Abstract

The DC motor serves as the main drive of the vessel and is equipped with a rotary encoder that functions to regulate the movement of the sensor in measuring sediment levels. This rotary encoder is also used to monitor and represent the rotational speed of the DC motor. System testing was carried out by implementing a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) algorithm to control the DC motor speed in moving the vessel, ensuring stable motion. This fuzzy logic–based approach is expected to improve accuracy and efficiency in sediment volume calculations, while also reducing potential errors that commonly occur in manual methods. Simulating motor speed control using the fuzzy logic algorithm in MATLAB, the best test results were achieved over several trials, with a rise time of 376.310 ms and an overshoot of 83.33%. Motor speed measurements using both a tachometer and Arduino produced consistent results, with an average relative error of 0.18%.

The experimental setup measured evaporation rates, energy consumption, and temperature profiles under varying solar radiation conditions (400–800 W/m²). Results revealed that the system with nanofluids demonstrated up to a 35% increase in evaporation rates compared to the baseline system without nanofluids, indicating enhanced heat transfer properties. Moreover, energy consumption was reduced by up to 20%, highlighting the improved energy efficiency of the system with nanofluids. The system with nanofluids exhibited higher temperatures in the evaporator, confirming more effective thermal utilization. Statistical analyses, including t-tests and regression analysis, confirmed the significant impact of nanofluids on both evaporation rates and energy consumption. This study demonstrates that graphene-based nanofluids offer a sustainable and energy-efficient solution for solar-powered desalination, particularly in areas with abundant solar radiation.

Abstract

Urban drainage systems face mounting pressure due to the combined impacts of rapid urbanization and climate change. The expansion of impervious surfaces and altered precipitation patterns contribute to increased stormwater runoff, exacerbating flood risks and water quality issues in cities. Traditional drainage systems, focused primarily on controlling water volume, are insufficient to address the growing complexity of urban drainage challenges. This study proposes Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) that integrate flood management, water quality improvement, and climate resilience. By incorporating nature-based solutions such as permeable pavements, green roofs, and rain gardens, these systems aim to reduce runoff, enhance groundwater recharge, and mitigate the negative effects of urbanization. Through a Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) framework, this research evaluates various drainage solutions based on technical, socio-economic, and environmental criteria. The findings indicate that SUDS outperforms traditional systems in flood mitigation, water quality control, and climate resilience, highlighting their importance in adapting to changing climatic conditions. This paper emphasizes the need for sustainable drainage solutions to ensure long-term urban resilience and improve the overall quality of urban environments.

Abstract

The global clean water crisis is exacerbated by significant losses in water distribution networks (WDNs), resulting in inefficient use of both water and energy resources. Traditional methods of leak detection and pressure management often fail to address these inefficiencies, leading to substantial water wastage and high operational costs. This research aims to design a sustainable, smart water distribution system using advanced technologies such as Machine Learning (ML) for leak detection and automated pressure control. The system employs real-time monitoring through IoT sensors, which continuously gather data on water pressure, flow rates, and other critical parameters. This data is analyzed using various ML algorithms, including supervised and unsupervised learning models, to detect anomalies indicative of leaks. Additionally, the system integrates automated pressure control mechanisms that dynamically adjust pressure to prevent over-pressurization, reducing both water loss and energy consumption. By combining leak detection and pressure control, the proposed system offers a more efficient, sustainable solution to water resource management compared to traditional methods. The expected outcomes include a significant reduction in water loss, enhanced energy efficiency, and improved water service quality. However, the implementation of such a system in rural or small-town infrastructure faces challenges, including sensor maintenance, algorithm reliability, and regulatory issues. A cost-benefit analysis suggests that while the initial investment in smart technologies may be high, the long-term savings in water and energy costs outweigh these costs. This study underscores the potential of ML-based systems in enhancing water conservation, operational efficiency, and sustainability in water management.

Abstract

Rapid urbanization in major cities has led to the decreasing availability of green spaces, exacerbating urban challenges such as the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, high energy consumption in buildings, and air pollution. In response, green architecture innovations like green roofs and vertical farming present opportunities for reducing carbon footprints and improving urban sustainability. This study explores the potential for life-cycle carbon footprint reduction through the integration of green roofs and vertical farming systems in high-rise buildings, focusing on energy savings, environmental impact, and air quality improvements. Using Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, the research evaluates carbon emissions reduction, operational energy savings, and ecosystem benefits from different building scenarios. Simulation models were developed for conventional high-rise buildings and those incorporating green roofs and vertical farming. EnergyPlus, SketchUp, and SimaPro software were used for energy consumption calculations and carbon emissions modeling. The study analyzes various intervention scenarios-baseline (no vegetation), green roof only, vertical farming only, and a combined system-based on tropical climate data from cities like Jakarta, Surabaya, and Kuala Lumpur. Results reveal that the integration of both green technologies significantly reduces cooling demand, lowers CO₂ emissions, and improves urban microclimates by reducing surface temperatures and enhancing air quality. Policy recommendations and guidelines for adopting green construction practices in tropical regions are provided, alongside suggestions for future research on optimizing these technologies, conducting economic modeling, and evaluating multi-building approaches at a district scale.
