Abstract

Residual soil is soil that is often used as barrier cover soil at the closure of B3 waste storage facilities. This is because the shear strength of the soil is quite good. The minimum value of the soil permeability coefficient (k) for barrier hoods at the closure of B3 waste storage facilities is 10-7 cm/sec. Many residual soils have a soil permeability coefficient (k) of less than 10-7 cm/sec. Because the dominant compound in coal fly ash is silica, mixing this fly ash with residual soil can reduce the value of the soil permeability coefficient (k) and is also expected to increase the shear strength value of the soil. In this study, residual soil samples were mixed with fly ash at 5%, 10%, 15%, 25% and 35% of the dry weight of the soil. This research aims to determine the effect of adding fly ash on the parameters of dry density, shear strength and soil permeability. The tests carried out were standard proctor testing, direct shear test, and Falling-Head permeability testing. The residual soil used in this research came from Hamlet I, Bintang Meriah Village, Pancur Batu District, Deli Serdang Regency. Based on standard proctor testing, the maximum density (gd max) of original soil is 1,410 gr/cm3. The largest maximum density (gd max) was obtained when adding  15% fly ash, namely 1.471 gr/cm3. In the direct shear test, the original soil cohesion value was 0.024 kg/cm² with an internal shear angle of 37.96º. In the variation of adding 15% fly ash, the cohesion value was 0.131 kg/cm² with an internal friction angle of 53.08º. Based on the Falling-Head permeability test, the original soil permeability coefficient value was 1.98 x 10-6 cm/s. The permeability coefficient value for variations in adding 15% fly ash was obtained at 8.02 x 10-8 cm/s.

Abstract

Highest mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD) in 2019: 17.9 million people died worldwide, accounting for 32% of all deaths, 85% of which were due to heart attack and stroke. In Indonesia, 651,481 people die from cardiovascular disease each year, including 331,349 from stroke, 245,343 from coronary heart disease, and 50,620 from hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. Disturbance of changes in heart rhythm is a condition when the heart's electrical activity is irregular, it can be faster or slower than usual. This disorder is closely related to cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, heart failure, valvular heart disease, and coronary artery disease. Changes in heart rhythm are usually not dangerous, but if the heartbeat starts to feel abnormal, it can be fatal and cause sudden death. Changes in heart rhythm can be detected using an electrocardiogram, often called an EKG. The function of the EKG is to record information about the state of the heart using electrodes attached to the body. An EKG examination usually has to be done in a hospital to find out the disease the patient is suffering from. This study implements an ECG signal real-time monitoring and processing system using AD8232 sensor module and will display the resulting ECG signal in MATLAB software. This test will be monitored using Simulink MATLAB on the MATLAB R2022b software. Testing the ECG signal studied there were two activities, namely normal activity and after exercising for five minutes. The test was carried out in a sitting position using a 21 years old woman. The results obtained from the system are made using the AD8232 sensor module has been successfully implemented using R peak detection to generate real-time heart rate. It was found that the heart rate varies between 85 to 90 beats per minute during normal activity. Meanwhile, the heart rate after five minutes of exercise reaches 107 to 111 beats per minute. From this heartbeat, we can assume that the heart is functioning normally.

Abstract

In the last few decades, researchers have been conducting various studies in search of alternative energy sources to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and anticipate future energy scarcity. One such alternative energy is hydrogen, which can be obtained through various methods, including electrolysis of water. Hydrogen possesses the characteristics of being flammable, odorless, colorless, and tasteless, necessitating the development of a rigorous monitoring and protection system to mitigate potential hazards. In this study, a monitoring and protection system was designed for the operation of an electrolyzer using a Dry Cell type HHO Generator. The system employs the concept of the Internet of Things, where data is connected through the internet network. The data received includes hydrogen concentration readings, electrolyzer operation automation, electrolyzer operating status, and hydrogen gas leak detection in the system. The research results obtained showed that the higher the concentration of electrolyte and the voltage supplied to the electrolysis process, the faster the production of hydrogen gas is accelerated, accompanied by an increase in temperature. If a leakage occurs in a system, the occurrence of the fire triangle will be faster when the concentration of electrolyte and the voltage supplied are greater.

Abstract

Biogas technology has become an alternative fuel that is often used in Indonesia. One of the raw materials for biogas that has the potential and is easy to obtain is waste from the tofu industry. Liquid waste still contains a lot of organic elements. The organic materials contained in the exhaust of the tofu industry are generally very high. The gases commonly found in tofu waste are nitrogen gas (N2), oxygen (O2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), ammonia (NH3), carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). These gases come from the decomposition of organic materials contained in wastewater. So that biogas produced from tofu liquid waste still contains CO2 and H2S gases which are quite high. Therefore, in this study the process of purification or refining of biogas products will be carried out using the absorption method through an absorber column using monoethanolamine (MEA) solution as a chemical absorbent through a 8 mm packed bed scrubber. The results showed that the best biogas flow rate in the purification process which produced the highest CH4 concentration of 95.12% was 40% MEA concentration and 0.8 L/min flow rate. The effect of MEA concentration on biogas purification causes the concentration of CO2 and H2S in the purified biogas to decrease as the MEA concentration increases. The best combination of 0.8 L/min biogas flow rate and 10 mm packing area reduces CO2 and H2S concentrations to 1.88% and 0 ppm.

Abstract

Global environmental issues that demand good air quality have encouraged various energy sources to develop environmentally friendly energy. Brown’s Gas is produced by using an electrolysis system to separate water into Hydrogen (H2) and Oxygen (O2) gas. The dry cell is an electrolyzer that is widely used for both small and large-scale hydrogen production systems. A dry cell electrolyzer was designed with 12 stages of 316 stainless steel with Polyvinyl Alcohol as a polymer membrane to prevent mixing H2 and O2 to get a high percentage of hydrogen purity. This study compares hydrogen purity on Brown’s gas using a dry cell electrolyzer with PVA with/without a PVA separator membrane. The result shows that the PVA membrane significantly impacted hydrogen purity. The hydrogen purity on Brown’s gas without PVA membrane for KOH, NaOH, KCl, and Seawater was 58.37%, 56.42 %, 50.16%, and 55.22 %. Compared to using the membrane was 78.32%, 77.80%, 63.16%, and 74.0 %, with the highest hydrogen obtained was KOH electrolyte.

Abstract

Cultivation of lettuce in a greenhouse is considered a sustainable agricultural technique. Unlike conventional farming, which is susceptible to water shortages, pests, and other uncertainties that can lead to inconsistent and lower-quality lettuce production, hydroponic cultivation in a greenhouse ensures not only high-quality lettuce production but also continuous availability of crops, protected from extreme weather conditions such as droughts and pests. Although greenhouse cultivation is an effective approach, in lowland areas like Sekayu City, the capital of Musi Banyuasin Regency, the microclimate inside the greenhouse can be relatively high and less favorable for lettuce growth. Lettuce ideally thrives in highland regions with a temperature of around 28°C and humidity of 76%. Therefore, it is necessary to control the microclimate inside the greenhouse to optimize lettuce growth. This control requires electrical energy to operate various electronic devices in the microclimate control system, such as exhaust fans and cooling pad water pump. In this study, a solar power electrical system is designed to meet the energy needs for operating a lettuce greenhouse in Sekayu City, Musi Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra Province. The research was conducted for 31 days, from July 1 to July 31, 2023. The highest power output was recorded on July 31, 2023, at 11 kWh, while the lowest output occurred on July 20, 2023, at 5 kWh. The research utilized an MMPT inverter, which prevents overcharging and maintains a constant 50 A input power when charging the battery. Additionally, an IoT system was used to monitor the performance of the solar power generation system, facilitating data collection on electricity production.

Abstract

One of the welding methods that is widely used is the SMAW welding process (Shield Metal Arc Welding) which is also called Electric Arc Welding. This research aims to analyze the effect of variations in cooling media on tensile test results on welding results of S45C steel material. This research uses S45C material. The material is subjected to single vee joint welding, where at the completion of welding the material is immersed in a cooling medium of oil, water, air and is not treated in this research. From the research results, it can be concluded that the highest ultimate tensile strength (Tu) value is when the material is cooled with oil media, where the highest value is 517.15 N/mm2, followed by air cooling media, where the highest value is amounted to 475.85 N/mm2, and the lowest was with water cooling media where the highest value was 455.50 N/mm2. Thus, cooling with oil as a medium is the best between the two cooling media, water and air.
