Abstract

Combustion is a very complex matter. Therefore, we need to know the phenomenon that occur in combustion apart from the temperature distribution. This research uses quasi-research. The background in using quasi-experimental is because it has advantages in data collection. Moreover, the phenomena that occur in more detailed research by means of a numerical approach could also be observed. This research was conducted with an approach (simulation) of diffusion combustion using methane (CH4) fuel and air containing 29% oxygen (O2), 71% nitrogen (N2) and the addition of swirl in the air ducts. k-ɛ turbulence modeling was aaplied in this somulation. This variation of the fuel velocities are 3 m/s, 5 m/s, 7 m/s, where the air velocity was varied for 3 m/s, 5 m/s, 7m/s. In this simulation, room pressure of 1 atm was applied for the surrounding. The results showed that, the greater the angle of inclination of the swirl burner, the shorter the flame. And on the variation of fuel velocity, we get the result that the higher fuel velocity, increase fire height; however, the temperature of the fire height will decrease.

Abstract

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a biomedical polymer that is useful in the orthopedic field as a bearing component in artificial hip joints. In general, these polymers pair up and rub against each other with metallic biomaterials, namely 316L stainless steel, cobalt chromium (CoCr) and titanium, which can cause material wear problems. One way to increase the wear resistance of UHMWPE is through the manufacturing process. The purpose of this research is to manufacture acetabular liner products using a CNC milling machine to obtain high surface quality and dimensional accuracy. The CNC milling machine used is the type of YCM 1020 EV 20. The manufactured specimen is then measured for roughness and dimensional accuracy. Based on the measurement results, it is found that the acetabular liner specimens from the CNC milling process are still in accordance with the standard ASTM standard (F 2033-12).

Abstract

Reverse Engineering (RE) can be interpreted as procedures and processes in dismantling an object to find out the materials, working methods, or technology used so that the object can function properly. Design activities using the reverse engineering concept make it easier for students to understand product specifications, product advantages and disadvantages, product production processes and production cost estimates before designing new products. The laboratory is one place that can be used to carry out the reverse engineering process. The bulkhead reactor is an alternative to the stirred tank reactor with the aim that the resulting product is maximized both in terms of quantity and morphology or shape of the material. The benefit of disassembling this product is as a first step in understanding the concept of reverse engineering in the task of designing machines or tools. From the results of the study, it was found that the formation of struvite occurred at pH 9 using an air flow rate of 1 l/minute.

Abstract

Indonesia as an archipelagic country has a very high wealth of aquatic resources with the level of diversity of aquatic ecosystems as the role of living organisms. Benthos is an organism that lives on the bottom sediment of a body of water. This organism lives relatively sedentary and cannot avoid contact with pollutants and its lifespan is relatively long, so that if there is a change in water quality and the substrate in which it lives, it will affect its composition and abundance. The purpose of this study was to determine the index of benthos diversity found in coastal waters. Klumpang, Labuan Bajo, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Therefore, benthos can be used as a bioindicator in observing pollution in water, especially on the Klumpang coast. The result shows that Klumpang beach shoreline has a medium diversity index, adequate productivity level, balanced ecosystem, and medium ecological pressure. The three sampling points has Shannon-Wiener diversity index by 1.790, 1.589, and 1.309 by sequence. The unbalanced species distribution of the species may indicate an unstable ecosystem in the shoreline, as the impact of surrounding activities especially in the eastern side of the coast.

Abstract

PPSDM Migas Cepu is one of the oil and gas industries in Indonesia. Their process requires Heat Exchanger for pre-heating purposes. The Heat Exchanger cannot work optimally because of the impurities attached to the walls shell and tube. Sometimes the impurities are attached to the walls of the shell and tube, so it makes can’t work optimally in this industry. For that reason, the purpose of this calculation is to find out the heat efficiency during the process. Heat efficiency is the ratio of the amount of heat that moves from a high-temperature fluid to a lower temperature fluid in a certain time unit which can show the performance of a Heat Exchanger. The result show that the clean overall coefficient (Uc) and design overall coefficient (Ud) are 7,4301 Btu/ft2.jam.oF and 7,2517 Btu/ft2.jam.oF. For dirt factor (Rd) are 0,0033 ft2.jamoF/Btu. The Pressure Drop is 0,0448 Psi for Tube and 0,0035 Psi for Shell. The value of the Heat Efficiency is 82,3840 %. This means according to the results of these parameters, it can be concluded that the Heat Exchanger-001 is still possible to operate.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine the impact of production capacity in determining distillation cost estimation on the dimethyl ether plant design. The estimation of equipment costs are determined using the CEPCI cost index. The calculation of the equipment specification was done with 4 different production capacities. The number of column height and diameter will increase when the production capacity is increased. The increase in equipment cost is directly proportional to the increase in production capacity. The greater the production capacity, the larger the height column and diameter, so the equipment cost will increase also. The equipment cost is affected by production capacity. Based on this analysis, the cost in the year 2024 will follow the model of y = 9923.8x + 2E+08, in which x is the capacity.

Abstract

Struvite is a white crystalline chemical known as magnesium ammonium phosphorus hexahydrate (MgNH4PO4.6H2O). Struvite is soluble in acidic conditions and slightly soluble in neutral and alkaline conditions. In industry, struvite is known as scale in pipes. Urinary stones can be called struvite because struvite crystals can form easily in the urine of animals and humans infected with ammonia organisms produced in the urine. Struvite can potentially be formed by alkaline urine and high magnesium excretion due to a high magnesium plant- based diet. The formation of struvite minerals is carried out in an insulated reactor by mixing a solution of MgCl2, NH4OH, and H3PO4 in a ratio of 1:1:1. The treatment of struvite mineral formation was carried out with a feed inlet rate of 35 ml/minute, the temperature at the reactor was carried out at 30oC while the intake air rate was carried out in the range of 0.25-1.25 liters/min. The pH of the solution was kept at a value of 9. The process was carried out until a steady state was reached. The formation of struvite minerals using an insulated column reactor was obtained at conditions of pH 9, operating temperature of 30oC and air rate of 1.25L/min.

Abstract

The dependence of the Indonesian people on the use of diesel fuel is still very high and is proven by the increasing consumption of diesel annually. Increasing diesel fuel consumption is a problem that must be anticipated because diesel is a fossil of fuel and non-renewable. One way to overcome this is to convert the use of fuel from fossil fuels to biofuels, such as biodiesel fuel. Biodiesel from palm oil is an option because Indonesia is the largest palm oil-producing country globally. Although theoretically, biodiesel can be used directly in diesel engines, there are very few studies related to the effects of using biodiesel and the potential for further development. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the combustion temperature of B100 and B20 fuels operated in long-term testing. This study uses two Kubota diesel engines with a cylinder volume of 376 ccs each. Each engine will be coupled with a generator to power the halogen lamps with a total power of 4000 W. The two engines will use different fuels, the first engine will be filled with B20 fuel, and the second engine will be filled with B100 fuel from palm oil. The engine rotational speed is constant at 2200 rpm, and the engine is operated for 300 hours without stopping. Every multiple of 4 hours, the combustion temperature measurement is carried out on the cylinder head, cylinder block, and exhaust gas pipe. The results show that the B100 engine produces lower combustion temperatures in the cylinder head, cylinder block, and pipe exhaust gas with 1.7%; 1.2%; and 2.7%, respectively.

Abstract

The use of fuel is currently increasing, as well as the increasing number of plastic waste that comes from household and industrial waste. The need for processing plastic waste to reduce the volume of waste is very necessary. One type of plastic waste is the type of polypropylene. This type of polypropylene plastic waste is a type of waste that can be used as a basic material to produce alternative fuels in the types of diesel, gasoline, and kerosene. In this research work, a test will be carried out to determine the cetane number of this type of diesel fuel produced by the pyrolysis process, to the treatment of temperature and time variables so that a high cetane number is produced. Plastic waste processing uses pyrolysis and distillation methods to produce alternative fuels with processing temperatures of 190ºC, 200ºC, and 225ºC in 3 hours, 4 hours, and 5 hours. From testing the cetane number on the pyrolysis fuel, the cetane number from the process of making this alternative fuel itself reached the highest number, namely 64.1 at a processing time of 5 hours at a temperature of 200ºC.
