Abstract

Abstract. There are settlements in Tambakaji, Semarang City, which are threatened with landslides because they are located right at the foot of the slope, so research is needed to determine the potential for landslides on the slope. Landslide potential can be identified by identifying the presence of slip planes on the slopes and knowing the soil classification. The prediction of the presence of slip planes is done using the resistivity method while the soil classification uses the HVSR method. The HVSR method is also used to determine the depth of the sediment layer to strengthen the suspicion of the existence of a slip plane in the resistivity method. Based on the results of research using the resistivity method, it shows that the slope has the potential for landslides because it is suspected to have a slip plane at a depth of 20-23 meters (reinforced by the results of the HVSR method which obtains a sediment thickness value of about 23.4 -23.8 meters), but the rate of landslides falls into in the low category because the layer of sediment above it is classified as hard soil.

Abstract

Soil fertility parameters, including macronutrients, micronutrients, and metal content, are very important for optimizing agricultural and plantation land management. Ultisol is a type of soil that is commonly used as a planting medium for oil palm plantations, rubber, and various types of vegetables. Continuous land use causes variations in nutrient and metal content. This change is also caused by the fertilization process and the characteristics of the plants grown in the area. In this study, an analysis of soil fertility parameters (macronutrients, micronutrients, and metal content) was analyzed using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) on Ultisol soil taken from Muara Jambi Regency, Indonesia. This analysis was conducted across land-use areas (Palm, Rubber, Vegetables, and Forest). Subsequently, the obtained measurements were used to model correlations with soil pH values to predict soil fertility parameters. The quantitative results showed that the metal content values were reasonably consistent across all locations regarding metal types and their percentage concentrations. However, locations 1 (T1) and 2 (T2) have higher aluminum (Al) content than locations 3 and 4 and lower magnesium (Mg) content. The modeling, when correlated with pH values, indicated that metal elements correlated 0.938, macronutrients 0.934, and micronutrients 0.767. From these correlations, it can be qualitatively inferred that there is a strong relationship between pH and the presence of metal content, macronutrients, and micronutrients. In the future, this can serve as a model for estimating the presence of soil fertility parameters.

Abstract

The geoelectric-resistivity method with Schlumberger configuration is commonly used for groundwater exploration. This method helps identify changes in the resistivity of rock layers beneath the Earth's surface by flowing direct current (DC). In this research, geoelectric-resistivity was used to search for the existence of groundwater aquifers in water crisis areas with peat soil structures. In addition, this research aims to determine the depth of the aquifer layer based on resistivity values below the surface and  to identify variations in resistivity values below the surface. The method used in this research was the Schlumberger configuration resistivity geoelectric method with 4 measurement points, each with  a stretch length of 500 m . The research results show that the subsurface resistivity value in the Parit Haji Muksin II area is 2.69 Ohm m to 264 Ohm m. The unconfined aquifer at the research location was found at point 1 and point 2 at a depth of 3.94 m to 35.5 m, while the confined aquifer was found at points 3 and 4 at a depth of 13.6 m to 61.8 m. This study indicates the presence of potential groundwater resources in tropical peatlands, highlighting the necessity for further comprehensive research to ensure their sustainable utilization in the future.

Abstract

Geothermal as an alternative energy source that is renewable and environmentally friendly has an important role in providing domestic energy needs. Exploration is one of the most important stages in the development of geothermal energy because it can minimize the risk at the stage of exploitation and development. Geophysical methods such as geomagnet and magnetotelluric are one of the methods used in exploration. Magnetic method can provide information on the description of rock demagnetization due to the presence of heat source. However, the magnetotelluric method will provide information about rock type resistance on geothermal fields. The existence of heat source using the geomagnetic method is represented by a low anomaly value as an indication of demagnetized rocks. The results of 3D inversion processing show a low value of type resistance in the area and form an updome. The correlation of the two results of processing the data can be seen in the southern part of the "X" geothermal field research area. Based on 3D Inversion modeling it can be seen the depth of the "X" Base of Conductor (BOC) geothermal system ranges from 1000 m to -800 m with resistivity ≤ 10 Ωm which is suspected as volcanic rocks. Geothermal reservoir is at a depth of 1000 m to -2000 m with a moderate resistivity of 40 - 60 Ωm which is suspected as an andesite volcanic rock, with temperature estimates ranging from 218o C to 255o C.

Abstract

Coal quality plays a pivotal role in determining its efficiency and environmental impact when used as a fuel source. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive comparison of coal quality by employing two analytical approaches: Actual Analysis and Proximate Analysis. Actual Analysis evaluates the fundamental characteristics of coal, including carbon content, hydrogen, sulfur, and trace elements. In contrast, Proximate Analysis focuses on determining moisture content (TM), ash (ASH), total sulphur (TS), and calorific velocity (CV). By integrating the insights gained from both models. The difference in coal quality is caused by the following factors, coal cleaning, coal getting, drainage making, and human error. Difference between actual coal quality parameters and model coal quality in January – March 2024; moisture content (TM) (0.2 - 1.59 % ar), ash (ASH) (0.76-5.01 % adb), total sulphur (TS) (0.1-0.6 % adb), calorific velocity (CV) ar (4-145 kcal/kg). In contrast, Proximate Analysis focuses on determining moisture content, volatile matter, ash, and fixed carbon. By integrating the insights gained from both models, this paper elucidates the strengths and limitations of each method, highlighting their relevance in industrial applications and environmental considerations. The findings provide a nuanced understanding of coal quality, paving the way for more informed decisions in its utilization and management. This study emphasizes the importance of selecting the appropriate analytical method to achieve optimal performance and sustainability in coal utilization.

Abstract

Major and trace elements are valuable tracers for understanding the groundwater cycle. In groundwater flow path applications, these elements help delineate groundwater flow paths and identify areas of recharge and discharge. While in geothermal systems, the major and trace elements can indicate the contribution of deep hydrothermal fluids. In this study, we used major and trace elements as a groundwater tracer used to determine the origin of the Ain Al-Harrah hot spring in Saudi Arabia. Water sample data collection was taken from previous studies. In the data collection process, pre-washed 0.5 L polyethylene bottles were used to collect a total of five water samples from Ain Al-Harrah hot spring, Saudi Arabia. To prevent contamination, all samples were stored in a refrigerated room to maintain their chemical composition until the analysis process. The analytical results of the study showed that most of the hot water samples from Ain Al-Harrah hot spring, Saudi Arabia had been influenced by seawater which exceeded the limit value of x = 0.86 in the Na/Cl ratio. In addition, the value of y = 0.1 at the SO4/Cl ratio is the horizontal limit between the two. The interpretation of Cl against Cl/Li also confirms that the hot springs of Ain Al-Harrah, Saudi Arabia have been largely mixed with surface water. In addition, it is likely that the origin of the hot springs of Ain Al-Harrah, Saudi Arabia is also from seawater intrusion from red sea that has undergone mixing by meteoric water.

Abstract

Air conditioning (AC) systems are vital for ensuring thermal comfort in enclosed spaces, particularly in tropical regions like Indonesia, where high temperatures and humidity can challenge human productivity and well-being. This study investigates airflow distribution patterns in air-conditioned rooms using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, specifically employing the SST k-ω turbulence model. Simulations were conducted in a 3.5 × 3.55 × 3 m closed room with varied inlet temperatures (289.15–297.15 K) and airflow velocities (2–4 m/s). Results indicate that for every 2 K increase in inlet temperature, the average room temperature rises by approximately 1.37 K. Additionally, a 0.5 m/s increment in airflow velocity leads to an average temperature increase of 0.16 K. The airflow was observed to form a dominant jet stream from the AC inlet, flowing diagonally toward the lower part of the room, creating a low-altitude recirculation zone. This phenomenon influences thermal mixing and occupant comfort significantly. Validation of the CFD model revealed its robustness, with an average temperature deviation of 328.15 K and an Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) score of 0.858. Furthermore, the study suggests optimizing AC placement and operation parameters to enhance energy efficiency while maintaining comfort. These findings provide actionable insights into airflow behavior in tropical environments, promoting better design practices for cooling systems, which are crucial for sustainable development and improved living conditions in tropical climates.

Abstract

This research focuses on the distribution of andesite and breccia rocks in East Java, Indonesia, specifically in Morang Village, Madiun Regency, through geoelectric resistivity measurements. This study aims to enhance geoelectric interpretation from 2D to 3D, providing high accuracy in target positioning for potential building material resources. By employing a dipole-dipole configuration with electrode spacing, the resistivity values of subsurface rocks were analyzed to classify the types and distributions of building materials, such as andesite and breccia. Data was collected through field measurements and geological surveys, followed by inverse modeling using the least squares method. The results reveal that andesite, with resistivity values above 1000 Ωm, is distributed predominantly in the southeast-northwest trend at a depth of 10–15 meters, while breccia, with resistivity values between 600–900 Ωm, is found at various depths closer to the surface. The geological interpretation suggests that the southeast-northwest orientation may correlate with an ancient basin structure, which directed lava flow during past volcanic activities, forming these rock layers. This study contributes valuable information for local infrastructure planning by providing data on accessible rock resources essential for construction. The application of the 3D geoelectric model offers an effective tool for environmental assessment and mineral exploration, promoting sustainable resource management.
