Abstract

The world's rapid population growth, technological progress, and industrialization lead to an increase in fossil energy demand such as oil, coal, and natural gas. It is feared that this could lead to a scarcity of fossil energy in the future, therefore the use of alternative energy must be considered. One interesting concept to develop is waste to energy by utilizing plastic waste and also tires on vehicles. This is very possible because the two wastes contain elements of hydrocarbons which are also contained in fossil fuels so they can be processed to become alternative energy which can simultaneously reduce the population of the waste due to the increase in the world's population. This study aims to investigate the thermal behavior of scrap tires (ST) and polypropylene (PP) plastic using thermogravimetry analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). TGA thermogram showed that the feedstock samples were degraded in the temperature range of 331,97 oC to 448,08 oC. The interpretation of the DSC thermogram that showing information about the glass transition point and the melting point of the feedstock polymer will also be presented in this study.

Abstract

Electrical vehicle is the future of transportation. This thesis is about how to transform the usage of fossil fuel vehicle to electrical vehicle in Bali. Bali is an island with the longest distance from one of its districts to Denpasar city is 95,6 km. This distance is reachable by the common electrical vehicle that available in the market now. The usage of the electrical vehicle requires good development and planning, otherwise it will cause problem for the electrical systems. The consumption of electrical energy will increase.  In 2019, Bali used 5,908 GWh electricity in a year. And if all the 2 wheels and 4-wheels vehicles now are electrical vehicle, it will require extra 2,823 GWh per year. It will impact the planning of power generation in Bali.Another challenge for the electrical systems is the duck curve problem. The habit of the user charges their vehicle will also impact the daily load curve of an electrical systems. If all the two wheels and four wheels vehicles now are electrical vehicle, and all   users conduct the charging at the same time in 4 hours duration, the load will increase about 1,934 GW. The practical and applicable solution is the independent power producer concept by the solar PV. If every electric vehicle user installs the solar PV for their electrical vehicle consumption, this will solve all the problem.

Abstract

Water electrolysis is a method that utilizes direct electric current to decompose water into O2 and H2. The productivity of hydrogen produced in the electrolysis of water is low. One of the main reasons for the low electrolysis efficiency of water is the resistance of the electrode material. The electrode that is often used in the electrolysis of water is a graphite electrode. The coating on graphite electrodes can be a solution to minimize material degradation at the electrodes. With the condition that the coating material is able to slow down the damage to graphite electrodes and is a good electrical conductor. In this study, we used polycarbonate material as a material for coating the electrodes. The polycarbonate material that will be used is obtained from electrical waste, namely CD-R. The polycarbonate was separated mechanically and then ground to a powder with a size of 400 m. Polycarbonate powder will be coated on the cathode surface by the thermal coating method. Polycarbonate contains Bisphenol A compound which has an aromatic ring. The presence of a magnetic field caused by the delocalization of electrons in aromatic compounds will affect the hydrogen bonding in water. The positively charged surface charge of Bisphenol-A-Polycarbonate is able to reduce the acidity of the solution and accelerate the decomposition reactions of H2 and O2 by the water electrolysis method. Bisphenol-A-Polycarbonate coating is a good inhibitor for graphite electrodes. Coated graphite electrodes have a lower corrosion rate than pure or uncoated graphite electrodes. The layer inhibits the degradation of the material caused by electrochemical events during the water electrolysis process. Bisphenol-A-Polycarbonate (BPA) layer, which acts as an inhibitor and a catalyst simultaneously during the water electrolysis reaction, causes hydrogen production to increase.

Abstract

In producing hydrogen, various methods can be used, one of which is the electrolysis of water. Electrolysis is a method for breaking water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen by using an electric current. Electrolysis does not require complicated equipment and systems, so it can be said to be the easiest method of producing hydrogen. But of the various methods for producing hydrogen, the electrolysis method is not widely used because of its low efficiency. Because of this, many efforts have been made with the aim of increasing hydrogen production in the electrolysis of water. In this paper, we use Bisphenol-A-Polycarbonate (BPA) compounds obtained from unused CD-R layers. BPA has aromatic compounds that have been tested by FTIR. Aromatic compounds can generate their own magnetic field; this magnetic field is used to disrupt hydrogen bonds in water so that the electrolysis process can be more optimal. It is also known that, on the surface of BPA, it has a tendency to be positively charged by FESEM testing. The predominantly positive BPA surface works effectively to attract OH- ions. This causes a lot of H+ ions to move freely so that the solution becomes more acidic, which results in easier mobility of electric currents. With the addition of 3 grams of BPA, it can produce 46% more ppm of hydrogen than conventional.

Abstract

CNC Milling machine is a machine that is widely used for the manufacture of a component. Product quality will be related to product selling value and consumer satisfaction, therefore the best parameters must be known in order to produce quality products. This study aims to determine the effect of the cutting direction on the structure and surface roughness of the pocket feeding CNC Milling machining process. Experimental methods are used to improve the quality of products produced by CNC Milling machines. The parameters used in this study are variations of spindle speed 500 rpm, 1900 rpm, and 5000 rpm, as well as variations of cutting direction, namely one way and zig-zag. The tests carried out are in the form of surface roughness testing, micro-structure observations, and macro-structures. The data analysis technique used is descriptive statistics. The results obtained are the use of the cutting direction parameter affects the quality of the resulting product in the form of structure and surface roughness. The zig-zag cutting direction parameter with spindle speed 5000 rpm obtained the lowest average surface roughness value of 0.87 μm, while the one way cutting direction with spindle speed 500 rpm obtained the highest average roughness value of 2,84 μm. In conclusion, using a higher spindle speed will result in a lower roughness value, while the zig-zag cutting direction produces a lower roughness value and a more even surface structure compared to one way cutting direction.
