Therefore, an early tsunami warning system is crucial for detecting potential tsunami waves. The early tsunami warning system encompasses several complex components, one of which is the Ocean Bottom Unit (OBU) floater. This paper discusses the performance of various types of floater arrays for tsunami early warning systems using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The study focuses on coefficients, especially the drag coefficient, and the influence of the number of float arrangements on the flow pattern around the buoy or Ocean Bottom Unit (OBU) array. Among the five numerical simulation models, the six-couple floater has the highest drag and lowest lift coefficients, while the single floater has the lowest drag coefficient. The percentage of difference in drag coefficient between single floater and couple series floater is quite significant, reaching up to 50%. The moment coefficient is also affected by the number of floaters, with a series of five couple floaters having the highest moment coefficient at a Reynolds (RE) number of 2 × 106. The advantage of using the CFD method is that it can visualize current velocity, which is crucial for understanding the flow pattern around the float system. The results indicate that the flow pattern becomes more complex as the number of floater arrays increases, which leads to more vortices between the floater, resulting in increased turbulence and drag coefficient.","PeriodicalId":356258,"journal":{"name":"Mekanika: Majalah Ilmiah Mekanika","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139322969","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}

Ineffective planning of ship repair projects results in a lack of time and labour efficiency. Therefore, using project acceleration tools in scheduling ship repair activities is crucial to accelerate project completion and mitigate risk analysis of delays for each project activity. This research uses the critical path method (CPM) to analyze the main schedule of three combined ship repair projects. Then, shop-level planning is used to determine the productivity of each workshop so that each workshop knows the volume of work that needs to be completed daily. Furthermore, fuzzy logic is applied to analyze the risk of delays in repair project activities. The addition of working hours to critical work activities is accelerated from 30 days, the normal duration, to 23 days. Meanwhile, the addition of the workforce to critical work activities is accelerated from 30 days, the normal duration, to 22 days. The analysis of productivity values in each workshop results in the following productivity values: sandblasting and painting workshop 309.97 m2/person-days, piping workshop 4.12 units/person-days, fabrication workshop 407.16 kg/person-days, outfitting workshop 14.8 units/person-days, tank cleaning workshop 114.36 m3/person-days, and machining workshop 2.7 units/person-days. The fuzzy logic analysis results to determine the risk of delays in critical activities show that jobs with the codes SP1, SP2, SP3, SP4, M2, and SP5 have a high risk of delay.

In an industrial environment, this flow has many weaknesses, including pressure drop and void fraction. One strategy to reduce losses that arise is to use passive methods. The passive method used is to utilize the shape of the grooves in the channel. In this study, the flow is used to determine its effect on the pressure drop and void fraction that appears in two-phase flow. The experimental method was used for this study. The test pipe is equipped with 16 grooves, while the smooth pipe (without grooves) is used as a comparison. The test pipe is made of acrylic material. The water fluid is circulated using a centrifugal water pump with a superficial speed of 0.33-0.42 m/s. Air fluid is supplied using a compressor with superficial speeds of 0.049, 0.066, and 0.082 m/s. Measurement of pressure drop was carried out using a pressure transmitter with an Arduino data logger. The void fraction is calculated by determining the ratio of the volume fraction of water and air in the test tube. The results of the study revealed that the use of 16 grooves in the pipe can reduce the pressure drop and cavity fraction that appears when compared to smooth pipes.","PeriodicalId":356258,"journal":{"name":"Mekanika: Majalah Ilmiah Mekanika","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139323298","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}

Therefore, this study was conducted to know the effect of extruder screw speed variations on the mechanical, physical, and thermal stability of ABS/MCC composites. The compositions used in producing ABS/MCC composites are 96% for ABS and 4% for MCC. The production process uses screw extruder speed variations of 10 rpm, 15 rpm, and 20 rpm. ABS/MCC composite in the barrel and hot press use 160 °C for the temperature process. The highest tensile strength was obtained at 10 rpm variation for 14.2 MPa.
