Abstract

Cascade Citarum Reservoirs, located in the western part of the island of Java in Indonesia country, cover the main building dams, hydropower, irrigation facilities and other supporting facilities. The study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of the existing condition of the downstream reservoir, including the relation of the water quality and quantity, by using a conceptual model of the Citarum Cascade Reservoir management. The study mostly used the secondary data acquired from Indonesia Power, the Management Bureau of Cirata Dam (BPWC), Perum Jasa Tirta II (PJT) Jatiluhur, the Management Bureau of the Citarum-Ciliwung River Basin (BPDAS Citarum-Ciliwung), and the Water Resource Management Agency of the West Java Province. This research aims to predict the discharge plans R5 and R20 using the Weibull method and the uncertainty of future discharge using the continuous model approach. Furthermore, the multivariate statistical test will analyse the linkage of water quality in reservoir management. To solve the problem of the allocation of the raw water discharge to fulfil the water requirement in the downstream area was developed proportionally in this study, in which the raw water discharge allocations were 46.92 m3/sec, 91.9 m3 /sec and  97.95 m3/sec for Saguling, Cirata, and Jatiluhur, respectively. The tests to determine the relationship between the discharge and water quality using the Discriminant test indicated that the discharge correlates strongly with the parameters such as NH3. BOD and COD.

Abstract

The study focused on the effect of forging load and heat treatment on the corrosion behavior of A588-1%Ni weathered steel. The samples used were hot forged steel (A588%-1%Ni) with a load of 50 tons and 75 tons at a temperature of 800-850 °C. The test sample was reheated at an intercritical temperature between A3–A1, around 780 °C, held for 1 hour, and then cooled to room temperature. The cooling media used are water, oil, and open air. Forging loads and heat treatment variation affect the microstructure and corrosion rate of A588-1%Ni. Based on the metallographic test and after the hot forging process, A588-1%Ni laterite steel has a microstructure as ferrite-perlite. Then, after heat treatment as ferrite and cementite-containing phase, pearlite, bainite, or martensite may very well. Cooling water delivers a uniformly distributed lath martensite with an acicular ferrite phase. In addition, the oil media creates bainite with an acicular ferrite phase coarser size. The open-air media produces a pearlite + ferrite phase. Corrosion behavior of laterite steel subjected to hot forging process and followed by heat treatment was evaluated in 3% NaCl solution. Oil cooling with bainite-ferrite microstructure has the lowest corrosion rate, which is 11.96x10-3 mmpy.

Abstract

Soil characteristics around Kendari City are included in the clay soil category. So far, clay has not been used optimally. Clay is only used as a pile material in buildings. The land around the city of Kendari can be made of brick interlock material. This research is important to be carried out to utilize the surrounding land as building wall material to obtain an economical and effective wall material. This study aimed to test the Land Use model's compressive strength and water absorption performance as an interlock block material in Kendari City. In this study, three treatments were made. Each treatment made 10 test specimens. Test specimens are made with a size of 25 cm x 12.5 cm x 10 cm. The research steps are preparing work tools, preparation of work materials, dry stirring process, moist stirring process, printing, drying, watering, testing, and data analysis. Data collection techniques are carried out in the laboratory. Testing includes compressive strength and water absorption. Based on the results of tests in the laboratory, interlocking brick from the ground has low compressive strength and water absorption. Interlock block can be used as a wall under the following conditions: first, the interlock brick material using clay is the same as the clay used by red brick material; second, interlock brick material from the soil is added with sand material.

Abstract

The Al 6070 is the side plate material of the MTR-fuel plate bundle. These post-irradiation mechanical properties will be used in the side plate cutting process to obtain certain plates from the MTR-fuel plate bundle. This activity is part of a series of post-irradiation test processes from the MTR-fuel plate bundle in order to determine its performance. After testing in the form of a bundle (assembly), then continued testing of certain plates from the bundle. Disassembly of the plate is carried out by cutting along the two side plates (aluminum alloy) that clamp the plate. The mechanical properties of the workpiece material are important factors that affect the conditions of the machining (cutting) process. Prediction of post-irradiation mechanical properties was carried out using the change percentage of before and after irradiation of other aluminum alloys. The prediction carried out with the Si transmutation as the dominant one affects the post-irradiation mechanical properties changes in aluminum alloys. The change percentage added the mechanical properties of the pre-irradiated side plate material of the MTR-fuel plate bundle. Pre-irradiation testing of the Al 6070, namely chemical composition tests, pre-irradiation mechanical properties tests, including hardness tests (micro), and tensile tests (max stress, yield stress, and % elongation). Prediction of changes in mechanical properties of side plate material (aluminum alloy, Al 6070) before irradiation, compared to after irradiation is: hardness value from 98.51 to 127 (gf/µm2), tensile strength from 265.371 to 398 (N/mm2), the yield strength from 204.2 to 306 N/mm2.

Abstract

Flexibility in the design process becomes an absolute necessity in a smart factory in the era of industrial manufacturing 4.0. CAD technology with a 3D modeling capability serves as a backbone in the design process in a manufacturing industry. Here, iLogic serving as an add-on of Inventor software will be combined with a Decision Support System (DSS) to build a DSS application system, namely "Panel Auto System". This system will help an engineer modify a 3D model wall-mounting panel to fulfill a non-standard order from his or her customers. This 3D-model database from various parts of the wall-mounting panel is generated from the 3D modeling. Then, by employing the if/then/else rules in the iLogic, the system can modify a 3D model wall-mounting panel data standard and serves as a geometric 3D model based on the customer’s order. The system works well and has been validated. The efficiency of the modeling process using the "Panel Auto System" increases its time efficiency up to 97,6 % compared to a manual process. Therefore, this system can increase the engineer’s productivity in the design of an in-wall mounting panel, and the customers can get the order of their 3D model faster.

Abstract

The optimal performance of solar panels is very important to produce maximum electrical energy. Solar panels can work optimally when equipped with a solar tracker. The solar panel tracker works by following the sun's movement. A Proportional, Integral, Derivative (PID) based control is used to optimize the performance of the solar tracker. An optimal tuning is needed to get the PID parameter. The Firefly method is an intelligent method that can be used to optimize PID parameters. Three Firefly Algorithm (FA) parameters are used in the program: Beta is used to determine firefly speed, Alpha is used for flexibility of movement, and Gamma is used for more complex constraints or problems. This Dual Axis photovoltaic tracking study uses the beta value determination, changing the Bêta value from 0.1 to 0.9. From the results of 10 models, it was found that the PID constant values were varied. On the horizontal Axis, the best results are if the Beta is given at 0.4, and the worst result is if the Beta is given at 0.8. On the vertical Axis, the best results are if the Beta is given at 0.3, and the worst result is if the Beta is given at 0.8.

Abstract

The airline business is one of the businesses determined by the quality of its services. Every airline creates its best service so that customers feel satisfied and loyal to using their services. Therefore, customer satisfaction is an essential metric to measure features and services provided. By having a database on customer satisfaction, the company can utilize the data for machine learning modelling. The model generated can predict customer satisfaction by looking at the existing feature criteria and becoming a decision support system for management. This article compares machine learning between Split Point and Attribute Reduced Classifier (SPAARC), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), and Random Fores (RF) in predicting customer satisfaction. Based on the data testing, the Random Forest algorithm provides better results with the lowest training time compared to SPAARC and MLP. It has an accuracy of 95.827%, an F-score of 0.958, and a training time of 84.53 seconds.

Abstract

Alternative fuels such as vegetable oil, biodiesel, and bio-oil are potential alternatives for diesel engines. Bio-oil is one of the products of the decomposition process of chemical and organic matter by adding heating process without oxygen is called rapid pyrolysis. Bio-oil in the pyrolysis process is made from Brem waste. Brem is a typical food from the district of Madiun, Indonesia. This research is important because the switch from petroleum-sourced fuel to Bio-Oil oil cannot be automatically applied to diesel engines. Spray quality and combustion process, type and quality of fuel, and engine design and condition are some of the important parameters affecting diesel engine performance. Research data is very important because it can determine the intake manifold and the best bio-oil-diesel blends to be used in the operation of diesel engines with bio-oil-diesel blends. The research uses three variations of the intake manifold form. Variations of research with lamp loading of 650, 1300, 1950 and 2600 watts determine specific power and fuel consumption. Use an opacity smoke meter to determine the opacity of diesel engine exhaust gases. The fuel used is pure diesel fuel and Bio-Oil fuel B10, B15, and B20 resulting from the pyrolysis of Brem waste with a fuel volume of 25 ml for each research variable. The results of testing the intake manifold variation and the bio-oil-diesel blended are the intake manifold variation 1  with a fuel mixture variation of 20 % Bio-Oil - 80% pure diesel (B20), which has the best results both electric power, specific fuel consumption and opacity.

Abstract

The unsignaled intersection of Jalan H Djole – Jalan Pasar Lama in Bekasi City is a densely populated commercial area with high economic activity. The lack of facilities and infrastructure that causes traffic jams at the intersection also raises the potential for conflict. This study aims to analyze the level of service, the type of conflict, and the traffic conflict complexity at an unsignaled intersection. The field survey method obtains primary data on the conflict approach and traffic volume. The analysis showed that the highest traffic volume was 3,810 passenger cars unit/hour with a DS value of 1.06 and LOS F. The number of conflicts that occurred during one hour of observation at peak hours was 420. Most of the conflicts that arose were straight-right, turned movements of 138.
