Abstract

Cassava is an important crop for tropical countries such as Nigeria, Brazil, Thailand, and Indonesia. The potential utilization of cassava in the food industry can be enhanced by processing cassava into fermented cassava flour (fercaf), which has been shown to have a neutral color and aroma as well as low cyanogenic content. The use of specific microbial starter in the cassava chip fermentation for fercaf production will direct the fermentation process, maintaining a high quality of the produced flour. Thereby, the availability of an easy-to-use microbial starter is important for the production of fermented cassava flour. The aim of this study was to evaluate vacuum drying methods in the preparation of microbial starter for fermented cassava flour production. In particular, the effects of carrier media, drying and storage temperature on cell viability in dry starter were tested. The results showed that different methods should be applied to different microbial species. Bacillus subtilis and Aspergillus Oryza should be prepared using fercaf as the carrier media at a drying temperature of 55 °C, whereas Lactobacillus plantarum starter should be prepared using skim milk as the carrier media at a drying temperatur of 40°C. Apart from B. subtilis, the starters should be stored in a refrigerator.

Abstract

This paper presents the results of a numerical study of soil-structure interaction in a piled-raft foundation system in clay soil by reviewing the deformation and load transfer mechanism of the piled-raft foundation system. ABAQUS was used to evaluate the interaction in the system, while a Mohr-Coulomb constitutive model was chosen to model the clay soil. Verification of the model was conducted by comparing the simulation result to an experimental laboratory result. The verification result showed that the model used in this research agreed well with the experimental laboratory research. Subsequently, a parametric study was performed by varying the pile spacing, raft size, pile length, and raft thickness. A parametric study was conducted on very stiff and hard clays. This study concludes that the load transfer mechanism in a piled-raft foundation system between the pile and raft foundation occurs after the pile reaches its ultimate capacity and is in the plastic zone.

Abstract

Rice husk is a potential alternative source of silica and silicon. The mechanism of heating (pyrolysis) for the decomposition of rice husk is an important factor in obtaining silica of high purity. Medium-scale pyrolysis to produce silica from rice husk serves as a bridge to connect laboratory-scale production to industrial-scale production. The purpose of this study was to model and scale up the pyrolysis process as a guidance for industrial-scale production. The research method used was experimentally based. An experimental investigation was undertaken in five stages. 1) Analyzing rice husk mass conversion using thermogravimetry analysis (TGA); 2) pyrolysis modeling based on a laboratory investigation using COMSOL Multiphysics version 5.3; 3) medium-scale experiments according to the modeling results; 4) validation of the modeling results by carrying out a medium-scale experiment; 5) silica purity analysis using SEM-EDX. The medium-scale pyrolysis simulation of silica manufacture from rice husk obtained a heating rate of 1.5 °C/min. There was an increase in the heating rate of 1 °C/min when compared to the laboratory-scale process. The pyrolysis of rice husk for the production of silica affects the mass conversion and selectivity of the resulting silica product. The mass conversion produced was 13.33% to 17.87% and the purity of silica produced was 63.99% to 82.74%.

Abstract

The present paper describes the WIKI RoadSMap project implemented within a start-up research program. The main objective of the project is to create a system that applies innovative technologies to information gathered to enable the acquisition of greater local knowledge and analysis of issues related to road infrastructure and directly and indirectly connected elements. By applying semantic analysis technology for the extraction, collection, integration and publication of data, WIKI RoadSMap allows users to acquire greater knowledge in order to optimize choices related to road infrastructure. The system allows more detailed and targeted dissemination of data related to the design, management and maintenance of an infrastructure. The source and type of data needed are different and heterogeneous, including information 'posted' by people with private and/or commercial purposes, or available at road agencies and/or public administrations or related to specific surveys carried out. The system platform should be available on the Web and on smartphones, both providing different levels of access and subscriptions. The spread and use of WIKI RoadSMap could have a positive impact on the market with regard to the supply of materials and specialized technical skills and companies operating in the areas of interest.

Abstract

Patchouli is an essential oil used in perfumes, cosmetics, soaps, insect repellents and also a candidate for biodiesel from non-edible oil. Patchouli oil from Aceh Province, Indonesia, is generally produced using a distillation process. The relationships between physical properties, i.e. the viscosity and quality, of patchouli oil from Aceh Province and blends with other oils, were investigated. The mixture oils used were palm oil, kerosene and lubricant oil SAE 40. The mixture compositions were 100:0; 75:25; 50:50; 25:75 and 0:100 (v/v). It was found that mixing palm crude oil (25%) or lubricant oil (25%) with patchouli oil increased the viscosity by about 41% and 72%, respectively, compared with pure patchouli oil. A 53% decrease in viscosity was observed when the patchouli oil blend contained 25% kerosene. Natural variation in patchouli alcohol (PA) and iron (Fe) content in the patchouli oil sample was found to increase the value of viscosity by up to 1.5%.

Abstract

The development of HCCI combustion technology has been drawing a great deal of attention from researchers. This survey explains ongoing research methodologies and results. HCCI combustion, other than conventional combustion, is purely based on chemical kinetics. At present the automobile sector faces the problem of emissions and needs to develop clean technologies. However, HCCI operation still has issues such as ignition control, combustion phasing control, operating range control, cold start, and UHC (unburned hydrocarbon) and CO (carbon monoxide) emissions. The challenge is to overcome these problems without compromising other engine parameters and performance. For HCCI, the mixture preparation is especially important, while the compression ratio, IVC (inlet valve closure) timing, inlet pressure, inlet temperature and EGR play a very prominent role in controlling it. This paper will go through a detailed discussion of all the above conditions.

Abstract

The use of reinforced concrete coupling beams in high-rise buildings is popular, especially in seismic prone areas. The modeling of a reinforced concrete coupling beam in a commercial structural analysis software is usually simplified to a line element or a compound of concrete and steel rebar as fiber element. Hence, the analysis of the simplified model cannot capture the overall hysteretic behavior of the element. Moreover, the simplified model is also limited in its capacity to estimate the shear strength contributed by the concrete and diagonal bars, if any, respectively. This study used an advanced finite element analysis package to simulate the cyclic behavior of four coupling beam specimens available in the database. The results show that the hysteretic loop predicted by the finite element analysis tends to overestimate the maximum lateral load capacity. On the other hand, analytical evaluation of the shear strength contributed by concrete and diagonal bars showed good agreement with the test results.

Abstract

Indonesia has often suffered major earthquake damage over the past 50 years. There are thousands of buildings in earthquake-prone regions that still need seismic evaluation and rehabilitation. One method of evaluating the seismic performance of an existing building is by assessing it using the Japanese seismic index for structures. A basic seismic index can be calculated based on the strength and ductility criteria. The strength and ductility performance of a structure can be obtained by pushing a building until it reaches its maximum deformation capacity. This paper describes a proposal to obtain a basic seismic index using pushover analysis. Its adjustment to determine a seismic demand index by considering seismic hazard in Indonesia was carried out using the capacity spectrum method. Two existing buildings in Indonesia were evaluated. The evaluation result indicated that both buildings were in safe condition. The proposal of the seismic index method can be useful in determining the performance index of existing structures. The ductility index can also be used to estimate the response modification factor of a structure.

Abstract

An assessment of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) in a bubbled airlift continuous reactor (BACR) was done to determine the AGS growth kinetics in the continuous reactor and the impact of varied hydraulic retention time (HRT) against the AGS structure. Sodium acetate was used as the sole carbon source with a 100:20 ratio of COD/N synthetic water. The system was operated at five variations of HRT, i.e. 12, 10, 8, 6, and 4 hours, with organic loading rate (OLR) ranging from 1.6 to 4.8 g COD/day in the BACR. Organic removal decreased from 73% to 52%, along with the increment of OLR, while HRT decreased from 12 hours to 4 hours. The kinetics of organic removal in the BACR were examined to get a better understanding of organic removal trends by AGS in a BACR. The models used for biomass growth analysis were the Monod, Contois, Grau second-order, and Stover-Kincannon kinetic models. This study showed that the best suited models for organic removal in BACR were the Grau second-order kinetic model with an a value of 0.1382 and a b value of 1.0776, and the Stover-Kincannon kinetic model with an Rmax of 5.8 g COD/L.day and a KB of 6.24 g COD/L.day.

Abstract

During the braking process, the brake disc is subjected to the moving load. The process-point of the moving load moves along a certain trajectory, which makes it difficult to design the brake disc structure by using a traditional topology optimization method. The novel Equivalent Moving Load (EML) method proposed in this paper aims to solve this problem. According to the principle of continuous photographing technology, a mathematical model was established by using the round inward polygonal approximation algorithm. The EML method equalizes the continuous dynamic load action to many finite working conditions by geometric approximation. These working conditions are placed along the trajectory. The structure of the brake disc is then optimized by the EML method. Additionally, the influence of the layout style of the brake pads and the total number of working conditions on the optimization result are discussed in this paper. The optimization results showed that the new structure is a three-annulus structure. The weight of the new structure is reduced by 57.95% compared to the initial structure by structural topology optimization using the EML method. It was proved that structural topology optimization using the EML method is efficient in optimizing a structure subjected to dynamic load.
