This paper reported the characteristic of the fusion region of single mode fiber coupler. Theoretical consideration of the coupling model such as the degree of fusion and the profile of the coupling region has been investigated. The degree of fusion was inversely proportional with the separation distance between the fiber axis and the diameter of the fusion region. Fusion and elongation process also has also changed the geometrical structure of the single mode fiber. FESEM image describes that the Silicon distribution was defined as a spherical crystalline which were well-dispersed. The surface of coupling region fiber coupler has the average size of the spherical-shape crystalline varies between 300 – 500 nm. However, by increasing the elongation speed and the temperature will reduce the numbers of Si per unit area, so that the density becomes fewer. It also causes the distance between the spherical shapes become longer.
This paper reported the design of a prototype of hydroelectric power station integrated in floating cages which will permanently developed in crowded of floating cages in Kampar river. The prototype was successfully created by using acrylic material with the thickness of 5mm. The examination Results shows that the prototype was working normally resulting the average voltage of 2.5 volt. Three difference wheel diameters were used for testing, and it found that the electrical current was increases as the increment of the diameter size. A designed sensor system works based on a microcontroller for detecting the water flow velocity, from the observation, the flow was 2.42 m/s. Certainly this prototype is very useful for designing the hydroelectric power station in area of floating cages at Kampar river.
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.
