Abstract

A heat exchanger is a device used to exchange or change the temperature of a fluid by exchanging heat with another fluid. One of the heat exchangers is a surface type condenser where the steam is separated from the cooling water, the steam is outside the pipes while the cooling water is in the pipes at PT. SOCIMAS. At PT. SOCIMAS, the condenser is part of the main cooling system which functions to condense steam into water and maintain the efficiency and work cycle of the turbine high. For this reason, this final project report focuses on condenser analysis. The results obtained from this final project are the value of the inner convection coefficient of 4056.6827 W/(m2.K) and the outer convection coefficient of 97414.18W/(m2.K) . value of heat transfer rate and effectiveness (ε) on the condenser PT. SOCIMAS obtained a heat transfer rate of 153.6001264 MW. While the effectiveness (ε), obtained 0.99571 % This shows that the condition of the condenser is quite good, because the steam can go to the condenser, so that the rate of heat transfer and the effectiveness of the condenser are able to condense the steam into liquid.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of increasing the concentration of natural filler on the mechanical properties of Spent Coffee Ground (SCG) / Coffee Husk (CH) reinforced epoxy matrix composite. The materials used in this study are epoxy resin as a matrix and waste coffee grounds and coffee husks as natural fillers with sizes of 100-mesh and concentrations of 10, 20, and 30 wt.%. The results showed that SCG 10 wt.% produced the best mechanical properties compared to the other samples based on tensile strength (19.58 MPa), tensile modulus (1.70 GPa), flexural strength (44.55 MPa), and flexural modulus (2.32 GPa). On the other hand, CH 30 wt.% contributed the highest hardness value of 50.33 HRB compared to other samples. The findings in this study prove that the appropriate composition will affect the compatibility between the filler and the matrix, thus impacting the mechanical properties of the composite. This phenomenon can be seen based on microscope analysis, which shows a strong interaction between the matrix and filler and the formation of voids and agglomeration
