Hot water storage tank that was made from stainless still was investigated in this case. The tank was found failure in service due to corrosion in welded section. Corrosion also was found at the bottom part of the storage tank. The tank was used for no longer than one year but unfortunately severe corrosion was found. The purpose of this research is to find the reason why the tank easily corroded especially at the bottom part and at the welding section. The research was carried out by conducting metallographic examination directly in situ by utilizing portable metallographic microscope. It is found from investigation that the corrosion was happen due to galvanic corrosion. Investigation by using X ray fluorescence also agree that the composition of the bottom part of the tank was different with the wall, and upper section. The welding filler also was found not correctly prepared that make pitting corrosion to occur. It is suggested to conduct advance research to investigate the correct composition for the filler during welding.

This study observed the effect of bed material in the pyrolysis process. Also, other parameter such as the heating rate have been observed. The biomass studied is Sunan Candlenut cake. This biomass is a potential commodity as a producer of biodiesel. Through the method of mechanical press and esterification, it will leave waste in the form of a cake that still contains crude oil. Trapped oil can be converted into bio-oil through the pyrolysis technique. Parameters that affect the pyrolysis process include the addition of bed material and heating rate. Pyrolysis of this candlenut cake has been tested to determine the amount of activation energy. Heating rates are varied to 5, 10 and 20 K per minute and bed material used is iron sand. The testing instruments uses Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). The results show that the lowest activation energy of 15.497 [KJ/mol] is achieved when added iron sand at the heating rate of 10 K per minute.

This work is intended to compare the SEVNB and the SCF methods for fracture toughness testing. Both of the test methods are applied to a silicon nitride. Both methods are standardized and both have some minor shortcomings with respect to practicability and match of the theoretical description of the test situation with the actual test situation. SEVNB is easy to perform, but uses a notch of known depth (+ small micro-cracks of unknown size in front of a notch) instead of a crack, SCF uses a presumably residual stress-free indentation crack which is sometimes difficult to measure, not always semi-elliptical, as assumed to apply the evaluation formula, and may be accompanied by lateral cracks. Both methods will be analysed with respect to possible experimental errors. Variations of the SCF method are applied in order to examine how pre-cracks can be introduced which can be detected on the fracture surface. The geometry of the SCF-pre-crack is varied by applying different loads and by removing different amounts of material. The geometry of the Knoop pre-cracks system is investigated. The results help to identify conditions under which the SCF method can be used successfully to measure the fracture toughness of silicon nitride ceramics.

Every electronic device has a disadvantage that is heat generated from the components contained in the device while operating. The heat that occurs during the process can affect the effectiveness of these electronic devices. The cooling fan is directed to a heat source from an electronic device with the aim of maintaining the device's performance temperature. However, the cooling fan used still has some disadvantages in terms of dimensions. Therefore, research on synthetic jets is carried out as an innovation in cooling. This study aims to find wave characteristics as a source. Optimum frequency selection to support cooling. As well as the ideal height of synthetic jets to heat sources. The method used in the research is direct and computer-based data retrieval for CFD. The use of triangular waves as a source of cooling with a frequency of 80 Hz at an altitude of 8 cm can reduce rapidly. However, the lowest final temperature comes from a height of 2 cm which is 28.1 °C.

Cooling effectiveness using a cooling fan on an electronic device becomes a benchmark. Speaker- based synthetic jets that are becoming innovations today work on the principle of zero input mass, producing air in the cavity with an oscillating membrane which results in the suction phase occurring in the orifice hole. The generated air then flows through the orifice to pound the heat source as a forced convection cooler. Speakers used as oscillating actuators resemble waveforms using sine, square, and triangular wave functions with frequencies of 80, 100, and 120 Hz. Air flow simulation created using Fluent CFD. The use of wave variations has different characteristics. Triangular waves indicate the final test temperature reaches 27oC, with an optimum frequency of 80 Hz. Air flow created in the form of vortex flow with a type of turbulent flow. The electric power consumption of cooling fans reaches ten times the consumption of synthetic jet power.

In improving the quality of human resources, one of which lies in the quality of quality education. In this case, education has a very important meaning in human life, both in the life of individuals, nations, and countries. Therefore education must be implemented as well as possible so that it is following the objectives that have been planned. The objectives to be achieved from this study are to produce teaching materials for GMAW welding practice materials, produce teaching materials that are suitable for use in GMAW welding practices, and provide an evaluation of the effectiveness of using GMAW welding practice teaching materials after being used in learning. This research method uses the Borg and Gall development research method which is simplified into four steps, namely modified (simplified) into 4 steps consisting of: (1) preliminary study; (2) product development and validation; (3) limited trial; and (4) the final product. The type of research used in this research is the development of teaching materials in the form of practice modules, job sheets, and evaluation sheets in the GMAW welding practice course. Based on the research results, the researcher can conclude that the development of teaching materials for GMAW welding practices has been implemented properly. The revised results from the experts have been applied to the modules made so that the modules can be used properly by students.

There are so many areas in Indonesia that are prone to landslides. Bogor is the regency with the most frequent landslides. Therefore, high community preparedness is needed to deal with the landslide, especially at the household level because it is the spearhead of preparedness and influence disaster risk. The objective of this research is to measure and analyze the level of household preparedness for facing landslide. The location of this research is in Cibadak Village, Bogor regency where a landslide disaster had happened. This is a quantitative research. The number of the samples were 100 household. Data collection was done by surveying samples and distributing questionnaires. The data would be analyzed with descriptive analysis, and the results of level of household preparedness would be categorized to five levels which were very prepared (80-100), prepared (65-79), almost prepared (55-64), less prepared (40-54), and not prepared (0-39).

Construction installations built with stainless steel are the main choice of the list of materials that can be used for construction near the sea. With the recent discovery of tungsten inert gas (TIG) technology, construction with stainless steel can be realized. In some cases stainless steel welding joints are made by connecting with stainless steel of different types without regard to the strength generated especially if experiencing corrosion in this case corrosion due to sea water. In this study the tensile strength of stainless steel combination joints of type 304-201 was tested and compared with similar joints of types 304-304 and 201-201. The effect of seawater corrosion on the tensile strength of stainless steel joints was also examined. This research found that the highest tensile strength is 304-304 joints followed by 304-201 combination connections and the lowest is 201-201 joints. The effect of seawater corrosion is known to reduce the tensile strength of all types of joints.
