Abstract

The availability of petroleum which continues to decrease and the level of public consumption which is always increasing are serious problems today. Renewable energy needs to be researched on an ongoing basis to anticipate the availability problems above. Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) is an environmentally friendly source of electrical energy because it only requires hydrogen and oxygen as raw materials and water as a result of the reaction. This study will discuss the PEMFC flow field plate because this component dominates the weight and cost of manufacture. Research on flow field plate PEMFC with wave rectangular cross-section is necessary to develop the PEMFC concept with better performance results. This study aims to determine the effect of the wavy cross-section shape on the distribution of channel average speed, channel outlet speed, inlet pressure, channel average pressure, and channel outlet pressure. This study uses a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) method using SolidWorks flow simulation software. This study provides an overview of the serpentine type of flow field plate with a wave rectangular and rectangular cross-section. The wave rectangular cross-section has a higher average velocity, outlet velocity, inlet pressure, and pressure than the rectangular cross-section. This is what will make PEMFC performance higher. The wave rectangular cross-section has nearly the same number of outlet pressures as the rectangular cross-section. Possible development of this research is the creation of simulation software to calculate other parameters that affect PEMFC performance.

Abstract

Electro-deposition process to develop surface layer on the substrate material in Catalytic converter (CATCO) become interesting area due to that process was purposed to improve the physical properties of substrate material. Currently, precious metals such as Platinum (Pt), Palladium (Pd), and Rodium (Rd) were used due to excellent oxidation resistant but it limited and easily oxidized. Therefore, Nickel Oxide (NiO) catalyst used as electro-deposition material. NiO electro-deposition technique that called by EL was conducted by using NiO as cathode and FeCrAl as substrate and -Al2O3 as washcoat material. This technique was performed by  variation times of 15, 30, 45, 60 and 75 minutes, current density of 8 A/dm2. The results shows that Coating layer of NiO and  -Al2O3 has been developed on surface of FeCrAl substrate. The coating layer was increase the surface roughness which showed by surface morphology data that coated FeCrAl substrate has uneven surface and some particles has been embedded on that surface. The composition of raw material was consists of Fe for 74.13wt%,  Cr of 20.25 wt% and Al of 5.62 wt%. Meanwhile, for composition of EL samples was 52.56- 63.54wt% for Fe element, Al for 3.56-11.89 wt%, Cr for 14.97-18.56 wt%, O for 2.47-11.78 wt%, C for 8.33-11.85 wt%, Na for 0.11-0.48 wt%  and Ni for 0.17- 1.58 wt%.  Higher elements of the EL samples potential to improve the thermal stability at high temperature due to CATCO operate at high temperature of 600-8500C and in extreme condition.

Abstract

Gas stations (SPBU in Indonesia) have the potency for fire and explosion hazards due to the storage and distribution of flammable liquids, one of which is Pertamax. This can be a non-military threat in the dimension of public safety because if it occurs, the resulting loss could be very large in terms of material or life. This study aims to determine the risk of fire and explosion at Indonesian gas station. This study uses Dow's Fire and Explosion Index in asimulated case method. The potential for fire and explosion or the value of the Fire Explosion Index (F&EI) in the simulated case is 111,24. The actual exposure radius is 29.62 m and the damage factor to the Pertamax storage tank is 63%. The results of the study have a risk level that is classified as Intermediate, so it is necessary to control risks such as increasing active protection and is expected to be an input in efforts to safeguard against non-military threats so as to reduce the impact of risks and losses that occur in the Pertamax storage tank.

Abstract

In this research, a solid Cu/CuSO4 reference electrode has been developed. In this development process, the Cu/CuSO4 solid reference electrode provided consists of two types, namely the Cu/CuSO4 I solid reference electrode (ERP Cu/CuSO4 I) and the Cu/CuSO4 II solid reference electrode (ERP Cu/CuSO4 II). ERP Cu/CuSO4 I was prepared using two layers, namely the Cu/CuSO4 layer and the cellulose acetate layer which were placed sequentially on the surface of the planar type Cu electrode. Meanwhile, ERP Cu/CuSO4 II was prepared using three layers, namely a layer of cotton fiber/cellulose acetate, a layer of Cu/CuSO4, and a layer of cotton/cellulose acetate placed in sequence on the surface of the planar type Cu electrode, where the CuSO4 layer is between the two layers of cotton/cellulose acetate. Both types of Cu/CuSO4 solid reference electrodes were characterized by testing DmV in various concentrations of KCl solution and ERP Cu/CuSO4 II has been produced as the best reference electrode for Cu/CuSO4 solids with a DmV value of 3.3 mV. Furthermore, ERP Cu/CuSO4 II was selected for characterization using cyclic voltammetry (CV) testing, response vs Cl sensor testing, and drif testing. In CV testing, ERP Cu/CuSO4 provides a voltammogram graph pattern similar to the Ag/AgCl reference electrode as a commercial reference electrode. Meanwhile, in testing the response vs sensor Cl, ERP Cu/CuSO4 II gave a Nernstian number value  of -50.1 mV/decade with a test range of 0.1-10-3 M. ERP Cu/CuSO4 II showed fairly good stability, namely with a drift value of 0.46 mV/minute which is achieved after the conditioning process after 12 minutes.

Abstract

The similarity and non-similarity analysis are presented to investigate the effect of buoyancy force on the steady flow and heat transfer of fluid past a heated wedge. The fluid is assumed to be a Newtonian, viscous and incompressible. The wall of the wedge is an impermeable with power law free stream velocity and a wall temperature. Due to the effect of a buoyancy force, a power law of free stream velocity and wall temperature, then the flow field is similar when n = 2m - 1, otherwise is non-similar when n ≠ 2m - 1. The governing boundary layer equations are written into dimensionless forms of ordinary differential equations by means of Falkner-Skan transformation. The resulting ordinary differential equations are solved by Runge-Kutta Gill with shooting method for finding a skin friction and a rate of heat transfer. The effects of buoyancy force and non-uniform wall temperature parameters on the dimensionless velocity and temperature profiles are shown graphically. Comparisons with previously published works are performed and excellent agreement between the results is obtained. The conclusion is drawn that the flow field and temperature profiles are significantly influenced by these parameters.

Abstract

The main difficulty in investigation of thin film systems is the lack of capability to get detail information of the material in nano level due to the low resolution of conventional imaging techniques such as SEM, SIMS etc. In this work Electron Spectroscopy Imaging (ESI) in energy filtered transmission electron microscope (EFTEM) was used to produce a real image of boron distribution in a diamond film deposited on (111) Si by chemical vapor deposition. The result revealed the layer consists of 1.3 μm thick diamond structured carbon film adjacent to Si substrate and 120 nm amorph carbon layer on top most surface. Boron atoms were distributed uniformly in both layer, however slight higher concentration in the second layer is observed. There was obviously no grain boundary enrichment of Boron atoms observed.
