Abstract

At this time the government prohibits the use of antibiotics in animal feed as an Antibiotic and Growth Promoter (AGP), so an effective and safe immunomodulator and herbal growth stimulant product are needed through Meniran extract products (Phyllanthus niruri) and chemicals in the market are not yet optimal as immunomodulators and growth stimulants. CV. Maxipro Agrosatwa which is engaged in veterinary medicine, wholesale trade of agricultural products, and other live animals will produce feed using Meniran extract products. Extraction equipment that is needed is a Rotary vacuum evaporator. This equipment is needed to separate the solvent from the solute without high heating which will damage the solute content. The vacuum condition in the flask is to make the separation more efficient as well as accelerate the separation of the solvent from a solution by reducing the boiling point. The rotation of the flask is to increase evaporation. The complexity of this equipment is what makes CV. Maxipro Agrosatwa cannot handle it alone and requires technical assistance from the Department of Mechanical Engineering (Jurusan Teknik Mesin-JTM) FT UNS. Technical assistance provided by JTM FT UNS is in the form of procurement, delivery, installation, operation, and maintenance of the rotary vacuum evaporator.

Abstract

In this study, fatigue testing of fiber metal composites was carried out to determine the rate of crack propagation so that the age of the fiber metal composite specimen was known. The independent variable in this research is the angular orientation of the carbon fiber and the surface roughness of the aluminium with the dependent variable response is the bridge crack rate. The manufacture of fiber metal laminates specimens uses the Vacuum Assist Resin Infusion (VARI) method, which uses a vacuum pump as a means to flow the resin from the reservoir to the mold. Fatigue testing is performed using the stress amplitude method. That is, the value of the load when the tensile test is one third of the tensile strength. After the fatigue test was carried out, the results were obtained on specimens with an angular orientation of 0/90° fibers, the crack propagation rate slowed down with a cycle value of 90,000 in specimens with a surface roughness value of 2.128 µm then decreased cycles on specimens with a value of 2.887 µm, namely 11,000 cycles.

Abstract

Natural fiber reinforced composites is one material potentially developing in Indonesia. One of biggest problem with composites specimen is its void. One property to find out void of composites is composites density value. The objective of research is to investigate the effect of fiber alkali NaOH treatment and Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) addition on density value of cantala fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester composites. Firstly, cantala fibers was submerged into alkali NaOH 6% solution for 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 hours. Furthermore, the fiber was washed using acetid acid and then using clean water to reach pH 7. Thereafter, cantala fiber was dried in the oven for 10 hours at temperature 60 ℃. Composites was composed of cantala fiber, unsaturated polyester polymer matrix, and microcrystalline cellulose according to the composition with volume fraction 30%. Composites was casted using compression molding method with compressive strength of 10 MPa for 12 hours. The result of research showed that the longer the alkali treatment time and the more addition of Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) filler, the higher is the composites density. The higher density value of cantala fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester is alkali treatment six hours, which was 1.223 gr/cm3.

Abstract

The operation of dust suppressor and dust collector was operating semi-manually by pressing the power button on the local panel during the initial unloading of coal material from the barge or stockpile, where local operators manage several large areas. This research is carried out on the implementation of Automatic Dust Detector for Dust Suppression operational at Paiton Unit 9 power plants with the aim of increasing the efficiency of operator and equipment performance. We use House of Quality (HOQ) as a determinant of the priority scale for technical response to be implemented, namely the addition of an Automatic Dust Detector. The results obtained showed a decrease in the calculation of the dust suppression operating time, i.e. from 5 hour 54 minutes to 5 hour 6 minutes, from 1005.36 L/barge to 869.04 L/barge for water consumption, and 1 L/barge to 0.86 L/barge for chemical use. Furthermore, the implementation of the Automatic Dust Detector can significantly increase efficiency at least 15% from operating time difference.

Abstract

The inconsistency of the wind flow considered as one of the factors which tend to decrease the performance of the wind turbine. This paper proposes a further analysis of the initial rotation characteristic of a hybrid Savonius-Darrieus wind turbine. The addition of the Darrieus blade intends to increase the aerodynamic stability of the overlapping Savonius turbine. This study implements 2D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) transient analysis using the six Degrees of Freedom (DOF) methods in 0°, 30°, 60°, and 90° Darrieus blade position along with 2, 4, and 6 m/s wind speed variations. The results of the aerodynamic analysis show that the location of the Darrieus 30° turbine provides the greatest initial repulsion, especially when the turbine rotation is above 90°, the position of the Darrieus blade can provide additional impulse force when the Savonius turbine tends to be passive. This effect occurs more significant at higher wind speeds. Savonius with 3-blade modification has a more stable level of force distribution than the 2-blade modification, although the value is smaller. This shows that the 3-blade Savonius provide a higher stability of angular velocity development.

Abstract

This research is based on obtaining the best possible aerodynamic performance for the Quickster Narasena Bengawan UV Team Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) aircraft wing design. One factor that significantly affects the flying version of a UAV is the wing. The Quickster Narasena UAV aircraft wing uses an MH33 airfoil because MH33 is specifically for high-speed UAV aircraft. This research will compare the performance of a branch without a vortex generator with addition with a vortex generator. This study will also discuss variations in the positioning of the vortex generator on the wing of the Quickster Narasena UAV. The method used in this research is the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method. The simulation process will use the ANSYS Fluent 19.0 application with the K-Omega Shear Stress Transform (SST) method with the Reynolds-Averaged-Navier-Stokes (RANS) equation as the basis. This study aims to obtain the results of the coefficient of drag, lift, and the contour of the turbulence that will occur. The simulation results that have been done are the geometry of the wing with the addition of a vortex generator can reduce the drag coefficient and can increase the lift coefficient.

Abstract

In this study, we discuss a case where the installation of a belt conveyor, which was initially only one line, was then made a new branch that supplies coal to other power generating units. Equitable capacity distribution and continuity of coal distribution are the main focus of this study. Therefore, an automatic control system of coal flow divider on belt conveyor installation was designed. The working principle of this coal flow splitting system is to control the movement of the straight blade plow that directs the flow of coal to each unit at a particular time and continuously. Straight blade plows in the form of steel metal plate with a thickness of about 10 mm in which one end is connected to the end of the pneumatic cylinder. The automatic control system of the coal flow divider in belt conveyor installation was designed using CX-Programmer and CX-Designer applications. CX-Programmer serves to create automatic control logic concepts. While the CX-designer functions to create a Human Machine Interface (HMI). The results of this study are in the form of control logic lines that can be applied to Programmable Logic Control (PLC) devices and Human Machine Interface (HMI) equipment.
