Abstract

The achievement of learning targets is largely determined by how learning facilitates the needs of participants. Interest is one of the important points that teachers need to be aware of, especially in higher education environments to produce competent and resilient students (prospective teachers). The purpose of the research was to detect the interests of chemistry education students quantitatively and other themes that related to their lives. The quantitative approach was the method used in the study because it was in line with the data collection technique, namely the questionnaire technique with quantitative analysis. The results showed that the theme interest œeveryday life with the topic of food has the largest percentage, namely 86%, while the least theme was textile dyeing (58.30%) by chemical processes theme. Other additional themes revealed that social media (digital technologies) has 75.50% while teaching & learning and diversity have percentages of 64.70% and 59%, respectively. The conclusion was that detecting elements of interest in students could be supporting data for designing chemistry learning considering the changes in the mindset of the young generation due to digital culture. This research can also be used as a needs analysis in learning because a great interest in learning affects students™ academic performance. Research findings also give be a provision for students when they become teachers so that this research can be used in the school environment.

Abstract

One of the drawbacks of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) biodiesel is that it has high pour point which causes disadvantages in it™s use. North Sumatra is the second largest rubber producer in Indonesia, the use of rubber seeds as a bioadditive to reduce the pour point of CPO biodiesel is one of the right steps. The synthesis of rubber seed oil bioadditives is carried out in two processes; esterification process and transesterification process. This research aims to reduce the pour point of CPO biodiesel by mixing it with bioadditive of rubber seed oil. This study evaluated the effect of composition to find the best combination of biodiesel ratios in the mixture. The research results show that the greater the proportion of bioadditive rubber seed oil, the lower the pour point of the mixed biodiesel. Biodiesel with a low pour point is obtained at 10oC from mixing CPO biodiesel with bioadditive rubber seed oil at a composition of 75:25 and the optimal pour point is -7oC. Performance testing is carried out to differentiate fuel properties and fuel performance. The results show that B15 fuel produces the best performance at a maximum engine speed of 3000 rpm. In this round, a maximum power of 1.5708 kW was obtained, the lowest specific fuel consumption was 517.52 gr/kWh, thermal efficiency was 18.77%; the smallest CO content was 2.808%; HC 185 rpm; CO2 5.28%; NOx 4 ppm.
