This paper discusses the analysis of speed bump made of concrete foam composite which is used to generate electrical power. Speed bumps are designed to decelerate the speed of vehicles before passing through toll gates, public areas, or any other safety purposes. In Indonesia a speed bump should be designed in the accordance with KM Menhub 3 year 1994. In this research, the speed bump was manufactured with dimensions and geometry comply to the regulation mentioned above. Concrete foam composite speed bumps were used due to its light weight and relatively strong to receive vertical forces from the tyres of vehicles passing over the bumps. The reinforcement materials are processed from empty fruit bunch of oil palm. The materials were subjected to various tests to obtain its physical and mechanical properties. To analyze the structure stability of the speed bumps some models were analyzed using a FEM-based numerical softwares. It was obtained that the speed bumps coupled with polymeric composite bar (3 inches in diameter) are significantly reduce the radial stresses. In addition, the speed bumps equipped with polymeric composite casing or steel casing are also suitable for use as part of system components in producing electrical energy.

The nowadays Physics learning at vocational high school is still focusing on teacher-centered. Therefore, the learners’ activities are only listening to a lecture from the teacher and take notes. The learning process is supposed to be students-centered, the teacher acts as a facilitator and mediator. The learning process should provide an opportunity for learners to acquire knowledge itself in accordance with the prior knowledge they already had, which is the result of interaction with the environment. Such learning process is in accordance with the constructivist view. The method in this research is quantitative research, the research design pretest-posttest control group design. The research subjects are 30 students for the experimental group and 30 students in the control group. The experimental group in this research is the group that is taught by the constructivist approach (student-centered), while the control group is taught by the teacher - centered approach. The obtained findings have significant differences in post test results of students who are treated as experimental groups and with the control group (p <0.05). The conclusion of this research is the implementation of Physics in vocational learning with constructivist approach proved to be effective and influence the improvement of learning outcome of students in the first semester for the tenth grade students of vocational high school.

One model of learning that is most appropriate for vocational school based on standart learning process of curriculum 2013 was the use of project-based learning model. The findings of this study indicate that all of the mechanical machining teachers have implemented the project-based learning model based on their quite comprehensive understanding. Teachers perceive that project-based learning model can improve the hard skills and soft skills of the students. One weakness lies in the project is used, which is produced only by the analysis of the basic competencies of the subjects and does not use projects from industry so that most of the students’ products could not be used, what else is sold.

The objective of this study was to prepare microcrystalline cellulose from Manau rattan (Calamusmanan) and to investigate the influence of concentration of sulfuric acid and hydrolysis time on crystallinity and thermal resistance of the microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). In this research, MCC was extracted through two stages, which is alkalization and acid hydrolysis. Alkalization was prepared by soaking manau rattan powder into sodium hydroxide (NaOH) 17.5wt% at 100°C for 8 hours. Acid hydrolysis was prepared by using sulfuric acid with concentration 0.1 M; 0.3 M; and 0.5 M for 4, 6, 8 and 10 hours. Crystallinity of MCC was measured by XRD, and thermal resistance was characterized by TGA. MCC was successfully extracted from manau rattan. The highest crystallinity of MCC obtained was 72.42% which prepared by acid hydrolysis with concentration 0.5 M for 10 hours. MCC prepared by acid hydrolysis with concentration 0.5 M for 10 hours not only resulted the highest crystallinity but also the best thermal resistance.

This paper consists of the design and analysis of the aerodynamics of the profiles of wing and tail of a Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). UAV is a remote-controlled aircraft that can carry cameras, sensors and even weapons on an area that needed aerial photography or aerial video [1]. The aim of this small UAV is for used in situations where manned flight is considered too risky or difficult, such as fire fighting or surveillance, while the term ’small means the design of this UAV has to be relatively small and portable so that peoples are able to carry it during their operations [CASR Part 101.240: it is a UAV which is has a launch mass greater than 100 grams but less than 100 kilograms] [2]. Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) method was used to analyze the fluid flow characteristics around the aerofoil’s profiles, such as the lift generation for each angle of attack and longitudinal stability caused by vortex generation on trailing edge. Based on the analysis and calculation process, Clark-Y MOD with aspect ratio, AR = 4.28 and taper ratio, λ = 0.65 was chosen as the wing aerofoil and SD 8020 with AR = 4.8 and λ = 0.5 was chosen as the horizontal tail, while SD 8020 with AR = 1.58 and λ = 0.5 was chosen as the vertical tail. The lift and drag forces generated for wing and tail surfaces can be determined from the Fluent 6.3 simulation. Results showed that until angle of attack of 6 degrees, the formation of flow separation is still going on behind the trailing edge, and the stall condition occurs at 14 degrees angle of attack which is characterized by the occurrence of flow separation at leading edge, with a maximum lift coefficient (Cl) obtained = 1.56. The results of flight tests show that this small UAV has successfully maneuvered to fly, such as take off, some acrobatics when cruising and landing smoothly, which means that the calculation and analysis of aerodynamic aerofoil’s profile used on the wing and tail of the Small UAV were able to be validated.

As the time goes by, fossil energy consumption is increasing. Absolutely, It will cause the decreasing on fossil energy. Because of that it is essential to look for renewable energy, for example is solar energy. Solar energy can be implicated on solar air collector. Solar air collector consists of absorber plate, ducting channel, cover glass, and blower.A numerical investigation of heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics in v-corrugated plate solar air collector having prismatic fin on the absorber plate is presented in this study. Three-dimensional simulations are conducted using FLUENT 6.3.26 and SST-Kω turbulence model. The computations are performed for different fin dimension with a varying thickness and spacing of fin. Simulations were used to find the optimal thickness of the 3mm, 4mm, and 5mm fin with 0.25ℓ, 0.50 ℓ, and 0.75 ℓ spacing between the obstacle on each thickness variation. The effects of the fin dimension and spacing on pressure drop and pressure difference are obtained and analyzed. As the result, using fin on the plate absorber enhanced the heat transfer. The maximum value of the thermal performance parameter was found in 3 mm fin thickness and 0.50ℓ spacing with ΔP/ΔT 37.0672 compared to solar air collector without fin. Presence of prism fin generate turbulence in the flow that obviously increase the heat transfer, but it also gives effect on the pressure drop along the ducting channel.
