Abstract

In the sector of freshwater fish breeding, many fish are found dead suddenly. The cause of the  fish death suddenly can occur due to toxic water or low oxygen content in the water. In Maninjau Lake, fish died suddenly because of low oxygen content in the water. The low oxygen content in water is caused by increased ammonia from food waste and fish feces. Results in active bacteria and metamolizes by absorbing oxygen in the water.  One way to overcome this is to react with a biofilter reactor. In operation, the reactor is given an inlet debit of 1 to 3 lt / min for the test material and the inlet is worth 10 to 20 lt / min. The highest reactor effectiveness is at the debit of test material  2 lt / min and the debit of air15 lt / min. It is characterized by changes in the pH of water that returns to normal.

Abstract

The energy produced by the Sun is heat energy and light energy. One of the uses of solar thermal energy is the thermoelectric generator (TEG). This research on solar thermoelectric generators uses 2 variations of cooling media, namely water cooling media and soil cooling media with a series series for thermoelectrics, while what will be analyzed is the amount of power from both tests and the ability the solar collector absorbs the sun's radiation heat. The test results and calculations determine the calorific value of solar radiation that is absorbed by the collector. That is 25,265 Watts. As for the results of testing the cooling media, the best results were obtained for the water cooling media with the greatest value at 0.04 Watt.

Abstract

An analysis has been carried out on designing a 60 MVA 150 kV transformer cooling chamber vacuum system. The transformer cooling chamber is vacuumed up to a pressure of 0.001 kPa. This is done to avoid the formation of gas bubbles, avoid condensation and sterilize the transformer chamber before filling the coolant. Therefore, we need a vacuum pump and other equipment called a vacuum system. The analysis of the vacuum system includes the work required by the system, vacuum time, and electrical energy. The design wllii uses a rotary pump and a root pump by varying the number of pumps with two, three, and four pumps. The results of the analysis show that the work that must be done by the design is the largest and the vacuum time is the least in the design that uses 2 pumps with a value of 2860.38 Kj and 39.31 hours. While the effective electrical energy is found in a design that uses 3 pumps. It can be concluded that an effective design is found in the design using 3 pumps. From the tests carried out in the field for the design of 3 pumps there is a difference of 5.3 hours and 38.31 kWh compared to the theoretical test.

Abstract

Unsaturated polyester is a polymer that is widely used as a basic matrix to form strong composites for engineering applications such as for cars, ships and aeroplanes. The advantages of using this material are owing to have a fairly high tensile strength when reinforced with appropriate reinforcing fibers, light and easy to shape. However, due to its brittle nature, this material cannot withstand shock loads. Therefore, it is necessary to overcome that weakness. Crude Palm Oil (CPO) can give benefits as a strengthening agent. However, its proper mixture to polyester need to be figured out so that it would help in improving crack resistance properties of this polyester. This can be done by determining of fracture resistance value of the mixture polymer. A crack resistance testing was carried out and crthe itical stress intensity factor was calculated based on ASTM D 5005. The composition of the CPO mixture was varied from 100%: 0%, 10%: 20%, 30%: 40%. From the test results, it can be identified that the greatest critical stress intensity factor is  = 15.787  MPa.m1/2. This is found out in composition of 30% CPO. Meanwhile the critical intensity factor of pure Unsaturated Polyester (UP) is only 2,023 MPa.m1/2. There is approximately 700% improvement that can be gained in mixing with CPO.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of various lubricant-based cutting fluid parameters to produce an optimal tool life in turning operations. This research does not use coolant as a cooling fluid, but as a lubricant with the addition of a small amount of graphite (solid lubricant) at a minimum quantity condition. By using HSS cutting tools and a low carbon steel workpiece, an experimental design was carried out using the Taguchi method with three parameters, that is the viscosity of the lubricant, the percentage of graphite in the lubricants, and the supplied pressure of the lubricants. Each parameter is designed to have three levels. The experimental results show that the percentage of graphite in the lubricant has the largest contribution of 52% and the viscosity of the lubricant is 38% while the fluid supplied pressure is only 7% of the tool life. Furthermore, based on the analysis of variance (ANOVA) it is known that the percentage of graphite and viscosity of the lubricant has a significant effect on the cutting tool life. The optimal and longest tool life is achieved when carried out with lubricant SAE20-50 with the percentage addition of 0.10% graphite with a pressure of 5 Bar.

Abstract

This study discusses the turnaround time (TAT) process in the 20 Tons Excavator refurbishment process carried out by a heavy equipment repair shop in Palembang City. TAT is the time range for the completion of the work, starting from when the tool arrives at the workshop until the job is completed. In this study, the employer is the owner of the heavy equipment, and the work recipient is the workshop where the heavy equipment is carried out. Based on the workshop records, during the 20 Tons TAT Excavator's refurbishment process, the best time was achieved was 56 working days. At the same time, the entrepreneur felt that 56 days was too long and the entrepreneur asked that this repair could be completed within a maximum of 30 working days. This delay causes huge losses for entrepreneurs resulting in lost business opportunities. This research aims to increase the TAT for the completion of the 20 Tons Excavator refurbishment work completion time following the work completion agreement. For this reason, it is necessary to conduct a study to determine the causes of delays in repair work. In this study, the authors use the method used in this analysis: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control (DMAIC). Based on the research, it was found that three things significantly affect the delay in completing the work, namely the limited area for painting, work agreements as a result of the availability of spare parts and completion of work from third parties. In the process of reconditioning heavy equipment, namely setting up the painting area, availability of spare parts and ensuring the completion of work submitted to third parties, to achieve the fastest time for completion of work

Abstract

The spark plug electrode gap is a narrow distance between the center of electrode and the mass of electrode.  This gap has a very big influence on the performance of the gasoline motor. If the spark plug electrode gap is not adjusted correctly or too tight, it will result the spark produced be weaken and the power generated will decrease, meanwhile if the spark plug electrode gap is too wide, it will cause to combustion failure while operate with high rpm. In this research, the effect of the spark plug electrode gap (0.6 mm,0.7 mm and 0.8 mm) on the GL 200 D motorcycle performance is conducted with different input torque and power. The experimental results show that the maximum torque is 14,75 ft-lbs at 6000 rpm and the maximum power is obtained using 0.7 mm spark plug electrode gap where the maximum power is 19,31 Hp at 8000 rpm.The spark plug electrode gap is a narrow distance between the center of electrode and the mass of electrode.  This gap has a very big influence on the performance of the gasoline motor.
