Evaluation of Introductory Environmental Chemistry Course for Prospective Chemistry Teachers Using Context, Input and Process Models

This study aims to evaluate the learning programme of the Introduction to Environmental Chemistry course of the Chemistry Education study programme in one of the public universities in Bandung City. This study needs to be evaluated and improved because there are still aspects that are not in accordance with 21st century learning as evidenced by document analysis and learning observations.  The method used is a qualitative approach and the CIPP (Context, input, process, Product) evaluation model as a tool to evaluate and improve the lecture programme which focuses on the Context aspect in the form of document analysis of the Semester Learning Plan (SLP), the Input aspect in the form of lecturer interviews and the Process aspect in the form of learning observations. The results obtained from the analysis show that there are several findings that need to be evaluated due to the incompatibility of aspects in the SLP document update such as administrative completeness, the General Skills Aspect (GSA) 1 listed is not in accordance with the Context of Learning Outcomes (CLOs), based on interviews with teaching lecturers it is stated that problem-based learning (PBL) with the context of validated environmental issues in relevant theoretical content and in the aspect of the learning observation process it was found that there were aspects of learning practices that were not in accordance with the SLP document reference. The evaluation also highlighted the importance of updating and adjusting learning media to be more interactive and relevant to the context of environmental issues. The assessment of the last three years shows the potential to further develop programmes can to improve students' higher order thinking skill

Noticeable Reverse Shift in the Melting Temperatures of Benzene and Carbon Tetrachloride Confined within the Micropores and Mesopores of Hydrophobic Carbons

Carbon aerogels contain both mesopores and micropores. In this study, benzene/CCl4 was adsorbed in the pores of carbon aerogels (both mesopores and micropores) and their phase behaviours were examined using differential scanning calorimetry. The bulk solid benzene melted at 278 K and the melting temperatures of benzene confined inside the mesopores and micropores of carbon aerogels were 258 and 293 K, respectively. Although the melting temperature depression of condensates in mesopores is well known, the observed elevation of the melting temperature for micropores is very limited in the strongly interacted system. Similar melting behaviours were observed for the confined CCl4; depression by 45 K in mesopores and elevation by 48 K in micropores showed about two times the change as compared with that of confined benzene.ArticleADSORPTION SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY. 31(2-3):145-151 (2013)journal articl

Electronically modified single wall carbon nanohorns with iodine adsorption

Tailoring electronic properties of single wall carbon nanohorn (SWCNH) is expected to develop the application potential in various fields. SWCNH is efficiently modified with iodine molecules by liquid phase adsorption. The adsorption isotherm of iodine on SWCNH was Langmuirian with the saturated adsorption amount of 185 +/- 10 mg g (1) (coverage 0.18), indicating a specific interaction between SWCNH and iodine. The DC electrical conductivity of SWCNH film prepared by dip-coating method increased with the iodine adsorption amount almost by a factor 10.ArticleCHEMICAL PHYSICS LETTERS. 501(4-6):485-490 (2011)journal articl

The effect of oxygenated turpentine oil additive in diesel fuel on the performance and emission characteristics in one-cylinder di engines

A study on the application of oxygenated turpentine oil as a bio-additive in diesel fuel was conducted. The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of oxygenated turpentine oil additive in diesel fuel on the performance and emission characteristics in diesel engines. Oxygenated turpentine oil is obtained from the oxidation process of turpentine oil. In this experimental study, the influences of oxygenated turpentine oil-diesel blended fuel OT0.2 (0.2% vol oxygenated turpentine oil and 99.8% vol diesel) were compared with pure diesel on engine performance, and emission characteristics were examined in a one-cylinder four-stroke CI engine. The test was performed at two engine loads (25% and 50%) and seven engine speeds (from 1200–2400 rpm with intervals of 200 rpm). The physiochemical characteristics of test fuels were acquired. The engine indicated power, indicated torque, fuel flow rate, and emissions (carbon dioxide, CO2; carbon monoxide, CO; and nitrogen oxide, NOX ) were examined. The results revealed that the engine power shows slight increments of 0.7–1.1%, whereas the engine torque slightly decreased with oxygenated turpentine usage compared to pure diesel in most conditions. Furthermore, a reduction in NOX emission decreased by about 0.3–66% with the addition of oxygenated turpentine in diesel compared to diesel. However, usage of OT0.2 decreased fuel flow rate in most speeds at low load but gave a similar value to diesel at 50% load. CO emissions slightly increased with an average of 1.2% compared to diesel while CO2 emissions increased up to 37.5% than diesel. The high-water content, low cetane number, and low heating value of oxygenated turpentine oil were the reasons for the inverse effect found in the engine performances

Investigation of the effect of flow rate on fluid heat transfer in counter-flow helical heat exchanger using CFD method

Heat exchangers are generally used in the process of heat transfer between two different fluids separated from each other by a solid wall in order to save time and reduce expenses. Fluids behavior change by adding a wire-insert in its path. To investigate heat transfer parameters, we need to simulate the whole system. In this study, heat transfer of counter-flow helical double pipe heat exchanger was modelled by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in "Ansys CFX". The cold and hot fluids temperature were in the ranges of 10-20C° and 30-50C° respectively. The Reynolds number of flows were in the range of 4×103 to 42×103 and the process was singlephase. The model was eventually evaluated by experimental data after simulation. The results indicated that the model was able to interpret the experimental results with correlation coefficients of 0.98 and 0.97 for hot and cold streams respectively. Furthermore, the wire-insert installed to the cold flow path caused more fluid turbulence and increased the temperature difference of the cold fluid inlet and outlet proportional to the hot fluid

A Comprehensive Investigation of Low Proportion TiO2-POE Nanolubricant Stability for Residential Air Conditioning System Application

The paper aims to expound on the comprehensive experimental investigation of the stability of TiO2-Polyolester (POE) nanolubricant. A magnetic stirrer was used to disperse TiO2 nanopowder into POE lubricant for 30 min. The six samples were then subjected to various ultrasonication treatments lasting 40-, 60-, 80-, 100-, and 120-min. Stability analysis was performed in three stages: visual observation, Ultra Violet (UV) visible spectrophotometric analysis, and measurement of the absolute zeta potential. The results showed that sample without ultrasonication treatment had substantial agglomeration as compared to other samples. The absorbance ratio of the sample without ultrasonication treatment is 0.33. The absorbance ratio value escalated as the duration of the ultrasonication treatment on the sample increases. After ultrasonication treatment for 40–120 min, the absorbance ratio increased by 34–117%. The samples treated with 120 min of ultrasonication showed the highest level of stability, as evidenced by the high absorbance ratio and zeta potential values of 0.95 and −80.48 mV, respectively. As a result, the findings suggests that TiO2-POE with ultrasonication treatment for 120 min could generate the excellent stability compared to other samples in this experiment
