Abstract

Energy consumption in the building sector, particularly for air conditioning (AC), accounts for approximately 30% of global energy use and one-third of greenhouse gas emissions. In urban areas, the use of conventional materials such as red bricks and concrete blocks contributes to increased indoor temperatures, thereby raising electricity demand. One promising solution is thermal energy storage technology using Phase Change Materials (PCM). This study presents an experimental investigation of heat absorption in 30×30×15 cm concrete specimens with the addition of paraffin and beeswax PCM encapsulated in plastic balls. The PCM content was varied at 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% of the concrete volume. Heating was applied using three 160-watt incandescent lamps. The results showed that concrete containing PCM absorbed more heat than the control specimens. Heat absorption by paraffin was 8.19%, 9.83%, and 16.39%, while beeswax achieved 4.91%, 8.19%, and 14.75%. These findings suggest that the use of PCM encapsulated in plastic balls can enhance the thermal energy efficiency of concrete and reduce electricity consumption in buildings.

Abstract

Technology development aims to simplify work and improve equipment efficiency, including modifying the dry leaf chopper to optimize chopping results. This modification focuses on variations in the angle and thickness of the blade to obtain finer shreds that meet the needs. This study aims to determine the most effective cutting angle and blade thickness in producing the best shreds. The research was conducted at the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory of Samudra University in August 2024. The blades used varied in cutting angles of 30°, 20°, and 10° and thicknesses of 3 mm and 5 mm. The quantitative analysis method was applied in this study using the independent sample T-test to evaluate the effectiveness of each variable. The results showed that a blade angle of 10° was the most effective angle for softening the chopped dry leaves. In addition, the most optimal blade thickness to produce fine shreds was 3 mm. This modification shows a significant improvement compared to the previous shredder, which used an angle and blade thickness with less than optimal results. With this research, it is expected that the dry leaf shredder can function more efficiently and produce shreds that meet the standards

Abstract

This study aims to design and analyze a heat pipe condenser for heat absorption in the patchouli essential oil distillation process. The condenser was equipped with 6 heat pipes to condense patchouli essential vapor into liquid. In this design, the pan used is made of stainless steel with a capacity of 5 kg. In this study, a spiral copper pipe is also equipped to support heat absorption during the patchouli essential oil distillation process. In this study, several tests were carried out. the first without using a heat pipe, then a test equipped with a heat pipe, and the last using a heat pipe but not using water in a stainless steel pan. From the results of the study after the distillation of patchouli essential oil is as follows with testing without using a heat pipe on the condenser, the results of the absorption power were 840 J, and those using heat pipes had an absorption power of 42,924 J, and those using heat pipes but not using water in the pan had an absorption power of 39,900 J. Where in this study the heat pipe successfully absorbed heat power during the distillation process of patchouli essential oil.

Abstract

This LPG gas-fueled metal heating furnace is designed to support heat treatment and metal smelting processes in small to medium-scale industries. With dimensions of 50 × 90 × 67 cm, this furnace is equipped with a 3600 RPM Sumura burner and blower to improve combustion efficiency and even heat distribution. The wall structure consists of SK32 firebrick, a fireproof blanket, caliboard, and an iron plate as outer protection. This layered insulation system aims to contain the heat in the combustion chamber so that it does not propagate out excessively. Tests showed that the combustion chamber temperature (T6) reached 1023°C in 60 minutes. The temperature decreases gradually from the inner to the outer layers: T5 (SK32 brick) 832°C, T4 (outer brick) 69°C, T3 (fiber blanket) 49°C, T2 (clapboard) 45°C, and T1 (iron plate) 43°C. The total heat transfer by conduction was recorded at 20.671 kW. These results show that the layered insulation design is effective in maintaining thermal efficiency and improving user safety. This furnace design has great potential to be applied in metal heat treatment activities by small industry players because it is energy efficient, easy to control, and economical. This research also opens up further development opportunities, such as the integration of an automatic control system and optimization of the shape of the combustion chamber.

Abstract

The availability of clean water has become a major challenge due to population growth and climate change, despite 97.5% of the Earth's surface consisting of water, only 2.5% is suitable for consumption. Desalination has become an important solution to convert seawater into fresh water. One of the technologies used is the parabolic solar concentrator, which focuses sunlight to a single point to generate steam. Research using a parabola measuring 71.98 cm × 50 cm with a focal point of 62 cm produced 0.88 liters of distilled water with a cooler and 0.23 liters without a cooler. The efficiency increased from 11% to 12.5% with the use of a cooler. Spiral tubes also help to reduce the temperature of the outgoing steam, enhancing the effectiveness of the system.
