The Wind turbine is a tool used in Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS). The wind turbine produces electricity by converting wind energy into kinetic energy and spinning to produce electricity. Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) is designed to produce electricity from winds at low speeds. Vertical wind turbines have 2 types, they are wind turbine Savonius and Darrieus. This research is to know the effect of addition wind booster to Savonius vertical wind turbine with the variation 2 blades and 3 blades. Calculation the power generated by wind turbine using energy analysis method using the concept of the first law of thermodynamics. The result obtained is the highest value of blade power in Savonius wind turbine without wind booster (16.5 ± 1.9) W at wind speed 7 m/s with a tip speed ratio of 1.00 ± 0.01. While wind turbine Savonius with wind booster has the highest power (26.3 ± 1.6) W when the wind speed of 7 m/s with a tip speed ratio of 1.26 ± 0.01. The average value of vertical wind turbine power increases Savonius after wind booster use of 56%.
HVAC installations are essential to the operating room to maintain the safety of environmental conditions and provide comfort for patients and medical personnel. Operating room is a room with a class of 10,000 where the maximum number of particles in the room is 352,000 particles per cubic feet for bacteria 0.5-micrometer size (ISO 14644-1). To achieve the desired air conditions in the operating room required an air conditioning tool that is Air Handling Unit (AHU). The AHU determination shall be adjusted to the cooling load of the chamber derived from the sensible load and latent load. Exergy analysis is required to optimize a process and evaluate the device performance. The purpose of this study is to calculate the cooling load and perform the analysis of exergy destruction on Cooling Coil and Electric Heater in AHU. The calculation of cooling load uses the standard air change method. Exergy analysis uses the second law of thermodynamic concepts related to entropy. The results obtained cooling load and exergy destruction increases with the increase of ambient temperature. Maximum exergy destruction in cooling coil 1 and 2 at 35°C is 3.3 kW and 1.6 kW while in the electric heater is 0.52 kW.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
