During this process, the PV produce energy losses in the form of heat energy. To improve the system's efficiency, this heat energy is converted into electrical energy using the thermoelectric generator (TEG). The PV and TEG have a nonlinear current-voltage characteristic and it requires a power converter with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) to properly extract the energy. There are several configurations of power converters available for the PV-TEG cogeneration system (PTCS). Nonetheless, the literature that compares the performance of the configurations is unavailable. This paper compares 4 configurations for the PTCS, which include the separate boost full MPPT (SBFM), separate boost partial MPPT, series source boost MPPT, and PV boost MPPT with series TEG. The boost converter with perturb and observe MPPT method is used for all configurations to ensure a fair comparison. The results show that SBFM can efficiently extract the energy from both PV and TEG up to 98.5%. The other configurations can efficiently extract energy from the PV (more than 98.5%). However, the energy extracts from the TEG have a low efficiency down to 87%. Overall, the configuration chosen for the PTCS affects the efficiency of the system.","PeriodicalId":47541,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Teknologi-Sciences & Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42700214","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 NRFO was stored in dark bottles at 60 °C, 75 °C and 90 °C for ± 15 days to evaluate the quality. The results showed that the quality of NRFO decreased along with the increase in temperature and storage time. This was indicated by increasing moisture content, Free Fatty Acid (FFA), peroxide number, as well as decreasing of the total carotenoids and total tocopherols. The FFA content and peroxide number of NRFO increase followed the kinetics zeroth order model, with activation energy (Ea) of 6372 cal/moloK and 9954 cal/moloK, respectively. Meanwhile, the decrease in carotenoid and tocopherol content followed the kinetics first order model, with Ea 9581 cal/moloK and 14242 cal/moloK, respectively. Estimation of shelf life of NRFO was based on peroxide number equation. The shelf life of NRFO is 398.5 days or 13.3 months if it is stored at 20 °; and the shelf life is 277.6 days or 9.3 months if it is stored 30 °C. \u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000 ","PeriodicalId":47541,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Teknologi-Sciences & Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42884804","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, no scientific studies have been performed to investigate its toxicological effect. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate its safety profile using sub-acute toxicity (14 days repeated doses) in rat model. The sub-acute toxicity study was evaluated by daily administration of different doses (250, 600 and 2000 mg/kg) of diabecine reconstitute for 14 days. Clinical signs, body weight changes, food and water intake, white blood count and relative organ weight were recorded. While the liver and kidney were removed for histological analysis. The result indicated that administration of diabecine reconstitute did not show significant differences in food consumption, water intake and white blood count (p>0.05) as compared to the control. However, there is significant difference observed in body weight and relative organ weight (p<0.05). Diabecine reconstitute at 600 and 2000 mg/kg proved to be toxic to kidney and liver in histopathology studies. However, the diabecine reconstitute at concentration of 250 mg/kg is safe to be used and showed no toxicity effect. Therefore, diabecine reconstitute at dose of 250 mg/kg was found to be toxicologically safe and it may be a good potential polyherbal formula to be incorporated in the diabetes mellitus treatment.","PeriodicalId":47541,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Teknologi-Sciences & Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42800246","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}

Welding Residual Stress (WRS) and cracks developed during welding, reduce the quality of welds. Aerospace structures are normally fabricated using thin metal sheets to reduce mass and are always susceptible to buckling. Many researchers have published WRS numerical models and experimental validations, but the impact of WRS on the buckling of thin low carbon steel plates is yet to be studied. The main objective of this study is to analyse the influence of external compressive load and tendon force generated by welding residual stress on buckling strength of the TIG welded low-carbon steel plates. Linear buckling of welded plates under the combined effect of external compressive load and WRS generated due to various weld lengths were numerically modelled and its critical buckling loads are computed. The numerical simulation findings show that the critical buckling strength decreases by 80% when the weld length to plate width ratio (w/wl) is equal to unity and it reduces to minimum when the w/wl ratio is 0.5. After w/wl ratio is 0.5, buckling strength increases and this behavior is caused by the stress field interaction that arises from both the applied axial compressive load and the WRS on the plate.\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":47541,"journal":{"name":"Jurnal Teknologi-Sciences & Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49331001","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}

One such limitation is the inability to print components larger than the printer's size due to the limited size of the build chamber. 4D additive manufacturing or 4D printing is an innovative development based on 3D printing that allows objects to be reshaped after printing, using stimuli-responsive materials that require external stimuli. This article present a review on 4D printing. Four databases, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, IEEE Xplore, and Scopus database, were systematically searched for relevant review articles to identify and classify research studies. Specific keywords (4D printing, additive manufacturing, smart materials, stimuli, and application) were identified and used to guide the discovery of relevant studies. A total of 28 full articles were reviewed to study the applications of 4D printing, smart materials for 4D printing, as well as the effect of various stimuli on 4D printed objects.

The object of the research is a 1,500 GT ro-ro ferry. The AoE minimizes wave resistance and improves flow patterns, while the ducktail reduces the negative effects of the circulation zone on the wetted transom so that waves and wake are reduced.
