Electromagnetic modeling techniques, such as Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) resistivity or lithological conductivity contrast, can be utilized to detect changes in the subsurface. In this study, we investigated the use of TDEM in flood hazard mitigation schemes by developing a 1-D forward modeling program for the central loop configuration in an aquatic environment using the Adaptive Born Forward Mapping (ABFM) method. The program was tested in various environmental conditions, i.e., freshwater, brackish water, and saltwater, to determine its response. The objective is to prevent natural disasters, particularly flooding caused by sedimentation. The TDEM models can generate images of sediment thickness, providing a sensitive response in saltwater environments and enabling the detection of changes in depth compared to other aquatic environments. Overall, this study demonstrated the potential of TDEM as a valuable tool in flood hazard mitigation schemes.","PeriodicalId":15689,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering and Technological Sciences","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135991004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The problem occurred not only because of the overcapacity of the cooling water flow proposed by the new CFPP but also because of the small size of the culvert located in the discharge channel. This paper discusses several methods to overcome this problem by enlarging the culvert area or by removing the culvert from the channel and replacing it with a bridge. A hydraulic study was investigated using the HEC-RAS software by utilizing inputs obtained from the existing channel geometry and flow measurement data. It was found that additional culverts on both sides with a size of 2 m x 4 m and 3 m x 1 m could reduce the water level by 1.12 m and 0.39 m, respectively. Meanwhile, removing the culvert provided a significant water level reduction of 1.39 m. Enlarging the culvert was chosen as the solution to the discharge channel capacity issue since removing the culvert would require temporarily closing the channel during construction and stopping the operation of the existing power plant.","PeriodicalId":15689,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering and Technological Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41980838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A supercapacitor is generally composed of electrodes, electrolytes, and a separator. The separator is one of the most important components, serving to prevent internal short circuits between the anode and the cathode. Herein, a nanostructured-based separator in a PAN/PVDF nanofiber scheme is introduced for improving the electrochemical performance of the supercapacitor. Briefly, the membranes were produced via the electrospinning technique. All of the raw materials were blended in various compositions of PVDF for optimization purposes. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were carried out to identify the microstructure of the nanofibers. The electrochemical properties of the membrane were measured using galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD). Based on GCD, it was shown that the PAN/PVDF 20 wt% membrane exhibited the optimum gravimetric capacitance at 54.104 Fg-1 as evidenced by a high porosity percentage. Thus, the PAN/PVDF nanofiber has good potential as a separator for application in supercapacitors.","PeriodicalId":15689,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering and Technological Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48979472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, transporting long rails using a freight train requires multiple wagons for each rail section, presenting potential safety and loading gauge issues, especially when going through curves. Thus, a safety assessment needs to be done prior to actual transport. Computational simulation can be used for preliminary assessment. Finite element analysis can be used to incorporate the flexibility of the rails into the analysis but requires significant manpower and computer power to perform. In this study, an alternative method to model rail flexibility using a multibody approach is presented. The rails are sectioned into multiple rigid bodies along their length and interconnected using rotational joints. The stiffness coefficient of the joints is defined as a function of the actual rail’s physical properties. This modelling technique results in a simplified multibody model that retains the original rail elastic properties. Simulations of the constructed rail model hauled using a freight train were done and the results were compared to on-track test measurements of the same configuration. The comparison generally showed good agreement, showing this modelling technique’s ability and accuracy to simulate the case.","PeriodicalId":15689,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering and Technological Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42648960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The constituent soil condition affects the leachate distribution into the ground. One of the landfill constituents of the soil at the site of the Batu Layang landfill is peat soil, in which organic content (>75%), porosity, and permeability are high. Leachate that seeps below the earth’s surface can cause soil and groundwater contamination. Meanwhile, people around landfills use groundwater for their daily needs and use the land around the landfill to grow papaya, banana, sugarcane, and taro. Therefore it is necessary to prevent and minimize leachate spread. One of the efforts that can be done is to model the leachate distribution. In this study, leachate distribution modeling was done with a geoelectric method, the Wenner configuration, with a smallest electrode distance of 5 m. There were six tracks, with a length of 195 m each. The model obtained from this study was a 3D resistivity section. 3D data processing was done using the inverse distance method. The results showed that a resistivity value ≤10 Ωm identified the soil layer contaminated with leachate. The contaminated soil layers were estimated to be peat, clay, and loamy sand. The leachate distribution is suspected of seeping up to 195 m south of the landfill. The leachate distribution into the soil was estimated from the surface to 33.8 m.","PeriodicalId":15689,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering and Technological Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47156909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Taguchi method was used for data processing to determine the influence of variations in Sn addition, temperature, and holding time on density. The calculation of the percentage contribution showed that variations in Sn addition, temperature, and holding time affected density by 47%, 21%, and 3%.
