Abstract

Several studies have proven the efficiency of gasification as a thermal process in terms of material decomposition and chemical energy. Synthetic gas (syngas) is a gasification product that can be used as an energy source. However, it needs to undergo treatment to remove the tar content, which could cause several issues in the combustion system. Tar removal can be conducted through biomass filters. In this study, three types of filters were investigated: biochar, rice straw, and rice husk filters. Three thicknesses of the porous media (30, 40, and 50 cm) were investigated. The results revealed that porous media thickness significantly affects tar removal efficiency, as the efficiency was found to increase with the thickness. Biochar was proven to be the best filter media among the three types, with a tar removal efficiency of 59.45% at a thickness of 50 cm.

Abstract

Ultrasound-guided needle insertion has become standard in medical interventional procedures. Regardless of its advantages, it still has crucial problems related to needle visibility. Some technical factors affect the visibility with non-linear characteristic, i.e. frequency, insertion angle and depth. Here, backscattered signal parameters from measurement were compared to a simulation of a resonance scattering model. Raw radio frequency (RF) data were reconstructed with a new method to represent unique information on total backpropagation from the needle, which consists of non-resonance and resonance scattering components. The result suggests that reconstruction of the needle in B-mode images should be derived from the maximum power spectral density and the energy spectral density to optimize the contrast of the needle. In measurements with the center frequency at 1.87 MHz, the effect of resonance scattering on the total backpropagation around critical angles could be observed more clearly with this method than with standard reconstruction based on the signal envelope. The simulation showed that the fractional bandwidth of the spectrum of the backscattered pressure field centered at 1.87 MHz was relatively optimal at 40% to 100%. So that the simulation of the resonance scattering model can be used to predict the backscattered response from the needle, it must be able to confirm it to the real conditions of RF data with random characteristics. Therefore, extraction of the backscattered pressure field in a simulation with fractional bandwidth should be a concern.

Abstract

Due to the limited amount of space in urban homes, the trend of indoor gardening is growing as it is the most suitable gardening method in the specified environment; moreover, it provides the possibility of growing organic vegetables at home. This paper presents the design and construction of an urban indoor gardening system for growing organic vegetables, with automated functions. LEDs in the spectra of R (637 nm) B (455 nm) and white (3500 K) were applied as horticultural light and were designed using the horticulture lighting calculation tool. The automated irrigation system was controlled by Arduino-based soil moisture sensors. The urban indoor gardener prototype had a cultivation bed of 0.385 m2. The results showed that the LED panel could emit a photosynthetic photon flux density of around 200 ± 7 µmol m-2s-1 with an R to B ratio of 0.7 ± 0.04, and a photoperiod of 16 h per day. The soil moisture control system is automatic and can regulate the soil moisture to the appropriate percentage for agricultural use, which is 50% to 69%. Consequently, it is able to save water and provide an alternative method for efficient water use. The urban indoor gardening system is compact and can be placed in a small indoor corner. The presented system was able to produce organic green-oak lettuce with a weight of 1272.54 g/crop in a restricted area, providing an ease-of-use experience and requiring very little maintenance.

Abstract

In this study, the inelastic cyclic behavior of hybrid connections consisting of reinforced concrete column and steel beams (RCS) was investigated. The experimental results from the lateral load testing of four interior RCS subassembly connections are presented. The first specimen was designed based on the ASCE Guidelines 1994, with connection details based on the study of Liang and Parra-Montesinos (2004), while another specimen was a proposed joint detail. The joint detail was developed to overcome the main problems with RCS frame systems, which is constructability. The behavior of the beam-column joints was evaluated in terms of strength capacity, stiffness degradation, energy dissipation, and joint shear distortion. Comparing all specimens based on the load-displacement hysteresis curves indicated that the specimen with the combination of ABP and EBP had relatively better performance in terms of strength, stiffness, and energy dissipation. ABP and EBF in the joint with a void web were able to withstand joint shear deformation exceeding 0.01 rad, with only low to medium level of damage. EBF was proven to be very effective in providing confinement and reducing the damage level in the joint panel. The existence of a void web did not affect the reduction of joint shear strength.

Abstract

In this research, Dy3+ ion-doped Na2O-PbO-ZnO-Li2O-B2O3 glasses were developed using the melt and quenching method. The addition of Dy3+ ions in the glass improved the optical properties. The XRD graph verified the amorphous of the glass sample. FTIR showed the vibration of BO3 and BO4 in the structure of the glass. The enhancement of NBOs in the structure of the glass affected the reduction of the bandgap energy of the glass. The hypersensitive transition of the present glass was found at 1270 nm (infrared region) due to electron movement from the 6H15/2 level to the 6H9/2+6F11/2 level. The strong white emission of the glasses came from 575 nm (yellow region) and 483 nm (blue region) when excited by 349 nm. The CIE 1931 chromaticity was located at (0.37;0.40) and verified the white emission of the glasses. Meanwhile, the trendline of the JO parameter was W2 > W6 > W4,indicating the high ionic character of the glass structure. The value of the calculated branching ratio and emission cross-section of Dy_1.0 glass was 0.64 and 0.90 x 10-20 cm2, respectively. From the analysis of results, the present glass has high potential for WLED and laser application.

Abstract

In a period when MP contamination of drinking water is a great concern, this study focused on the size- and morphology-based count, and polymeric identification of plastic particles in tap water sourced from Thailand. A total of 45 human consumable samples (each 1 L) were collected at Thammasat University. The average MP counts sorted by Nile Red tagging were 56.0±14.0 p/L (6.5-53 µm) and 21.0±7.0 p/L (53-300 µm), while those found by optical microscopic observations were 13.0±5.0 p/L (300-500 µm) and 6.0±3.0 p/L (≥ 500 µm). A significantly high MP amount was observed in the 6.5-53 µm fraction. Fibers dominated in all samples, accounting for 58% of the particle count. Most ≥ 300 µm particles tested by ATR-FT-IR spectroscopy were confirmed to be polymeric, identified as PE, PVC, PET, PA, PTFE, PP, and PAM. These particles may have escaped from the treatment plant or were added along the water distribution network. Since MPs in drinking water constitute a potential health risk by exposing humans to direct plastics intake, MP contamination in water supply systems should be controlled.

Abstract

In this work, chemical precipitation-ultrafiltration (UF) was applied for waste brine regeneration from a steam flooding plant at Duri Field, Chevron. A mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate solution was used as chemical agent. A polypropylene (PP) UF membrane was used to remove precipitate formed in the chemical precipitation. It was found that the combined process could be used to regenerate waste brine, removing up to 100% (±0.1) of calcium and up to 99.6% (±0.3) of magnesium. High hardness removal was achieved when the chemical dosage was 1.3 to 1.7 mole of chemical/mole of hardness. Rapid permeability decline was observed in the UF membrane due to the high turbidity and TSS values of the chemically treated waste brine. Backwash with an acid solution could recover the UF membrane's permeability effectively. However, pH adjustment is needed due to the high pH value of the UF permeate (up to ~12).

Abstract

A real-time novel algorithm for proportional, integral and derivative (PID) controller tuning for quadcopters is introduced. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) method is utilized to search the quadcopter solution space to find the best PID controller parameters. A fuzzy logic (FL) controller is used to provide proper velocity reference signals to serve as tracking set points to be achieved by the PID controller. This nested loop design is proposed for stabilizing the quadcopter, where the fuzzy logic controller (FL) is used in the stable loop (i.e. outer loop) to control the desired angle, while the PID controller is used for the rate loop (i.e. inner loop). Finally, the optimum generated PID parameters were achieved in real time using the PSO search algorithm. The generated parameters were tested successfully using an experimental quadcopter setup at the University of Jordan.

Abstract

Food waste collected from the Ubaya canteen was characterized for its potential for use as anaerobic feedstock. It was collected for 3 weeks on a daily basis and treated with 2 different pretreatments, i.e. mechanic and mechanic-thermal. The result showed that the physical and chemical properties of the food waste in the 3-week time period of collecting were not significantly different for both pretreatments. The VS/TS ratio was around 96.4% to 97.076% and C/N was in the range of 17.295 to 17.813 for the mechanic and mechanic-thermal treatments. Four semi-batch mesophilic anaerobic digesters were used in this study, with 1.215 gVS/L fed once (R1) and twice daily (R3); 2.43 gVS/L fed once (R2) and twice daily (R4). The maximum methane yield was determined to be 64.61 mL/gVS in R1 after 5 days of incubation and 57.41 mL/gVS in R3 after 4 days of incubation. Systems R2 and R4 showed maximum methane yields of 43.15 mL/gVS and 19.1 mL/gVS respectively.
