Kalimantan
- Authors: Fahrur Aslami, Elysa Nensy Irawan, Mohammad Muntaha, Suyatno, Mochamad Sahal
  Abstract: This research was conducted to determine the potential for wind power from the Tamiang Bay area, Kotabaru, South Kalimantan. This study uses data on the average daily wind speed in Tamiang Bay with latitude -4.058883°, longitude 116.050259° obtained from the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Based on the analysis that has been done, the average daily wind speed in Tamiang Bay is 4 m/s for a height of 10 m and 5.98 m/s for a height of 50 m. Through the assumption that using a Gamesa G114-2.5 MW wind turbine with a tower height of 80 m, in one year, the Tamiang Bay area has the potential to produce 2646.58 MWh of wind power. Thus, the Tamiang Bay area is said to be very potential for wind power development.

Effect of Quenching Medium and Tempering Temperature on Microstructure and
Hardness of JIS SUP 9 Steel
- Authors: Andrie Harmaji, Akhmad Ardian Korda, Rama Ramadhan, Satrio Pambudi
  Abstract: JIS SUP 9 steel is one of the materials commonly used for suspension components in motorized vehicles with medium carbon steel base material. It must have good hardness and toughness so that failure does not occur during operational. This research was conducted to increase the hardness of JIS SUP 9 Steel through a heat treatment and various quenching media. The heat treatment was carried out with 830-880ºC temperature with a holding time of 7 minutes then cooled using water and oil. After treatment, tempering was carried out with a holding time of 7 minutes and then cooled in room temperature. Hardness testing was carried out using Microhardness Vickers and then the microstructure was observed using an Olympus Metallurgical Microscope. The results show that heat treatment followed by rapid cooling increases the initial hardness of JIS SUP 9 (229 VHN) steel. The decrease in hardness after the tempering process will be higher with increasing tempering temperature. The results of the microstructure of the sample without heat treatment showed pearlite and ferrite phases. After heat treatment, tempered martensite, residual austenite and carbide phases appear. It can be concluded that changes in the microstructure affect the hardness of JIS SUP 9 steel.

The Effect of Silica Sand Size on Mechanical Properties, Permeability and
Proppant Microstructure
- Authors: Nover Martaheru, Dedikarni, Rieza Zulrian Aldio, Dody Yulianto, Kurnia Hastuti
  Abstract: Pellet silika merupakan produk teknologi keramik komposit berbahan penguat pasir silika yang diaplikasikan dalam industri minyak dan gas sebagai proppant (pasir frank) maupun sebagai filter air dan industri perminyakan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan pengaruh ukuran pasir silika terhadap kekuatan tekan, permeabilitas dan mikrostruktur. Pada penelitian ini, ukuran pasir silika yang dipilih ukuran pasir silika halus yaitu (200 mesh) dan pasir silika kasar yaitu (20 mesh) dan diikat oleh polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400. Hasil uji kekuatan tekan terendah didapat pada sampel I yaitu 33,24 MPa sedangkan kekuatan tekan tertinggi pada sampel III yaitu sebesar 34,05 MPa. Karena semakin banyaknya ukuran butir pellet silika halus mampu memberikan ikatan interfacial pada polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400, dengan ukuran diameter lebih kecil akan memudahkan terjadi ikatan pada matriks sehingga meningkatkan nilai kekuatan tekan. Namun, uji permeabilitas berbanding terbalik pada kekuatan tekan dimana nilai permeabilitas tertinggi didapat pada sampel I yaitu 29,93 mD, sedangkan nilai permeabilitas terendah pada sampel III yaitu sebesar 23,35 mD. Hal ini karena adanya hubungan ukuran pasir silika halus yang berlawanan arah dengan ukuran pasir silika kasar. Artinya, apabila ukuran butir pasir silika halus naik dan ukuran butir silika kasar turun maka nilai permeabilitas turun. Hasil pengamatan mikrostruktur pada sampel I terlihat lebih sedikit rongga atau porosity dan membuat suatu ikatan interfacial yang lebih kuat. Karena adanya ukuran butir pasir silika halus lebih dominan banyak dari pada ukuran butir pasir silika kasar serta dibantu oleh pengikat berupa polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400.

The Effect of Reflector Angle Variations on The Performance of Solar
Destilators of Wick Solar Still Type
- Authors: Sabarianto, Sehat abdi saragih, Irwan Anwar, Jhonni Rahman
  Abstract: Air bersih sangat dibutuhkan untuk masyarakat yang tinggal didaerah padat penduduk. Kelangkaan dan kesulitan untuk mendapatkan air bersih menjadi permasalahan yang banyak muncul dikalangan masyarakat dimana hampir sebagian besar sumber air tanah yang didapat adalah air keruh. Sumber air yang ada sudah terkontaminasi dengan tanah, logam berat, bakteri dan bahan lain yang merugikan kesehatan. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan air keruh tersebut perlu adanya usaha untuk mendapatkan sumber air yang bersih dengan menggunakan alat yang disebut dengan Destilator Surya Tipe Wick Sollar Still dengan penambahan reflektor. Untuk mengetahui pengaruh sudut reflektor pada unjuk kerja destilator surya. Kemudian mendapatkan sudut reflektor yang memiliki unjuk kerja destilator surya yang paling baik. Alat ini berfungsi sebagai pengubah air keruh menjadi air bersih siap pakai dengan cara menguapkan dengan memanfaatkan energi panas matahari. Dalam pengujian destilator menggunakan 5 variasi sudut reflektor 55°,58°,60°,62°,65°. Sudut reflektor memiliki pengaruh terhadap unjuk kerja destilator surya tipe wick sollar still dimana semakin besar sudut reflektor maka unjuk kerja nya semakin baik. Destilator surya tipe wick sollar still yang memiliki unjuk kerja terbaik terdapat pada sudut reflektor 65° dimana diperoleh energi penguapan yang paling tinggi sebesar 37,48 watt. Kemudian diperoleh energi pengembunan yang paling tinggi sebesar 37,48 watt. Lalu diperoleh laju destilasi yang paling tinggi sebesar 0,0000158 kg⁄s. Kemudian diperoleh efisiensi produk yang paling tinggi sebesar 8%. Kemudian diperoleh efisiensi sistem destilasi yang paling tinggi sebesar 10,4% dan diperoleh kuantitas air destilasi yang paling tinggi sebesar 400 ml.

Design & Development of a Screw Conveyor-Based Soybean Washing Machine
for Tempeh Production
- Authors: Zoel Fachri, Rouhillah, Muharrir Alwathani
  Abstract: Soybeans are one of the main ingredients for making tempeh. Most of the tempeh production businesses still use the traditional system of washing soybeans. Washing soybeans is still done manually using a washing drum filled with water and stirred by hand, thus draining the workforce. In the process of washing soybeans, there is still direct contact with parts of the human body, resulting in unhygienic soybeans. From these problems, the solution is to make a machine that can wash soybeans in tempeh production which aims to facilitate washing soybeans and produce clean and hygienic soybeans. The soybean washing machine process uses a screw conveyor system with an AC motor 1 phase 1 HP 1420 Rpm as a driving force and a DC 12 V 25 W water pump to drain water into the watering canal. The machine can wash 5 kg of soybeans for 10 seconds, and produces a motor rotation of 271.2 Rpm, voltage 229 V, current 2.58 A to produce clean and hygienic soybeans.

Irrigation Channels

  Abstract: This study simulated the characteristics of the fluid flow that passes through the Darrieus turbine before installation and testing were carried out. The purpose of knowing the flow characteristics can determine the profile and position of the maximum speed so that the design and placement of the turbine can be improved. The research method was carried out using dynamic fluid computational simulations in three-dimensional form with steady state conditions, discretization using second-order, with convergent conditions when it reached 10-6. The simulation results show that the position of the flow above the turbine had the lowest value because the fluid flowed relatively without disturbance which caused the velocity to had a value almost the same as the incoming fluid velocity. The fluid velocity increased when it was in line 2 and line 3 or across the turbine. This was due to the turbulence generated by the rotation of the turbine. While the speed on line 4 or below the turbine had a lower value than line 2 and line 3. This was due to the position below the turbine so that the turbine rotation did not have an impact on speed. At the four line positions the velocity increased at Y=0.7 m or when the fluid hits the turbine. This increase in fluid velocity was expected to turn the turbine. The results also included the flow distribution in the form of a streamline in several positions where the flow that was in contact with the channel wall had a low velocity value due to friction with the wall.
