Abstract

Along with the times, the availability of fossil energy is decreasing, especially natural gas and coal, before using fossil energy, humans have used biomass as an energy source. Indonesia has many plantation commodities, one of which is coffee which is the fourth largest coffee producer in the world. Coffee grounds are the main waste produced by coffee shops and are usually only thrown away. The main ingredients in this study were arabica coffee grounds and robusta. By using robusta composition 60% arabica 40%, robusta 50% arabica 50% robusta 40% arabica 60%. In addition, briquettes are tested for hardness by making points on the surface of the briquettes using a durometer shore A tool of 30 points, then a calorimeter bomb test is carried out to obtain the calorific value content. The result obtained from the highest hardness value is briquettes with a robusta mixture of 50% arabica 50% with a value of 23.7 HA, while the highest calorific value is found in a robusta mixture of 60% arabica 40% with a value of 4526.85 cal / gram.

Abstract

The selection of coffee wood in this study is based on the fact that coffee wood is waste and has not been utilized optimally and the availability of coffee wood is large and easy to obtain in the East Java region. Coffee wood is a type of wood that is not in demand by many people because this wood is relatively small and not straight. To reduce waste, researchers made briquettes made from coffee wood using mesh 30 and 250 with variations in drying temperatures (60 °C, 80 ° C and 100 ° C). After that was carried out Calorimeter Bomb Testing, and hardness. The highest calorific value resulting from temperature variations of 60°C, 80°C, and 100°C mesh 30 and 250 drying coffee wood briquettes is mesh 30 temperature 100°C of 6972.23 cal/g, and mesh 250 temperature 100°C of 6763.19 cal/g. The effect of the ratio of temperature variations (60°C, 80°C and 100°C) mesh 30 and 250 Drying coffee wood briquettes is: Grain and adhesive size. The smaller the grain size on the briquettes, namely mesh 250, it produces a high hardness value of 60 °C of 26.6 HA, a temperature of 80 °C of 27.7 HA, and a temperature of 100 ° C of 27.4 HA, the larger the grain size in the briquette, namely mesh 30, the low hardness value of 60 ° C of 25.6 HA, temperature of 80 ° C of 26.4 HA, and a temperature of 100°C of 26.2 HA. The effect of the adhesive is that when drying the oven for 3 hours with temperature variations (60 ° C, 80 ° C and 100 ° C) makes the adhesive react so that the adhesive evaporates and coagulates which causes the hardness value to rise and fall.

Abstract

Candlenut shell is an organic waste that has a hard texture and has a high carbon element. The amount of candlenut shell produced from each processing of candlenut seeds is very large but has not been optimally utilized. For this reason, an effort is needed to utilize candlenut shells so that they do not become waste. In the manufacture of hazelnut shell briquettes, hazelnut shells are carbonized at 500 °, sifted with mesh 30 and 100 sieves, given a compressive load of 3 kg, 4 kg, 5 kg and 5.5 kg, the adhesive on hazelnut shell briquettes is starch and drying is carried out with a drying oven for 3 hours at a temperature of 80 °. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of variations in pressure and particle size on the quality of hazelnut shell briquettes when viewed from the combustion rate and calorific value. The methodology used in this research is experimentation on hazelnut shell briquettes, testing hazelnut shell briquettes including testing water content, testing ash content, burning rate and calorific value of briquettes. From the results of the research on hazelnut shell briquettes with variations in pressure and mesh, the highest calorific value in hazelnut shell raw material briquettes is in the 5.5 Kg pressure specimen on mesh 30, namely 9855.18 Cal/gram and the bomb calorimeter test results are 7008.03 Cal/gram with an error rate of 24.40%, the higher the pressure will produce a higher calorific value as well. The highest combustion rate value is in hazelnut shell briquettes at a pressure specimen of 3 Kg mesh 100 with a value of 1.2 grams/minute the smaller the particle size, the higher or faster the combustion rate.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries that has great potential in the field of animal husbandry, currently farmers in Indonesia still use traditional methods to produce animal feed such as human-powered grass chopping which often faces obstacles in the form of limited labor, low time efficiency, and high operational costs. therefore, new technology is needed that can help farmers overcome these problems. The planning of a livestock grass chopping machine is driven by the need for increased efficiency and productivity in the livestock sector. This grass chopping machine is expected to be able to chop grass efficiently and effectively, produce quality animal feed and reduce the time and workload of farmers. there are several main parts in making a grass chopping machine, namely the frame, the engine drive motor dynamo, the cutting blade, the pulley, the V-belt and the casing. on this machine, 5 grasses are needed for one chopping which requires 1424.13 watts or 1.423 Kw of engine power, with a shaft diameter of 15.82 mm, a pulley diameter for the chopping shaft of 200 mm and a v-belt length of 54.396 in. The casing material used in this planning is aluminum alloy. While the cutting blade material is stainless steel.

Abstract

Through this research there are two variables observed, namely the effect of variations in briquette charcoal pressure and specific heat value on the composition of carbonisation of hazelnut shell charcoal with tapioca adhesive on specific heat value. The initial process of research in the form of making charcoal on hazelnut shell briquettes, hazelnut shells are carbonised at 500 °, sieved with mesh 30 and 100 sieves, given a compressive load of 3 kg, 4 kg, 5 kg and 5.5 kg, the adhesive on hazelnut shell briquettes is starch and drying is carried out with a drying oven for 3 hours at a temperature of 80 °. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of variations in pressure and particle size on the quality of hazelnut shell briquettes when viewed from the combustion rate and calorific value. The methodology used in the research is by using hazelnut shell briquette experiments, hazelnut shell briquette testing includes testing through hardness and briquette calorimeter bomb value. Through the research, it was found that the highest calorific value was in the 4 kg pressure specimen on mesh 30, namely 9221.09 cal/gram while the lowest combustion rate was produced by the hazelnut shell briquette specimen with a pressure of 5 kg and 5.5 kg, which was 4076.17 g/min. Giving different compressive loads and mesh sieves can provide advantages to briquettes including increasing specific calorific value, reducing water content and slowing the combustion rate
