However, RENSTRA cannot be implemented due to a lack of data and information related to improved fishing technology. As a result, there is no appropriate implementation strategy or community empowerment action program. This study aims to provide recommendations for improving fishing technology. The research was conducted at fishing centers located in Pambang Pesisir Village and Selat Baru Village. In-depth interviews with fishing communities in both villages provided the necessary data and information. A descriptive analysis was conducted by comparing the current level of technology with more advanced technology. The study findings show that the technology of longline and gillnet fishing is relatively simple (low). Therefore, it is recommended that DKP of Bengkalis Regency improve the quality of fishing technology by increasing vessel size, using marine engines, laminating fiberglass, applying multi-gears, and encouraging day and night fishing.","PeriodicalId":507832,"journal":{"name":"Engineering and Technology Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139207354","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}

This study involved development of an optimized design for a solar dehydrator using computational techniques. A computer-aided design of six (6) different configurations of the dehydrator was developed, and a remotely-installed heat capture device was modelled and analysed using MATLAB. The results show that the Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC) could be used in effectively transferring heat remotely to a dehydrator. The temperature of air leaving the heat exchanger increases in proportion to the increase in the temperature of the heating fluid entering the heat exchanger. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in Ansys Fluent was employed to aid in the study of airflow and temperature distribution. The hot air was simulated at 2 m/s and 350 K inlet conditions. The CFD simulation results showed significant variations in the air velocity distribution and temperature for different configurations of the dehydrator. The back inflow - front outflow configuration provided the most uniform distribution of heated air in the drying chamber, with minimal variation on each tray. This uniformity was also observed in the distribution of static temperature. The back inflow – side outflow configuration showed a similar performance in flow and temperature distribution. However, the bottom inflow – top outflow and bottom inflow – front outflow configurations showed uneven velocity and temperature distribution inside the drying chamber. Supply of airflow across the trays horizontally provides best airflow and temperature distribution in solar dehydrators and thus highly recommended.","PeriodicalId":507832,"journal":{"name":"Engineering and Technology Journal","volume":"49 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139206730","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}

This pavement layer uses fine aggregate materials (sand), palm kernel ash, and cement as its binding materials. The palm kernel ash is the main solid waste product from boiler combustion and can be utilized as a sand composition reducer in concrete production due to its chemical properties, which are nearly similar to cement. This research aims to determine the characteristics of the base mixture by utilizing palm kernel ash when combined in the Cement Treated Base Class B mixture for flexible pavement. With the specified composition, it is expected that when compression strength testing is conducted, the obtained compression strength values will meet the specified specifications. After testing, it was found that the Cempaka sand type is more effective and economical to use because its compression strength value almost meets the specified range of 35 kg/cm2 to 45 kg/cm2, which means it falls within the standard compression strength specification.","PeriodicalId":507832,"journal":{"name":"Engineering and Technology Journal","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139200246","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 study focuses on assessing the impact resistance, dynamic modulus of elasticity, rigidity, and Poisson's ratio. The influence of micro steel fibers (MS) at different volume fractions (1%, 1.25%, and 1.5%) and different anti-washout admixture (AWA) dosages (0.5 %, 0.7%, and 0.9%) are examined. The findings indicate that increasing the MS content improves crack resistance and energy absorption, resulting in a substantial 155.6% enhancement in the first crack resistance when using 1.5% MS. Additionally, ultimate resistance improves by 158%. Furthermore, there are significant increases in the dynamic and modulus of rigidity as the MS percentage rises. The impact of AWA is rather limited, with a reduction in the dynamic modulus of 18.3% for 0.7% AWA and 30% for 0.9% AWA. Likewise, the modulus of rigidity decreases by 13% for 0.7% AWA and 23.9% for 0.9% AWA. Moreover, strong positive correlations between non-destructive testing (NDT) and ASTM C 215 equations are observed. This investigation addresses a significant knowledge gap, shedding light on optimizing underwater structures' performance by comprehending their dynamic response under varied MS and AWA ratios.","PeriodicalId":507832,"journal":{"name":"Engineering and Technology Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139214388","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}

Numerical calculations are applied to 37mm anti-aircraft guns. Research results show that: The speed of rotation around the axis of the rotating part when firing has a significant effect on all types of artillery, especially on long-barreled artillery; While the shot temperature significantly affects the departure angle of the warhead when firing in series. This influence causes errors in the firing. The departure angle becomes larger as the rotation speed becomes faster; The departure angle of the bullet when firing the 5th, 10th, and 15th bullets is 0.0117, 0.015, 0.0175, 0.0185, 0.0199, and 0.0206 rad, respectively, when taking into account the shot temperature.
