    Fused Deposition Modeling is known as one of the 3D printing technology where it used a thermoplastic filament to produce a prototype or a 3D part. FDM will print out the 3D part, layer by layer on the platform of the 3D printer from bottom to top using the extruded molten thermoplastic. However, there is no information about the volume enclosed by the boundary surface of the 3D part by commonly used model data format such as STL file, since the volume enclosed can be completely or partially filled. Therefore, the study and research have been carried out to investigate the strength of the 3D part affected by the design of the infill pattern where three methods being used which are design, experiment and simulation. The 3D parts were designed using CATIA V5 following the ASTM D638 for tensile test and ASTM D695 for compression test. The 3D design was then being printed using the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technique for experimental purposes and to perform the quasi-static test. Furthermore, the 3D printed with infill pattern test data were then being imported to ABAQUS/Explicit software for non-linear finite element analysis using elasto-plastic approach. The best infill patterns that exhibit a better strength after the 100% fill part is the 30% fill Lines pattern. It can be concluded that the average percentage error of stress and strain values between experimental test and simulations in tensile and compression for all specimens is below than 10%.

    Nanofluids are considered as a new invention of fluids having superior thermal physical properties to improve efficiency of the refrigeration system. Nanofluids are the colloidal suspensions of nanoparticles in base fluid. Nanoparticles having higher thermal conductivity compared to pure refrigerant such as R134a can be added to pure refrigerant to improve the performance of refrigeration system. This study focuses on producing nanolubricant (SiO2/POE) and implementing the nanolubricant into refrigeration system. The nanoparticles will be homogenized in refrigerant to produce nanoRefrigerant (R134a/SiO2) at the attached reservoir. The aim of the research is to study the thermal physical properties of nanolubricant and to find the relationship between nanoparticles’ volume fraction to the Coefficient of Performance (COP) of the refrigeration system. The investigations are focused on the effects of nanoparticles with 0.1, 0.3%, 0.7% and 0.9% volume fraction to the performance of the refrigeration system. The results show that the usage of nanolubricant creates higher thermal conductivity with slightly higher dynamic viscosity which eventually increase the performance of the refrigeration system by 8.62% in term of COP.

    The moisture distribution in the silos depends upon various seeds parameters such as type and size of seeds, amount of storage, external weather, and storage period as well as structural and environmental factors. It is very difficult to predict moisture distribution in silos effectively while taking all the above aspects into consideration. This study aims to investigate the efficiency and accuracy of localization of moisture distributions sensing in agricultural silo. The work is mainly focussed on three major elements: Radio Frequency (RF), tomographic imaging and classification process using machine learning. In particular, RF-based signal and volume tomographic images are used to predict the moisture distribution. Furthermore, computational intelligence techniques such as artificial neural network (ANN) is applied to develop models based on previous data. The generalization of these models towards new set of data is discussed in making sure a successful application of a model. A detailed study of the relative performance of computational intelligence techniques has been carried out based on different statistical performance criteria.

    Communication is one of the enablers for smart elements in a smart city. The ability of these smart elements to communicate with each other enables them to react intelligently to dynamically changing conditions. Most communication radios like Zigbee, BLE, and WiFi, among others, are short-ranged and while others such as 3G and 4G LTE, are power-hungry and subscription-based. While these protocols and communication modes work for certain applications, it carries two main limitations; difficulties in deploying IoT solutions in areas without cellular (GPRS, EDGE, 3G, LTE/4G) coverage and reduction in battery life. Thus, the future implementation of IoT and the connection of all kinds of "things"located in all kinds of places, needs a communication medium tailor-made for IoT which is low power, significantly long range, cheap, secure, and easy to deploy. This work presents the results of LoRaWAN coverage tests in Selangor Cyber Valley which is a greenfield development area where smart systems are designed into the blueprint. The data collected are during the early development phase with minimal buildings and foliage. The data demonstrates that the LoRaWAN covers a maximum radius of 2.49 km reliably with less than 10% packet loss. This strongly suggests that LoRaWAN is a reliable connection protocol for outdoor end-devices in urban environments. Future data collection after further developments may demonstrate the impact of buildings and foliage in urban environments on LoRaWAN.

    Streetlights are one of the major contributors of a city's energy usage, creating a large carbon footprint especially for highly populated areas. Current streetlights are turned on and off based on fixed schedule or by light sensors. Previous works have suggested the dimming of streetlights during zero traffic conditions to reduce energy consumption. This requires a reliable and economical communication backbone to ensure minimal service disruption. This work presents the design and performance evaluation of LoRa-based smart streetlight controllers in an urban environment. The deployment was designed to provide stress test, simulate communication connectivity, maintenance routine, firmware test and environmental conditions. The setup may also be used for staff training purposes and demonstration. The results of this work may be used achieve the effective control method for power saving, system stability, robustness and long-term performance. The deployed system includes test controllers, nodes, application server, database, gateway server and visualization dashboard. The system design demonstrated low packet error rates of approximately 1% and command response time of less than 3s in real world conditions.
