A reactor is a process device where a reaction takes place, be it a chemical or nuclear reaction and not physically. Nuclear reactors are used for various purposes, namely to create, regulate, and maintain a nuclear chain reaction at a constant rate. One method of monitoring corrosion is using an ultrasonic device to measure the thickness of the tank wall and an underwater camera tool to visually see the damage that has occurred and will provide a quantitative estimate of the corrosion rate that occurs in the system by comparing the initial weight and weight after a certain time. The corrosion rate value on the TRIGA 2000 reactor wall is obtained through the weight reduction method, and has an average corrosion value of 0.10 mmpy, while the type of corrosion that occurs on the TRIGA 2000 reactor wall is the type of intergranular corrosion. protective coating by coating organic compounds (lubricant) and controlling humidity and temperature.

2022-12-20T00:32:41+00:00

The generator in the hydropower system is used to convert mechanical energy originating from the turbine rotation into electrical energy by producing an electromotive force. Excitation is one of the most crucial parts of the Generator system, where excitation plays a role in forming/producing electromagnetic flux, resulting in an induced emf. The amplifying current is used to adjust the magnitude of the output voltage according to the applied load. The tool used to regulate the excitation current is the Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR). The differential loading on the generator changes every time. Therefore a power plant must be able to generate electricity in accordance with the magnitude of the changing load. In power generation, these loading fluctuations can be overcome by adjusting the water valve opening and the excitation current flowing to the electromagnet coil on the generator rotor with constant rotor rotation by the AVR so that electric power is generated according to the applied load. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of the load on the excitation current. The results obtained are the load has an effect on the excitation current.

PENGARUH VARIASI INFILL DAN SPEED PRINTING TERHADAP SIFAT MEKANIK ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

2022-12-20T00:35:28+00:00

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a production process that does not remove or remove some of the material in the production process but adds material. The added material is extruded by means of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technique. The way it works is to create a number of layers or layers one on top of the other. The software application used is Inventor to create 3D models in the form of STL files. Then the STL file is opened in the Ultimaker Cura (UC) application, to create a Numerical Code in G-Code which is used as a control on a 3D printing machine. The filler material used to produce molds is Polylatic Acid (PLA). PLA filament is very widely used in the manufacturing process, because this PLA can produce strong and very neat prints. The general print temperature of PLA is between 180oC to 220oC. The purpose of this test is to find out the steps for implementing the AM process and to analyze the mechanical properties of the AM product using the FDM technique. In this study, the printed material was based on ASTM D638 type IV. This research was conducted to determine the effect of variations in infill and printing speed on printed results, with a horizontal orientation of the printing angle of 0o. The infill variations are line infill and concentric infill with printing speeds of 50mm/s and 60mm/s. The research procedure is to make a 3D printing model, the manufacturing process, and the testing process. The results showed that the choice of infill and speed printing variations had an effect on the mechanical properties. The mechanical properties of printing products differ according to the mode and speed. The infill line mode provides greater mechanical strength than that produced in concentric infill. At a speed of 60 mm/s, the product strength of the infill line mode is 32.5 MPa greater than the 27 MPa strength of the printed product from the concentric infill mode.

2022-12-20T00:38:19+00:00

The PLTA TES is a generator that relies on water as the driving force for a turbine unit system. There are 7 PLTA Tes turbine units that are still operating with alternating working hours. In keeping a turbine unit operating properly, one way is to do maintenance and general inspection (GI). Maintenance is one way to keep a tool or object from being damaged. Then General Inspection (GI) is a process of activities in the PLTA Test company in checking, measuring, adjusting, repairing and testing one turbine unit in operating for 20,000 hours on a regular basis so that the unit can operate better than before, maintenance is carried out. One of the turbine components that is the object of maintenance is the runner. The runner is the heart of a turbine so that it can operate by relying on flowing water so that the runner can rotate. Runners are given a spot check to see if there is a crack in the runner's condition and measure the runner's clearance so that there is no excessive friction when the runner is operating and the runner is not thirsty.

Center for Applied Nuclear Science and Technology (Pusat Sains dan Teknologi Nuklir Terapan /PSTNT) is a work unit that is under and directly responsible to the Deputy for Nuclear Science and Applications of Nuclear Technology, National Nuclear Energy Agency. In PSTNT Bandung, the function of the tank is as a container to place the reactor components, the reactor shield for the heat exchanger and as a place for nuclear reactions to take place. In nuclear reactor tank flow distribution ocures in various velocity.The purpose of this practical work is to analyze the velocity of fluid flow in the reactor tank from the inlet flow to the bottom surface of the reactor and from the bottom surface to the top surface of the TRIGA 2000 reactor. The method used in this practical work is the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Velocity method. CFD is a method for simulating fluid flow. The method is processed numerically and then digitally modeled. In practice, the authors modeled and studied the conceptual design of the reactor system using CFD based on Gambit and Fluent applications in a reactor tank. GAMBIT is an application produced by fluent inc. which is useful for making a model and discrete (meshing) to be analyzed by numerical methods. Fluent is an application that can solve fluid flow cases with the results obtained after discretizing the GAMBIT application. The results by CFD shows the distribution of fluid flow from the inlet pipe to the bottom surface of the reactor tank then the flow rises to the top surface to the outlet pipe. The velocity of the fluid flow from the inlet flow to the bottom surface was getting smaller, and the smallest value was at the bottom of the nuclear reactor, by 0.164 m/s and the flow distribution from the bottom surface to the top surface of the velocity value in a nuclear reactor would be bigger by the largest value being on the top surface of the nuclear reactor is 2.9 m/s.
