The concept of accident tolerant fuels (ATF) offers a variety of new safer fuel-cladding materials, one of which is U3Si2-FeCrAl, a potential fuel-cladding combination according to various research sources. In this research, a study of neutronic parameters (1) cycle length, (2) reactivity feedback coefficient, and (3) reactor proliferation resistance was performed with ATF material U3Si2-FeCrAl as fuel-cladding in the KLT-40S reactor core. Modeling and simulation of the ATF-fueled KLT-40S reactor core were performed using KENO-VI and TRITON modules from SCALE code. The results showed that replacement of the fuel-cladding material with the ATF material in the KLT-40S reactor resulted in a shorter cycle length, and the enrichment required to reproduce the original cycle length was above the safeguard limit. The fuel temperature, moderator temperature, and void reactivity coefficient were negative, although not as negative as the original ones. The spent fuel produced at the end of the cycle had good proliferation resistance, although not as good as the original one.","PeriodicalId":15689,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering and Technological Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41324868","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}

In this paper, the variations in seismic hazard and detailing requirements from bridge code era before 1990 to the present was provided. To examine the bridge performance, pushover analysis was carried out based on the latest bridge code SNI 2833:2016/Seismic Map 2017. From the analysis results, the performance of older bridges would typically be less than more recently designed structures. The performance level of the bridge in the era before SNI 2833:2016/Seismic Map 2017 will be Operational-Life Safety (LS) whereas the performance level of the bridge designed with SNI 2833:2016 will be Elastic – Operational. Referring to NCHRP 949 for bridge performance level evaluation, results show that the performance level of the bridge still satisfies the requirement, which is Life Safety under upper-level earthquake. Therefore, the existing bridge shows adequate capacity under the current seismic load Seismic Map 2017 (7% probability of exceedance in 75 years (RP= 1000 years)). Evaluation of seismic vulnerability needs to be done to ensure the safety of the existing bridges in Indonesia, most of which are located in earthquake-prone areas, especially those that were designed with older version regulations.","PeriodicalId":15689,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering and Technological Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48124359","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 load was repeatedly applied to the sample until it was damaged and/or until failure. The test results revealed four stages in the fracturing process, starting with cratering of the upper surface of the sample, formation of initial fractures, fracture development along the sample, and finally sample failure. The test results also revealed that with an increase of impact load, the number of cycles until failure decreases. Furthermore, the value of uniaxial compressive strength and Young’s modulus decreases with increasing number of cyclic loads. The decrease is proportional to the increase of the damage value.","PeriodicalId":15689,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering and Technological Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44839990","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 experimental data is then verified by simulation to proof that it can be used to predict the SC penetration data. This paper intent to present a comparative study on the effect of shaped charge blast conducted by simulation with the actual experimental results. In order to conduct this study, a 2D AUTODYN software were used to develop the SC blast model against five (5) types of target materials.

Indonesia has high potential to produce salt because it has a lot of saltwater resources. When sea salt is harvested, seawater evaporates from a concentration of 3.5°Be to 29°Be. Evaporation can be affected by several factors, such as air temperature, wind speed, water vapor pressure, humidity, radiation, geographical location, time interval, and season. Many modifications have been made to increase the evaporation rate in salt production. One of them is the WAIV (Wind-Aided Intensified eVaporation) method. WAIV evaporation systems utilize sunlight and wind to accelerate the evaporation rate. The modeling in this study was adjusted to the environmental conditions in the case study for which it was necessary to determine new parameter values for the existing models. The Penman, Priestley-Taylor, and Harbeck models were used. The Harbeck model has been studied in previous studies, which were used as a reference in the present study. This study first determined and then validated the parameter values obtained.

Results provided by TEM images, EDX spectra, elemental mapping, and AAS confirmed the successful deposition of Pt on TNP. XRD patterns confirm an anatase and rutile crystallite structure, while UV-vis spectra show the reduction of bandgap from a typical value of 3.2 eV to ca. 2.9 eV. It is found that there is a correlation between the amount of Pt deposited on TNP and Pt dispersion with the H2 generation. The chemical reduction method offered a higher degree of Pt deposition, resulting in a 2.75 times larger amount of deposited Pt as compared to that resulted from photodeposition.

A gap analysis was conducted with Singapore, Malaysia, and Australia. The analysis generated four segregated main groups of elements with level-2 sub criteria. The main groups of elements were: Planning, Prevention, Handling, and Control and Evaluation. These criteria were validated and implemented in a case study of state-owned construction enterprises, here called PT. X and PT. Y, with large, qualified construction companies.
