Abstract

Access to clean water is essential for human life and a key target of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. However, cities in developing countries, including Padang City, Indonesia, face significant challenges in meeting the growing demand due to population growth and limited water infrastructure. This study used system dynamics modelling approach with Powersim Studio 10 to develop an integrated clean water management system for Padang City. The model simulates the dynamics of population growth, water consumption, production, and distribution efficiency over a 20-year period (2022–2042). Several policy scenarios—optimistic, moderate, and pessimistic—were tested to evaluate their impact on water availability. The baseline scenario predicts a continuous decline in clean water supply due to increasing population, high leakage rates (11.99%), and water wastage (2%), which surpass the water production growth rate (5.01%). As a result, a water deficit is expected. However, under the optimistic scenario, with increased production (10%), reduced leakage (8%), and reduced wastage (3%), Padang City could achieve a clean water surplus by 2042. The moderate and pessimistic scenarios still result in a deficit. This research highlights the value of the system dynamics modelling in forecasting urban water demand and assessing policy impacts. The findings emphasize the need for integrated planning, combining technical solutions and behavioural change, to ensure sustainable water management and support the achievement of SDG 6.

Abstract

This study focuses on optimizing the scanning parameters of the Artec Leo 3D Scanner to enhance scanning accuracy by minimizing geometric deviations. The experimental design utilizes the Taguchi L4(2³) orthogonal array method to examine the influence of three scanning factors: distance, angle, and lighting at two levels. A 16-inch car wheel, chosen for its geometric complexity, was scanned under various parameter combinations. The results indicated that the combination of indoor lighting, a 45° angle, and a scanning distance of 100 cm yielded the smallest deviation (0.5%) and the highest signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio (6.02 dB). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that the scanning distance contributed the most to the variation in scanning accuracy (65.09%), followed by lighting (34.64%) and angle (0.27%). A confirmation test with the optimal parameters further reduced the deviation to 0.4%, validating the effectiveness of the Taguchi method for parameter optimization. This study’s findings contribute valuable insights for industries that require high-precision 3D models, such as aerospace, automotive, and healthcare. The research demonstrates the importance of optimizing scanning parameters and offers a practical approach to improving 3D scanning processes. Future research can expand by exploring environmental conditions, scan resolution, and machine learning integration for real-time adjustments.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of the Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD) cooperative learning model, supported by flashcard media, in enhancing student learning outcomes in Manufacturing Technical Drawing at SMK Negeri 1 West Sumatra. A quasi-experimental control group design was employed, where the experimental group used the STAD method integrated with flashcards, and the control group received traditional lecture-based instruction. Post-test results showed that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group, achieving a higher mean score of 79.68 compared to 63.84, with an N-Gain score of 50.81%, indicating moderate improvement. The study found that the STAD model, combined with flashcards, boosted academic achievement and promoted more consistent and equitable learning outcomes. Flashcards played a vital role by simplifying complex concepts and enhancing student engagement. This study fills a gap in vocational education by demonstrating the effectiveness of combining cooperative learning and visual aids in technical education. The research offers valuable insights for educators in similar contexts, proposing a cost-effective and scalable instructional method that can be applied across various technical disciplines. However, the study’s limitation lies in its short-term implementation, and further research is needed to explore the long-term effects of this combined learning strategy.

Abstract

The rapid evolution of digital technologies has opened new opportunities for transforming vocational education, particularly in CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining. Despite its vital role in preparing skilled workers, CNC instruction in Indonesian vocational schools remains constrained by teacher-cantered methods, static materials, and limited access to costly machines, resulting in low engagement and achievement. This study aimed to design, implement, and evaluate Android-based Augmented Reality (AR) learning media for CNC TU-2A machines to enhance students’ cognitive performance, psychomotor skills, and classroom participation. Using a Classroom Action Research (CAR) model across two cycles, the research involved 31 eleventh-grade Mechanical Engineering students at SMK Negeri 5 Padang. Data were collected through cognitive tests, student activity observations, and surveys. Results showed significant improvements: average cognitive scores rose from 75.91 to 82.47, classical mastery increased from 54.83% to 100%, and psychomotor scores improved by 3.24 points. Student learning activities also climbed from 72.2% to 80.4%, with discussion and collaboration showing the highest gain (17%). While barriers such as device limitations and technical issues arose, they were addressed through device sharing, offline content, and teacher mentoring. Findings confirm AR as an effective, scalable tool for modernizing CNC instruction, fostering engagement, and preparing vocational students for Industry 4.0 learning demands.

Abstract

Wind is an abundant energy source available in nature, which is renewable and environmentally friendly with high work efficiency. Indonesia has a wind potential of 978 MW, with wind speeds ranging from 6-8 m/s in onshore areas to above 8 m/s in offshore areas. Therefore, we should be able to capitalize on this energy resource. This paper will analyze the performance of NREL's 822 taperless type using the Q-Blade application. The research method used begins with a literature study to find natural parameters that will be later calculated using Excel to obtain the geometry parameters of the blades. Then, the data is entered into the Q-blade software by dividing the blades into ten elements and optimizing them. The blade material used in the manufacture is mahogany wood. This paper will discuss the manufacture of taperless blades with NREL's 822 airfoil. The blades were previously designed using MS Excel and Q-Blade applications and then further designed using the Solid Work application.

Abstract

The increasing demand for energy, driven by population growth and reduced sources of oil reserves, puts pressure on every country to produce and use renewable energy as a substitute. One of the alternative energy sources is biogas, which is produced using EM4 bacteria that balance microorganisms. In this study, microorganism inoculants consisting of 90% Lactobacillus, produced from cow dung, were accommodated in an HDPE plastic container with a volume of 1 m3. Data collection was carried out from the first to the fourteenth day, with pressure data retrieved using a pressure gauge, temperature data retrieved using a thermometer gun, and the volume of biogas measured using an Arduino-based flow meter. The study found that a 1x1 meter HDPE polymer container can accommodate a maximum biogas volume of 208.12 liters. In the non-continuous system, the volume of biogas produced is not stable. The total volume of biogas produced before going through the filter for 14 days was 1075.12 liters with an average volume of 76.79 liters/day, while the total volume of biogas that had been through the filter for 14 days was 995.71 liters with an average volume of 71.12 liters/day.

Abstract

Chassis is the most important part of a truck, because it is closely related to the safety and weight of the truck. The profiles used for truck chassis differ as follows: C-channel, U-channel and rectangular tube. This study aims to reveal the most ideal profile for use as a truck chassis. The study was conducted using finite element analysis. The study conducted was buckling analysis. The variables observed for each test profile are free vibration, buckling safety factor, and deformation scale. the C channel profile is most ideal for use as a truck chassis. The simulation results show that the C channel profile has a buckling safety factor > 1 and the smallest average deformation occurs in each shape mode. The U channel profile has a light weight, but the deformation that occurs in each shape is greater than that of the C channel. The rectangular tube profile has the greatest safety factor in each shape mode, but has the largest deformation scale and weight.

Abstract

The tail-shaft is one of the components of the apron feeder on the conveyor. Its role is quite significant, as it includes a take-up system to adjust the tension and slackness of the chain on the sprocket against the Lamella. Based on observations in a mining industry, it was found that tail-shaft damage frequently occurs, likely due to the excess load carried by the conveyor. Therefore, researchers were interested in investigating the maximum capacity of the tail-shaft. The research was conducted using the Finite Element Analysis method with Solidworks Research License. The material used for the tail-shaft is DIN 1.0038. Torque variations tested on the tail-shaft were from 42,000 N.m to 58,000 N.m. Based on the simulation results, the maximum torque that the tail-shaft can withstand is 54,000 N.m with a safety factor value greater than 1, whereas when given a torque of 58,000 N.m, the safety factor value is less than 1. The tail-shaft experiences a maximum stress that exceeds the yield strength of DIN 1.0038 material, which can cause damage to the material. The initial damage appears at the end of the shaft due to the use of chamfer. This is known based on the results of simulations that have been conducted.
