Abstract

New power plants are urgently needed to support the needs of the community and industry in accordance with government regulations on the need for renewable energy sources. However, in its implementation, the construction of this new power plant is hampered by the absence of facilities and infrastructure, especially the technology that supports it, one of which is pre-operation activities. At this stage, it is necessary to test the generators that will be used in the plants. Generators are an important component in the electricity system. Meanwhile, research on generator testing is still rare, as are the tools that support the process of generator testing. This study aims to design a generator test tool so that this test can take place more effectively and efficiently. In general, the testing method uses a dummy load so that the load on the generator can be manipulated. With fuzzy logic control on dummy load control, the testing process can be done more optimally and can be monitored on a larger system. The results of this study showed current measurement with a maximum error of 1.64%, voltage measurement with a maximum error of 0.5%, frequency measurement with a maximum error of 0.4%, and a maximum control error of 5.7%. The automation system applied is still limited to monitoring electrical parameters.

Abstract

North Bandung is an area where there are several tourist attractions, including the Dago Dream Park. The main road to several locations in North Bandung is via the road in front of Terminal Dago. For this reason, the purpose of this study was to collect data on PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations at both locations, namely in front of Terminal Dago and Dago Dream Park. Data collection was carried out for seven days, from Monday to Sunday, from 08.00 to 16.00 local time. To evaluate air quality in these two places, the national standard, namely PPRI No. 22 of 2021 and international standards from WHO were applied. The measurement results show that the concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10 in these two locations are still within the national standard. Meanwhile, when evaluated with WHO standards, PM10 concentrations in both locations are still within standard, but for PM2.5, there are several days where the air quality is out of the standard. The average concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10 during the 7 days of measurement at Terminal Dago are 19.9 μg/m3 and 21.6 μg/m3, respectively. While the average concentration of PM2.5 and PM10 during 1 week of data collection were 18.9 μg/m3 and 19.9 μg/m3, respectively. This means that the concentration of PM2.5 and PM10 at Terminal Dago is slightly higher than that of at Dago Dream Park. In addition, based on an evaluation using national standards, Dago Dream Park tourist attractions still have good air quality and are safe for local residents and tourists. From the data recorded at the Health Centre (Puskesmas), the number of ARI cases in the two locations in 2020 and 2021 is relatively not much different.

Abstract

The classroom is one of the important facilities in teaching and learning activities. Just like any other room, ensuring thermal comfort becomes a vital aspect for its occupants. This study aims to evaluate environmental conditions and the thermal comfort experienced by classroom occupants through numerical methods. The evaluation involves the integration of the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) and Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied (PPD) equations into Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations using a user-defined function. Furthermore, extensive field measurements and questionnaire surveys are also employed to support the simulation process. The results indicate that the air temperature tends to be high, reaching 30.91°C. Meanwhile, the air velocity within the room, particularly in the occupied areas, is significantly low, with an average value of 0.04 m/s. According to the ASHRAE Standard 55, the classroom is perceived as uncomfortable, as evidenced by a PMV value of 1.38 and a PPD of 44.94%. Therefore, efforts are required to enhance the thermal comfort in the space.

Abstract

In this paper, a numerical study of the aerodynamic characteristics using the CFD method of the two-dimensional flow around NACA 0012 and NACA 4412 airfoils at -10 degrees to 25 degrees of angle of attack operating at Re 170000 is presented. The formation of flow patterns, pressure distribution, pressure coefficient (Cp), lift coefficient (Cl), drag coefficient (Cd), moment coefficient (Cm), and skin friction coefficient distribution along the chord The Y+ wall value curve is a validation that the mesh formation is in accordance with the requirements, i.e., a Y+ wall value below 10 for viscous dominant flows and for Spalart-Allmaras turbulent model viscous. The geometry of NACA 0012 and NACA 4412 airfoils is created using SolidWork, and CFD analysis is carried out using Ansys Workbench 2018. The results show that the stall condition at NACA 0012 is at 15 degrees of angle of attack, while at NACA 4412 it is at 16 degrees. Under stall conditions, Cl of NACA4412 is approximately 13 percent higher than NACA 0012, while the value of Cd shows almost the same value for both NACA 0012 and NACA 4412.

Abstract

The decaffeination of robusta coffee can be done through fermentation with a crude enzyme containing bromelain enzyme from pineapple. The study aims to determine the activity of the bromelain enzyme by the Kunitz method, the effect of fermentation time and crude enzyme concentration on the decaffeination process, and the characteristics of coffee before and after fermentation using FTIR. The fermentation time was varied from 6 to 36 hours and the crude enzyme concentration was varied from 10 to 80%. The activity of the bromelain enzyme was 36 U/ml. Fermentation time affects the decaffeination process, wherein the longer the fermentation time from 6 hours to 36 hours obtained caffeine content from 2.39% to 0.07%. Besides that, the crude enzyme concentration affects the decaffeination process, which obtained the lowest caffeine content or percent decaffeination at the crude extract concentration of 80% (v/v). FTIR results showed that the decaffeination process affected the reduction of caffeine in coffee samples. It can be shown from the increase in the %T value of the C-N functional group from 40.731 to 54.85.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the concentration of cabbage waste and fermentation time on the caffeine content reduction of Arabica coffee from Pangalengan. Decaffeination is carried out using a wet fermentation method using protease enzyme activity produced by lactic acid bacteria from cabbage waste. Protease enzymes can break down the slime layer on coffee beans so that caffeine is decomposed through the esterification process to become chlorogenic acid. Fermentation was carried out anaerobically in a fermenter with a capacity of ± 2L with a fermentation time of 72 hours and sampling every 6 hours. The concentration of cabbage waste ranged from 10-80% (w/w). Arabica coffee beans were tested for caffeine content (%) using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. According to the study's findings, the caffeine level decreases as the concentration of cabbage waste increases. Meanwhile, the caffeine level decreases as fermentation time increases. The addition of 80% concentration of cabbage waste with 48 hours of fermentation time produced the optimum results for the Arabica coffee decaffeination process. This method achieved a decaffeination efficiency of more of 96% and met the quality standards outlined in SNI 01-3542-2004.

Abstract

The production process in the urea fertilizer industry produces wastewater with a very high ammonia content, which exceeds the quality standards for fertilizer wastewater. Therefore, it is necessary to treat urea fertilizer wastewater, which has a high ammonia content. One of the technologies that can be used to treat this type of wastewater is the Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) technology. The SBR technology was chosen because it only requires one reactor for the entire process, in which in conventional activated sludge systems it occurs in several reactors. Shock loading often occurs in wastewater treatment plants, including both organic shock loads and hydraulic shock loads. The waste used in the SBR operation in this research is urea fertilizer wastewater originating from a urea fertilizer industry in West Java, Indonesia. The parameters to be tested were COD, MLVSS, DO, pH, temperature, turbidity, and ammonia concentration. The results showed that the efficiency of reducing ammonia levels under normal loading with a flow rate of 300 mL/day was 99.5%, whereas when given a shock load of 600 mL/day, an efficiency of 98% was obtained. This proves that SBR can handle shock loads even though its efficiency slightly decreases.

Abstract

One of the formed fats that is attracting attention as an alternative to trans-fat is oleogel. Oleogels can be formed using edible and non-edible vegetable oils, depending on the desired application. In this study, we used an emulsion-template approach with three oil systems: canola oil, sunflower oil, and castor oil, and combined hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and xanthan gum (XG) as oleogelators in specific ratios to form oleogel. Stable oleogels were formed when both oleogelators were present in the system. The oil binding capacity of the oleogel with respect to the amount of oil loss varied from less than 5% to more than 30%, depending on oil saturated fatty acid composition and HPMC:XG ratio. Higher saturated fatty acid concentration in the oil strengthens the oleogel matrix and reduces the oil loss rate. High HPMC composition and low XG composition reduce the oil binding ability of oleogels. In oleogel systems, HPMC acts as an emulsifier and XG acts as a thickener, resulting in a lower-than-average XG concentration and a thinner gel. Although the structure and color of oleogels are very stable over 28 days of storage, the rate of oxidation still needs to be minimized. Heating the oleogel system and the presence of aqueous phase can accelerate the oxidation of the oleogel, which can shorten its shelf-life and limit its applications, especially in the food industry.

Abstract

The processing of limestone through the combustion process will cause air pollution at the combustion site and its surroundings. At the limestone processing site, Padalarang experiences relatively high air pollution. PM2.5 is one of the main pollutants produced by limestone burning, so it is very necessary to study the concentration of PM2.5 in the air in Padalarang and its surroundings. This study was conducted in Padalarang and its surroundings, where data collection was carried out in five locations, namely at the center of limestone burner, 1 km, 2 km, 3 km, and 4 km to the east of the burning center. Data collection was carried out for ten days, where each data collection was carried out for 12 hours, from 07.00 to 19.00. Based on the national standard of PPRI No. 22 of 2021, which is 55 µg/m3, the concentration in the limestone burning center and 1 km from burning center have exceeded the standard, which is 82.5 and 69.3 µg/m3. While PM2.5 concentrations at distances of 2 km, 3 km, and 4 km are below the national standard, namely 52.0, 51.6 and 50.2 µg/m3, respectively. Based on the Air Quality Index (AQI), the AQI at the burning center, distance of 1 km, 2 km, 3 km, and 4 km are Unhealthy, Unhealthy, Moderate, Moderate and Moderate, respectively. This means that areas less than 1 km away are not healthy places to live. The poor air quality in Padalarang is reflected in the much higher number of ARI cases compared to the surrounding sub-districts that do not have a limestone industry.
