Abstract

Nowadays, the use of solar energy is incredibly important to be increased since solar energy is renewable energy and also does not cause pollution. To harness solar energy, a solar collector device is needed to convert solar energy into heat energy. This study aimed to analyze the heat transfer in the flat plate solar collector which is used as a source of thermal energy in the water heating process for bathing. A double-glazed solar collector was used to absorb solar thermal energy and then transferred it to a water pipe. The pipe material used copper which has a very high conductivity value with an outer diameter of 15.7 mm. The plate collector used aluminium plates because they have high thermal conductivity. The dimensions of the collector frame were 150 cm long, 80 cm wide and 80 cm high. The collector frame was made of wood and covered with an insulator from coconut fibre with a thickness of 8 cm, with a tilt angle of 15˚. Based on the experimental process, the collector temperature was taken by using a thermocouple in order to heat the water which the inlet temperature in a bucket was 28˚C and the outlet water temperature during the experiment was 40˚C.

Abstract

The application of tray dryer is widely used for various commodity dryers due to its simple construction. However, one of the drawbacks of tray dryer is the uneven airflow distribution in the drying chamber which results in the drying rate in the tray position being unequal. As a result, the degree of dryness of the product also varies. This study investigated the effect of fan blade angle on airflow distribution in the dryer cabin through numerical simulations. The axial fan diameter was 350 mm with a thickness of 20 mm. The variations of axial fan blades used were 10o, 20o, 30o and 45o. The number of blades used was 4, and the allowable airflow limit was 2 m x 1 m x 1 m, with an axial fan rotation of 500rpm. Based on the simulation results, the 45o fan angle had good air distribution results compared to the 10o, 20o, and 30o fan angles. Likewise, the distribution of air produced by the fan was evenly distributed, because the greater the angle of the fan used for the dryer, the better the results would be obtained.

Abstract

Waste cooking oil has high Free Fatty Acid (FFA). It affected on decreasing a biodiesel production. FFA reduction is one of important processes in biodiesel production from waste cooking oil. Thus, this study aimed to examine the optimum condition in FFA reduction. The process is assisted by using ultrasonic irradiation on acid esterification. Variables of the process are acid concentration, molar ratio of methanol and oil, and irradiation time. Meanwhile temperature irradiation on 45oC is a control variable. Process optimization is conducted by Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with Central Composite Design (CCD). The optimum conditions of response were 7.22:1 (methanol to oil molar ratio), 0.92% wt H2SO4, 26.04 minutes (irradiation time), and 45oC (irradiation temperature). Ultrasonic system reduced FFA significantly compared to conventional method.

Abstract

The development of engineering materials has increased its use in various fields. The engineering material is particleboard made from areca fiber which is processed with technology. Areca fiber as waste has the potential to be used as an engineering material. The purpose of this study was to obtain the characteristics of the particleboard following the quality standards of JIS A 5908-2003 and SNI 03-2105-2006. The process of making particleboard by mixing particles of areca fiber and adhesive then compacting it. The adhesives used are tapioca and gambier. The concentration of areca fiber particles is 90%, 80%, 70%, and 60%. From this research, it was found that the characteristics of the particleboard using tapioca adhesive according to the quality standard and the gambier adhesive particle board did not meet the standard quality. This particleboard can be used as a raw material for making interior furniture instead of wood.

Abstract

Energy consumption of a building is one of the biggest sources of energy use today. Green Building Comitte Indonesia (GBCI) has launched a concept of energy consumption saving in a nationally standard building. Audit Building energy audit is the way to know how actual building energy consumption is and find alternative solution to decrease energy consumption in order to fulfill the energy saving building criteria. Two types of HVAC systems will be run in the EnergyPlus simulation, split AC and central AC. The previous research proved that central AC is better than split AC system for energy saving in the building with 20 floors. The simulation results show that by using a certain energy system, a more efficient energy system will be achieved and can still maintain the comfort of the room at a temperature of 24 °C and relative humidity according to the Green Building Indonesia standard reference.

Abstract

A viscometer is a tool used to determine the strength of a fluid to shear or tensile stress. Meanwhile, engine oils are used to reduce friction and wear during operation and often deteriorate by the dynamic process with the combined effects of working conditions, contaminations and wear conditions. Therefore, the precise characterization of viscosity is important in the analysis of numerous engineering situations that consume engine oils that associate the functionality or performance of vehicles and machinery. This work aims to investigate the Complimentary Split Ring Resonator (CSRR) as a viscometer for engine oils. The antenna using radiation path such as CSRR is commonly used to measure the dielectric property of substances. Hence, this approach is applied to identify the dielectric properties of engine oils and establish the correlation between viscosity and dielectric properties. Eight engine oils from Shell were tested based on their margins in the terms of kinematic viscosity. Each oil was tested and repeated three times before the mean values were determined along with the frequency of 1-9GHz. The findings show no convincing and solid correlation between the two variables due to the small dielectric constant variation of engine oil with different viscosity. However, future works using current resonator will be applied in other applications associated with different material properties to build a predictive model. In addition, future work can consider sweeping in low frequency that might show positive results.

Abstract

The surface roughness quality of machining product plays important role when it contacted with other machine components. That quality depends on several parameters setting, such as material, cutting tool, cutting condition and operator skill. The aim of this study is to obtain the optimum setting of turning parameters by using Taguchi method. Three control factors: cutting speed, depth of cut, and feeding at three different levels are selected. A series CNC turning process on AISI 1045 material were performed using L9 (3)3 orthogonal array with cutting fluid. Insert carbide cutting tool is used in the experiment. In order to reveal the optimum machining parameter, smaller the better is quality characteristic selected for surface roughness examination of workpiece. Analysis of experiment results revealed that higher cutting speed, low feed, low depth of cut respectively, provides fine surface quality of machined workpiece. Moreover, feed f parameter was found most influence to the surface rougness quality with 53.73% contribution, cutting speed v provides 23.28% contribution, and depth of cut a provides 17.87% contribution. Confirmation experiment shows that level 3 of cutting speed, level 2 of cutting depth, and level 1 of feed deliver smoothest machined surface of Ra 0,46 µm.
