Abstract

This paper investigates the ionization of butane and propane gas in the formation of carbon plasma with air impurities. The formation of carbon plasma is designed and operated by using a commercial pencil graphite electrode with a directionally electrical discharge method of less than 3.5 kV, injecting butane and propane gas with a mixture of air, pressure variations into the tube. Experimental results show the voltage and current before and after the breakdown voltage. The density and temperature of the plasma carbon are calculated from the current and the breakdown voltage. These results depicts that the ionization of air at a pressure of 12 cmHg (570 V) produces a breakdown voltage of 530 – 570 V and current of 0.27 – 0.45 mA, whereas at pressure of 37 cmHg (1160 V) produces breakdown voltage of 900 – 1100 V and current of 0.46 – 0.6 mA. The ionization of the butane and propane (with impurities of air) at pressure of 26 cmHg (1199 V and 1137 V) produces breakdown voltage of 831 – 1202 V, 839 – 1138 V and current of 0.07 – 0.65 mA, 0.08 – 0.63 mA. At the pressure of 46 cmHg (1828 V and 1590 V) produces breakdown voltage of 1246 – 1781 V, 1021 – 1627 V and current of 0.04 – 0.99 mA, 0.05 – 1.12 mA. These results indicate that the carbon plasma density increases with the increase of electrical voltage. This report shows good agreements for developing the growth of carbon nano tube on the surface of cathode which is generally always followed by air impurities at high pressure.

Abstract

A study was conducted to measure the growth rate of catfish (Pangasius sp.) due to feeding on a mixture of fermented mustard and cabbage waste flour (FMCWF). Catfish are distributed in each container per box, consisting of five fish with an initial weight of 3 – 5 grams. During 56 days of cultivation, three times a day were fed with a feeding rate of 5%. The randomized block design method was used as the concept of this research. There were five treatments and each treatment was repeated three times. The type of catfish feed provided consisted of factory feed and its mixture with different percentages of FMCWF: P0 (manufactured feed brand Matahari Sakti); P1 (FMCWF 15%); P2 (FMCWF 30%); P3 (FMCWF 45%); and P4 (FMCWF 60%). Observations were made on several parameters such as absolute weight growth, feed conversion ratio, and water quality. Based on the analysis of variance (ANOVA) test, the results showed that the growth rate of catfish was influenced by FMCWF with a significant effect (p < 0.05). The best growth rate was given to P2 treatment (FMCWF 30%) with an absolute weight growth of 8.11 grams and a feed conversion ratio of 1.5.

Abstract

Fiber optics are the right transmission medium to monitor the movement of the human body, one of them is knee activity. Single-mode fiber (SMF) and fiber Bragg grating (FBG) as sensing sensors that can monitor damage to bad conditions of the human joint area so can prevent further damage. The purpose of this study was to design fiber optic-based belts due to macrobending with sinusoidal patterns, determine the relationship of knee benders with average power change of SMF and FBG, measure changes in power loss (L) fiber optics as a function of optical fiber diameter (d) and knee angle, and determine the optimum sensitivity (S) of SMF and FBG in detecting knee bending. The results showed that L of 0.0751 dB and S of 0.017442 dB are the largest values produced from the SMF belt with values d of 12 mm and knee angle of 180°. The values L of 2.0177 dB and S of 0.591382 dB are the largest values produced from FBG belts with values d of 8 mm and knee angle of 180°. The results of this study explain that FBG is more effective to use because it has a higher S value than SMF.

Abstract

In this study, we analyzed the reflective and structural nature of natural freshwater pearls that originated from Sabah, Malaysia. Seven color pearls from brightest to darkest ones were examined and analyzed by UV-Vis spectroscopic and electron microscopic techniques. Results showed that the UV-Vis spectrum of black shows that reflection occurs at 530 – 540 nm, 600 – 610 nm, 660 nm, and 690 nm which are reflective of green, yellow, and red. However, it mainly differs from other color spectrums as it shows great absorption at wavelengths 270 – 300 nm. Meanwhile, white pearl reflects most of the visible color at wavelength 400 nm, 450 – 470 nm, 550 nm, 600 – 630 nm, and 665 nm which represent all colors possessed by the visible spectrum. FESEM studies show the formation of tablet structures in smooth layers transition between vaterite and aragonite in black pearl. The structural arrangement of its layers is closer and there are many big circular spots on the copper pearl. Besides, the pearl’s surface looks a bit rough. The layer of aragonite platelets in hexagonal shape gives the pearl's prismatic layer in pinkish pearl. Meanwhile, the arrangement of vaterite layers looks smooth and the layers of the stack are arranged in parallel in white pearl. The different morphology of pearl reflects the different colors as well.

Abstract

In the complex, mature, and large oilfields, there is a need for Integrated solution in order to have a helicopter view of entire facilities throughput. The real time metering information provides an on-demand daily data and trend. However, it is rarely being connected to analytics solution for business intelligence such as, prediction, optimization, decision support and forecast. This paper cover about exploratory data analysis of large dataset of multiple hydrocarbon facilities metering within integrated network, performing multi-feature data clustering and making a time-series forecasting techniques. K-means and PCA are combined to make cluster of production facilities which resulted with gas processing cluster, high oil producer, high water processing station, and the lowest performer in term in hydrocarbon processing. Furthermore, VAR and LSTM are compared as forecasting tools for day-to-day fluid prediction, to maintain normal operational scenario.

Abstract

Although many manifold shapes have been studied, research on venturi-shaped manifolds with holes smaller than the inner diameter of the pipe, hereinafter referred to as T-reducer, has so far not been found. This research studies the effect of hole diameter and Reynolds number on the debit that comes out of the branch pipe. The venturi hole diameter is varied from 40% to 80% of the main pipe diameter, while the bulk velocity is varied from 2 to 10 m/s. The research started by creating a 3D T-reducer model, followed by CFD simulation using Fluent software. From the simulation results, curve fitting is performed using multiple regression to obtain an equation which is the correlation of dimensionless numbers. The maximum difference between the flow coefficient obtained from the curve fitting equation and the CFD simulation results is 3.35%.

Abstract

The development of methods to generate artificial plasma continues to be carried out for industrial purposes in machines and production products. To overcome experimental problems in modeling development, various methods have been carried out. One of the methods used is to simulate the air in a microwave oven. This simulation will describe the electric field distribution of each mode to identify the plasma by introducing the cutoff frequency. Ionization gas with a composition of 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, and 1% other gases at a pressure of 1 atm. The microwave oven chamber is made of an iron conductor in the form of a beam with dimensions 29 × 29 × 19 cm3, with a continuous supply of 800 W and 220 V. Power loss as a function of frequency shows the cutoff frequency using an S-parameter graph and electric field distribution as a function of position in each mode. The plasma formed is in modes 20, 01, and 11 because the electric field exceeds the breakdown voltage value to generate plasma, which is 6 × 106 V/m. The bigger the electric field, the more plasma is produced, which is indicated in the mode positions in the microwave oven.

Abstract

Electronic noses have been developed as an artificial sense to imitate the human nose based on volatile gases. They have been used in agriculture to monitor and predict fruit qualities such as ripeness and chemical contents. Electronic noses with semiconductor gas sensors have a limitation of volatile gases detected. Therefore, optical electronic noses using an output coupler become an alternative due to the wavelength dependency of the gas types. The ripeness of oil palm fresh fruit bunches (FFBs) is one of the main factors in determining the quality of crude palm oil. Electronic detection is preferable to substitute the manual methods for ripeness detection. This study built an optical electronic nose and analyzed the wavelength dependence on the detection performance. The electronic nose consisted of an infrared LED and a photodiode enclosed in a chamber, a microcontroller, and a sample chamber. We tested four infrared LEDs with 760, 780, 840, and 910 nm wavelengths. The samples were fruitlets taken from oil palm FFBs, previously categorized as unripe, ripe, and overripe. The fruits were grounded, inserted into the sample chamber, and preheated to increase the volatile gas concentration.  Trapezoid areas represented the time-varying output voltages for each LED. The results showed that overripe fruits had slightly higher trapezoid areas. LED of 840 nm wavelength obtained higher trapezoid areas. LED of 780 nm was the best candidate for the electronic nose due to linearity in increasing trapezoid areas. The results showed the potential of the optical electronic nose for oil palm fruits.

Abstract

Birefringence characterization has been carried out for single-mode fiber (SMF) consisting of SMF-28, SMF-28e, SMF-28e+, SMF-28e+LL, and SMF-28ULL. The parameters that were varied were the refractive index of the core and the cladding, while the radii of both were equal to the wavelength of 1550 nm. Birefringence characterized by simulation can determine the quality of SMF by knowing the changes in the light propagation constant caused by polarized light on optical fibers. The simulation results show that in SMF-28ULL there is a propagation constant or birefringence which has a large influence compared to other types of SMF such as the magnitude of polarization and reducing power.

Abstract

Quantitative research has been conducted on the effect of rainfall and wind speed on lightning events in Pekanbaru City from August to October 2018. Observation data were obtained from Meteorological Station Class I Sultan Syarif Kasim II Pekanbaru, Riau Province, Indonesia. Observations are made by recording lightning events automatically using a lightning detector which will be analyzed using the Lightning Analysis program version 7.2 and the Google Earth Pro program. The results showed that high rainfall caused frequent thunderstorms, and relatively high wind speeds from late September to October caused the number of lightning strikes to increase due to the ionization process that produces an electric charge.
