Abstract

Biodiesel is an environmentally friendly alternative fuel for diesel engines. The research studies the extraction process of biodiesel from waste produced by a fish canning factory using a heterogeneous catalyst known as cocopeat ash. The experiment was designed utilizing a completely randomized design with two factorial treatments and four repetitions. The primary factor under investigation was the composition of the catalyst, specifically 3%, 5%, and 7% w/v methanol. The second factor examined was the reaction time of either 60 minutes or 120 minutes. Data analysis revealed variations in density, viscosity, acid number, and Free Fatty Acids (FFA) in fish oil before and after refinement. The treatment that yielded the highest results was A3B2, featuring a catalyst composition of 7% and a reaction time duration of two hours, which achieved an impressive biodiesel yield of 81%. Moreover, several parameters tested for compliance with SNI-04-7182-2015 standards showed positive outcomes. These parameters include a density value measuring 876.3 kg/m³, the flash point around 160°C, iodine number reaching 16.36 g/100g, and heating value 47.47 MJ/Kg.

Abstract

Self-controlled hydrants are fire protection systems located in residential areas that function for early fire extinguishing. In a fire protection system, the pump plays an important role in supplying water from the reservoir to the end point of the installation. Fire pumps must always be in optimum condition and accordance with applicable standards. This study aims to analyze pump performance at current conditions in self-contained hydrants in the Palmerah District and then compare it with the performance that pumps should have in ideal conditions according to SNI 03-6570-2001 standards. The method used is a quantitative descriptive analysis method by comparing the current condition of the pump with applicable standards and conducting a direct survey of the location of the installed fire pump. The measuring instruments used in the study were a pressure gauge, control box, and pitot gauge. The results obtained through testing and calculating pump performance The pump installed on the self-contained hydrant in actual conditions with a total head of 86.62 m produces a flowrate of 0.0189 m3/s at 2800 RPM and can flow a maximum flowrate of 0.0284 m3/s with a head of 66.94 m while in ideal conditions with approximately the same speed and total pump head of 88.83 m, The pump produces a flow rate of 0.0473 m3/s and can produce a maximum flowrate of 0.0710 m3/s with a head of 71.81 m and when shut-off (Q = 0) at actual and ideal conditions produces a same total pump head 94.10 m. However, the pump in actual conditions can flow a minimum flowrate required of 0.040 m3/s with a pressure required of 350 kPa at 3000 RPM with a total pump head of 108.52 m. Thus, the pump must operate heavier due to the higher total head to deliver the required minimum flow rate and pressure.

Abstract

Simulation of the drying air and the spray of liquid in the spray dryer chamber with Discrete Phase Material (DPM) and Discrete Random Walk (DRW) was presented in this study using CFD methods to analyze the drying liquid. The main problem in spray drying is the adhesion of the material to the drying chamber walls, which causes uneven drying material. This adhesion can slow down the drying process and reduce productivity. The design of the drying air inlet into the drying chamber becomes essential to research. Variations in the position of the drying air inlet into the drying chamber are carried out in the 3D spray dryer room to see the mechanism of the centrifugal velocity of the drying airflow, which can improve uniform mixing with flow resistance due to friction with small walls and the drying air velocity. This phenomenon is impossible to observe in experiments. A geometric model consisting of 1,054,000 hexa-mesh elements at the area around the nozzle, the top spot of the chamber and the remaining area covered with a tetrahedral mesh, was determined to predict velocity, temperature, and fluid flow behavior. The first position, the dryer air inlet, is at an angle from the diameter of the spray drying chamber. The second position is in the middle of the diameter of the drying chamber. The position of the first inlet produces a more even temperature contour with a more tangential velocity due to the small frictional resistance with the walls. At the same time, the second position is not recommended because the flow leads to one side of the wall and creates sticking and even material buildup. A double-heated condenser can dry air at moderate temperatures, and it is a very effective drying product— positioning the dryer air inlet into the drying chamber, achieving the economical production of high-quality products.

Abstract

In this research, Taguchi method is employed by focusing on spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut to optimize the CNC turning parameters for aluminum alloy 6063. The main goal of this study is to improve the surface roughness of the material. A L9 orthogonal array is used for experimentation, and the results are subsequently analyzed using ANOVA (Analysis of Variance). A spindle speed of 1300 rpm, a feed rate of 0.5 m/min, and a depth of cut of 1.5 mm are the optimal conditions to achieve the minimum average surface roughness (Ra). The main effect plot of the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio provides significant evidence supporting the primary research goal. Furthermore, the ANOVA table reveals that spindle speed contributes 59.71%, feed rate contributes 29.80%, while depth of cut only contributes minimally at 0.72%. Based on the research findings, spindle speed and feed rate can be adjusted to control surface roughness. Both factors are highly significant in influencing the surface roughness of the material. The prediction equation from the linear regression analysis is Ra = 1.745 – 0.001024 spindle speed + 0.3000 feed rate – 0.0233 depth of cut. A coefficient of determination or R-squared value of 0.9115 indicates that the independent variables can explain 91.15% of the variation in the dependent variable. The experimental and predicted surface roughness (Ra) values have a predicted error percentage of 2.26%.

Abstract

In this investigation, the impact of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles on the performance of a refrigeration machine system was systematically examined. The focus was on evaluating the coefficient of performance (COP) concerning the utilization of a polyolester (POE) lubricant, R600a refrigerant, and distinct nanoparticles (SiO2 and ZnO) within the refrigeration system. The nanoparticles were individually introduced into the R600a refrigerant in masses of 0.5 g, 1.0 g, and 1.5 g. The experimental outcomes demonstrated a noteworthy enhancement in COP with the addition of nanoparticles. Specifically, the introduction of 1.5 g of SiO2 resulted in a substantial increase of 25.88% in COP, marking it as the most influential dosage. Similarly, the addition of 1.0 g of ZnO led to a significant COP increase of 13.6%, representing the optimal quantity for ZnO. Furthermore, the inclusion of 1.5 g of SiO2 brought about a remarkable reduction in energy consumption, with a decrease of 25.58%, while 1.5 g of ZnO resulted in a notable 16.28% decrease in energy consumption. The experimental configuration involved the use of 20 g of refrigerant and 500 ml of POE lubricant. Comparative analysis demonstrated that the refrigeration system incorporating nanoparticles outperformed the conventional R600a refrigeration system devoid of nanoparticles. This study contributes valuable insights into the potential enhancements in refrigeration system efficiency through the strategic incorporation of SiO2 and ZnO nanoparticles, offering a promising avenue for optimizing the performance of refrigeration technology.

Abstract

This study investigates the performance of compressor enclosures for noise absorption, reverberation, and machine ventilation to ensure a safe and healthy working environment for people. The Multi pro air compressor model BC 150 DMBW 1.5 HP is placed in an enclosure made of wood board, and for absorbing material, use 6 cm thick polyurethane pyramid foam. A fan with a flow rate of 280 CMH is used as a cooling medium and will operate simultaneously with the compressor operation. Flow Air Delivery (FAD) of the compressor is 126 L/min. The Sound Pressure Level (SPL) value is determined using a sound level meter before and after the compressor uses the enclosure. In addition, the enclosure's room temperature is recorded within 30 minutes of operation to determine whether there is a significant increase in heat to ensure that the enclosure for this compressor is still within safe limits. Based on the test results, it is known that after a 30-minute operation, the temperature rises from 29 OC to 65 OC in the inlet on the enclosure with the fan off, and the temperature rises from 29 OC to 51 OC on the enclosure with the fan on. While from the results of measuring the sound noise level, taken at a distance of 1 meter outside the enclosure, there is no significant difference, with or without using a fan, the decrease in sound noise level is only about 10 dB, which is 84 dB before using the enclosure, to 74 dB after using the enclosure. So, it can be concluded that the use of fans as coolers is quite effective in maintaining the temperature of the enclosure space when compared to natural cooling through ventilation, but the use of enclosures using pyramid foam material is not effective for reducing the noise level produced by the compressor when operating.

Abstract

The global discussion on conserving energy's importance has persisted, paralleling the surge in energy use over two decades. This rise presents challenges for local energy supply to diverse buildings. Designing energy-efficient buildings has become crucial in reducing energy usage and promoting sustainability. This research comprehensively analyzed and assessed thermal-cooling loads within an airport building using Panasonic software. The investigation primarily focuses on evaluating cooling load and thermal dynamics within the airport facility, emphasizing enhancing energy efficiency, and ensuring thermal comfort. Additionally, duct sizing design was conducted to achieve a comprehensive HVAC installation. From the result of the investigation, it was found that the highest Cooling Load at the airport occurs at 4:00 PM, aligning with the peak temperature resulting from heat transmitted into the building, reaching 263,591 Watts for the Airport Lounge and 82,202 Watts for the Luggage Room. Building energy management must be undertaken to minimize the energy consumption during that period. By thoroughly examining thermal-cooling loads within an airport building, this research contributes to decision-making for designing and operating HVAC systems, thereby advancing sustainable building practices.

Abstract

The Office of the Regent of Sidenreng Rappang (Sidrap), situated on Harapan Baru Street, Batu Lappa, Watang Pulu District, Sidrap Regency, South Sulawesi, consumes 200 kWh of electricity daily for lighting, resulting in substantial energy costs. Recognizing the potential for renewable energy, especially with a daily solar radiation potential of 5.8 kWh/m2, this study proposes the implementation of a hybrid solar power plant system. The system incorporates Photovoltaic (PV) as the primary energy source, with the Grid and Generator serving as backup sources through an AC Coupling configuration utilizing Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS). The research employs a simulation approach using HOMER Pro software for system modeling, SketchUp software for solar panel layout, AutoCAD software for ATS circuit modeling, and theoretical calculations for financial analysis. The results indicate a solar power plant capacity of 39.6 kW, producing 75,701 kWh/year with an impressive 83.3% renewable penetration. From an economic standpoint, the project requires an investment of IDR 642,714,960, with a net present cost of IDR 1,573,177,823, and a cost of energy value of IDR 1,401.38/kWh. In terms of feasibility, the project demonstrates a net present value exceeding zero (IDR 216,680,041), a profitability index greater than one (1.33), an internal rate of return surpassing the credit interest rate (12.488%), and a payback period of 7 years and 7 months. These findings affirm the feasibility of the hybrid solar power plant planning project for the Sidrap Regent's Office, showcasing its economic viability and potential for sustainable energy solutions.

Abstract

Kodingare Island is located in Pulau Sembilan District, Sinjai Regency, one of nine islands. Currently, most people still rely on conventional energy from diesel power plants. The reason is that this island does not yet receive an electricity supply from the electricity grid due to the geographical limitations of the archipelago. It is known that the most potential renewable energy source on Kodingare Island is solar energy, with a potential for solar radiation reaching 5.86 kWh/m2/day. This research aims to analyze an innovation that combines PV and solar, where PV acts as the main electricity generator, while solar functions as a backup and additional energy source. The method used in this research uses simulation methods, layout modeling, and financial analysis using HOMER Pro simulation software to determine the potential and performance of hybrid power plants and SketchUp Pro software to produce three-dimensional layouts and economic and feasibility values obtained through financial analysis. Technical aspects include producing an electrical energy system of 37,029 Wh/year, consisting of PV of 32,981 Wh/year and solar of 4,048 Wh/year with energy consumption of 33,850 Wh/year. The required fuel consumption is 2,086 L/year, with excess electricity of 931 kWh/year and renewable energy penetration of 89.1%. From an economic perspective, planning this hybrid power system requires an investment of 258.290.000 IDR, O&M costs of 19.350.600 IDR, and the cost of energy value of 1,352/kWh IDR. In contrast, from the feasibility aspect of planning a hybrid electric power system, it is said to be feasible because it produces a Net Present Value of 9,870,151 IDR, is more significant than zero, the Profitability Index is 1.03 greater than one, the Internal Rate of Return is 8.90% greater than the credit interest rate of 8.43% and the Payback Period required for return of capital is nine years nine months.
