    The oil palm tree, which had been producing a plentiful supply of oil palm fronds, had simply been left to rot on the ground. As biomass is a loose substance, pelletization was undertaken so that it could be transported and stored with ease. High-quality pellet production was studied to maximize oil palm frond use. Therefore, the primary goal of this study was to determine the impact of particle size and moisture content on fuel pellet quality. The response surface approach was utilized in this study to optimize the oil palm fronds pellet particle size and the moisture content on the durability, unit density, and calorific value. The particle sizes analyzed were 0.15 mm, 0.500 mm, and 1.00 mm, while the moisture content was 5%, 10.50%, and 16%. The pellets were manufactured using a hydraulic single pellet press, and their calorific value, unit density, and durability were evaluated using a bomb calorimeter, a density formula, and a sieve shaker, respectively. The optimization yielded the maximum desirability (0.5026) for particles with a 16% moisture content and a 0.500 mm particle size. The condition is ideal when the value of desirability is closest to 1.00. It may be concluded that the particle size and moisture content of oil palm fronds affect the durability, unit density, and calorific value of oil palm fronds pellet.

    In this work, the effect of zinc addition on the performance of aluminum-based sacrificial anode in seawater was investigated. The parameters used in assessing the performance of the cast anodes are anodic efficiency, protection efficiency and polarized potential. The content of zinc in the anodes was varied after die casting. The alloys produced were tested as sacrificial anode for the protection of mild steel for marine application at room temperature. Factors such as reactivity of zinc particles in the seawater, corrosion activity during the period of experiment, pH of seawater and the electronegativity potential of zinc were collected for analysis. Overall findings shows addition of zinc increases rate of corrosion to the sacrificial anode and the protection offered by the sacrificial anodes measured and collected in PIT shows the seawater react to sacrificial anode and no porosity reaction between the anodes. The microstructure showed the intermetallic structures of β-phase which breakdown the alumina passive film, thus enhancing the anode efficiency.

    The thermal management in the electronic device or system using the heat sink is important to ensure the device or system operating under the allowable temperature. The present study aims to investigate the thermal characteristic (i.e., temperature distribution) of the various heat sink designs via computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. The electronic cooling process of the heat sink is carried out via CFD software. The temperature distribution of the various heat sink designs (i.e., plate fin, circular pin fin and rectangular fin) was analyzed and compared. The CFD analysis revealed the plate fin heat sink has lowest temperature distribution on the fin region. High temperature distribution was observed on the pin fin heat sink. The non-uniform temperature distribution was attributed by the direction of inlet airflow, whereas the low temperature was found in the region that close to the inlet airflow. Thus, the research findings indicated the design of heat sink significantly affects the temperature distribution during the electronic cooling process.

    The characteristics of the solid fuel pellets, such as its strength, durability and density can be used to assess its quality. During the transport and storage, pellets with low strength and durability produces dusts and ultimately resulting in equipment blockage, high pollution emissions, and an increased risk of fire and explosion. Therefore, pellet manufacturing process should be given priority to improve pellet quality. The use of binder in the production of pellets will aid in improving pellet quality. Therefore, this study investigates the influence of different binder percentages on the mechanical properties of K. senegelensis fuel pellets. Durability, unit density, bulk density and diametral compressive strength testing were carried out in compliance with international standards. It was discovered that pellets containing 4% cassava starch binder produces better results, particularly in terms of durability and compressive ldiametral strength.

    Swirling Fluidized Bed (SFB) is one of the liquid-solid interaction in fluidization improved from conventional systems. This system is usually viewable in the power generation, chemical industry, material production and drying processes. Inside the SFB, there is annular blade distributor which will cause the air to pass through and create a swirl motion on the bed. The energy consumption of a fluidized bed system depends on the distributor's design. The current study has purpose a new design that applies to existing designs of blade inclination angle. The simulation study was conducted using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to obtain the result of velocity distribution and pressure drops on various blade distributor designs. This study uses two (2) twist angle (80 and 100 ) via number of blade distributor (40, 50 and 60). In this study, tangential velocity is the main velocity component by reason of the velocity represents the rotating air velocity in fluidization system. Overall, the design of the 100 twist angle and 40 blades distributor are the best distributors of blades compared to others.

    The treatment of severely atrophic posterior maxillae without bone augmentation by using zygomatic implants has received a major attention in prosthodontics due to great implant survival rates. However, mechanical implant system failures were still reported irrespective of surgical techniques used for zygomatic implant placement. Two main prominent approaches, the intrasinus and extramaxillary possess their own advantages and drawbacks with no particular indication found, to date, to highlight the best technique in relation to prosthesis stress. Thus, this study emphasised on the computational evaluation of both approaches with regards to the prosthesis responses. Two sets of finite element models comprising bones, soft tissue, implants, abutments, and prosthesis were prepared accordingly. The models were then assigned with the material properties, contact modelling, and loadings as closely as possible with the real conditions. The results showed that the extramaxillary technique reported a more promising maximum stress value and distribution within the prosthesis than the intrasinus. Moreover, the prostheses in both approaches seemed to have a low tendency to failure as the stress levels were significantly less than the stress limit of the material.

    The aim of this present work was to investigate the effect of different percentage rice husk silica (RHS) particles composition towards polymer mixed matrix membrane microstructure and performance in water separation process. The polymer membranes were prepared by a phase inversion method using polysulfone (PSf), N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as solvent, distilled water as non-solvent and fixed RHS at 400°C as an additive. The microstructures of PSf/PEG/RHS sample were characterized by performing scanning electron microscope (SEM). The performance was measured by using pure water flux and humic acid for the rejection test. The analyzed result of SEM analysis revealed that the addition of RHS obviously improved the microstructure of the membrane especially at the top and sub layer at the range of 1 until 3 wt. %. This was proven by the pure water flux (PWF) value measured from 114.47 LMH to 154.04 LMH and rejection from value 83% to 96% at this specified range substantially higher than the mixed matrix membrane with synthetic silica. In fact, the presence of RHS particles not only improved the properties and performance of membrane but also possess biodegradable properties which can minimize the pollution and provide a membrane green technology system.

    Control parameters of the injection molding and fabrication process are essential to the success of any micro-molding product fabrication. The goal of the study is to simulate and optimise the parameter for the plastic mini micro centrifugal pump body by using Response Surface Methodology. The material for this micro part is Polyphenylene Sulphide (PPS). This study is also investigating the impact of design parameters and processing parameters on the quality of a plastic moulded part to obtain optimal response and meets the requirement specification. The control factors chosen for this study are melting temperature, cooling time and injection pressure. Based on the complex shape of the body part of mini micro pump, volumetric shrinkage and warpage are selected as the essential quality that needs to be controlled. The selected processing parameter are melting temperature, cooling time and injection pressure. As a result, the optimum values suggested by the software are melt temperature of 315.98 C, cooling time of 362s and injection pressure of 62MPa. With small differences error value between solution and simulation, 0.27% for volumetric shrinkage and 0.19% for warpage, the result was acceptable.

    The practical use of ceramic membrane has been limited by their fabrication technique and brittleness. Nowadays, phase inversion and sintering technique for ceramic membrane fabrication has been received widely attention. However, the unavoidable unstable structure for fabrication of flat-sheet ceramic membrane using this technique is still becoming an issue. To overcome this problem, in this paper, flat-sheet ceramic membrane have been developed via modified phase inversion and sintering technique using kaolin as main ceramic material, polyethersulfone (PESf) as the polymeric binder and N-methylpyyrolidone (NMP) as the solvent, respectively. The modified phase inversion has been done by adding drying process before the immersion into solvent. The influence of kaolin composition (60-80g) and drying temperature (room temperature and 3oC) have been investigated extensively to optimize the preparation. The results showed that the ceramic membrane prepared at 80g kaolin composition with drying temperature of 3oC displayed the highest bending strength of 53.1g with excellent BSA and humic acid rejection. Therefore, this study proved that the problem of unstable fabrication technique for flat-sheet ceramic membrane can be solved via modified phase inversion through the influence of high composition and low drying temperature.

    Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation used to analyse the fluid mixing in micromixer. There are two cases of miscible liquids that involved within T-shaped micromixer which are ethanol-water and glycerol-water. The T-shaped micromixer consist of micro channel with two inlets channels and one outlet channel was constructed by using AutoCAD software. The effect of inlet velocity and width size toward mixing intensity were investigated. The mixing intensity values determine either good or bad mixing quality could be achieved. In this simulation, at low inlet velocity indicates good mixing quality as the mixing intensity value approaching to one. Whereas the effect of width size on mixing intensity are almost similar throughout simulated width sizes. Mixing intensity for the two cases of diffusion coefficient showed similar trend for different inlet velocity and width size of mixing channel.
