Abstract

Water quality in public swimming pools affects human health. While changing the water too soon is wasteful, postponing changing the dirty water is not hygiene. In this paper, we propose an Internet of Things-based wireless system to monitor and predict water quality in public swimming pools. Our system utilizes an Arduino Uno, an ESP8266 ESP-01 WiFi module, a DS18B20 temperature sensor, a pH sensor, and a turbidity sensor. We predict the water quality using a data mining prediction model, namely the decision tree Iterative Dichotomiser 3 algorithm. We show by experiment that our sensor node and the wireless monitoring system work correctly. We also show by simulation using Weka that we can get 100% accuracy with a kappa statistical value of 1 and 0% error rate.

Abstract

Designing the form of the ship stern hull could have some impacts on the efficiency of ship propeller and the requirement of the ship speed. Therefore, stern hull form of a ship matched to its propeller and engine power is important consideration in preliminary ship design stage. The main objective of this study is to investigate ship performance by matching the stern hull shape to the propeller diameter and engine power toward high speed. This study was conducted by free running model test and Maxsurf Resistance application. The stern forms were employed U-shape and V-shape. In addition, the fixed pitch propeller (FPP) with three blades was used and the diameter is varied into three sizes 0.032 m, 0.040 m, and 0.048 m. The results show the increase of propeller diameter increases model’s speed for both U-shape and V-shape stern and the effect of the propeller diameter on the speed could be described by using the equations of second-order polynomial. The optimum propeller diameter could be determined taking into account stern hull form, stern shape, tip clearance, and proper speed where then propeller diameter related to draft is given by 0.79T with tip clearance 10%Dp for both U-shape and V-shape. The ship resistances of U-shape stern at Fr 0.221 and V-shape at 0.208 are obtained approximately 89.797 KN and 77.10 KN respectively. Furthermore, the powers of ship for both U-shape and V-shape at those Fr are obtained 904,374 KW and 726,807 KW respectively. Finally, the best stern hull form matched to propeller diameter and engine power is selected and given by U-shape stern.

Abstract

Most of the traditional wooden boats in Sinjai and Bone Districts were measured using the domestic measurement method, ship owners with sizes <GT 7 and <GT 30 refused to verify their vessels. Ship owners feel disadvantaged in terms of policies, permits, landing fees, subsidized fuel rations and so on. This study aims to determine the characteristics of the size and shape of traditional wooden ships, analyze and compare the results of the calculation of the gross tonnage (GT) of the ship which is calculated based on the actual size and shape of the ship (real body) with the ship calculated using domestic measurement methods and compiling mathematical equations in determining the value of the ship volume factor based on the main size to calculate the GT. The data processing method was carried out by using the Slovin technique with a population of 49 ship data for the determination of the minimum sample and then entered into the interval class. The results showed that the traditional wooden ships in Sinjai and Bone Regencies have geometric characteristics that are not much different from one another, but the main sizes are quite varied. The larger the main size of the ship, the greater the difference in GT calculations when using the volume factor value based on the domestic measurement method compared to using the volume factor value generated by real body calculations. The formula for the volume factor value (Cb or f) = 0.238 Log ((LBH)1/3) + 0.5134 can be used to determine the volume factor, especially for ships operating in the Sinjai and Bone Regencies as well as an initial reference for measurements by measuring experts ship so that moderate measurement results are obtained.

Abstract

Architecture involves the perception of the personal environment and the community in designing to be able to orient users. That perception became the basis for designers to design public buildings. The shopping center is one of the most visited public buildings and often orients and disorients its users. MTC Karebosi is one of the shopping centers in Makassar with the concept of providing primary, secondary, and electronic merchandise needs in one place. The need can be purchased wholesale and retail at affordable prices which makes it one of the alternatives for people to shop in Makassar. As a place to sell wholesale and retail merchandise, the retails laying arrangements are designed to the maximum possible to get a large number of retails in a limited area. As a result, the existing retail looks solid and similar to each other. Because of that, the situation between the corridors to the destination looks similar to each other. These conditions make visitors unable to mark the corridors that pass to the destination so that sometimes visitors experience disorientation. This research aims to determine factors related to the visitor's orientation and disorientation experience and uses survey methods. Data collection uses questionnaires as research instruments. The results revealed that factors related to orientation are spatial aspects, functional aspects, visual aspects, cognitive mapping, and behavior. Factors related to disorientation are spatial aspects, functional aspects, visual aspects, cognitive mapping, behavior, and internal individuals. However, there is one different factor that is the individual internal factor in the disorientation experience whereas orientation is not found. This is because internal factors such as fatigue make it easy for a person to forget and not concentrate so that they experience disorientation.

Abstract

ABR used to treat wastewater with high COD level such as livestock wastewater. ABR treatment consists of compartments which are limited by vertical bulkhead growth with attached bacteria. However, ABR treatment only capable degraded COD level by 50 – 53%. This value did not qualify to be discharged into the environment. Therefore, ABR treatment need further treatment with ozone treatment and aerobic activated sludge. There were two treatments in this study, which are ABR with ozone treatment and aerobic activated sludge (S1) and ABR with aerobic activated sludge (S2). COD degradation with ozone treatment showed low efficiency, 31.1 ± 1.5 % but BOD/COD level increased. Aerobic activated sludge with batch system showed efficiency of COD degradation as 95.3 ± 2.2 % (with ozone treatment) and 78.6 ± 4.5 % without ozone treatment. The final concentration effluent for livestock wastewater was 167.7 ± 62 mg/L. Aerobic activated sludge with continuous system was conducted to test that result and it average efficiency only decreased into 85%. This concentration was qualified to be discharged into environment.

Abstract

Three types of 6 monopoles array intelligent antennas was numerically and practically examined. The main purposes of the investigation is to guarantee that those designed antennas are feasible to implement and to install in a particular IoT based environmental surveillance network configuration. The basic differences of the three intelligent antennas lied on the frequency operations (i.e. 433 MHz, 875-915 MHz and 2.5 GHz) and the actual environment operations (whether for indoor or outdoor). The extreme differences of such frequency operations, of course, affecting the differences on the whole antenna physical dimension. The higher the frequency operation determined then the smaller the physical size of the designed antennas produced. However, the deep intelligent antenna evaluations presented in the paper is the one that operated on frequency band of 875 -915 MHz. The intelligent electronic part of six monopole wire elements arrayed on a circular ground plate was composed of LoRa chip module, Android Uno microcontroller, and the switching network part. The three parts determined whole antenna operation throughout the IoT network. The results of whole antenna examinations are thoroughly discussed in the paper.

Abstract

The subsidized gasoline conversion to LPG 3 kg in 2006 became the Indonesian Government’s policy to reduce reliance on fuel oil. The increasing LPG consumption and obstacle distribution have been the scarcity of the LPG in all regions of Indonesia. The gasoline fueled stove has overcome from the LPG scarcity. The purpose of this research was to compare the use of Gasoline types Pertalite and Pertamax with the use of LPG fuel. The research method was carried out by comparing the three types of fuel in the process of boiling 1 (one) litre of water using a gas stove, with several variations in pressure from 1.5 kPa to 2.5 kPa. The results showed that the highest fire temperature for Pertalite was 430 °C fuel, Pertamax 530 °C fuel and LPG 578 °C fuel. Fuel consumption for Pertalite 0,025 kg, Pertamax 0,027 kg and LPG 0,061 kg. The boiling time is 682 s for Pertalite, 669 s Pertamax and 503 s for LPG. The least compaction efficiency value occurs at 1.5 kPa pressure, for Pertalite 6,136 %, Pertamax 7,730 % and LPG 9,018 %. The higher the pressure, the greater the maturity efficiency, instead the fuel consumption and water boiling time are reduced. The cost used to boil water at Pertalite is Rp. 236,-; Pertamax Rp. 251,- and LPG is Rp. 309,-.
