Abstract

This paper focuses on the calculation of sizing ducting based on cooling load requirements the main ducting of office building following regulation airspeed requirements using American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The purpose of this research is to validate the airspeed and turbulence that occurs in the main ducting between manual calculations and CFD simulations. From the calculation, the cooling load requirement is 58.22 kW, for the cooling process an air flowrate of 7117 L/s is needed which is designed to pass through the main ducting in rectangular shape. The main ducting size uses 1200 mm x 500 mm at a speed of 12.7 m/s according to ASHRAE. Autodesk Inventor software is used for ducting modeling and Autodesk CFD is used for airflow simulation. CFD simulations are performed by applying boundary conditions and input parameters. The results showed that the velocity of the ducting design was suitable at 12.7 m/s with laminar flow. The ducting geometry must be designed aerodynamically to reduce the pressure drop which can cause the speed to increase so that it is outside the required limits. Thus, the CFD simulation results have verified the validity of manual calculations.

Abstract

Constructing a small-scale hydroelectric power station that can run efficiently at a head lower than 10 m is one possible method for reducing the impact of the electricity crisis in remote areas of Indonesia. The Archimedes Screw turbine is one type of turbine that is ideal for discharges below 10 m. In this study, the simulation results show that the value of Turbulences Kinetic Energy is directly proportional to the increase in flow rate but inversely proportional to the level of immersion. This type of turbine is unless well in Indonesia due to a lack of information regarding the application of low head power plants. The turbine model that is suitable for the low head is investigated in this study. Before being tested, the turbine is first designed theoretically and then numerically evaluated. With discharges of 1 l/s, 2 l/s, and 3 l/s and turbine immersion levels of 30%, 50%, and 70%, ANSYS CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) software was used to investigate flow rate and level of immersion in the turbine. According to the investigation findings, the discharge has a considerable impact on the turbine's movement; the higher the flow rate, the higher the power to the turbine, which produces a torque on the turbine. The simulation findings indicate that the value of Turbulence Kinetic Energy is proportional to the increase in flow rate but inversely proportional to the level of immersion.

Abstract

Screw compressor is one of critical equipment at many industries. Therefore, its reliability and performance shall be maintained. One problem that often arises with screw compressors is the lubrication system. This study investigates the cause of the screw compressor failure and its modification to prevent failure in the future. The failure analysis of the screw compressor was successfully conducted using the fishbone analysis diagram and visual examination. The presence of water in the oil was found due to a change of oil color. The water content analysis showed that 6% of water was found in the oil in the third month. Indeed, the presence of water has a detrimental effect on the screw compressor part, showing that corrosion has occurred in the inner part of the screw ompressor element. We found the water source comes from the air due to high humidity. Therefore, modification in the air supply is needed to prevent water contamination in the oil. The air supply modification is done using dry air at the screw compressor outlet, flowing into the breather system. The modification results showed that the oil's water content decreased significantly from 6% to 0.0035%. In addition, the vibration that occurs decreases from 80 dB to 58 dB. This shows the effectiveness of the modification process to extend the life of the tool and maintain the plant's operational continuity.

Abstract

Corrosion engineering has taken great interest in many industries that required high cost management to overcome the serious problems. This work has investigated the role of watermelon peel extract as green inhibitor to protect carbon steel in seawater. This investigation has studied the corrosion rate and inhibition efficiency applying weight loss method.  The laboratory result shows the optimum inhibition efficiency found to be 71.64% at 5% inhibitor concentration in 100 ml seawater at room temperature. The effects of temperature and immersion time on inhibition efficiency have also been examined.  This study has used Arrhenius equation based on activation energy to determine type of adsorption encountered with corrosion process. The result shows a chemical adsorption justified by its high adsorption heat and strengthened by FTIR and UV-Vis examinations. The phytochemical examination of watermelon peel extract gives positive response to flavonoid, alkaloid, and saponin. The finding is useful for many industries encountered with carbon steel corrosion in corrosive medium using green inhibitor.

Abstract

Gas stations (SPBU in Indonesia) have the potency for fire and explosion hazards due to the storage and distribution of flammable liquids, one of which is Pertamax. This can be a non-military threat in the dimension of public safety because if it occurs, the resulting loss could be very large in terms of material or life. This study aims to determine the risk of fire and explosion at Indonesian gas station. This study uses Dow's Fire and Explosion Index in asimulated case method. The potential for fire and explosion or the value of the Fire Explosion Index (F&EI) in the simulated case is 111,24. The actual exposure radius is 29.62 m and the damage factor to the Pertamax storage tank is 63%. The results of the study have a risk level that is classified as Intermediate, so it is necessary to control risks such as increasing active protection and is expected to be an input in efforts to safeguard against non-military threats so as to reduce the impact of risks and losses that occur in the Pertamax storage tank.

Abstract

Graphene Oxide is a material that has a thickness of one atom composed of carbon atoms to form a hexagonal lattice and a material that has unique properties, namely mechanical, optical, thermal, and electrical properties. Fe2O3 is a material that has magnetic properties and can be used for various applications such as enzyme separation, drug transport, microwave absorption, photocatalysts, biological applications, biomedicine, metal separation, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this study, the addition of graphene oxide was carried out using the coprecipitation method on Fe2O3 nanomaterials that had been treated with sintering and non-sintering. The coprecipitation method is the synthesis of inorganic compounds which is based on the deposition of more than one substance together when it passes the saturation point. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the addition of graphene oxide to the Fe2O3 material can increase the magnetic properties of the Fe2O3 material or vice versa. The result was that the sintering treatment on Fe2O3 GO did not have a transforming effect on its magnetic properties, but instead had a changing effect on its magnetic value. However, the magnetic coercivity value of Fe2O3 + GO 700 ºC increased to 0.038 Tesla. Thus, it can be concluded that at a temperature of 700 °C graphene oxide acts as a barrier from external magnetic fields in the opposite direction.

Abstract

The electricity is very important to support activities in office building .The equipment like AC ( Air conditioning ) needs more electricity to be operated. The is almost 60%  is use to support this system (AC). This percentage describe that air condition system is an equipment that needs more electricity in the office and its become inefficiency in using electricity. To take overcome for this problem we need to efficiency in using energy. One of the method that now used to efficient that energy is called “ energy conversation” This method is using to saving the energy There is one thing that must be done in this activity which is “ energy audit “. Audit energy is one of method calculate IKE (  Intension Consumption  Energy) at on the building.The first preliminary audit shown that more energy, which 60% is use to operated the air conditioning (AC) system and 30% to operate lighting system. IKE for the lighting system is still below from maximum standard  which is 15 watt/m²The opportunity of saving energy on audit energy in AC system is done by cleaning up consist of : cleaning up filter, propeller corner fin of the evaporator, and the grill of in door unit.
