Abstract

Fuzzy logic is a logic that has values of fuzziness or ambiguity between true and false. Values in fuzzy logic typically range from 0 to 1. The theory of fuzzy logic is widely used for control systems in various fields. An automatic flower irrigation system is an automated watering device that can be operated with fuzzy logic. In this research, there are two main parameters: temperature and humidity. For the temperature parameter, five linguistic variables are used: cold, cool, normal, warm, and hot. Meanwhile, for soil moisture, three linguistic variables are used: dry, moist, and wet. The results of this research are the maximum setting points obtained according to the rules that have been defined. In this study, the maximum setting point is achieved with a high temperature and low humidity. The difference in output between the Mamdani and Sugeno methods is not very significant. The Mamdani method produces real number values, while the Sugeno method produces integer values. This difference is due to several factors, one of which is the difference in the use of formulas in the defuzzification process of each method.

Abstract

The researchers developed a bio-composite film material that serves as a substitute for metal. The materials used are TEMPO ((2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl)), Bacterial Cellulose, and Polypyrrole (Ppy). This research aimed to increase the material's current density and specific capacitance values using the drawing method. Composite nanomaterials are made by oxidizing BC (Bacterial Cellulose) with TEMPO. The resulting TOBC (TEMPO Bacterial Cellulose) material was mixed with Ppy using the in situ method. The mixture is then drawn wet—measurement of current density and capacitance using Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) Testing. The current density and specific capacitance results increased by 542.74% and 754.79% after drawing the nanocomposite material. It is directly proportional to the effects of characteristic testing, which includes SEM, XRD, and FTIR. As a result of the withdrawal of the polypyrrole, it will be more evenly distributed in the composite material, absorbing and coating the nata de coco. The researchers concluded that when the TOBC/Ppy fibers are straighter and denser, they achieve higher current density and capacitance values.

Abstract

Abstract— Factors that influence comfort on trains are thermal comfort factors. Thermal comfort is a thermal interaction between humans and their surroundings that satisfies the human mind. The principle of thermal comfort itself is related to the surrounding body temperature. Because if the human body temperature and the environment have a significant temperature difference, discomfort will occur. Research aims to design an effective air conditioning system to produce a better air supply so that it can overcome the problem of thermal comfort in trains. The first methodology for this research was collecting primary and secondary data. Primary data includes data on train size, construction, type of equipment, and number of passengers. While secondary data is data on design conditions. To determine the value of the cooling load, it is necessary to analyze the heat load in the train which includes sensible heat load and latent heat load. The results of this research obtained a total sensible heat value of 86371.19 Btu/hr. And the total latent heat is 73855.839 Btu/hr. Based on the results of research that has been carried out, it can be Conclusions were drawn from the calculation of the cooling load on the Type K3-438 Passenger Train with a capacity of 94 passengers. It was concluded that the minimum cooling load required was 40412.48 kcal/hr. Keywords: Cooling Load, Thermal Comfort, Passenger Train, Thermodynamic Physics

Abstract

The general properties of waves are refraction, reflection, bending (diffraction), interference and polarization. Sound is a form of wave and is in accordance with the law of wave refraction where waves coming from a less dense medium to a denser medium will be refracted closer to the normal line or vice versa. Sound waves easily experience diffraction because sound waves in air have wavelengths of around several centimeters to several meters. Then basically every room, whether you feel it or not, will always have sound. This is inversely proportional to light which has a wavelength of around 500 mm. Therefore, an interference reduction system using a passive bandpass interference filter on the podcast microphone is necessary to reduce interference. Test results carried out by filters used to reduce noise using Passive Band Pass. the waveform is still the original spectrum at 0 Hz – 120 Hz, the original sound conditions and does not cause interference, but interference occurs and filtering Category (Noise %) 10 – 40 low - 98 – 99 high.

Abstract

Cleaner production is an environmental management strategy that is preventive, integrated and continuously applied to every process. The urea fertilizer industry certainly produces waste and allows for problems or constraints in the processing process. This study aims to obtain a cleaner production strategy to increase the efficiency of urea production. This research was studied at a urea factory in Sumatera with a high production capacity of 114,584 kg/hour. The cleaner production strategy was preventive maintenance for the CO2 compressor (B/C 1.91), cleaning demister on dust recovery prilling tower (B/C 3.62), making automatic door closer (B/C 84,54), addition wire mesh on air exhaust (B/C 91,96), add a condensate drop container overall (B/C 1,51) and make repairs to existing dehumidifier in bulk storage (B/C 30,94). Determining the priority of cleaner production alternatives using the MPE method results in the highest priority net production alternative being making automatic doors closer. If all alternatives are implemented, there will be savings in energy consumption of 2.052 kWh/tonne/day. Percentage of urea and NH3 loss can be reduced up to 20% so that the prilling unit production efficiency increased by 0.24% and the savings to be obtained range from 620 thousand - 45 billion rupiah/year.

Abstract

Organic-inorganic hybrid nanocomposite is currently in the fore front of research because it is ecofriendly, safe, cost effective, methodologically facile and effective for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. In this study, hybrid Ag@rice leaf extract/rice leaf biochar nanocomposite (Ag@RLEBN) was hydrothermally fabricated for the degradation of MB and denaturation of microorganisms. To understand the mechanisms between Ag@RLEBN and MB/microorganism, the physicochemical analysis, reusability, photocatalytic degradation parameters and microbial inhibition diameter were investigated. The obtained results revealed Ag@RLEBN as face centered cubic crystalline structure with crystallite size of 27.5 nm. The band gap energy of rice leaf biochar (RLB) and Ag@RLEBN was 1.9 and 1.8 eV respectively. Photocatalytic degradation of 99.7% was obtained at initial MB concentration of 0.0001M, 5 mg of Ag@RLEBN and 60 min exposure to sunlight. The main mechanism in control of the degradation of MB was electrostatic attraction, complexation, cationic exchange, ???, n??, and hydrogen bonding. Accessing the reusability of Ag@RLEBN indicated less than 2.05% degradation efficiency disparity after five cycle reuse. The Ag@RLEBN showed high antimicrobial inhibition effectiveness against salmonella (10 nm), Klebsiella (12 nm) and staph aureus (8nm). Therefore, Ag@RLEBN is effective for the removal of MB and microbial decontamination.

Abstract

The investigation of radiated magnetic field intensity in switchyards is of paramount important, so spot measurement procedure was used to detect the levels of magnetic field by placing the detachable sensor of Extech 480826 Triple-Axis metre on ‘constructed stand’ with three reference heights of 1.0, 1.5 and 1.8 m. Instant coordinates of position was simultaneously recorded at each spot during the process of measurements. The analysis revealed locations significant differences of p = 0.027, p = 0.016 and p = 0.023 for the respective reference heights (1.0, 1.5 and 1.8 m). Shiroro and Kainji transmission switchyards mean ELF magnetic field were significant at each height when analysed using least significant differences pairwise comparison. However, non-significant differences between Jebba with Shiroro and also Kainji transmission switchyards were noticed. Further assessment of ELF magnetic field through 2D profiling of height levels in the transmission switchyards display similar drifting path with slight differences and locations with high intensity detected from the plots. The level of instant nonuniformity in mean magnetic field distribution at the switchyards during the duration of the measurements have been revealed by this research and also irregular exposure encountered by workers across height standing at a spot exposed.
