Produksi padi di Nusa Tenggara Barat periode Januari-September 2018 sebesar 1,31 juta ton Gabah. Gabah perlu segera dikeringkan mencapai kadar air 13-14% agar gabah dapat disimpan lebih lama dan beras bermutu. Untuk mempertahankan mutu dan nilai produk pertanian digunakan metode pengeringan buatan. Alat pengeringan buatan yaitu fluidized bed menggunakan fluida dipilih karena mutu produk yan…
Pengeringan adalah pemisahan sejumlah zat cair dari bahan sehingga mengurangi kandungan air di dalam zat padat itu sampai suatu nilai yang dikehendaki. Pengeringan terfluidisasi adalah proses pengeringan yang memanfaatkan aliran udara panas dengan kecepatan tertentu yang dilewatkan menembus hamparan bahan sehingga hamparan bahan tersebut memiliki sifat seperti fluida. Pada penelitian tugas …
Fossil fuel resources are progressively reduced and therefore the required renewable fuels such as biomass. Biomass consists of organic waste materials such as waste horse feces that can be processed into briquettes either in the form of biomass briquettes or briquettes biocarbon by way charred. At the briquettes are still developing to look for a good calorific value.The purpose of the researc…
A rotating shaft is in fact not in a straight state, but rotates in a curved position due to its own weight or the result of a given load. At a certain rotation the shaft reaches the maximum value. The rotation that the shaft to reach the maximum value is called the critical rotation Whirling Shaft. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference of deflection and critical rotation th…
he performance of a dialyzer in a hemodialysis device is strongly influenced by permeable membrane pores. Research on the influence of pores on mass transfer is relatively limited. In this case the study was conducted to vary the influence of pore diameter with sizes of 0.4 μm and 3 μm. Tests were carried out to determine the mass transfer, shear stress, Reynold number, pressure drop, and…
The performance of a dialyzer in a hemodialysis device is strongly influenced by permeable membrane pores. Research on the influence of membrane pores on relative mass transfer is still limited. For this reason, a simulation was conducted to vary the influence of membrane pore diameter with sizes of 0.4 μm, 1 μm and 3 μm and varying inlet pressures of 80 mmHg, 100 mmHg, and 120 mmHg. T…
Biomass furnace is a medium commonly used to establish burning reactions, then the heat produced is utilized for cooking purposes. The design of biomass furnace used by the community is still very simple so that the combustion efficiency is still low, which is only ranging from 5 to 10%. The design of the furnace in this research is to modify the primary air inlet and the altitude variation of…
Handling post grain harvest before being ground or stored for a long time is drying or reducing water content. It is intended that rice or grain that still has a high water content is not damaged due to microorganisms and other biological activities. According to the Indonesian National Standard Agency, harvested grain needs to be immediately crushed until it reaches a maximum moisture content …
Hasil pertanian yang sering mengalami kerusakan pasca panen adalah biji-bijian, salah satunya adalah jagung. Berdasarkan standar SNI 014483-1998 persyaratan mutu yang harus dipenuhi oleh jagung adalah memiliki kadar air sebesar 14%. Untuk mempertahankan mutu dan nilai produk pertanian maka digunanakan metode pengeringan. Pengeringan buatan merupakan alternatif pengeringan yang dapat dilakukan t…
