Currently, the material used in the outer support of the solar water heater is SS 304, the SS 304 material is considered too expensive, so the profits obtained by the manufacturing industry are very small. In addition, SS304 material from year to year is getting harder and harder to find. In this study, an analysis of the selection of alternative outer support materials for solar water heaters was carried out in order to obtain materials that can fulfill the outer support function at a relatively cheap price, do not reduce the outer support function and are easy to obtain or many on the market. The method used in this study uses the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and CES edupack software as the process of selecting materials. In this study, several tests of mechanical properties were carried out, namely tensile tests, hardness tests, and corrosion resistance tests to determine the mechanical properties of the material, and simulations of selected materials were carried out using Solidworks software, with the aim of knowing the maximum stress value and safety factor. The results obtained from this study obtained an alternative material, namely AISI 201 for the outer support.

Based on this background, this study aims to identify community adaptation to the tidal flood event based on community responses in the coastal area and identify efforts to mitigate the impact of tidal floods that have been carried out by the community and the government. The analytical methods used are descriptive quantitative and qualitative analysis methods, as well as cross-tabulation analysis related to community adaptation variables, which include community characteristics, the impact of tidal floods on the residential environment, identification of tidal flood conditions and efforts to mitigate the impact of tidal floods, carried out by the community and the government. The results showed that the people of the coastal area of Meulaboh were able to make efforts to deal with tidal floods in the form of repairing road networks, residential houses, drainage channels, places of worship (mosques), village offices, and clean water and sanitation systems. The government's efforts to deal with tidal floods are carried out by making barriers to protect the coast through tetrapod.

The demand for nanocellulose material from extracted cellulose fibers is increasing. In this study, nanocellulose synthesis was carried out in several stages namely hydrolysis (H2SO4 64% (v/v) at 45oC for 45 minutes), delignification (NaOH 17,5% (w/v) at 80oC for 30 minutes), and bleaching (H2O2 10% (v/v) at 60oC for 15 minutes). Then, nanocellulose was subjected to ultrasonication. It was proved that nanocellulose with 50.487 nm diameters resulted from ultrasonication 50% amplitude. Moreover, adding 5%-w PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) as capping agent obtained 36.635 nm average diameter of nanocellulose.

The main road to several locations in North Bandung is via the road in front of Terminal Dago. For this reason, the purpose of this study was to collect data on PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations at both locations, namely in front of Terminal Dago and Dago Dream Park. Data collection was carried out for seven days, from Monday to Sunday, from 08.00 to 16.00 local time. To evaluate air quality in these two places, the national standard, namely PPRI No. 22 of 2021 and international standards from WHO were applied. The measurement results show that the concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10 in these two locations are still within the national standard. Meanwhile, when evaluated with WHO standards, PM10 concentrations in both locations are still within standard, but for PM2.5, there are several days where the air quality is out of the standard. The average concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10 during the 7 days of measurement at Terminal Dago are 19.9 μg/m3 and 21.6 μg/m3, respectively. While the average concentration of PM2.5 and PM10 during 1 week of data collection were 18.9 μg/m3 and 19.9 μg/m3, respectively. This means that the concentration of PM2.5 and PM10 at Terminal Dago is slightly higher than that of at Dago Dream Park. In addition, based on an evaluation using national standards, Dago Dream Park tourist attractions still have good air quality and are safe for local residents and tourists.

The production of banana weevil bioethanol begins with the process of cutting the banana weevil which is then mashed with the help of water and then squeezed and starch is obtained and then hydrolyzed with the addition of glucoamylase and alpha-amylase enzymes for further anaerobic fermentation with the help of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with a concentration of 25%.

The hybrid system with batteries and energy storage double-layer capacitor is a new technology that is used under extreme climatic conditions, especially in daytime temperature up to 50°C, high relative humidity, dust and heavy rain. It is a combination of double-layer capacitors and traction batteries. It draws power both externally and from braking energy. In order to reduce CO2 emissions to the environment, energy-saving drives and energy storage are used. Also, in public transportation, Sitras Hybrid Energy System (HES), hybrid energy storage system for trams, has been developed which combines a double-layer capacitor with a nickel-metal hydride battery. The storage not only allows driving without overhead lines, it also enables braking energy to be recovered. A reliable cooling system is required to ensure that the performance of the battery and the capacitor storage is maintained for as long as possible. The results of finite element model showed the robustness for railway application. The computational model refers to proof of static and dynamic strength in accordance with EN12663.
