Abstract

The substrate is an important factor for efficient electricity production in Microbial Fuel Cell systems. The substrate is an organic compound that promotes the growth of active microbes. The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of substrate type and concentration on the bioelectricity produced by a single-chamber MFC. Fructose and butyric acid were used as substrates and carbon felt used as an electrode. Types and variations in substrate concentration were applied to the soil media used in the MFC. After 3 weeks of incubation, the optimum power density value achieved by MFC with 90 g/L fructose substrate was 20.5 mW/m2. Whereas, MFC treated with 800 mg/L butyric acid produced a maximum power density of 19.7 mW/m2.Keywords: Substrate, Fructose, Butyric acid, Power density, Microbial Fuel Cell.

Abstract

Modeling, simulation and extraction of model parameters of four DSSCs was carried out using four different models. The results show that model parameters depend on of the types of models and dyes (or DSSCs). Also, the fewer the number of model parameters the lesser the computation efforts and knowledge about the internal features of the photovoltaic system and vice versa. In addition, the photocurrent Iph of a DSSC is constant for all models. Furthermore, the diode reverse saturation current Io is inversely proportional to the absolute values of the series resistance Rs and shunt resistance Rsh. Moreover, the modified diode ideality factor depends on the number of model parameters and nature of dye/DSSC. However, models with higher number of model parameters (4 and 5) involving resistances manifest parameter irregularity. Nevertheless, the negative sign or complexity of the model parameters does not render them undesirable elements for researchers to use them in their application. Thus, the overall result shows that all the models used produced good I-V curve fit for all the solar cells studied irrespective of the presence of parameter irregularity.Keywords: Modeling, Simulation, Model parameter, DSSCs, Single diode model, Parameter irregularity.

Abstract

System failure in nuclear reactors can cause degradation of a reactor core, allowing melting and relocation of the corium to the lower plenum in the nuclear reactor system. In this study, a severe accident simulation was carried out using the Moving Particle Semi-Implicit (MPS) method. In this method, we model the relocation of molten corium on the reactor core (support plate) to the lower plenum for several conditions with variations: corium material, lower plenum conditions, temperature, viscosity, and density. Those treatments were carried out in order to be able to compare and analyze the characteristics of the corium melt by reviewing the velocity profiles. The formation of a corium pool and debris bed can result in significant temperature differences and high heat flux against the walls of the reactor vessel, causing a decrease in the integrity of the reactor vessel and reactor failure.Keywords: Corium, Uranium Dioxide (UO2), Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO2), Fluid Relocation, Moving Particle Semi-Implicit (MPS).

Abstract

SARS-CoV-2, also known as, Covid-19 is an almost globally endemic disease that has infected hundreds of millions of people and caused ongoing deaths. Researchers are still trying to search for effective drugs against Covid-19. Currently, with the development of science and technology, the process of drug discovery through simulated environments is becoming increasingly accurate and yielding rapid results. The protease crystal structure of Covid-19 plays a crucial role in viral replication and represents promising primary targets for antiviral drug discovery and therapy. Lavender and N3 compound ligands were used as test ligands. A total of 9 lavender ligand compounds were subjected to testing using the molecular docking method. Molecular docking aims to achieve the optimal conformation of both the protein and ligand, as well as the relative orientation between them. The analysis conducted during molecular docking includes the determination of the inhibition constant and the study of interactions between the protein and ligand.Keywords: Covid-19, docking, N3, ligand

Abstract

In this study, density functional theory (DFT) within generalized gradient approximation (GGA) as implemented in Quantum ESPRESSO package has been employed. The structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of single Vanadium atom (V)-doped germanene monolayer have been investigated. The doping is carried out in 2x2x1 supercell with 32 atoms which gives around 3.12% doping concentration. The results revealed that single V atom doped Germanene monolayer induced both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic behavior with total magnetic moment of about 0.77 μB and 1.95 μB respectively. Also the behavior of the pristine germanene remains unaffected by the single V doping. The stability of the doped system are investigated by calculating cohesive and binding energies. These results are in good agreement with many reported results in case of both graphene and silicene. It’s also suggested that, the single V-doped germanene monolayer can support the quantum anomalous Hall effect, which has significant potential for spintronic applications.Keyword: Density Functional Theory (DFT), Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA), Structural, Electronic and Magnetic Properties, Doping, Germanene Monolayer

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic, first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019, has rapidly spread to various countries, including India and Indonesia. This study utilizes data from the cumulative cases in India and Indonesia, espand specific provinces within Indonesia, such as DKI Jakarta and Gorontalo, spanning a period of approximately two years. The proposed method incorporates factors such as expected recovery and mortality rates to determine the maximum daily growth, which deviates from exponential growth and tends towards stability or decline. RStudio software was employed to estimate future trends based on the current available data. The results indicate that Indonesia, Jakarta, and Gorontalo exhibit a sloping average growth rate over the past 30 days, while India demonstrates linear movement compared to the previous period. A 20% increase in growth rate in Jakarta leads to a significant rise in new cases compared to the other regions. Conversely, a 0% growth rate reduction in India and Gorontalo results in a notable deviation of cumulative case numbers from the actual data. This method can be applied to analyze similar problems if in the future there is another spread of pandemic diseases.Keywords: COVID-19, Iteration Method, Exponential Growth, Gorontalo and DKI Jakarta.

Abstract

This study deals with the analysis and the solution of incubation period in a disease model by adopting the mathematical model with incubation period of diseases and the mathematical model without the incubation period of diseases. In the model equations, we partitioned the population into Susceptible (S), Incubated (I), Infected (D) population. We have compared the model equations without incubation period with the model equation with incubation period by solving and incorporating the system of first order linear equations into fourth order Runge-kutta method which has better error accuracy for solving first order equations. Graphical results for incubation class show that the infectious diseases were fatal if immediate attention is not given to endemic villages and communities.Keywords: SID Model, Incubation period, Runge-kutta method, numerical simulation, transmission.

Abstract

Indonesia possesses significant geothermal potential, with the largest share located in West Java, accounting for up to 21.7% distributed across 44 locations in 11 regencies. One such location with geothermal potential is in Block Ciasmara Sector II, the Mount Salak area, Bogor Regency, characterized by manifestations such as hot spring bathing pools. This research aims to understand the distribution of geothermal reservoirs in the study area, where these reservoirs contain hot fluids that can be harnessed for renewable energy generation. The methodology used in this research involves a correlation between the Active Directory Magnetotelluric (ADMT) and Self-Potential (SP) methods. A total of 3 ADMT measurements were conducted along tracks ranges from 5-8 meters, while the SP method involved 7 measurement points with coordinates distributed around the geothermal manifestations in the Mount Salak area. The data obtained were then visualized in 2D and 3D to gain insights into the distribution and orientation of the reservoir layers in the study area. The results indicate a correlation between the ADMT and Self-Potential methods. In Line 01 of the ADMT, located in the western part, there is a correlation with high potential difference values on the SP map ranges from 47.6-82.1 mV, suggesting the presence of tuff layers rich in alteration minerals. This is confirmed by the 2D ADMT modeling, which shows that the clay cap is thicker compared to Line 02 and Line 03, associated with the presence of alteration minerals in the clay cap. This correlation also applies to Line 03, which has low potential difference values ranges from 4.9-25.3 mV, indicating a response from lapilli rocks. This is corroborated by the 2D model, which reveals thickening of the lapilli rock layer on Line 03.Keywords: ADMT, Geothermal, Mount Salak, Reservoir, Self-Potential.

Abstract

Asbestos conventionally used as frictional materials in brake pads causes environmental pollution and is unsafe for human health. This study’s goal was to assess alternative brake pads made from sisal-palm slag. Ten composite brake pads were produced by combining sisal-palm slag with epoxy resin, silica and steel slag using formulations obtained from the rule of mixture experimental design method. The produced brake pad composites physical properties (density (ρ), porosity (φ) and tribo-mechanical properties (wear rate (Ŵ), hardness (HB), compressive strength (σ) were evaluated. From the results, the control sample (Auto-boss brake pad) recorded values of 1.7800 g/cm3, 18%, 1.127 mg/min, 110BHN and 43.204N/mm2 for ρ, φ, Ŵ, HB and σ respectively. The best performing sample was sample 5 with recorded values of 1.3329 g/cm3, 23.40%, 1.143mg/min, 102.28BHN and 39.642 N/mm2 respectively, while sample 9 was the least performing samples with recorded values of 1.3123 g/cm3, 30.43%, 1.571mg/min, 76.77BHN and 26.74 N/mm2 for the above parameters respectively. The study showed that the produced samples offered comparable performance to that of asbestos-based and hence could serve as possible replacement for them.Keywords: Brake Pad, Asbestos, Pin on Disc Wear Tester, Hardness, Sisal, Palm Slag, Porosity
