service (QoS) assessment showed an average data latency of 500–700 ms and a 97% transmission success rate via Wi-Fi. These results indicate that this device is reasonably practical and comfortable. However, several factors, such as skin thickness, finger position, and skin cleanliness, can affect the accuracy of the measurement results. Therefore, this tool cannot yet replace regular medical standards.

Abstract

Tahfeez, tahmeed, and prayer competitions that are routinely held by DPD Recital Alhidayah often experience obstacles in the assessment process due to the lack of a structured and computerized system, thereby reducing the efficiency and accuracy of assessment. This problem has become increasingly complex with a large number of participants and the absence of standard procedures in awarding scores. This research was conducted to develop a decision support system that can assist the judges in determining the winner of the competition objectively, efficiently, and transparently. The method used is the Borda Method, which is a rank-based decision-making method that is effective in accommodating the assessment of many judges and criteria. The system was built using the PHP programming language and MySQL database, and was designed with a quantitative approach through the processing of participant scores based on three main criteria: tajweed, fluency, and rhythm. The implementation of this system allows judges to conduct assessments digitally, where the grades given are automatically processed and ranked using the Borda Method. The results of the study show that this system can speed up the assessment process and announcement of the winner from the previous 4–5 days to instant after the input of the score is completed. This system also increases transparency, reduces subjectivity, and ensures consistency in scoring. Thus, this system becomes a relevant and applicable solution to support professionalism in religious competitions.

Abstract

KITA Driving Course, located in Kisaran, North Sumatra, faces challenges in maintaining service quality amidst increasing student enrollment. Despite operating since 2013, the institution lacks a structured, data-driven evaluation system to assess student satisfaction. This study applies a quantitative descriptive approach using the K-Means clustering algorithm to classify student satisfaction levels. Data were collected from 100 respondents through a questionnaire based on the five SERVQUAL dimensions: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. The K-Means algorithm grouped the satisfaction data into three categories: highly satisfied, satisfied, and dissatisfied. The majority of students were classified as satisfied (18 students), followed by highly satisfied (11 students), and dissatisfied (10 students). The findings indicate that the K-Means algorithm provides valuable insights into student satisfaction patterns, enabling targeted service improvements. The analysis also reveals that responsiveness and assurance were key areas of dissatisfaction, suggesting that instructor response time and safety assurance should be prioritized. These insights can help improve service strategies and can be adapted by other educational institutions for quality optimization through data analysis.

Abstract

This study evaluates the transient performance of a hydraulic Load Frequency Control (LFC) system configured with a single controller and without a governor. The analysis focuses on rise time, peak time, settling time, and overshoot, using various controllers including PI, PD, PID, PDF, and PIDF. Simulation results indicate that eliminating the governor significantly enhances system responsiveness and reduces overshoot, particularly when using the PDF controller. Quantitative analysis shows that the PDF controller achieves 85% faster rise time (0.101s vs 0.607s for P controller) and maintains system stability with minimal overshoot (1.765% for PID vs 59.263% for P controller). This configuration enables for a more direct and efficient control response to load fluctuations, improving system stability. Thus, employing a single controller without a governor presents a promising alternative for frequency regulation in hydraulic LFC systems under dynamic load conditions. The findings of this study offer valuable insights for optimizing controller selection and configuration in practical implementations, providing guidance for engineers and researchers to enhance grid reliability, operational efficiency, and stability in various real-world hydraulic power system scenarios.

Abstract

Corrosion in bridge girder beams frequently leads to significant structural damage, such as concrete spalling and reduced reinforcement, which directly impacts the bending capacity. This study experimentally assessed the efficacy of a combined repair strategy of grouting and Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) reinforcement on simulated damaged reinforced concrete beams. Twelve beams were tested with various repair configurations, including a standalone grouting repair and a combination of grouting with GFRP in strip and U-wrap configurations. The primary objective was to comprehensively evaluate the enhanced flexural capacity and failure modes of these repaired beams. The results indicated that GFRP reinforcement, particularly the U-wrap configuration, significantly improved the beams' flexural capacity. Beams with the GFRP U-wrap configuration achieved an average maximum load of 32.50 kN, surpassing the control beam's 29.74 kN by 9.27%. Conversely, a standalone grouting repair drastically decreased the load capacity to 14.49 kN, highlighting its inefficiency in strength restoration. Debonding failure at the grout-concrete interface was identified as the primary cause of this reduction. The U-wrap configuration outperformed the strip configuration, likely due to its enhanced shear resistance and confinement. The GFRP strain analysis showed linear behavior at low loads but significant deviations at higher loads, which indicates debonding. All beams exhibited a dominant flexural cracking failure mode, with the addition of GFRP reducing the number of cracks. In conclusion, the combined grouting and GFRP reinforcement, especially the U-wrap configuration, proved to be an effective strategy for repairing damaged RC beams. However, achieving strong adhesion between the repair materials and the concrete is crucial to prevent debonding and optimize structural performance. Further research on enhancing adhesion and optimizing GFRP configurations is recommended.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of variations in inlet velocity on fluid flow patterns at tee-junction pipe connections using numerical simulations based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The SimScale platform was used because it supports cloud-based processing and integration with OpenFOAM solvers. The tee connection model is designed in three dimensions, with the main and branch pipe dimensions each having a diameter of 100 mm. The merging process uses the parametric hexagonal method and local refinement in the joint area to accurately capture turbulent phenomena. Simulations were performed under incompressible and isothermal flow conditions with a standard k–ε turbulence model, using water fluid and the SIMPLE algorithm. The inlet velocity consists of 2 variations A (VI = 1 m/s, V2 = -1 m/s) and variation B (V1 = -1.5 m/s, V2 = -3 m/s). Simulation results show that increasing the inlet velocity results in a more turbulent flow, characterized by an increase in the turbulent kinematic viscosity, specific dissipation rate, and turbulent kinetic energy. Conversely, low velocities indicate higher pressure accumulation due to flow resistance. These findings indicate that inlet velocity variations significantly affect flow characteristics, requiring attention in system design to maintain long-term operational efficiency and reliability.
