Abstract
Vorticity causes many adverse effects on the area near the surface, both on moving (turbine blade) and fixed objects. Therefore, this study attempts to investigate the effects of free-stream turbulence on trailing edge vortex on the NACA 0015 airfoil profile. This research was conducted using two-dimensional numerical simulations. To determine the interaction of vortex and free stream turbulence, two variations of turbulent intensity were given, namely 0.5% and 4.6% with Reynolds number of 1.6 x 105. The k-e turbulence model was used in the current study. The angle of attack of the flow towards the airfoil was varied from 0 deg. to 25 deg. in conditions of increase and decrease in the horizontal position of the airfoil. The result was found that there is an agreement between the simulation and the experiment result. Increased turbulent intensity can delay the stall condition, the stall process begins to be observed after the 12 deg. attack angle at 0.5% turbulent intensity while at turbulent intensity 4.6% the stall process was found after the 15deg. attack angle. From a velocity streamline, it was found that an increase in turbulent intensity can inhibit vortex growth.

Abstract
The potential energy analysis of biomass waste as a sustainable source of energy continues to increase with various design to obtain maximum efficiency. Modification of the type of material, diameter, and length of the connecting tube between the reactor and the condenser can increase its effectiveness. The optimal parameter search for the connecting tube that produces liquid-smoke are carried out using galvanized pipes and stainless-steel pipes with variations in diameter ¼ inch, ¾ inch, and length 1 meter, 0.5 meters. Testing the quantity of liquid-smoke results on sugar palm waste samples was carried out at 400 C for 60 minutes by seeing an increase of the amount of liquid-smoke. The results of the study show variations in size and type of tube affect the product yield of the pyrolysis process. Stainless-steel pipes have better performance to produce liquid-smoke. The shorter the length of the pipe increases the quantity of liquid-smoke, but the smaller the diameter of the pipe decreases the quantity of liquid-smoke. This paper discusses in more detail the comparison of the performance of connecting tube by modifying the type of material, the length, and the diameter of the pipe.

Abstract
Knowledge of vibration and the resulting data is very important for maintenance and troubleshooting where this ability can help companies reduce the occurrence of downtime and can increase profits both in terms of production and from a longer machine life. One of the causes of high vibrations is a misalignment in a centrifugal pump installation that is driven by an electric motor and connected by a fixed clutch. The method used is to do differences in height in the horizontal, vertical and angular directions by providing variations in the rotation of the electric motor and pump, then checking at four bearing positions on the electric motor and pump. The results showed an increase in vibration at each addition of the sim on the electric motor fastener bolts, the greatest vibration occurred in the MOV (indoor motor axiall) with the addition of a 1.5mm sim of 3.01 mm / sec an average increase of 29% and at the largest pump vibration in POA (outdoor axial pump) with the addition of a 1.5mm sim of 9.88mm / sec, increased by an average of 58%.

Abstract
This paper presents a simple analytical approach to define cut geometry of multi-pass rough milling during a free-form surface milling. The shape of in-process workpiece surface was identified using the coordinate of corner points that are found in every step of stair surface. In every instantaneous tool location, the workpiece sections that have possibility intersecting with the cutting edge were identified based on the coordinate of cutter location point. The algorithm was developed for machining using indexable flat end-mill by considering the effect of helix angle to the cut geometry. The proposed method was successfully used to determine the length of cut and generated the shape of cuts. The validation of the accuracy was carried out by comparing the length of cut measured using CAD software with those generated by the proposed approach. The results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm was accurate. Moreover, the test validated that the helix angle tends to produce larger cut.

Abstract
Recently, the shipbuilding industry has been able to develop new production methods. This new methods promotes design automation in order to produce ships more efficiently. Engine room design, including the piping system, is a complex process especially in the pipe routing problem. This process requires a considerable number of man hours. This paper presents a new approach for optimization of pipe routing system. The Dijkstra-s algorithm is used to obtain short path by considering some constraints like number of pipe bends and pipe cross. The method works by generating some candidate paths based on the given paramaters geometrically. The non-geometric paramaters such as material cost and installation cost will also be assesed. Then by using the algorithm, the desire option from various candidate paths will be evaluated. This study discusses the details of the above methods. In addition, simulation test of a several piping systems were carried out to illustrate the pipe routing design procedure in detail and to verify the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.

Abstract
This study aims to identify the effect of road surface contours on the fatigue life of a coil spring and a lower arm. In this study, strain gauges were installed at the critical points of the components based on stress distributions. According to the chemical composition tests, the coil spring was made from SAE 5160 and lower arm was made from AISI 1513. Strain signals obtained were analyzed using the Coffin-Manson, Morrow, and Smith-Watson-Topper models. Based on the strain signals, it was found that when the vehicle was driven on the rough road, coil spring and lower arm received higher stresses contributing to a shorter fatigue life. The fatigue life of the coil spring when was driven on the rough road was 7 % lower than when was driven on the smooth road. Meanwhile the fatigue life of the lower arm when was driven on the rough surface was only 0.03 % lower than when was driven on the smooth road. It indicated that the coil spring will fail faster than the lower arm. This is because the contour of the road surfaces provide a vertical load so that it is in accordance with the function of the coil spring which works to reduce the load vertically, while the lower arm functions to hold the load when turning.

Abstract
Chatter is frequently problem experienced in the area of machining process which brings down machining productivity and surface quality. Therefore, reliable and intense chatter detection methods are needed to maintain machining quality. In this study, turning chatter detection approach by using sound signal and simple microphone is proposed to get an accurate, simple and low cost detection method. For that purpose, an experimental set-up which consist of operating turning machine, simple microphone and personal computer (PC) with sound card is arranged. The chatter in turning process is stimulated by applying an artificial wear to the cutting tool. The sound signal data from normal and with chatter turning process are then grabbed by simple microphone and PC with sound card. The sound signals are then evaluated by Fast Fourier Transfom (FFT) and Wavelet Transform (WT) for normal and chatter conditions. Both of conditions data are then compared to get the characteristic of sound signal in chatter. It is found that signals in frequency domain, time-frequency and spectrogram have significant magnitude spike in chatter condition. 3-D spectrogram exhibits a special contours which signs the existence of chatter. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can conscientiously identify the chatter.

Abstract
This field X well production has indeed occurred in the sand and this well has been carried out with waterflooding with injection water that is currently available. In this study of sand problems it is intended to find out the cause of the problem of sandiness in terms of laboratory analysis of formation rock samples and injection fluid. Laboratory analysis consists of fluid characterization, rock characterization that is specifically assigned to rock minerals (SEM and XRD), and fluid injection compatibility tests with rocks, then a sand retention test is performed. After the addition of clay stabilizer in injection water, Zone A, Zone B and Zone C have increased apparent permeability to reach an interval of 500% -1000% mD. The use of Zetpass cannot be used in zone A because there is a lot of clay and the grain is very fine, but it can be used in zones B and C. Fluid interactions with rock minerals and chemical interactions will reduce the cementation of rocks so that they can trigger the occurrence of sand. Clay stabilizer is important to note in wells that have done waterflooding. ZetPas solution is able to become sand control but has limitations.

The results showed that in general the performance of R-1270 is better than synthetic refrigerants. The EER, CoP, and RE R-1270 are greater than synthetic refrigerants. This value indicates that the R-1270 has a greater performance. The amount of refrigerant flowing, pressure, and energy consumption of electricity R-1270 are smaller than synthetic refrigerants. The data shows that R-1270 is more efficient than synthetic refrigerants. The lowest temperature that can be achieved by R-1270 is 1-2 oC higher than synthetic refrigerant. The difference does not have a big effect on the room to be conditioned. Comparison of performance with R-290 hydrocarbon refrigerants, R-1270 performance is still slightly below the performance of R-290. The difference is because the material used by the two hydrocarbons is different. The conclusion of this study is that R-1270 and R-290 are more effective and efficient for use in residential air conditioners. Technically R-1270 and R-290 can replace (retrofit) R-22 and R-32 in residential AC systems.

Abstract
In 2015, the Government through a special allocation fund has finished constructing an off-grid 15 KWp off-grid solar power plant in Paya Tampah Village, Aceh Tamiang district. Currently, it has been utilized by at least 50 heads of local transmigration families. With the lighting of renewable energy is expected to provide more value to improve peoples living standards and support educational activities in order to continue to run. The construction of this centralized solar power plant is based on the ministerial regulation of energy and mineral resources of the republic of Indonesia, year 2015 no.10, on technical guidance on the use of special allocation funds for rural energy in 2015. The long term reliability of concentrated solar power plants is highly dependent on on-site measurements because of the uncertainty in some of the ever-changing data such as irradiation value, drought rate, which can cause significant power losses and then affect the estimated cost of PV (kWh). With the aim of upgrading capabilities in off-grid solar power plant planning especially in the province of Aceh, this paper will outline in detail the comparison of the results of calculating the performance of off-grid 15 KWp off-grid solar power with system performance measurement results after 2 years of operation. Performance calculations were performed with PVsyst software and software HOME. From the measurement results obtained the total power generated by off-grid solar power plant is 12 kWp and used by 45 households. The cost incurred during installation is USD 300 thousand. From the simulation results with the same technical specifications obtained cheaper cost with the output power of 15 kWp. The results of this study are expected to be used by local governments to be a benchmark on the future planned off-grid solar power plant planning.

Abstract
Abstract The development of prosthetic limbs in Indonesia is still conventional. Users still have difficulty to move fake legs and spend a lot of energy. These problems can be reduced by using the robotic prosthetic limbs. Bionic robot leg movements can be regulated by the implementation of a control system on the Microcontrolle. The auto tuning parameters of PID control system design is using to achieve the optimal of the responses. Beside that this research is also using the intelligence control system that is Fuzzy Logic makes it easy to create a motion control system program from a dc motor mounted on the robotic foot joint. The purpose of this study is to compare the results of the performance of the use of PID control systems and fuzzy controls. The bionic robot leg control system produce the optimal motions, accurate movement and fast response by reducing signal errors, maximum overshoot, and faster settle time.

Abstract
The amount of agricultural waste that is underutilized and plastic waste thrown away is one of the factors of environmental pollution that is difficult to overcome. Even if you can use it well, agricultural waste and plastic waste can have economic value. This study aims to determine the impact strength of hybrid composites by utilizing corn husk waste, banana midrib waste and Polyethylene Telephthalate plastic waste as plasterboard. The way to make it is corn husk fiber and banana midrib fiber until it becomes powder, then the fiber is sieved with a 50 mesh sieve. While plastic waste is chopped to small. Furthermore, corn husk fiber powder, banana midrib fiber powder and plastic powder are mixed using epoxy resin and then cold pressed for 10 hours. Data is collected by means of testing tensile strength. From the results of the study it can be concluded that corn husk fiber, banana midrib fiber and Polyethylene Telephthalate plastic can be used as a mixture of environmentally friendly waterproof plasterboard making. In further development, these composites not only can be used as plasterboard, but can be used as house doors, study tables, room walls, ironing boards, canopies, sound absorbers, etc.

Abstract
Indonesia as one of the archipelagic countries with 16,055 islands and has been registered with the United Nations through the United Nations Conference on The Standardization of Geographical Names (UNCSGN) and United Nations Groups of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN) certainly requires transportation facilities that can reach all areas of the country. The most efficient and effective mode of transportation to reach all the islands in Indonesia is aircraft. Along with the increasing number of users it will increase the number of requests in the level of comfort and safety of passengers, one of which is in the feasibility of an aircraft. The fuselage as one of the components of an open airplane will easily corrode. Where corrosion in the fuselage is a significant problem for commercial and military aircraft. This study aim to study the corrosion rate of aircraft metal components in the fuselage against pH variations. pH variations in this study were 3.4; 3.8; 4.4; 4.8; 5.4; 5.8; 6.1; 7.5; and 12 at fixed temperature of 30℃. This research method uses the weight loss method of aircraft metal components that are measured once every 1hour. The results of this study conclude that the corrosion rate of MD 80 type metal component in the fuselage section at a fixed temperature of 30℃ in a span of 12 hours showed less significant results. This might be due to the corrosion rate of metal components of airplanes running very slowly, so that in the span of 12 hours still not showing significant results.
