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.

Abstract

In this study, ImageJ has been used to process fluorescence spectroscopic images of spinach leaf treated with three variations of sunlight. In addition, apples and tomatoes are also used in imaging by treatment immersed in hot water, pierced, and pressed. Leaf and fruits are illuminated by laser diodes and LEDs of different wavelengths. ImageJ is used to calculate the RGB and gray values of the image with two segmentations, namely the intact image and the threshold. The results show that the thresholding method gives the best results because it automatically reduces the image background. In addition, the threshold background can also be easily set in this imaging. For the spinach leaf experiment, LED with a wavelength of 680 nm showed significant differences in each treatment of sunlight intensity. Meanwhile, in the apple and tomato experiment, the diode laser with a wavelength of 405 nm showed significant results. Both types of fruit with this puncture treatment turned out to provide higher intensity than pressed fruit.

Abstract

Research on the model of sound wave propagation in the ocean on the axis of the deep sound channel has been carried out using discrete acoustic ray propagation with varying beam lengths. This study aims to obtain parameter values in the form of maximum angle of incidence and effective beam length to simulate acoustic wave propagation around the axis of the deep sound channel. The research was conducted by simulating the acoustic beam at a depth with the minimum acoustic velocity value by varying the angle of incidence and the length of the applied beam. In this study, constant acoustic velocity gradient and gradient data were used. Calculation of the velocity gradient from discrete data using the Euler-Crommer formula. From this research, it can be seen that at a depth of 854 m the minimum acoustic velocity is 1487.53 m/s. For a constant gradient with a value of 0.054 and variations in beam length from 1 m to 4 m, the maximum angle of incidence is 0.4 radians. Analytically, the radius of curvature of the rays is 28107.12 m. Comparing the analysis and computation results, there is a very small error of 0.02%, so this model can be used to simulate acoustic wave propagation based on real data gradients. The gradient pattern based on real data and variations in beam length from 1 m to 4 m, obtained a maximum angle of incidence of 0.4 radians.

Abstract

The application of wave transmission in telecommunication optical fiber still has problems in the form of dispersion. For this reason, it is necessary to design and operate optical fiber dispersion that is shifted or not concentric with simulation as the first step in designing which is easier, cheaper and has a high level of accuracy. The purpose of this study was to analyze the design and operation of the displaced optical fiber dispersion and determine the wavelength value at the minimum dispersion value using OptiFiber software. The input parameters consist of the refractive index of the optical fiber in the range of 1.4615 to 1.44692 and the wavelength range of 1.4 µm to 1.5 µm. The dispersion result obtained is a minimum wavelength of 1.5506 µm. This result is close to the theoretical value of 1.55 µm with attenuation and dispersion at one wavelength point. The results of this study can be used for validation in experiments.
