Abstract

The integration of heat pipe technology into Solar Photovoltaic/Thermal (PV/T) systems presents a significant advancement for enhancing overall energy conversion efficiency by simultaneously generating electricity and recovering thermal energy. This review paper systematically examines the design, operational principles, performance, and future outlook of heat pipe-integrated PV/T systems. Heat pipes, as highly efficient passive two-phase heat transfer devices, effectively mitigate the critical issue of efficiency loss in PV modules caused by elevated operating temperatures. By utilizing internal evaporation-condensation cycles, they rapidly extract waste heat from PV cells, thereby lowering cell temperature, increasing electrical output, and enabling the recovery of useful thermal energy for applications such as water and space heating. The review categorizes and analyzes various heat pipe configurations, including conventional designs, Loop Heat Pipes (LHPs), and Pulsating Heat Pipes (PHPs), highlighting their respective advantages in terms of integration ease, long-distance heat transport, and high heat flux management. Despite their promising potential, key technological challenges such as thermal contact resistance, material compatibility, structural integrity, and economic viability are identified as barriers to widespread adoption. Future research directions emphasize the need for innovations in advanced materials (e.g., nanofluids), hybrid systems with Phase Change Materials (PCMs), optimized design through computational modeling, and the development of standardized testing protocols. Ultimately, heat pipe-integrated PV/T systems are poised to play a crucial role in the renewable energy transition, offering a compact, efficient, and sustainable solution for co-generation of electrical and thermal power.

Abstract

Advances in information technology have encouraged educational institutions to generate large amounts of student academic data, such as grades, attendance, and learning activities. However, in practice, this data is still mostly used for administrative purposes and has not been optimally utilized to improve the performance of the learning system. This study aims to analyze student academic performance patterns and optimize the performance of the academic data-based learning system at the senior high school (SMA) level from an industrial engineering perspective. This study uses a descriptive quantitative approach with a case study method at SMAS Al Azhar Medan. The research data consists of student academic data as secondary data and student perception data as primary data obtained through questionnaires. Data analysis techniques include descriptive statistical analysis, simple correlation analysis, and analysis of the gap between actual conditions and learning performance standards. The results show that attendance and assignment scores have a positive relationship with student learning outcomes. In addition, there is still a gap between actual learning performance and the ideal conditions set by the school. Based on these analysis results, this study produces recommendations for optimizing the learning system oriented towards process improvement and data-based learning decision making. This study is expected to be an initial reference in the development of an academic data-based learning system at the high school level.

Abstract

This research aims to develop a sustainable egg supply chain model through the application of Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM). The research method used is qualitative with a literature study approach, through analysis of various relevant national and international journals. The results of the study show that the main dimensions of GSCM that affect the sustainability of the egg supply chain include green purchasing, green manufacturing, green distribution, reverse logistics, and green collaboration. The application of this concept is able to reduce production waste, reduce carbon emissions, increase cost efficiency, and strengthen the competitiveness of egg products in the market. The resulting conceptual model describes a circular supply chain system, where waste and production by-products can be reused as new inputs in the production process. Thus, GSCM is not only oriented towards economic efficiency, but also supports environmental and social sustainability in an integrated manner. This study recommends the importance of collaboration between farmers, distributors, and the government in strengthening the implementation of green supply chains in the egg agribusiness sector.

Abstract

Traffic congestion at signalized intersections in urban areas has become a critical issue as transportation activities increase due to economic growth and urbanization. The Dam Muka Kuning intersection in Batam City is one of the strategic intersections located within an industrial zone, characterized by high traffic volumes and significant vehicular movement complexity. This study aims to evaluate the performance of the signalized intersection based on capacity parameters and degree of saturation, as well as to formulate signal timing optimization strategies to improve the intersection's level of service. The method employed is a quantitative approach based on the 1997 Indonesian Highway Capacity Manual (IHCM), utilizing traffic volume data obtained from field surveys during peak hours. The analysis encompasses saturated flow, capacity, flow ratio, and degree of saturation for each intersection approach. The findings indicate that the intersection operates under oversaturated conditions, with degree of saturation (DS) values reaching 3.81 at the south approach, 2.55 at the west approach, and 1.88 at the east approach all of which substantially exceed the ideal threshold (DS ≤ 0.85). These conditions signify a significant deterioration in the level of service, marked by extensive queue lengths and high delays. The predominant factors contributing to congestion include high side friction, ingress and egress activities associated with the industrial zone, and signal timing configurations that have yet to adapt to traffic flow fluctuations. To enhance intersection performance, this study proposes a signal timing optimization strategy based on actual traffic conditions through the adjustment of cycle times and green time distribution. Furthermore, side friction management and geometric improvements at the intersection are necessary to support the effectiveness of traffic engineering measures. The findings of this study offer a practical contribution to the management of signalized intersections in urban areas experiencing high levels of saturation.

Abstract

This study employs an integrated geospatial and geophysical framework to assess the mineral prospectivity of the Borgu Area, Niger State, northwestern Nigeria, with particular emphasis on rare-metal pegmatites (lithium, beryl, and tourmaline) and orogenic gold systems. The study area is situated within the Nigerian Basement Complex of the Pan-African Mobile Belt and is predominantly underlain by granitic gneiss. Interpretation of aeromagnetic datasets reveals a well-defined NE–SW structural fabric characterized by faults, fractures, and lithological boundaries, which are interpreted as key controls on fluid migration and mineral emplacement. The Total Magnetic Intensity response is dominated by low-amplitude anomalies, indicative of magnetite-depleted felsic lithologies typically associated with Lithium–Cesium–Tantalum (LCT) pegmatite systems. Source Parameter Imaging further constrains the depth to magnetic sources to approximately 120–180 m, suggesting relatively shallow subsurface conditions favorable for exploration.Radiometric analysis delineates zones enriched in potassium and thorium, reflecting highly evolved granitic systems with potential for rare-metal mineralization. Complementary remote sensing analysis based on Landsat imagery identifies diagnostic hydrothermal alteration signatures, including iron oxide staining, clay mineral development, and silica enrichment. The integration of geophysical, radiometric, and spectral datasets within a GIS-based analytical framework enabled the systematic delineation of ten high-priority exploration targets. The combined results highlight the strong influence of lithological composition, structural architecture, and hydrothermal processes on mineralization within the Borgu basement terrain. These findings underscore the exploration potential of the area and provide a robust basis for subsequent field validation, including detailed geological mapping, geochemical surveys, and targeted ground geophysical investigations.
