The population area is becoming increasingly dense and the number of water infiltration areas is starting to decrease, resulting in Aursati Village becoming an area prone to flooding. The drainage channels in Aursati Village, especially Hamlets 1 and 2, can be said to be not functioning well, due to obstacles and sediment in the drainage channels including rubbish and several channels that look…
The drainage problem in Aursati Village, specifically in Hamlet 4, is currently facing quite a serious problem. Inundations and flooding often occur at several points during the rainy season due to the small dimensions and disconnected drainage channels. The aim of this research is to evaluate channel capacity and analyze alternative drainage management methods. Evaluation of drainage channel c…
At present, there are many applications that facilitate users in analyzing problems, especially in the field of engineering, such as Inventor, Solidworks, Abaqus, and so on. However, these commercial applications come with a relatively high cost, heavy software size, and strict licensing rules. This, of course, raises concerns for users, especially mechanical engineering students at the Univers…
Every machine element that moves and comes into contact will experience failure. This is due to contact between two objects or friction. In other words, friction will definitely occur when objects move and contact each other. This friction that occurs can cause damage or loss of particles from a material, which is called wear. Wear occurs when two objects press and rub against each other. To pr…
Countermeasures conventional plastic waste which does not naturally decompose faces various environmental problems, such as environmental pollution, and sources disease, so needed alternative material plastic environmental friendly (biodegradable) and easily decompose naturally. One of material biodegradable materials was obtained from starch plants and pineapple leaf fiber cellulose. This rese…
Bisphenol-A or commonly abbreviated as BPA, also known as 2,2-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, is an organic component with two phenol functional groups. Bisphenol-A is used to produce polycarbonate plastics and resins. The reason for establishing a Bisphenol-A factory in Indonesia is to meet domestic needs so as to reduce the value of imports. The Bisphenol-A factory uses raw materials in the for…
The forecast of electricity demand in the city of Pekanbaru is conducted from 2023 to 2032 using the linear regression method. The aim of the electricity demand forecast is to anticipate the electricity needs in Pekanbaru for the next 10 years to be used as input in the planning of the electricity system development. The forecast of electricity demand in Pekanbaru is based on four sectors: hous…
The establishment of the Madani General Hospital (RSD Madani Pekanbaru) is one of the Pekanbaru City Government's efforts to improve healthcare services for the community which in line with population growth. This initiative will support hospital expansion through additional polyclinics and increasing demand for parking space. However, the existing parking area at RSD Madani Pekanbaru where the…
The increase in transportation activities in Riau Province, especially in Siak Regency, must be followed by adequate accommodation facilities and infrastructure, especially the terminal. The construction of the planned terminal to be built adjacent to the Tanjung Buton port is expected to increase efficiency for users in transportation activities. However, a project requires an analysis of fina…
This study aims to determine the effect of friction time variations on dissimilar material welding joints and hardness values. The method used is the friction welding method. One material that is widely used in industrial products is mild steel AISI 1037 and stainless steel 304. One of the tools used is the Rotary upright bar-plate friction welding machine. The parameters used are variations in…
Wheelchairs are mobility devices that are often used by people who have difficulty walking using their legs, due to illness, injury, or disability. Ideally, a wheelchair is needed so that the user feels free and comfortable in adjusting the movement of the wheelchair according to their wishes. In fact, this cannot be done by users who have limitations on the hands, so they need other people to …
The piping system is an important feature in the industrial world, because it has an effective and efficient transportation function for shipping liquids and gases. Prevention of damage, whether leaks or blockages, is very important because it can reduce the number of losses both to the economy, the natural environment, and even loss of life. In this research, a method was developed to detect d…
Welding is a process of joining two metals with or without the process of melting the base metal. There are several types of metal that are commonly used in welding, one of which is stainless steel. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of forging pressure on the welding time of the joint in the interface area and the hardness value in the welded joint of 304 stainless steel mater…
Palm oil is one of Indonesia's foreign exchange earning export commodities. This condition has an impact on increasing palm oil production. Increasing palm oil processing causes the waste produced to increase. One of the wastes from the palm oil processing process is palm ash. The silica content in palm ash has the potential to be an alternative source of silica material to replace commercial s…
Based on the implementation of the national unmanned fast boat contest (KKCTBN), the placement of the propeller shaft tilt angle and the number of propeller blades is one of the main factors in the success of the ship's propulsion system. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research on the effect of the propeller shaft tilt angle and the number of propeller blades on the performance of the pr…
Manufacturing a propeller with investment casting consumes times due to the wax pattern molding process. Replacing the pattern material to polylactic acid (PLA) would improve process efficiency. This material can be printed with a 3D printer with results that are close to the size of the final product. This allows to cut the wax pattern molding process. This research aimed to make a propeller u…
