Research on corona discharges from plasma generators has been studied using the line-plane configurations (L-PC). The purpose of this study is to calculate the comparison of the level of conformity of the voltage current characteristic curve (I–V) from the simulation results of numerical calculations of the electrode geometry function and the results of experimental data. There is an electrode (electrode 1) in the form of a rectangular plate with a very thin thickness which has a length and width of a and b respectively in an upright position (line configuration). Electrode 1 has a distance of c to electrode 2 which is in a lying position (plane configuration) below the electrode 1. Furthermore, by using variation of c of 2.5 cm, 2.8 cm, 3.1 cm and 3.4 cm, the two electrodes are connected to the plasma generating equipment, thus producing a plasma discharge that comes out of the tip of the electrode 1 towards electrode 2. Research results from all variations of c prove that there is a high degree of suitability between numerical calculations with experimental data by taking the value of the fitting for the sharpness shape factor of k in the area with the largest plasma discharge.
Performance evaluation system has a very strategic role in improving the performance of a company. Companies generally judge performance based only on the financial aspect only, regardless of other aspects that are also not less important. This study aims to build a performance evaluation system using a Balanced Scorecard perspective framework that is a financial perspective, customer perspective, internal business process perspective and learning and growth perspective, which can assist decision makers in evaluating performance and prioritizing competitive alternative measures in enhancing the achievement of strategic objectives company. Implementation of the Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique Exploiting Ranks (SMARTER) method of performance evaluation system provides the right performance evaluation data. The data were obtained by calculating the criteria and sub-criteria weightings from 4 perspectives and 14 key performance indicators (KPIs) based on the BSC perspective using Rank Order Centroid (ROC) weighting to obtain criteria and sub-criteria rating according to importance level. Base on case studies, the results of this research indicate that the perspective of internal business processes with a priority weight of 0.521 is the most important perspective in evaluating business startup performance, then the customer perspective with a weight of 0.271, then learning and growth perspective with a weight of 0.146 and perspective finance with a weight of 0.063. While the asset turnover performance indicator with a weight value of 0.009 and profit investment with a weight of 0.004 from a financial perspective are important factors for improvement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
