Abstract

To improve the geotechnical stress"“strain analysis, the stress"“strain behavior of geomaterial under general three-dimensional stress conditions prevailing in the field need to be captured. The true triaxial apparatus is an enhanced version of the conventional triaxial apparatus, which allows to simulate stresses by applying loadings independently in 3 orthogonal directions. This study evaluated the strength and deformation behavior of Bangka sand under true triaxial test conditions. The test specimens were prepared by means of the multi-sieve sand pluviation method. Various true triaxial test stress paths were applied under axial compression, lateral extension, axial extension, and lateral compression with the objective of understanding and developing the empirical correlation of coarse-grained soil strength parameters in axial compression stress paths related to other stress paths. The test results showed that an increase in the value of b, the parameter used to quantify the relative magnitude of the intermediate principal stress to the other principal stresses, resulted in an increase of the internal friction angle and a decrease of the peak stress ratio. In addition it was observed that the Lade-Duncan failure criterion fitted the results of this study better than other failure criteria, namely the extended von Mises, Mohr-Coulomb, and Matsuoka-Nakai failure criteria.

Abstract

Sorbitol (C6H14O6) is a sugar alcohol that can be synthesized from cellulose and has a similar skeletal structure as hexane (C6H14) so that it can straightforwardly be converted to hexane through deoxygenation. The bio-hydrocarbon synthesis from sorbitol in this investigation consisted of two main processes, namely synthesis of 2-iodohexane and deiodization of 2-iodohexane. The synthesis of 2-iodohexane from sorbitol and hydroiodic acid (HI) was conducted in a reflux system, to which formic acid as reducing agent was added gradually during the reaction to regenerate the iodine back to HI. The HI/sorbitol ratio (2:1 and 5:1), reaction temperature (90 °C, 105 °C, and 120 °C), and reaction time (between 2 and 6 hours) were varied throughout the experiment. Deiodization of 2-iodohexane was conducted via gas phase pyrolysis at various temperatures (265 °C to 285 °C) and reaction times (30 and 45 minutes). The sorbitol was effectively converted to a mixture of 2-iodohexane, hexane and other bio-hydrocarbons, with a 2-iodohexane yield of 23.15%. In the optimal reaction condition, pyrolysis of 2-iodohexane resulted in bio-hydrocarbon with a yield of 77.52%. The resulted hydrocarbon products were mixtures consisting of alkanes and alkenes.

Abstract

This research studied the effect of electrode deposition method on the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Four deposition methods (bar coating, doctor blade coating, screen printing, and spray coating) were compared. For commercial production purposes, applicability of the methods to a scaled-up DSSC was studied. In order to minimize the production cost, commercial activated carbon was utilized as counter electrode. The experimental results showed that the doctor blade technique provided the best DSSC performance among the investigated methods. Based on the study of cell I-V characteristics, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the DSSC with an electrode active area of 70 cm2 was significantly lower than with 5 cm2 despite using the same deposition method. The electrochemical characteristics of the cells were further studied using electrochemical impedance analysis.

Abstract

Global optimization inversion of grounded wire time-domain electromagnetic (TDEM) data was implemented through application of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. This probabilistic approach is an alternative to the widely used deterministic local-optimization approach. In the PSO algorithm, each particle that constitutes the swarm epitomizes a probable geophysical model comprised by subsurface resistivity values at several layers and layer thicknesses. The forward formulation of the TDEM problem for calculating the vertical component of the induced magnetic field is first expressed in the Laplace domain. Transformation of the magnetic field from the Laplace domain into the time domain is performed by applying the Gaver-Stehfest numerical method. The implementation of PSO inversion to the TDEM problem is straightforward. It only requires adjustment of a few inversion parameters such as inertia, acceleration coefficients and numbers of iteration and particles. The PSO inversion scheme was tested on synthetic noise-free data and noisy synthetic data as well as to field data recorded in a volcanic-geothermal area. The results suggest that the PSO inversion scheme can effectively solve the TDEM 1D stratified earth problem.

Abstract

A precious metal such as gold can be obtained from mining. Metals in low concentrations at geothermal sites or in industrial waste are difficult to gain using the conventional mining process. Alternative approaches for recovering metals from dilute solutions have been developed, such as biosorption, i.e. adsorption using microorganisms or their derivatives. In this study, gold in an aqueous system was recovered via biosorption using proteins produced from an isolated thermophilic bacterial strain. Modified Thermus enhanced medium was used as the medium to improve protein production from the thermophilic bacterial strain. The microbial proteins showed effective conditions for Au3+ ion adsorption. The optimum adsorption conditions for Au ions occurred at pH 1 with an adsorption capacity of 482.0 mg/g protein. The metal ion adsorption capacity increased with increasing temperature. The adsorption isotherm was conducted at room temperature, because the Au ions could be well fitted by the Freundlich isotherm equation with qmax at 527.229 mg/g protein.

Abstract

Significant wave height, , is one of the most utilized ocean parameters. Extreme  with 1-yearly and 100-yearly return periods are required for the design of most offshore structures. A previous study by Wurjanto, et al. (2020) attempted to utilize the SEAFINE database to develop extreme  maps of Indonesian seas. However, SEAFINE does not cover the eastern Indonesian seas. This study analyzed the extreme values from ERA5 data for Indonesian seas and utilized the data to complete the extreme  map previously developed by Wurjanto, et al. (2020). The ERA5  data on the eastern Indonesian seas as well as the central and western seas were extracted for validation purposes. The ERA5 extreme value was less than half the  value compared to the SEAFINE-based results in most intersecting areas. For the development of the map, we took the SEAFINE-based map from Wurjanto et al., which covers the western and middle Indonesian seas, and filled the eastern part with extreme ERA5  data. It was found that a wave height multiplying factor of 2.0 was the most suitable for ERA5 in the developed map to make a seamless wave height transition from SEAFINE to ERA5 data.

Abstract

The Vertical Axis Hydrokinetic Turbine – Straight Blade Cascaded (VAHT-SBC) is a type of energy generation technology developed to meet the increasing demand for renewable energy. Previous studies have been carried out to enhance the efficiency of the turbine through several aspects. To deploy a turbine on site, a study on its power generation and conversion is needed. In this research, the VAHT–SBC was integrated with a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) by a pulley and belt transmission system. This study was conducted by experimental and numerical analysis. The CFD simulation result showed that the highest torque of the turbine was found at 0° and 360°, with an average value of 23.923 Nm and with current velocity at 0.92 m/s. The experimental data showed that the voltage and frequency were proportional to the generator rotational speed and inversely correlated with the load given to the integration system. In the inverter, the voltage and frequency values were stable at 230 V and 56 Hz respectively. The VAHT-SBC prototype was able to produce a maximum power of 50 W on site, with a current velocity of 0.82 and 0.92 m/s.

Abstract

Solid waste accumulation in coastal environments has been a growing concern. In the coastal megacity of Recife, Pernambuco state, Brazil, plastic waste issues currently exist both at the ocean scale and river basin scale. The city is known as the 'Brazilian Venice' thanks to the Capibaribe River, which crosses many neighborhoods, running in a west-east direction into the Atlantic Ocean. This paper provides the initial basis to develop a Plastic Waste Management Program proposal for implementation in the city of Recife, given the lack of resolutions that have looked at plastic waste management through integrated water environment scales (from river basin to ocean). The methodology used included articulation and documental collection from four main public agencies from the state/city and stakeholders. The results showed its relevance for better plastic waste management in Recife, considering an integrated water environment on a river basin-to-ocean scale by using the recognized major connected water environments (Capibaribe river and Boa Viagem beach). Similar integrated program proposals could be made for other coastal areas, enabling not only the identification of fragilities but also the exchange of information regarding the theme.

Abstract

Mataram is the capital of West Nusa Tenggara. West Nusa Tenggara is made up of two islands, Lombok and Sumbawa. The 2018 earthquake on Lombok undoubtedly affected spectral acceleration. This is an important factor to be addressed in structural design. Short-period spectral acceleration, SS,increases 18.323% compared to the value listed in seismic code SNI 1976:2012, corresponding to a 2500-year return period. However, even if the SS value increases, the design category of the building does not change and remains in the D category. In general, the acceleration value in this study was found to be relatively greater than that of the existing code for periods of less than 0.462 s for site class D and in periods of less than 0.830 s in site class E. In addition, the seismic response coefficient, CS, for medium soil increases by 10.782% compared to the CS calculated using of the current code. This effect is more severe in soft soil areas, where the increase reaches 13.168%. Improving existing codes with seismic design parameters for new buildings affected by the ground motion of recent strong earthquakes will lead to more preparedness and will be an important part of local disaster risk reduction.

Abstract

Biodiesel can act as carbon source for bacterial metabolisms, leading to corrosion of carbon steel. In this study, the corrosion of carbon steel by biodiesel blends (B15, B20, B30) was observed in the presence of Bacillus megaterium. The effect of biodiesel concentration on microorganism-induced corrosion was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscope (EIS), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and digital microscope. The results showed that under various biodiesel concentrations, Bacillus megaterium can grow and form biofilm on carbon steel. Based on the impedance analysis, their presence can increase the corrosion rate and cause pitting corrosion because the biofilm can change the electrochemical reactions in the metal or the interface solution and the kinetics of the anodic cathodic reactions. Also, Bacillus megaterium produces acid metabolites and can oxidize iron. Besides being influenced by Bacillus megaterium activities, the pitting formed on carbon steel depends on the biodiesel concentration. The results showed a great deal of shallow pit formation in B30, exacerbating the severity of metal roughness.
