The Impact

On the basis of the principles of Green Infrastructure and Building (GIB) in LEED for Green Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND), this paper studies the technical feasibility, economic soundness, and environmental effectiveness of a water-sourced energy system in a 6.5 million square feet mixed-use neighborhood development project in Changsha, Hunan Province, China. Two energy systems proposed for the project are compared in the study by using scientific fundamentals and engineering principle. The two energy systems are: • System One: Use Xiangjiang River as cooling water for absorption chillers to generate chilled water for all buildings. • System Two: Use traditional cooling towers providing cooling water for absorption chillers to generate chilled water for all buildings. The system performance analyses of study show that system one has better energy, environmental and economic performance than system two. Compared to system two, system one is predicted to have a saving of 32% in electricity, 11% in natural gas, and 675 ton/year in CO2 emission; and its system payback year is 8 years. This paper also investigated the impact of system one on the Xiangjiang River by using Fluent computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The results of the CFD simulation indicated that there no significant changes of river temperature over time.. Finally, some suggestions on design and operation have been provided for system one to be implemented.

This paper present a Giant Magnetostrictive Actuators (GMA) which used magnetostrictive characteristics of Giant Magnetostrictive Material (GMM) and is applied on Micro displacement of precision instrument. Since GMM is influenced by temperature and the electrified coils generating magnetic field are the main sources of heat in GMA, so the temperature impacts factors on the output displacement of magnetostrictive material are analyzed firstly, and also a control method based on existing magnetostrictive actuators is redesigned, while model is established according to the relation between output displacement and voltage values. Finally a solution is proposed about heat compensation control in GMA, and also adds a water cooling system to the cavity of GMA and controls the temperature of cooling water by Single Chip Microcomputer (SCM) according to the detected temperature of magnetostrictiverod; therefore compensations for the GMAs feed displacement are allocated. Displacement closed-looped PID controls are used to tests, which can proves that the heat compensation control system of GMA can lower the impact of increasing temperature on GMMs magnetostriction coefficient and increase positioning accuracy.

ABSTRAKSaat ini untuk memenuhi kebutuhan energi listrik pemerintah mencanangkan program pembangunan pembangkit listrik 10.000 MW. Salah satu implementasinya dengan membangun Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Uap (PLTU) berbahan bakar batubara seperti PLTU Sampit di Kabupaten Kotawaringin Timur, Propinsi Kalimantan Tengah. Permasalahan utama kegiatan PLTU adalah suhu air buangan yang jauh lebih tinggi dari suhu perairan di sekitarnya. Kenaikan suhu iniselain akan mengurangi efisiensi system pendinginan juga dapat membahayakan kehidupan aquatik. Untuk meminimalkan dampak perlu dilakukan pemodelan adveksi/dispersi panas sebelum dilakukan pembangunan PLTU. Dengan pemodelan ini akan diketahui sebaran panas buangan PLTU sehingga sejak awal dapat dilakukan upaya-upaya untuk mengurangi dampak negatif yang muncul. Selain itu model ini dapat dipakai sebagai bahan pertimbangan dalam penentuan lokasi intake dan outfall sistem air pendingin. Studi ini dilakukan dalam beberapa skenario dengan menggunakan perangkat lunak MIKE-21. Berdasarkan hasil pemodelan diketahui bahwapola arus di perairan sekitar PLTU Sampit lebih dipengaruhi pasang surut dan debit sungai dari hulu. Pada musim timur, suhu air pada lokasi intake cukup terpengaruh oleh suhu air bahang pada outfall khususnya ketika air laut pasang. Perubahan temperaturair pada intake berkisar antara 30,1 – 32 oC. Kenaikan tertinggi terjadi ketika air menuju pasang naik maksimum. Pada musim angin barat, suhu air pada lokasi intake hanya sedikit terpengaruh oleh suhu air bahang pada outfall, perubahan temperatur air pada intake hanya berkisar antara 29,99 – 30,1 oC. Kenaikan tertinggi terjadi ketika air menuju pasang naik maksimum. Resirkulasi air pendingin dengan intensitas cukup besar (+ 2oC) diprediksi terjadi saat air pasang. Hal ini dapat menjadi lebih parah bila debit sungai dari hulu berkurang yaitu ketika musim kemarau.Kata kunci: dispersi panas, PLTU, air bahang, intake, outfallABSTRACTNow to comply the electricity needs, government announced the construction of 10,000 MW power plant. One of its implementation by building Steam Power Plant (PLTU) with coal-fired power such as Sampit in the District of Eastern Kotawaringin, Province of Center of Kalimantan. The main problem of power plant activities is the waste water temperatures much higher than the temperature of the surrounding waters. The rise of temperature will not only reduce the efficiency of the cooling system but also be harmful to aquatic life. To minimize the impact needs to be done advection/dispersion modeling of heat water prior to the construction of the power plant. With this modeling will be known distribution of heat waste from power plant in 2-dimensional, so that can be done since the beginning of efforts to reduce the negative impacts that arise. In addition, this model can be used as a consideration in the determination of the location of the intake and outfall system cooling water. This study was conducted in several scenarios using software MIKE-21. Based on modeling results is known that the current pattern in the waters around the Sampit power plant is more affected by tidal and river flow from upstream. In east monsoon, the water temperature at the intake is quite affected by the heat water temperature at the outfall especially when high tides. Water temperatur changes in intake ranged from 30.1 to 32 oC. The highest increase occurred when the water toward the maximum high tide. In the west monsoon, the water temperature at intake only slightly affected by the heat water temperature on the outfall. Eater temperatur changes on the intake only ranged from 29.99 to 30.1°C. The highest increase occurred when the water toward the maximum high tide. Recirculation cooling water with considerable intensity (+ 2°C) could occur during high tide. It can be more severe if the river flow from upstream is reduced like as at the dry season.Keywords: thermal dispersion, steam powerplant, heat waste water, intake, outfallCitation: Wibowo, M., Hendriyono, W., Nugroho, S., Al Hakim, B., Velly Asvaliantina.

The present article aimed to test changes in cooling water temperatures of males, present in aluminum injection molds, to reduce failures due to thermal fatigue. In order to carry out this work, cooling systems were studied, including their geometries, thermal gradients and the expected theoretical durability in relation to fatigue failure. The cooling system tests were developed with the aid of simulations in the ANSYS software and with fatigue calculations, using the method of Goodman. The study of the cooling system included its geometries, flow and temperature of this fluid. The results pointed to a significant increase in fatigue life of the mold component for the thermal conditions that were proposed, with a significant increase in the number of cycles, to happen failures due to thermal fatigue.

Steady state hydraulic calculation has been described of an extensive pipeline network based on a new graph algorithm for setting up and decomposition of balance equations of the model. The parameters of the model are characteristics of individual sections of the network (pumps, pipes, and heat exchangers with armatures). In case of sections with controlled flow rate (variable characteristic), or sections with measured flow rate, the flow rates are direct inputs. The interactions of the network with the surroundings are accounted for by appropriate sources and sinks of individual nodes. The result of the calculation is the knowledge of all flow rates and pressure losses in the network. Automatic generation of the model equations utilizes an efficient (vector) fixing of the network topology and predominantly logical, not numerical operations based on the graph theory. The calculation proper utilizes a modification of the model by the method of linearization of characteristics, while the properties of the modified set of equations permit further decrease of the requirements on the computer. The described approach is suitable for the solution of practical problems even on lower category personal computers. The calculations are illustrated on an example of a simple network with uncontrolled and controlled flow rates of cooling water while one of the sections of the network is also a gravitational return flow of the cooling water.

The Impact

The coastline of Western Pomerania has natural and cultural assets that have promoted the development of tourism, but also require additional measures to ensure the traditional features and characteristics are protected. This is to ensure that new developments conform to a more uniform set of spatial structures which are in line with the original culture. Today, seaside resorts are characterized by a rapid increase in development with a clear trend towards non-physiognomic architectural forms which continually expand and encroach on land closer to the coastline. This results in a blurring of the original concepts that characterized the founding seaside resort. This study evaluates 11 development projects (including a range of hotels, luxury residential buildings and hotel suites) built in 2009–2020 in the coastal area of Western Pomerania. An assessment of architecture-and-landscape integration for each development project was made, using four groups of evaluation criteria: aesthetic, socio-cultural, functional and locational factors. The study methodology included a historical and interpretative study (iconology, iconography, historiography) and an examination of architecture-and-landscape integration using a pre-prepared evaluation form. Each criterion was first assessed using both field surveys and desk research (including the analysis of construction plans and developer materials), and then compared with the original, traditional qualities of the town. This study demonstrates that it is possible to clearly identify the potential negative impact of tourism development on the cultural landscape of seaside resorts, and provides recommendations for future shaping, management and conservation of the landscape.
