Meanwhile, the procurement of power plants are limited and experiences many obstacles. The aim of this testing study a hydroelectric power plant in a tourism area is to provide the electricity appropriate that location by utilizing the potential of natural resources. The undershot type water wheel is used as a driving force to drive the electric generator. The resources used come from the flow of irrigation canal which is usually used to irrigate rice fields and the others needs of farmer communities. Measurements of rotation speed, electrical voltage and power produced were carried out within seven days. It is estimated that the generator can produce 75 Watts. The electricity can be utilized for lighting the entrance of tourism areas, food stalls and a residence house. To increase power production found modifications to the irrigation canals need to be considered.","PeriodicalId":493838,"journal":{"name":"Proksima","volume":"290 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135979059","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 braking system functions to reduce or slow down the speed and stop the vehicle, as well as to enable the possibility of parking the vehicle on a downward slope. The braking system under investigation is examined in the prototype vehicle called Gardapati, which employs a hydraulic brake system. Gardapati is a vehicle created by students from the University of Riau's Mechanical Engineering Department, affiliated with the UKM Selembayung, following the standard references provided by the Energy-Efficient Vehicle Competition organized by BPTI.
 This final project will involve several calculations related to the braking system, following the specifications used in the Gardapati vehicle. First, calculations will determine the dynamic braking force required (Fb) when the vehicle is moving at a speed of 50 km/h with a distance of 20 meters, as well as the static braking force (Fb) required when the vehicle is on an incline of 11.2 degrees, adjusted to the requirements and regulations of the 2023 Energy-Efficient Vehicle Competition (KMHE). Then, the braking distance will be calculated for speeds of 30, 40, and 50 km/h on dry and wet asphalt road conditions.
 From the calculation results and data analysis, it is found that the required dynamic braking force (Fb) is 510,76 N, and the static braking force (Fb) is 830,31 N. Meanwhile, the minimum braking distance is observed on dry asphalt road conditions at a speed of 30 km/h with a percentage error of 1,59 %, where the theoretical value is 5.67 m and the actual value is 5,76 m. On the other hand, the highest braking distance is observed on wet asphalt road conditions at a speed of 50 km/h with a percentage error of 7,39%, where the theoretical value is 14.47 m and the actual value is 15.54 m. Of the two road conditions, the largest percentage error occurs when testing the vehicle at speeds of 30, 40, and 50 km/h on wet asphalt conditions, amounting to 4,61%. With this level of percentage error, it can be concluded that the variation in the obtained data is relatively small, which is less than 10%.","PeriodicalId":493838,"journal":{"name":"Proksima","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135979056","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}

Housing is part of a very important component of mobile phone. Mobile phone housing refers to the outer housing of the device that encompasses its internal components. Mobile phone housing materials have been widely developed, such as polyester, polyurethane, carbon fiber, wood and leather. This paper proposes to conduct tensile tests and fabrication of mobile phone housing to determine the mechanical characteristics of coconut fiber composites as an alternative material for mobile phone product. Finite element simulation of drop test is then conducted to determine the impact robustness of a product. The investigation of tensile characteristics was carried out using variations in fiber direction. Vacuum assisted resin infusion is used as a method for manufacturing mobile phone housing product. Finite element simulation of mobile phone housing with various drop test positions was also conducted and the impact behaviour of coconut fiber composite housing materials was also obtained. It was shown that coconut fiber can be used as an alternative material for mobile phone housing. The design of the mobile phone housing also needs to be considered at the corner position of the housing because this is the location where the maximum impact stress occurs.","PeriodicalId":493838,"journal":{"name":"Proksima","volume":"160 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135979057","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}

Pressure drop can offer insights for selecting pipe materials, designing an efficient piping system, and choosing the appropriate elbows and fittings. Utilizing numerical simulations, the pressure drop in straight pipes, 45o bends, 90o bends, and 180o bends is examined. Velocity profiles for straight pipes and bends are compared, revealing the increase in pressure drop caused by the bend in comparison to the straight pipe. The numerical simulation results indicate that the bend results in an increased pressure drop in the pipe's flow.","PeriodicalId":493838,"journal":{"name":"Proksima","volume":"153 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135979062","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}
