ABSTRACT In the SMAW welding process, there are various types of electrodes with various diameter sizes, besides that the process can use various current strengths. All of that is done to adjust the thickness of the plate and the type of steel. The purpose of this research is to influence the DC electric polarity on the variation of electrodes used. The welding process in this study uses ASTM …
ABSTRACT Freeze vacuum drying is one of the most effective drying methods compared to other drying methods, such as sun drying, solar drying and others. where in vacuum freeze drying it can maintain the quality of the product you want to dry, besides that this method is also very effective for drying products that are easily destroyed when exposed to high temperatures. Where the working princi…
ABSTRACT Solar Pond is a type of solar collector with the ability to store heat energy for a long time and lower construction costs compared to other types of solar collectors. Solar pond functions as a collector and storage of solar thermal energy. Solar pond technology requires development so that it can be applied to power generation. One of them is by using a thermoelectric generator. Ther…
ABSTRACT Photovoltaic (PV) is a technology that can convert sunlight into electricity, while photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) is a technology that can convert sunlight into electricity and heat. In this study the authors compared the performance between the two systems namely PV and PV/T. In the PV/T system, an aluminum plate is added as an absorber, and uses copper pipes as a heat sink, and the wh…
ABSTRACT Vacuum freeze-drying is one of the best drying methods for preservation purposes because it is able to remove moisture content without reducing the quality of the dried product. Indonesia as an agricultural country has one of the agricultural products, namely rice. Rice processed into rice is one of the staple foods for the people of Indonesia. To improve the quality of production in …
ABSTRACT Hexacopter is one of the flying robots in the unmanned rotary wing category. Hexacopter itself does not have a crew or pilot to control its control system, but uses a Ground Control System (GCS). The purpose of this research is to producea design and manufacture of pesticide tanks for hexacopter rides and flight performance of hexacopter rides related to horizontal flight speed, verti…
The demand for energy around the world is increasing gradually as a result of population growth, advances in science and technology. The fossil energy that been used has led to increasing environmental problems such as air pollution, global warming, depletion of the ozone layer and acid rain caused by excessive consumption of fossil fuels. Utilization of renewable energy sources such as wind en…
ABSTRACT Pipes and piping systems are one of the vital elements in the industrial world. As a fluid transportation medium, smooth distribution is of great concern. Disturbances in the form of hard objects can affect the discharge to fluid pressure in the pipe. One of the methods developed is by using acoustic wave media sound signals, namely the acoustic reflectometry method. Not only identify…
ABSTRACT Piping systems are an important part of many applications. Piping systems may be subject to damage such as blockages. Therefore, it is important to detect blockages in pipes. One way is by using ultrasonic imaging technique. In this research, a set up and test method for detecting and imaging blockages in pipes, and identifying the shape and position of the blockage using ultrasonic s…
ABSTRACT Wind turbines are windmills that are used to generate electricity. The basic principle works, namely converting the mechanical energy from the wind into rotational energy, then the rotation of the mill is used to rotate the generator, which in turn will generate electricity. Over time, many turbine innovations have been used. Innovation can be done by fixing existing deficiencies or ad…
ABSTRACT In the manufacture of latex finished goods, the water content that is too high in the latex greatly disrupts the vulcanization process. Therefore, some of the water first needs to be removed to obtain concentrated latex with a dry rubber content (KKK) of 55% -60%. Meanwhile, in the centrifugation method, the equipment investment costs are very expensive. Besides the high price, the ca…
ABSTRACT Tribology is the science that deals with friction, wear and lubrication on surfaces in the relative motion of objects. In machining mechanical contact is unavoidable regarding friction and wear. Mechanical contact that occurs will result in wear and tear between the two surfaces of the elements that touch and move. Friction is the loss of energy due to the occurrence of two objects th…
