Abstract

Gunung Salak is one of the potential geothermal area in Indonesia. The steam character is categorised as the water – dominated steam with low steam purity. During inspection, deposit was found in several equipment which are turbine, demister, scrubber and separator. Demister is an essential in the geothermal system as it keeps the steam quality above the saturated condition, by removing the water phase from the steam. The deposit was predicted to be form because of scaling problem due to the impurities of the steam. Oxygen is expected to be responsible of the scaling problem. This research is to analyze the effect of oxygen partial pressure to the formation of scaling through thermodynamic approach. The formation of iron oxide scaling is to be focused in this research as it is mostly found in the deposit alongside other compounds. Demister’s deposit was analyzed using ICP, AAS, XRD and SEM – EDX method. The actual composition found in the demister is then compared to the phase stability diagram results using a chemical reaction software. The deposit used is from the demister.

Abstract

Biodiesel as an alternative fuel can replace fossil fuels. However, biodiesel has a higher value of viscosity, density and surface tension to fossil fuels. Increasing the injection pressure on the injector is one solution to overcome the problem of high viscosity, density, and surface tension in biodiesel. This study aims to determine the effect of increasing injection pressure and injection timing variations on spray characteristics, performance and exhaust emissions diesel engine. Injection pressure namely 200, 210, 220, 230 kg/cm$^2$ by setting the rotation of adjusting screw the injector. The results of this study were obtained by increasing the pressure injection of biodiesel fuel by 230 kg/cm$^2$ resulting in fuel spray characteristics better than the standard 200 kg/cm$^2$ and resulting improvements in the penetration length, spray angle, the average diameter size of each 30$\%$, 28$\%$, and 9.78$\%$. And performance improvements and exhaust emissions also occur, namely Thermal Efficiency, Specific Fuel Consumption, and Smoke Opacity with values of 16.99$\%$, 14.15$\%$, and 46.39$\%$ improved respectively.

Abstract

The usage of natural gas is ever increasing with environment consciousness ever increasing. A general bi-fuel LPG system is analyzed on a new four-stroke engine. The mixer of LPG is to be designed for the new four-stroke gasoline engine. Mixer design is crucial to meter the flow of natural gas into the combustion chamber. With this the amount of gas can be controlled for different engine speeds and loads. To reduce the time to design computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to get the desired flow condition inside the mixer. The calculation is done for the initial sizing of the throat of the mixer and later is simulated to obtain the best flow characteristics. Different preliminary design is to get the best shape of the mixer. With the help of CFD the best shape is taken for fabrication. The initial calculation for sizing is based on the stoichiometry of the fuel and general fluid dynamic equations.

Abstract

The production process of sulfuric acid is carried out in stages from combustion of liquid sulfur to SO$_2$, then to SO$_3$ and dissolving SO$_3$ in aqueous sulfuric acid solution to concentrated sulfuric acid (high concentration). The success of the production process is very dependent on the initial combustion process into SO$_2$, physical parameters on the liquid sulfur characteristics and the nozzle geometry. The process of burning liquid sulfur depends on the pattern of atomization in the geometry of the nozzle and its fluid characteristics. Liquid sulfur is included in non-newtonian fluids, so the atomization process requires an understanding of its characteristics. The atomization mechanism at the nozzle depends on 3 parameters including viscosity, surface tension and density. In non- Newtonian fluid 3 parameters are sensitive to changes in pressure and temperature. In terms of the geometry of the tip nozzle diameter, smaller diameter, the atomization process is better, but a decrease in temperature will cause clogging. Individual installation of temperature and pressure sensors for each nozzle is chosen so that the atomization of each nozzle can be controlled.

Abstract

Natural convection is the phenomenon of heat transfer due to the buoyancy force of fluid. One application of natural convection inside a vertical cavity is refrigerator condenser of circular cross-section tube. An experimental investigation is presented on natural convection of air over an array of elliptical tubes of AR 2.5 arranged vertically inside a thermally asymmetric cavity. One side of the cavity is insulated and the opposite side is exposed to ambient air. The distance between tubes, pitch ratio PR is constant at 1.25 where “a” is a half of tube major axis. The Clearance Ratio \textit{CR} which is the ratio between the distance of tubes array major axis to the insulated wall x and the width of the cavity y, is varied 0.4 and 0.6. The heat flux of the tube is maintained at 22.79 kW/m$^2$. It is found that the higher value of heat transfer coefficient is achieved on CR= 0.4.
