Abstract

Global climate change causes environmental temperatures to rise resulting in thermal comfort problems in humans. Thermal comfort is needed by humans in their daily lives. If thermal comfort is not met properly, it can inhibit activity, and reduce the quality of life. Humans spend 87% of their time in the building performing various activities. To improve thermal comfort in the building, air conditioning systems such as air conditioners are needed, but increased use of air conditioners will increase electricity consumption. Samudra University's multipurpose building with a glass envelope and orientation of the building in the direction of the rising sun results in direct solar radiation entering the building. The wave nature of solar radiation when it enters the glass becomes a short wave and cannot return through the glass to get out so the temperature inside increases. To minimize radiation entering the building, it is necessary to add a green facade that can absorb solar radiation heat. However, studies on the effect of green facades on buildings with glass material envelopes are still unknown. The purpose of this research is to examine how the influence of solar radiation entering the Samudra University multipurpose building on thermal comfort with experimental study methods and MATLAB simulations to obtain a thermal comfort index. The results showed that with the green façade, the indoor temperature at 12:46 pm was 38.16 ºC in the part planted with plants, while the top of the room was the hottest part because at the top there was no obstruction from the sun on the roof of the building. Based on the simulation results show that the green façade of heat entering the building undergoes absorption first so that the temperature inside the building is lower than the environment which will improve thermal comfort.

Abstract

Efforts to manage waste are being undertaken at all levels, from households to large factories that produce waste daily. The imbalance between waste production and management has made waste a significant environmental issue. One of the most challenging types of waste to decompose naturally (non-biodegradable) is plastic waste, which constitutes the largest quantity compared to other types of waste. According to statistical data, the amount of non-biodegradable waste disposed of daily at final disposal sites in several cities in Indonesia is 6,598.23 tons per day. This research has both general and specific objectives. The general objective is to utilize plastic waste as a material for making paving blocks, while the specific objective is to analyze the compressive strength properties of paving blocks made from plastic waste. By exploring the potential of plastic waste in construction materials, this study aims to provide a sustainable solution to the plastic waste problem and contribute to environmental preservation. This study used 4 types of specimens where Specimen A consisted of 80% plastic waste and 20% glass powder. Specimen B consisted of 60% plastic waste and 40% glass powder, Specimen C consisted of 40% plastic waste and 60% glass powder, Specimen D consists of 20% plastic waste and 80% glass powder. The research results showed that Specimen B achieved the highest average compressive strength value of 10.9 Mpa, indicating significant potential in supporting material strength. On the other hand, Specimen D showed the lowest average compressive strength value with only 1.2 Mpa, indicating the need for further composition adjustments to increase the material's strength.

Abstract

Solar water heaters are widely utilized for domestic hot water production, leveraging solar energy as a renewable and sustainable resource. However, the intermittent nature of solar radiation limits their efficiency, particularly during periods of low solar intensity or at night. This study investigates the thermal performance enhancement of solar water heaters through the integration of phase change materials (PCMs), specifically paraffin, within flat plate collectors. The paraffin PCM is placed within an additional pipe in the collector to store excess thermal energy during peak sunlight hours and release it when solar radiation is insufficient. Experimental tests were conducted to measure temperature fluctuations, heat storage capacity, and overall system efficiency with and without PCM integration. The results indicate that the addition of paraffin PCM significantly improves the system’s ability to retain heat, maintaining water temperatures above 50 °C for extended periods and increasing the overall efficiency of the solar water heater by 17.10%. This study demonstrates the potential of PCM-enhanced solar water heaters in optimizing energy use and improving thermal efficiency, making them more effective in regions with variable solar exposure.

Abstract

The selection of turning speed is very important because the turning process affects the quality of the work, especially in the metal industry and small or medium-sized industries. To meet production needs, the rotational speed of the lathe can be adjusted to various spindle speed levels. Variations in speed will cause the workpiece to differ in terms of flatness and smoothness. The turning process begins with a linear motion along the axis of the AISI 1040 steel workpiece, with a slow feed of 2 mm. Smooth and even results were obtained at speeds of 80 rpm, 105 rpm, 160 rpm, 250 rpm, 380 rpm, 480 rpm, 750 rpm, and 1200 rpm. The turning test was conducted once with a diameter of 25 mm. The surface roughness from the turning process is influenced by various factors, including the spindle speed and the cutting angle used. Each workpiece processed on the machine tool certainly produces a different surface roughness. This research aims to determine the effect of the cutting angle and spindle speed on the surface roughness of AISI 1040 carbon steel. The Experimental Method is more suitable for this research to determine the effect of surface roughness and spindle rotation on AISI 1040 steel specimens. The material used has a diameter of 25 mm and a length of 80 mm, with a cutting depth of 2 mm. Meanwhile, the spindle speeds used were 1200 rpm, 750 rpm, 480 rpm, 380 rpm, 250 rpm, 160 rpm, 105 rpm, and 80 rpm. Surface roughness was measured using a surface roughness tester. The research results showed that the lowest surface roughness value in the specimen testing with a spindle speed of 1200 rpm was 0.679 µm, while the highest surface roughness was obtained at a spindle speed of 80 rpm, which was 5.260 µm. The conclusion of this research is that spindle speed affects the surface roughness value, where a smaller cutting angle results in a rougher surface, and a higher spindle speed results in a smoother surface.
