STUDY OF HYDRAULIC CHARACTERISTICS OF A VEGETATED OPEN CHANNEL FLOW

In understanding hydraulic characteristics of open channel flow infested by vegetation, it is necessary to study the characteristics of vegetation that occupies the channel. Hypothetically, different vegetation will result in different characteristics. In this experiment, Japanese grass, Cow grass and Pearl grass were used to understand the relation of their presence towards open channel hydraulic characteristics. Experiments were conducted inside a laboratory flume, with 5-m stretch of each grass laid across the 10-m flume. Upon experiment, cross-sectional discharges, flow depths, retardance coefficients and velocities were assessed to establish relationship between vegetation and hydraulic characteristics. By comparison of graphs of depth flow characteristic, velocity characteristic, and discharge characteristic over the computed Manning’s n values, it can be concluded that characteristic of Japanese grass, Cow grass and Pearl grass are found to behave in similar pattern. The finding emphasis that, if there are an increase in channel discharge, there will be an increase in the flow depth. Besides, as flow depth increases, velocity will also increases. Eventually, when the velocity increases, manning’s retardance coefficient will decreases and play minimal effect on impeding the channel flow

Tidal energy generation using the double-emptying system scheme

This paper presents the electrical power generation by using the tidal lagoon system. In general, using tidal concept, water will flow into the dam in one direction, and then water will be forced to be released back into the sea via the low-head one-way generator. In some cases, there is a two-way power generation where power is generated when water from the sea flowing into the dam and one more generation when power is released back into the sea via two different generators. However, in this paper, a new scheme of tidal generation namely Double-Emptying System is proposed where the power can be generated during in flow and out flow, but, by using just one low-head one-way turbine only. The operation of this scheme is explained in detail in the paper. Analysis regarding the potential power production is then executed on the best location in Malaysia; Port Klang. Findings show that by using the proposed technique, the maximum potential mean power can be generated in March whereas the minimum in June, with 9.8926 MW and 6.151 MW, respectively

Difusi Inovasi Teknologi Pengelolaan Sampah Pada Masyarakat

The diffusion of Waste Management System to the society should be followed by the change of not only their knowledge and attitude, but also their behavior. To find out the effects of the diffusion to the society, some measurements can be used. These are the number of society adopted the system and how fast the society can adopt it. In order to measure the success of its implementation, the knowledge on the natures of innovation in waste management technology is required, as well as the components influencing how fast it is adopted. By doing so, the system socialization is expected to be more acceptable by all parties. It is needed to avoid the incompleteness of waste management system socialization carried out so far by society and government elements
