M. Ismoen et al. in the second article discuss the similarity and nonsimilarity solutions on flow and heat transfer over a wedge with power law stream condition which is an output of the research collaboration between Institut Teknologi Brunei, Brunei Darussalam and Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia. S. Hasan, A.N. Ahmad and D. Feriyanto review the design of the package on the application of an internet, online and network based on reducing waste in lean manufacturing operation that will replace the manual method doing value stream mapping. T. Mulyana discusses on a nonparametric system identification based on transient analysis with plant process of heat exchanger as case study, and I. A. Wibowo dan D. Sebayang present an applied research about the optimization of Solar-Wind Diesel Hybrid Power System design using Homer. The last article highlight the preparation and photoluminescence properties of RF-Sputtered Zn O Film which was conducted under cooperation between Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology, Vietnam, Posts and Telecommunications Group Hanoi, Department of Physics, Hanoi University of Natural Science, Hanoi, Institute of Materials Science, Academy of Science and Technology, Vietnam, Hanoi, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Mercu Buana University, Jakarta, Indonesia and Department of Physics, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Yongin, South Korea.To all our authors, thank for making this premiere issue possible.

Aliran Gayanormalakibat Beban Suhu dengan Menggunakan Hubungan Elastomekanis yang Meninjau Koefisien Perpindahan Panas Laminat

ALIRAN GAYANORMALAKIBAT BEBAN SUHU DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN HUBUNGAN ELASTOMEKANIS YANG MENINJAU KOEFISIEN PERPINDAHAN PANAS LAMINAT. Hubungan elastomekanis merupakan salah satu persamaan yang diperlukan untuk menyelesaikan persamaan silinder. Di sini diturunkan persamaan elastomekanis yang meninjau koefisien perpindahan panas. Hal ini berguna untuk mempermudah perhitungan gaya dalam akibat beban termis. Untuk meneliti kesahihan hubungan elastomekanis tersebut maka hasil yang diperoleh dibandingkan dengan hasil yang diperoleh dengan menggunakan hubungan elastomekanis konvensional

OPTIMIZATION OF SOLAR-WIND-DIESEL HYBRID POWER SYSTEM DESIGN USING HOMER

Indonesia has a lot of potential for renewable energy. Electricity generation from hybrid solar and wind energy will be a prospective solution to fulfill electricity supply for remote and rural communities. Although diesel generator was still part of the hybrid power system, however, with a proper design, the fuel consumption could be reduced significantly. HOMER software was utilized to aid the design process by providing optimum configuration of the hybrid power system components in terms of performance and economy

Development of UTHM's Airship Virtual Simulator

Airship virtual simulator was developed by programming the solution of the airship equations of motion to Matlab GUI. This paper shows a case study done by applying the physical data of a designed airship called ‘UTHM’s Airship’ in the airship equations of motion for development of airship virtual simulator. In this study, the approximate and calculated stability modes of the designed airship were compared for validation purposes. The virtual simulator operates by selecting the desired control angle of elevator, rudder or vectored thrust as input and the response outputs are shown in motion of pitch, yaw or roll angle through a moving airship figure in the simulator. At the end of this paper, the virtual simulator had successfully helped interprets the response of the designed airship into an interesting and easy to understand visualization

Modification of Surface Roughness and Area of FeCrAl Substrate for Catalytic Converter Using Ultrasonic Treatment

Surface roughness and area play important role especially in deposition and reaction of the catalyst in the catalytic converter substrate. The aim of this paper is to show the modification of surface roughness and area of FeCrAl substrate for catalytic converter using ultrasonic method. The method was conducted by agitating the FeCrAl in 10 minutes 35 kHz ultrasonic cleaning bath. The surface roughness, morphology, and chemical components of FeCrAl catalytic converter substrate after ultrasonic treatment were analyzed using atomic force microscope (AFM) and examined with scanning electron microscope (SEM) in combination with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The ultrasonic treatment assisted with Al2O3 powders successfully increased the roughness and surface area of FeCrAl better than SiC powders
