Abstract

Indonesia is an agricultural country with a tropical climate. One of the many agricultural products in Indonesia is vegetables. Handling of vegetables after harvesting is important because the decrease in product quality can reach up to 50%. This decrease in quality is the result of metabolic processes such as transpiration and respiration that occur in post-harvest vegetables. The respiration rate of vegetables cannot be stopped but can be slowed down by lowering the temperature, so that the freshness of the vegetables can last longer. One method of maintaining the temperature of vegetables is storage in a cool box with cooling media. Phase change material (PCM) is an alternative cooling medium that utilizes latent heat in thermal energy storage. Paraffin is a PCM that can be used for this application. Paraffin has a freezing and melting temperature range that can be adjusted according to your needs, namely by mixing liquid paraffin and solid paraffin. This study used mixed paraffin with a liquid-solid paraffin ratio of 98:2 mass basis. This mixture has a melting temperature of 6o C until 13 C and is close to the optimal temperature for storing vegetables, which is 5o C. In this study, testing was also carried out using water as a comparison. The test results show that ice can make vegetables last longer in cold conditions, namely that it is able to maintain the vegetable temperature below 20o C for 11 hours, while paraffin only lasts 2 hours. The physical condition of the vegetables that are cooled with ice in the packing changes color and becomes watery because the water in the vegetables is condensed. Meanwhile, on cooling with paraffin it is physically fresher.Keywords: PCM, paraffin, cool box, fresh vegetable storage

Abstract

Coal is still widely used as the main fuel in the industry, especially the power generation industry (PLTU), cement plants and etc. Coal is a fossil fuel whose availability is thinning and its fires produce CO2 emissions that cause a rise in greenhouse gas (GHG) concentricity. On the other biomass is an alternative energy source that is abundant, including empty bunches of oil palm (TKKS), but has poor combustion properties compared to coal when burned directly. The properties of biomass burning can be improved by certain treatment, one of which is through the process of torrefaction. Biomass torrefaction has a calorific value equivalent to sub-bituminous coal B, so it has the potential to be used as an alternative fuel for coal. The purpose of this study was to determine the maximum temperature that occurs in the burner. In this study co-combustion was conducted on simulation of ANSYS program with powder system (pulverized combustion) because this type in recent decades is widely used in industry. In this study conducted a simulation on ANSYS to determine the temperature on the burner and the concentration of emissions produced. The results showed that the simulation of co-combustion burner burner showed the maximum temperature reached 970°C.  The effect of burner and burner temperature in the form of swirl provides sufficient oxygen with more perfect combustion resulting in decreased concentration of CO2 emissions and low concentration of N2 due to higher nozzle temperature. High temperatures lower the concentration of SO2 in the burn chamber.Keyword: Co-combustion, pulverized co-combustion simulation, TKKS torrefaction, burner.
