"Hasil beberapa penelitian menunjukan bahwa nanofluida memiliki karakteristik termal yang lebih baik dibandingkan dengan fluida konvensional (air). Berkaitan dengan hal tersebut, saat ini sedang berkembang pemikiran untuk menggunakan nanofluida sebagai fluida perpindahan panas alternatif pada sistem pedingin reaktor. Sementara itu, konveksi alamiah di dalam pipa anulus vertikal merupakan salah satu mekanisme perpindahan panas yang penting dan banyak ditemukan pada reaktor riset TRIGA, reaktor daya generasi baru dan alat konversi energi lainnya. Namun disisi lain karakteristik perpindahan panas nanofluida di dalam pipa anulus vertikal belum banyak diketahui. Oleh karena itu penting dilakukan secara berkesinambungan penelitian-penelitian untuk menganalisis perpindahan panas nanofluida di dalam pipa anulus vertikal.

"Polilaktida telah banyak digunakan dalam aplikasi implan fiksasi internal dikarenakan sifatnya yang kompatibel secara biologis dan mampu terdegradasi di dalam tubuh tanpa menghasilkan efek samping. Terdapat dalam dua bentuk stereoreguler, pada penelitian ini digunakan poli(L-laktida) (PLLA) dan poli(D,L-laktida) (PDLLA) untuk mengatur derajat kristalinitas material. Penambahan polietilena glikol (PEG) 400 sebagai plasticizer dilakukan untuk menurunkan kekuatan termal dan mekanik, agar dihasilkan material yang dapat membentuk kontur tulang dengan mudah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh penambahan PEG sebanyak 0%, 4%, 8%, dan 12% ke dalam campuran PLLA/PDLLA dengan perbandingan 70:30. Sintesis spesimen dilakukan dengan solution blending menggunakan pelarut diklorometana (DCM). Pengujian DSC memberikan hasil berupa penurunan Tm dan ΔHm seiring dengan penambahan PEG. Di sisi lain, indeks kristalinitas pada XRD mengalami peningkatan dengan bertambahnya konsentrasi PEG hingga titik optimum 8%. Hal ini mengindikasikan PEG memplastisasi rantai PLA dengan teori lubrikasi, sehingga saat solidifikasi rantai PLA akan cenderung mengalami fenomena lipatan akibat menurunnya friksi antarrantai. Analisis lebih lanjut dilakukan dengan pengujian degradasi dalam media PBS, di mana semakin besar konsentrasi PEG, pengurangan massa terjadi lebih cepat. FTIR menunjukkan proses degradasi didahului dengan pelarutan PEG, sehingga menyisakan ruang kosong dalam matriks PLA dan meningkatkan ketidakteraturan konformasi rantai PLA. Semakin lama waktu degradasi, puncak α-kristalin pada FTIR mengalami penurunan frekuensi, mengindikasikan PLA terdegradasi pada fasa amorf terlebih dahulu. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa PEG memplastisasi rantai PLLA/PDLLA dengan teori lubrikasi, sehingga friksi antarrantai PLA akan menurun dan meningkatkan mobilitas rantainya. Hal ini menurunkan ketahanan termal, kekuatan mekanik, dan ketahanan degradasi, namun meningkatkan kristalinitasnya akibat rantai PLA yang terlumas.

Polylactide has been extensively used as internal fixation implant owing to its biocompatibility and degradability in vivo without significant side effect. Exists in two stereoregular configuration, this study used poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(D,L-lactide) (PDLLA) to monitor the crystallinity degree of the material. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400 was added into the blend to function as plasticizer, which subsequently reduced the thermal and mechanical properties. The objective of this study is to analyze the addition of 0%, 4%, 8%, and 12% PEG into PLLA/PDLLA blend with 70:30 ratio. The specimens were synthesized using solution blending method with dichloromethane (DCM) as the solvent. DSC thermogram showed decreases in Tm and ΔHm with increasing PEG content. However, XRD exhibited an increasing in crystallinity index as PEG concentration was escalated, with an optimum concentration of 8%. This indicates that PEG plasticized PLA chain with lubrication theory, where it would go through folding phenomena under solidification process because the intermolecular friction was reduced. Further analysis was carried out with degradation in PBS media, where higher PEG concentration yielded higher mass loss. FTIR showed that degradation process firstly occurred with PEG dissolution in PBS, leaving higher free volume in PLA matrix and increasing conformational irregularity of PLA chain. Increasing degradation time showed lower frequency of α-crystalline peak in FTIR, indicating PLA firstly degraded in the amorphous phase. This study showed that PEG plasticized PLA with lubrication theory, where it would reduce the intermolecular friction and increase chain mobility. This mechanism reduced thermal, mechanical, and degradation resistance, but increase the crystallinity index due to lubricated PLA chains."

Increased energy consumption in buildings is a worldwide issue. This research is concerned with the implementation of a phase change material for thermal storage. This concept has gained great attention as a solution to reduce energy consumption in buildings. Beeswax, which is a phase change material with a high thermal capacity, is investigated in this research. This paper is intended to measure and analyze the thermal properties of beeswax graphene as a phase change material. The melting temperature, thermal capacity and latent heat were determined using differential scanning calorimetry DSC , and the thermal conductivity was investigated using a thermal conductivity measurement apparatus. To discover the change in the physical properties due to the effect of nanoparticles, the viscosity of the material was investigated as well. Based on the result from the DSC, the latent heat of 0.3 wt beeswax graphene increased by 22.5 . The thermal conductivity of 0.3 wt beeswax graphene was 2.8 W m.K. The existence of graphene nanoplatelets enhanced both the latent heat and thermal conductivity of the beeswax. Therefore, based on this result, beeswax graphene is concluded to have the potential to reduce energy consumption in buildings."

Penggunaan LCS yang tepat meningkatkan efisiensi sistem secara keseluruhan.  Prediksi jumlah cairan dilakukan berdasarkan difusivitas termal bahan baku dengan menggunakan metode matrik, komposisi cairan yang dihasilkan diuji menggunakan GC/MS.  Temperatur optimum reaksi biomassa adalah 500 °C dan terjadi proses eksotermik pada bahan baku di dalam reaktor karena terjadinya self-ignition. Temperatur yang lebih tinggi cenderung menghasilkan produk gas sedangkan temperatur  yang lebih rendah menghasilkan lebih banyak zat arang.  Laju pemanasan tidak berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap produk cair.  Temperatur uap pada zona reaksi mempengaruhi proses pirolisis dengan menggunakan Fixed-bed reactor non-sweeping gas. Temperatur optimum pada zona reaksi antara 150 °C sampai dengan 250 °C tergantung dari jenis bahan baku. Temperatur uap yang terlalu tinggi akan menghasilkan lebih banyak gas dan cairan dengan titik didih yang lebih tinggi, cairan ini mempunyai nilai bakar yang relatif lebih tinggi juga. Difusivitas termal  bahan baku yang lebih tinggi akan mengakibatkan penurunan laju pemanasan. Bahan baku dengan kondisi laju pemanasan yang rendah cenderung menghasilkan produk cair yang lebih tinggi. Bahan baku dengan tingkat gradien TGA rendah akan menghasilkan cairan yang lebih sedikit. Pipa kalor sebagai kondenser pada liquid collection system mampu menurunkan temperatur uap hingga mendekati temperatur ruangan dengan jumlah produk cair maksimum 42,5 wt% dengan bahan baku kayu merbau. Jumlah produk cair pada proses pirolisis dapat diprediksi dengan menggunakan variabel difusivitas termal bahan baku, laju pemanasan dan temperatur uap pada zona reaksi.

Liquid smokes is a product originated from the pyrolysis process using biomass as a raw material. This product can be applied as fuel oil, preservation as the chemical base material. The liquid product from the pyrolysis process influenced by many operation parameters and feedstock materials. The optimum operation parameter and easy to apply as a base consider obtaining the maximum liquid yield.   The operational parameter such as optimum reaction temperature, heating rate, vapor temperature in the reaction zone, heat absorption in the liquid collection system and the variety of raw material as the main concern in this research. Raw material identified by its thermal characterization. This research aims to obtain optimum process and heat transfer phenomena by using a non-sweep gas fixed bed reactor with local Indonesian biomass in pyrolysis. The thermal characterization base on thermal diffusivity of raw material. The variation of the reaction temperature in the reactor and vapor temperature at the reaction zone was conducted to obtain an optimum temperature base on the type of feedstock and liquid collection system.  The use of proper LCS affects the amount of liquid yield.   The liquid yield prediction base on thermal diffusivity of biomass. The composition of liquid was analyzed using GC/MS. The optimum reaction temperature for biomass was 500 °C. The higher temperature tends to produce more gases, and the lower temperature will produce more char. The heating rate does not affect the liquid yield significantly, and vapor temperature at the reaction zone affect the liquid yield in pyrolysis using a non-sweeping gas Fixed-bed reactor. The optimum temperature at reaction zone between 150 °C - 250°C depends on the raw material. The higher vapor temperature at the reaction zone produce more gases and the liquid with the higher boiling point and has higher heating value. The higher thermal diffusivity of raw material decreases the heating rate.  The lower heating rate of raw material tends to increase liquid yield. The lowest TGA gradient tends to produce less liquid. Heat pipe was applied as a liquid collection system and able to condense pyrolysis vapor up to 42.5 wt%. The liquid yield can be predicted using thermal diffusivity of raw material, heating rate, and vapor temperature at the reaction zone.
