Abstract

The development of growth poles, urban activity centers, and service centers in Banda Aceh City has impacted the spread, a complex urban phenomenon challenging to measure due to urban sprawl. The increasing need for space in urban areas drives the development of suburban and random areas (urban sprawl). This is evident from the BPS Banda Aceh City data for 2024, where the population increased by 25.61% post-tsunami, affecting the density of each sub-district in Banda Aceh City. Research using Shannons Entropy Method and the Gravitational Model is necessary to prevent uneven growth in the city of Banda Aceh. The application of Shannons Entropy method in Banda Aceh City from 2010 to 2020 can be seen in the Relative Entropy Matrix, which shows that the linear spread pattern (Quadrant C) is more dominant in the districts of Banda Raya, Baiturrahman, Kuta Raja, Kuta Alam, Lueng Bata, and Syiah Kuala. The urban spread pattern of Banda Aceh tends to move towards the East, largely due to the landform factors that are very suitable for being developed into built-up areas. Meanwhile, the results of the gravity analysis show that the area of interaction with the most substantial interaction value as the growth pole is the interaction between Kuta Alam District and Baiturrahman District, with a value of 190,617,812.346 interactions. The results of identifying the factors influencing the development of urban sprawl, such as the distance to the CBD, the GRDP of Banda Aceh City, changes in land use, housing demand, and the availability of infrastructure facilities in the districts of Banda Aceh City, can be concluded that there is an influence of urban sprawl on the spatial structure and regional patterns in Banda Aceh City.

Abstract

The Sringin is a downstream river located in East Semarang. The Sringin River becomes the channel waste of the East Semarang district area. The Sringin River bank is surrounded by the Terboyo industrial area and settlement. The flood occurred in both areas, especially at Ngilir village, Genuk subdistrict. It is caused by low-capacity sedimentation channels and buildings occupying the channel body. The study aims to estimate flood discharge during repeat period 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 years on Sringin river downstream, analyze the capacity cross-section river, and identify the river water level profile when debit flowed with various period repeat flood. The hydrology calculation showed that flood discharge plans in the repeat period 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 years are 12.42; 16.67; 19.81; 30.7; 31.6; 33.22 m 3 /s. At the same time, the flow river capacity is 2.95 m/s in the upstream section and 15.52 m/s in the downstream section. Thus, floods occurred in some places when large discharges flowed. In period 2, the water level is about 1.0 to 1.5 meters. In more repeat periods, the level is higher. The conclusion is that the Sringin River cannot flow with perfect discharge, which exceeds its flow capacity.

Abstract

Landfills are generally considered the ultimate solution for waste management. However, the degradation process of plastic waste in landfills causes the release of microplastic particles into the surrounding environment and threatens human health. The distribution and properties of microplastics in four environment matrices, soil, leachate, river water, and well water surrounding the landfill, are examined in this study. Sampling was conducted at the inflow and outflow areas of the leachate ponds., The soil at the top (05 cm) and bottom (520 cm), upstream and downstream surface water adjacent to the landfill, and community wells within a radius of fewer than 700 meters from the landfill. Microplastic analysis used a gradual extraction method with saturated NaCl for density separation, 30% hydrogen peroxide for organic matter degradation, and 0.05 M FeSO4 as a catalyst. Physical character identification of microplastics using a microscope showed microplastic contamination at all study sites. The results showed an abundance of microplastics was found in well water samples (808 to 979 items/L), leachate (209 to 757 items/L), surface water (6.29 to 7.2 items/L), and soil (23,340 to 23,420 items/kg). Types of microplastics found consist of fragments, fibers, films, pellets, foam, and rods. The size of microplastics found ranged from 1.897 m to 1,642.79 m. Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy examination identified polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic compounds in soil and leachate materials. The high concentration of microplastics in well water indicates potential groundwater contamination from landfill activities that may impact the surrounding community. This study provides preliminary insights into how landfills may contribute to environmental microplastic contamination. It paves the way for further research to develop mitigation strategies.

Abstract

The removal of diazo red B dye was studied in water using the electrocoagulation method with an aluminum electrode. The study aimed to reduce the presence of harmful diazo red B dyes in the environment and their impact on living organisms. This study was conducted by testing various parameters with specified values. The initial dye concentrations were set at 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 mg/L, while the electrocoagulation times were varied at 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 minutes. The initial pH levels were adjusted to 5, 6, 7, and 8. The applied voltages were 2.5, 5, 7.5, 12.5 V, and the distances between electrodes varied at 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, and 2 cm. The study also examined the effects of initial dye concentration on electrocoagulation time, its interaction with pH, and the influence of pH on electrocoagulation time. These parameters aim to determine the optimum conditions for diazo red B removal, as measured by a UV-Vis spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 420 nm. The optimum removal efficiency of diazo red B was achieved with 94.32% for an initial dye concentration of 30 mg/L, 94.13% for an electrocoagulation time of 180 minutes, 96.00% at a pH of 6, 95.32% for a voltage of 7.5 V, and 95,75% for an electrode distance of 1.5 cm. Additionally, the efficiencies were 99.5% for concentration relative to time was 99.5%, for concentration relative to pH was 97.85%, and for pH relative to time was 96.00%. Additionally, the coagulant analysis of the electrocoagulation results was carried out using FTIR and morphological analysis of the surface of the damaged aluminum anode using an optical microscope.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant impacts on the environment since the use of disposable face masks leads to the accumulation of plastic waste. In this study, a two-step extrusion and injection molding was performed to manufacture polymer blends consisting of 80% used face mask and 20% fraction of one of these recycled polymer mixtures: polypropylene (PP), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and PET. ASTM D256 standard was used to evaluate the mechanical properties of the resulting polymer blend materials, while the physical performance was assessed by analyzing the shrinkage. It was found that adding other polymeric mixtures could not enhance the mechanical properties of pure disposable face masks, as measured by the impact strength. However, incorporating the recycled polymer into the face mask mixture is revealed to decrease shrinkage. Observation of the morphology surface of the fracture impact specimen using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) confirmed the less miscibility within the recycled polymer/face mask. The blend, which contains recycled PET, showed the lowest percentage of shrinkage. Taking advantage of its recyclability characteristic, this current work may provide an alternative approach for using the disposable face mask in low load-bearing applications.

Abstract

Phantoms are used to research image quality and the amount of attenuation as an organ simulation. If done in the human body, it would be hazardous. High radiation exposure can damage cells. Therefore, the phantom is made to resemble the properties and characteristics of a tissue so that the absorbed dose value can be analyzed according to the tissue in the organ. One use of 3D printing technology is in making phantoms. Radiology phantoms must have the same characteristics as human body tissue. This research varies the thickness and infill density of the phantom to get the suitable phantom based on material density, CT number, electron density, and effective dose. The materials used are Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) and Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG) with thickness variations of 1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm, and infill density variations of 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100 %. Based on the test parameters carried out, it was found that changes in thickness did not affect the material density, EDG, EDV, and Z eff of the sample. However, changes in thickness are proportional to the CT number and electron density values. Meanwhile, changes in infill density are proportional to changes in material density values, CT number, electron density, and EDV. However, changes in infill density do not affect the EDG and Z eff values. The values obtained for each parameter are compared with the reference organ. Samples made from TPU and PETG are suitable for lung, muscle, soft tissue, and spongy bone.

Abstract

Lagrange's equation is a formula in analytical mechanics used to solve problems with physical system dynamics. It allows mathematical modeling to simplify complex mechanical problems by changing the coordinate system, thus providing a deeper understanding of motion. In this research, a literature study was conducted using the Systemic Literature Review (SLR) method from 30 data sources, 24 of which were indexed by Scopus. A total of 11 articles have been reviewed with a focus on the application of Lagrange's equation in various technologies. The review results show that Lagrange multipliers provide a powerful tool for optimizing energy flow within complex smart grids. The benefits extend beyond smart grids. Lagrange's equations are a powerful mathematical tool applicable to various engineering challenges that involve finding optimal solutions under constraints.

Abstract

Energy independence is a government program aiming to meet society's energy needs evenly. Steps to increase energy independence in the new and renewable energy sector include hydro-energy generation. One of the important components of a hydro generator is the penstock pipe and turbine housing, which channels water and then pushes and drives (spins) the turbine with the flow of water to produce electrical energy. The turbine housing flow design innovation must provide a function as an optimal fluid conductor by minimizing the resistance that occurs when fluid flows towards the turbine housing and rotates the turbine optimally. The scope of this research includes analysis of the phenomenon of energy loss flowing in circular pipe slices in hydroelectric power plant turbine housings with influencing factors such as friction, turbulence, and flow resistance, as well as measuring the pressure drop in circular pipe slices. The model developed is a circular slice bend with angles of 180 degrees, 270 degrees, 360 degrees, and 450 degrees, taking into account the optimal curvature ratio (R/D) of 3.5. Based on previous research, 90-degree wedge bends with many slices (n_(90-degree)) 4 to 6 or 4 and pressure drop coefficient (C_(pd-th)) obtained 180-degree (0.333 0.200), 270-degree (0.445 0.277), 360-degree (0.527 0.339), 450-degree (0.587 0.390) with a bend length L, an elevation reduction angle and a 1.5D upstream-downstream elevation difference to avoid contact between the upstream and downstream bends. The results obtained from this research are the slice modules that can be used and the resistance coefficient values that arise from the slice modules. The more slices selected according to the angle of inclination chosen, the smoother the resulting circular bend shape and the lower the resistance value, but the work will be more difficult. The most optimal slice module is the number of slices that allow its implementation, and the resistance coefficient is small. By knowing the optimal resistance coefficient value, the resulting pressure drop can be predicted to maximize the thrust to rotate the turbine.
