Abstract

Biohydrogen plants consist of several units, one of them is the compressor unit. The compressor unit serves to increase the pressure needed for the next processing unit. In real conditions, several disturbances may occur in the process, affecting the stability of the system. Therefore, process control is needed for this system. Co-simulation is done by integrating Aspen plus dynamics for the nonlinear model of the compressor unit and MATLAB/Simulink for the control system model and mathematical calculation. Multivariable model predictive control (MMPC) is considered to control the system of the compressor unit. Three MPC parameters such as sampling time (Ts), prediction horizon (P), and control horizon (M) are set to 0.5, 50, and 30 seconds. The co-simulation gives various results. The highest overshoot is 19.6278 kPa in CV3 when SP on CV1 changed. The longest settling time occurred in CV4 when SP in CV4 was changed, 47.2729 seconds. The highest IAE is 14.8831, which occurred in CV4 when the SP of CV4 changed, and ISE is 200.7517 in CV3 when the SP of CV1 is altered.

Abstract

The productivity of palm trees grown is generally measured in monthly and yearly periods, but on a shorter time scale, it is particularly measured by the plant maintenance of palm trees. Consideration of the general productivity in time is how to produce good fruit fertilizer (chemical aspect), healthy plants, fast growing and evolving (agricultural aspect), and genetic type of palm that grows (biological aspect). However, the growth and production on the physical aspect is still less attention. Through physical treatment, the growth of palm trees can be optimized to support aspects of the previous aspects, as it has been proven in advanced countries on the plant's aloe vera, avocado, and pine trees. In this paper, the methodology proposes a direct current voltage treatment to the palm tree that can accelerate the flow of ions to grow and develop nutrients. The palm tree samples are aged 1 to 5 years corresponding to the provision of 10, 16, 25, 35, and 50 V for each of the ages of the palm tree respectively. Identifying samples before and after treatment by electricity is based on the geometry of leaves, midribs, and ions effect. There have been reduced and increased levels of nutrients. This identification can optimize the productivity of palm trees.

Abstract

The salinity sensor is a salt level detection tool designed based on the electrical properties of water. The salinity sensor consists of two electrodes that are dipped in water where the sensor is given a potential difference so that electrons flow in the sensor-building circuit. The electrode is connected to a variable resistor which forms a voltage divider circuit connection. This research aims to design a metamaterial (MTM) sensor to detect salt levels in the 100 – 900 MHz range and investigate the performance of MTM sensors for detecting salt levels. The working MTM sensor design has been successfully designed and tested, where the MTM sensor is also able to differentiate frequency values from samples with different salt levels.

Abstract

Optical technology has experienced extraordinary developments in recent years and the development of optical fibers continues to be carried out for various applications, namely optical sensors, long-distance communications, and health monitoring so that they can be applied in monitoring high temperatures in petroleum plants. Optical fiber has properties that cannot interfere with electromagnetic waves, which is an advantage compared to conventional cables besides optical fibers are able to transmit data quickly and reach very far across continents. However, the signal in the optical fiber that is carried in the form of pulses can experience widening, this widening is a result of changes in the refractive index, constituent materials, and losses due to fiber optic connection which will decrease the quality of the received signal. One way to reduce the pulse widening in a single-mode optical fiber is to split the fiber core into several layers to obtain zero dispersion in the single-mode optical fiber. Another thing is that we can influence the effect of the inner layer of the fiber core on the desired zero dispersion. After designing the optical core by making several layers, it was found that the dispersion was not found in the 6 and 7 core layers while the fibers with layers 2, 3, 4, and 5 had different wavelengths for zero dispersion. Furthermore, the effective area or area that is passed by the optical signal and the largest fiber mode diameter is obtained on 3-layer fibers with a value of 230.0454 mm2 and 17.1144 mm each seen from the delay of layer groups 2, 5, 6, and 7 experiencing a group decline for each wavelength while fiber With layers 3 and 4 experiencing an increase in group delay from the experimental data it was found that cores with 6 and 7 layers would not find the desired zero dispersion while optical fibers with the best layers transmit signals were cores with 3 layers.

Abstract

Water infiltration is one important factor for plant growth. Water that cannot seep into the pores of the soil creates a pool of water so that soil permeability is low. From these conditions, it is necessary to conduct research to determine the rate of water seepage in the soil. This study aims to analyze. The rate of water seepage on the ground by utilizing the difference in floating voltage. Based on the difference in floating voltage, two-dimensional modeling of the stress distribution and the distribution of water infiltrate time into the ground using the method of adding water repeatedly. The sample in this study consisted of 2 types of soil, compost and sand. Land with high permeability can increase the rate of infiltration thereby reducing the rate of water. The results of this study concluded that the pore size and particle arrangement greatly affect the rate of water seepage.

Abstract

The low antenna performance is a concern for researchers to overcome in modern technology. As an effort to overcome this problem, the application of the metamaterial structure to the antenna was carried out to increase the antenna parameters. This study aims to analyze the effect of antenna performance due to the influence of variations in the combination and radius of the SRR hexagonal metamaterial. The research was conducted in a simulation, starting with designing the antenna structure with the metamaterial of two rings into a resonator with a radius variation of 2.5 mm and 2.7 mm, then combining one to four hexagonal SRRs. The results showed that the highest antenna performance was obtained from a combination of four hexagonal SRRs for a radius of 2.7 mm with parameter values in the form of return loss -38.95 dB, a bandwidth of 7.88 GHz at a working frequency of 1.12 – 9.00 GHz and a gain of 5.92 dBi.

Abstract

Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is an optical sensor component that has better performance than other optical and electronic components. FBG has a very high sensitivity to changes in temperature and strain, is small in size, and is resistant to electromagnetic wave interference and multiplexing. In this study, FBG is used to monitor the fluid flow rate in a pipe by analyzing changes in the output power generated by the FBG. This research was designed by varying the pipe diameter, measurement position, and fluid flow rate. The diameters of the pipes used are 5.95, 7.01, 8.79, and 10.32 mm. The fluid flow rate that passes through each pipe is also varied. The measuring position is placed at 1/3 2/3, and 3/3 pipe diameter. The fluid flow rate and the output power generated by this FBG are measured using an anemometer and optical power meter respectively. The FBG used in this study has a center wavelength of 1310 nm and 1550 nm. In this study, the value of power generated from pipe 1 of position 1 FBG with a wavelength of 1550 nm is 15.1 dBm, while at a wavelength of 1310 nm is -26.23 dBm which indicates that the power generated from FBG with a wavelength of 1310 is the biggest. The speeds obtained at pipe position 1 from the anemometer measurements are 0.79, 1, 1.82, and 2.22 m/s which are directly proportional to the power generated at the 1550 wavelength FBG, -15.1, -15.12, -15.47, and -15.43 dBm, respectively. So it can be concluded that the greater the speed generated by the fluid flow, the greater the power generated.

Abstract

The density value and plasma reaction rate are the physical quantities needed to produce plasma. Both are used to estimate the heat energy and operating time of the plasma. Argon plasma at atmospheric pressure is widely used in industry. Density values and plasma reaction rates were obtained by computational modeling using the continuity equation and the Arrhenius equation obtained from experimental data. Five argon species were used in this research including Ar*, Ar+, Ar2+, Ar, and electron. Plasma equilibrium occurs in time intervals of 10-12 – 10-3 seconds with a temperature of 2 eV. The overall thermal argon plasma equilibrium density ranges within the interval 109 – 1016 m-3. The value of the fastest reaction rate obtained is equal to 2.482 × 104 m-3.s-1 until the smallest reaction rate is obtained equal to 14.613 × 10-34 m-3.s-1.
