Abstract

The development of efficient and environmentally friendly clean water production systems is becoming increasingly important. This study focuses on an innovative evaporator for a Solar Steam Generator (SSG) system designed to produce clean water using accessible materials. The SSG evaporator is constructed from cellulose bonded with Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) and incorporates a freeze-drying method to enhance porosity, which improves water delivery within the SSG system. To further boost the efficiency of the evaporator, activated carbon (AC) is added due to its effective absorption of visible to infrared radiation. Evaporation rate testing demonstrates that the addition of 3 wt% AC yields an evaporation rate of 1.39 kg/m²/h and an efficiency of 58.56%. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was employed to analyze changes in the sample after AC addition and to examine infrared absorption characteristics.

Abstract

Remote sensing is a system that enables data collection without physical contact with the object or its environment. Light detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology is increasingly important in various industries, particularly developing autonomous vehicles. In autonomous vehicle applications, LiDAR is expected to detect multiple objects from high and low reflectance to make it easy to recognize its surrounding area. We have designed a biaxial LiDAR range finder system based on indirect time of flight technology, which has been tested to measure the distance of an object with high reflectance. In this work, we employ the system to measure the distance of an object with low reflectance from High Impact PolySterene (HIPS). The results show that the systems can measure objects from HIPS up to 33 m, which is lower than when the system measures an object with high reflectance.

Abstract

LDPE thermoplastics have been made with rice husk ash nanosilica filler, which is synthesized using the coprecipitation method. The nanosynthesis of rice husk ash silica was carried out with HCl 2M and NaOH 2.5M solvents with a ratio of 1:3. The synthesized nanosilica was then characterized using XRD and obtained an average size of 23.09 nm. Based on the results of XRF characterization, it is known that there is 92.99% SiO2 and the most abundant element, namely Si, 43.47%. The composition of each LDPE/nanosilica rice husk silica was varied (100/0, 98/2, 96/4, 94/6, and 92/8 % by weight), and mechanical properties in the form of tensile strength, elongation at break, and modulus of elasticity were tested using ASTM D638 standard. The results of the mechanical test were obtained with the optimum tensile strength value in the composition (96/4% by weight) of 10.53 MPa, the optimal elongation value at the break in the composition (100/0% by weight) of 201.5%, and the optimum elastic modulus value in the composition (96/4% by weight) of 226.57 MPa. The addition of RICE HUSK SILICA nanosilica as a filler is proven to improve the mechanical properties of LDPE thermoplastic in terms of tensile strength and modulus of elasticity compared to LDPE without filler material (100/0% by weight).

Abstract

The escalation in motorcycle ownership has paralleled a rise in theft incidents, challenging the efficacy of existing security measures. Despite the integration of standard security systems on motorcycles, the persistence of thefts underscores the need for innovative solutions. This study introduces a novel security device that leverages Bluetooth HC-05 technology and an ATmega328 microcontroller to address this issue. The proposed system transcends conventional security protocols by establishing a dynamic link between the motorcycle and its owner. An alarm is triggered when the distance between the paired Bluetooth devices exceeds a predefined threshold, signaling potential unauthorized movement. Moreover, the system is engineered to deactivate the motorcycle's ignition upon Bluetooth connectivity loss, immobilizing the engine and thwarting theft attempts. This advanced security mechanism enhances the protection of motorcycles by incorporating proximity-based alerts and automated engine shutdown features, offering a formidable deterrent against theft. The article delineates this security system's design, implementation, and potential impact, positioning it as a critical advancement in motorcycle anti-theft technology.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the efficiency of LPG fuel performance compared to gasoline in motorcycle engines. The research method involves a brake dynamometer test with engine speed variations of 2000 rpm, 2200 rpm, and 2500 rpm. Based on the results obtained, the exhaust gas temperature (°C) at an engine speed of 2000 rpm with gasoline is 148°C and 146°C, while with LPG, it is 107°C and 108°C. The fuel consumption rate (cc/min) at 2000 rpm is 15.8 cc/min, 16.2 cc/min with gasoline, and 9.36 cc/min with LPG. At 2200 rpm, the fuel consumption is 16.2 cc/min, 22.8 cc/min with gasoline, and 10.48 cc/min with LPG. At 2500 rpm, it is 20.2 cc/min, 19.4 cc/min with gasoline, and 14.40 cc/min with LPG. In terms of fuel consumption savings, using LPG as a fuel can significantly reduce fuel usage.
