Wind energy has been developed and used as a source of electrical energy by converting wind energy into electrical energy using a generator. There are some wind turbine parameters that important for wind turbines design and model, includes the size of the rotor radius, airfoil selection, chord length, and pitch angle. The study aims to characterize the performance of a horizontal axis wind turbine using computational methods. The methods used a design and simulation of NACA 4412 and NACA 4712 airfoil using QBlade software using wind conditions in the region of Pancer, Jember. Results show that the maximum Cl value of NACA 4712 is higher than in NACA 4412. NACA 4712 has a maximum Cl value = 1.696 at α = 14 o while NACA 4412 airfoil has a maximum value of Cl = 1.628 at α = 15 o. NACA 4712 has the maximum value of Cl/Cd = 153 at α = 2 o , while the NACA 4412 has a maximum value of Cl/Cd = 133.5 at α = 5.5 o. The maximum value of Cl/Cd 4712 is higher than the NACA 4412. At 7.66 m/s of wind speed with 10% turbulence conditions, wind turbines with NACA 4712 airfoil have Cp turbine performance parameters of 0.49929 and obtain a power of 1.15 kW, while wind turbines with NACA 4412 have Cp turbine performance parameters of 0.395365 and obtained power of 0.889 kW at the same wind speed.
Bacterial cellulose (BC) was synthesized from pineapple peel extract media with addition of fermentation agent bacteria Acetobacter xylinum. BC was disintegrated from the pellicle into bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) by using a high-pressure homogenizer (hph) machine, which has a three-dimensional woven nanofibrous network. The synthesis of composite films started when BNC, graphite nanoplatelets, and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) were homogenized using an ultrasonic homogenizer then baked on a glass mold at a temperature of 80 degrees Celcius for 14h. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to analyze its morphology. X-Ray diffraction spectra were used to analyze the composite films structure. The functional groups of the composite films were analyzed using the FTIR spectrum. SEM micrograph shows that GNP was evenly distributed into BNC matrix after CTAB addition. GNPs are shown as flat and smooth flakes with sharp corners. Some peak corresponds O-H, C-H, C≡C, and CH3 stretching was identified by using FTIR spectroscopy at wavenumber 3379, 2893, 2135, and 1340 cm-1, respectively. XRD analysis shows that Crystalline Index (C.I) of BNC increases after 2.5 wt% addition of GNP. The presence of CTAB decreases C.I value of composite films. BNC/GNP composite films have the best mechanical properties with Young’s modulus about 77.01 ± 8.564.
Wana wisata Bedengan berada di Dusun Selokerto, Desa Selorejo, Kecamatan Dau, Kabupaten Malang. Wisata ini telah dibuka sejak tahun 2007 pada lahan seluas 13,7 hektar yang terletak ±12 km dari Universitas Negeri Malang. Tempat ini memiliki udara khas dataran tinggi, ditumbuhi oleh pepohonan pinus, tanah yang masih subur dan terdapat aliran sungai dengan airnya yang sangat jernih sehingga tempat ini sangat cocok sebagai wisata edukasi tentang ekosistem. Mitra desa ingin mengembangkan wisata edukasi ikan di tempat ini, sehingga sangat diperlukan pengetahuan, keterampilan dan teknik budidaya ikan. Untuk itu dilakukan beberapa tahapan kegiatan, yaitu: 1. Survey lokasi wana wisata bedengan; 2. Pengkondisian lokasi yang pas untuk dijadikan kolam ikan dan pengambilan sampel air; 3. Pembelian dan pengkondisan ikan koi; 4. Pemindahan ikan koi ke kolam; 4. Pelatihan pemeliharaan ikan yang melibatkan 11 anggota pengelola wisata bedengan serta mengundang narasumber ahli. 5. Pemberian bantuan pakan serta praktek pemeliharaan ikan koi. Setelah pelaksaan rangkaian kegiatan tersebut, anggota pengelola wisata bedengan sudah dapat memahami dan mampu melakukan proses pemeliharaan ikan koi dengan baik. Para pengunjung juga memberikan respon positif dengan adanya wisata edukasi ikan ini.
Abstrak. This research identified the effect of additional polyethylene glycol (PEG) in bacterial cellulose made from pineapple peel waste. The produced pellicles were soaked in PEG solution with 0%, 1%, 2.5%, and 5%. Then, they were homogenised using an ultrasonic homogeniser for 15 minutes before dried using the freeze-drying method. The functional groups were observed using FTIR. The functional groups showed the presence of cellulose I and cellulose II at 439.08 cm−1, 2895.15 cm−1, 1963.53 cm−1 1633.71 cm−1, 1315.45 cm−1, 839.03 cm−1 wavenumbers. Additional PEG caused an increase of the C-H bond at 1963.53 cm−1 wave number.
