Abstract

Abstract In this study, the local heat transfer coefficient of boiling and condensation were obtained by an experimental set up using vertical stainless-steel type brazed plate heat exchanger. A series of 8 vertical brazed plates are used as the major components of the test section of experimental set up and are fabricated into layers so that flow channels are formed between the plates through which water and refrigerants are flowing through. The experiments are carried out at the mass flux of 10, 20 and 50 kg/(m2žs). In order to measure the local heat transfer coefficient, flat stainless-steel plates of 10 mm in thickness are installed attached to the vertical plates onto which the thermocouples are positioned to measure the temperature distributions at the surface of the plates. By performing the experiment, the direction of the heat flux across the plate tends to deviate downward especially at the lower part of the plate due to the non-uniform temperature distributions across the plate. The results are analyzed and validated at the mass flux of 10 kg/(m2žs) by the aid of the simulation tool by using ANSYS FLUENT 19.1 to estimate the local heat transfer coefficient and the heat flux across the plate. The analysis result shows that the simulation model can assist to track the deviation of the direction of the heat flow from the horizontal direction across the plate and the experimental results of the local heat transfer coefficient have similar trends with that of the simulation results.

Abstract

To develop seaplanes as a means of inter-island transportation, it is necessary to have a simulation, testing, and analysis of force measurements that work so that the aircraft can be designed optimally in terms of function and safety. To fulfill one type of test, the seaplane floater model is pulled in the Towing Tank to determine the hydrodynamic forces acting on the floater which include resistance (Fx), side force (Fy), lift force (Fz), and moments in all three axes. A method of measuring the force of 6 axis force and moment or 6 degrees of freedom (6 Degree of Freedom, 6 DOF) was built and designed by combining several single load cells so that these forces can be known optimally. From the results of the 6 DOF transducer design, it is proven that it can be used well in measuring 6 forces and moments with force measurement errors ranging from 1.38%. The distance between the 6 DOF transducer capture point and the floater force capture point will affect the measured moment transformation.

Abstract

This paper deals with multimodal reduction of structural elastic vibrations. Super absorbent polymer beads (SAP beads) have been introduced as a simple damping device inspired by the multimodal vibration reduction effect by passengers on railway vehicles. A series of vibration measurement tests using a 1:10 scale model of railway vehicle floor structure (model underframe) was carried out. The SAP beads which are sold commonly as water retention agent were stacked in a container and applied to the model underframe. From the experiments, multimodal vibration reduction effects have been demonstrated. A drastic difference has been observed when water was added together with SAP beads. To investigate the basic mechanism of the damping effect obtained by the experiments, an analytical model, which consists of multiple masses that are supported at an angle to each other, and its simplified model was proposed and numerical studies were conducted. Some specific combinations of the mass, spring, and damping elements in the model could express the experimental results well, and it has been estimated from the numerical results that each SAP layer act as an un-uniform subsystem.

Abstract

The golden age of the oil business in Indonesia is over and now petroleum is even a burden. As oil producing countries prepare themselves to start the second phase of the golden era of oil, Indonesia is heading towards an era of energy crisis (Indirasardjana, 2014). Renewable energy is needed as an alternative to meet the community's fuel needs. Beach sand is one material that can be used to help the biomass gasification process. Small particles of sand are filled into a container and gas is flowed from below and suppresses the flow of each particle which is useful for the biomass decomposition process. When using beach sand, we can also utilize heat energy optimally in coastal areas to make gasification reactions easier. This study aims to examine the groups contained in the TMS (Tetramethylsilan) spectrum of the beach sand filtrate fluid by paying attention to the CH3 compounds which are arranged in TMS. FTIR test results show that the beach sand filtrate fluid gives an illustration that from wavelengths of 3000 to 3500 the sharpness of the amount of nitrogen and hydrogen in the sand beach filtrate liquid solution can be used as ammonia gas (a fuel). Nitrogen and Hydrogan when bound with Hydroxide will form ammonium hydroxide which can function as a fuel (heating).

Abstract

The complex pore structure with nano-pores of shale gas reservoirs has an impact on the hydrocarbon storage and transport systems. We examined the pore structure of the shales of the Ranikot Formation in the Lower Indus Basin, Pakistan to investigate the full scaled pore size distributions by using a combination of techniques, mercury injection capillary pressure analysis and low pressure gas adsorption methods using N2 and CO2. Isotherm curves obtained N2 and CO2 adsorptions were interpreted using density functional theory analysis for describing the nano-scaled pore size distributions. The pore geometry of the shales was estimated to be slit-type from the isotherm hysteresis loop shape. The pore size distributions determined the density functional theory showed the dominant pore size of below around 10 nm. The Micro-scale effects such as slippage and adsorption/desorption also significantly influence the gas flow in nano-pore structure. The gas flow regimes in shales are classified into four types Darcy flow, slip flow, transition flow, Knudsen flow based on the value of the Knudsen number. Applying the specific reservoir conditions in Ranikot shale and pore size distribution to the Knudsen number, the gas flow regimes of the Ranikot shales were estimated mostly within the transition and slip flow.

Abstract

Speaking of prisoners on mini-submarines is certainly different Fnom the type of surface vessels in general. This is related to differences in the shape of the sub's hull when compared to surface ship. In addition to differences in the shape of the hull, the difference in the operational area of ​​the ship is also different, where the submarine's hull operates at full water depth, while the surface ship the ship hull partly operates at sea level. If the submarine model is tested then the value of the coefficient of resistance will be very different. Where the component of the coefficient of resistance (CT) consists of the coefficient of Fniction (CF), form factor (1+K), and Correlate Allowance (CA). Because the hull shape is different Fnom the surface ship, then the hull form factor coefficient is the focus of this study. The prediction of the hull form factor can be searched using the PROHASKA method. Where this method is done using a mini-submarine model test. By the known value of the hull form factor, then it can be used to find the value of the coefficient of resistance and can know the resistance of the ship

Abstract

Seam 14 is one of coal prospects owned by PT Alamjaya Bara Pratama (PT ABP) with an estimated coal resources of ±4,022,458.63 tons which is will be produced in 2020 so that required a pit and mine sequence design used as a guideline in carrying out coal production activities. On the other hand, the uncertainty of coal prices caused the mine sequence design to be evaluated within a certain time as the coal reference price (HBA) was altered and company’s production target. The model equation of coal reference price prediction in 2020 was carried out by using multiple linear regression method. Based on that model, prediction of coal reference price was obtained in CW 1 = $80.21, CW 2 = $81.47 and CW 3 = $82.50. The Pit 14 was designed with the consideration of company's geotechnical recommendation which is can be achieved on the conditions of stripping ratio (SR) of 6 and 7. The mine sequence was designed base on the evaluation of coal production in 2019 (CW 1 = SR > 3, CW 2 = 3 ≤ SR ≤ 6 and CW 3 = SR > 6). The calculation results of estimated revenue of Pit 14 with SR = 6 is CW 1 = US$40,131,297.12; CW 2 = US$36,431,457.31; and CW 3 = US$19,601,965.40. Estimated revenue of Pit 14 with SR = 7 is CW 1 = US$41,821,080.50; CW 2 = US$39,204,128.39; and CW 3 = US$31,715,767.60.
