Abstract

Abstract—The use of electrical energy in Indonesia is currently very high, but the energy used is still dominated by fossil energy, even though the potentials for alternative energy in Indonesia is very large and cannot be utilized properly, one of which is wind energy. Wind power plant are renewable power plants where the use of renewable energy is expected to be able to replace energy sourced from fossils which are limited in number. This research was conducted using a three-blade spiral horizontal axis wind turbine (TASH) related to the effect of solidity number with the aim of knowing the performance of TASH with a diameter of 1.536 m. The method used is this study is a field test at the Tanjung Pasir beach, Tangerang Regency, Banten. TASH performance is assessed by measured parameters such as voltage value, generator output current and torque value; also, non-dimensional parameters such as power coefficient, torque coefficient, CT, and the value of Tip Speed Ratio, TSR, generated due to TASH rotation at each wind speed from 1 m/s to 6 m/s. Field test results obtained. Experimental actual power = 9.991 watts, torque value = 6.0 Nm (wind speed 5 m/s), Power coefficient, CP = 0.066 and Torque coefficient, CT = 0.674 at 2.0 m/s wind speed, Solidity number = 0.976

Abstract

Polymer materials are being rapidly researched because they have the potential to replace metal materials, offering advantages such as low mass, ease of shaping, and moisture resistance. However, this material still has many disadvantages, including low mechanical strength and easy cracking under impact. Unsaturated polyester is a widely used matrix material for composite materials in the engineering field, such as for vehicle bodies and ship hulls. In this study, the flexural strength of polyester composites reinforced by coconut shell charcoal was studied. From flexural strength testing according to ASTM D 390-92, a tendency to increase flexural strength with the addition of a coconut shell charcoal mixture from 10% to 20% was observed; beyond 20%, the flexural stress decreased. The maximum flexural stress value obtained at a percentage of 20% coconut shell charcoal was 132.43 N/mm². This value can increase the maximum flexural stress of pure polyester, which was only 52.10 N/mm², by 253.35%

Abstract

Composites made from polylactic acid (PLA) and natural fibers offer a sustainable alternative material that is biodegradable and derived from renewable sources. This review journal examines processing techniques, types of material testing, and the enhancement of the capabilities of natural fiber PLA composites to determine their potential applications as a substitute for conventional materials. From existing research journals discussing PLA and Natural Fiber-based composite materials with applications in various sectors, such as automotive, manufacturing and healthcare, it is known that the commonly used processing techniques are hot pressing and vacuum bagging to produce homogeneous fiber distribution and strong matrix-fiber bonds. Material testing is carried out through tensile tests, elastic modulus, and elongation to evaluate the mechanical properties of the composites. The results also show an increase in mechanical ability of 25-35% compared to pure materials, with fiber surface modification that can improve interfacial adhesion. PLA and natural fiber composites provide a sustainable material solution with competitive mechanical performance. Further research is needed to develop environmentally friendly fiber surface modification methods and scalable manufacturing techniques to expand industrial applications.

Abstract

Abstract--Increased production of organic waste from the livestock, agriculture, urban, and agro-industrial sectors poses significant environmental challenges if not managed properly. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is an effective technology for processing organic waste while producing renewable energy in the form of biogas. However, the performance of the AD process is greatly influenced by substrate characteristics, such as the carbon to nitrogen (C/N) ratio, lignocellulose content, nitrogen content, and chemical conditions of the substrate. This article aims to conduct a comparative review of various types of animal and plant-based organic waste used in biogas production through the AD process, with an emphasis on methane potential, operational constraints, and process optimization strategies. The method used is a narrative literature review of national and international journal articles discussing the utilization of livestock manure (cattle, chicken, pigs, and goats), food waste, lignocellulosic biomass (rice straw, water hyacinth, and grass), and agro-industrial liquid waste (tofu liquid waste and Palm Oil Mill Effluent/POME). The results of the study show that cow manure has good process stability but relatively moderate methane yield, while chicken and pig manure have higher methane potential but are susceptible to ammonia inhibition. Plant-based and agro-industrial waste generally has high energy potential, but faces obstacles in the form of slow hydrolysis, acidic pH, and nutrient imbalance. Based on the results of the study, anaerobic co-digestion (ACoD) has been proven to be the most effective strategy for optimizing biogas production. This approach is able to balance the C/N ratio, increase buffer capacity, reduce inhibition effects, and improve microbiological stability. The combination of substrates that produces a mixed C/N ratio in the optimal range of 20–30 has been consistently reported to increase methane yield and AD process stability. Thus, substrate selection and formulation through co-digestion are key to developing an efficient and sustainable biogas system.

Abstract

The significant increase in consumption of electricity from fossil fuels encourages the search for renewable energy sources and wind is one of the renewable energy sources which can be utilized using a horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT). In this case, a drag and lift model with a spiral type was chosen, adjusting to Indonesia's geography with low wind speeds using the wind tunnel testing method. The purpose of this study was to verify the performance of the two nine-blade TASH type spiral models due to the influence of the expansion of the inner diameter of the turbine, namely the normal diameter of 50mm and the expanded diameter of 65mm. The turbine has a rotor length of 120 mm and an outer diameter of 272 mm. Turbine performance is assessed through measured parameters such as actual power value, torque value, rotor speed and power coefficient, torque coefficient, and tip speed ratio (TSR) as non-dimensional parameters. The research was carried out in a series of laboratory tests through a wind tunnel with various wind speeds from 1 m/s to 10 m/s. The test results are then calculated for the Coefficient Power and Coefficient Torque against the Tip Speed Ratio (TSR). From the calculation results produce an effective value with an air gap of 65mm Cp and efficient TSR values at a wind speed of 5 m/s with a rotational speed of 165 rpm with a Ct of 0.31. While the value of Cp and TSR at a wind speed of 5 m/s is 0.072 and 0.23.

Abstract

Epoxy resin is a thermosetting polymer widely used in composite materials due to its high mechanical strength, excellent chemical resistance, and strong adhesion. In composite structures, epoxy acts as a matrix that binds and protects the reinforcing fibers while transferring loads between components. The reinforcing fibers may be synthetic (e.g., fiberglass, carbon) known for their high tensile strength, or natural fibers (e.g., kenaf, ramie), which offer advantages in sustainability and low weight. With the growing demand for lightweight, efficient, and environmentally friendly automotive materials, epoxy-based composites show significant potential for use in body panels, interior parts, and structural vehicle components. However, challenges remain, such as poor interfacial bonding between epoxy and natural fibers, thermal degradation, and relatively high production costs. This study aims to systematically review current research trends, applications, and research gaps in the development of epoxy resin composites for automotive components, particularly those reinforced with natural fibers. The method used is a Scoping Review based on the PRISMA-ScR framework, covering 50 scientific articles published between 2015 and 2025. The results indicate that kenaf, ramie, and jute fibers have strong potential as sustainable reinforcements, although improvements in interfacial compatibility and processing technology are still critical. The study implies the importance of advancing bio-based epoxy resins, hybrid manufacturing techniques, and the utilization of local natural fibers as part of a sustainable automotive strategy
