Object customization in Computer Aided Design (CAD) is a method used to modify the sketch parameters and change the model geometries. This method is one of important features in part modelling which empowered CAD user to simply modify their product. The conventional method of modifying CAD model is usually relied on the manual editing. This paper outlines a development of program than can be integrated in CAD/CAM system for real time object customization. It uses Visual Basic (VB) programming with custom Graphical User Interface (GUI) generated in NX10 (CAD/CAM software) interface. The main contribution of this research is a tool for real time object customization that capable to assist the modification of 3D model. In order to develop the tool, 3D model modification instructions are translated into programming codes by using Journaling tools in NX interface. Editable parameters are identified based on the model shapes. The related codes are reconstructed, modified and linked to the functional GUI.  This allows user to simply modify the model shapes in real time with minimum process steps. The performance of the method is evaluated in terms of the reduction of process steps and time in modifying the 3D model in CAD system. All the findings and details of approach are presented.

The possibility of seawater intrusion in geothermal systems is very likely to occur. This is caused by several locations of geothermal systems which are very close to the coast. This paper presents a geochemical analysis of the data manifestations of water and gas, to determine the effect of sea water on the Jailolo geothermal system. From the results of the water analysis, it is clear that the effect of sea water intrusion on the Jailolo geothermal system is shown in the anions and cations diagrams, which is almost all of the plots very close to the seawater points. So that the next analysis is focused on the position of mixing sea water with reservoir water and correction of the parameters that are affected by the mixing of sea water. It is intended that the resulting geochemical model can describe the actual reservoir conditions. If we did not include the correction factor to the calculation this will lead into mislead assessment of the reservoir temperature of geochemistry model which is the final result of the study/assessment. It is also necessary take into account for the next step of the process which is exploitation phase.

Each coil of copper produces a magnetic field and the total field inside the solenoid will be the sum of the fields caused by each coil of current. If the solenoid coils are very closely spaced, the internal field will be essentially parallel to the axis except at the very ends. To find out the magnitude of the magnetic field inside the solenoid, you can use Ampere’s law, namely B=μo∙N∙I, where B is the magnetic field strength (T), µo is air permeability (4×10‒7 T m/A), N is the number of turns and I is an electric current. The value of B depends on the number of turns per unit length, N, and current I. The field is independent of the position inside the solenoid, so the value of B is uniform. This only applies to infinite solenoids, but is a good approximation for actual points that are not near the ends of the solenoid. The research object is 4 identical copper coils with a length of 3 cm, a coil diameter of 2 cm, a cross section of 1.5 mm2 with an inductance value of 2.17 µH. Before coating curcumin on the copper winding, the initial value of the magnetic field strength was 2.54 µTesla. After the coating process of curcumin:H2O concentration, the value of the magnetic field strength increased. The method used was immersing 4 copper coils with an inductance value of 2.17 µH in curcumin:H2O concentration in a 100 ml volume measuring cup, with the respective concentrations: (20 %:80 %), (40 %:60 %), (60 %:40 %), (80 %:20 %) in a certain time. Then the copper coil conductor is supplied with a 5-volt DC voltage source. Then the value of the magnetic field strength (B) and electric current is measured, the results are compared with the system before immersing the copper coil. The measurement results showed that the values of electric current and magnetic field strength increased after curcumin coating compared to before treatment. To see the bonding performance of curcumin and copper, the FTIR test and simulation of the curcumin: copper bond were carried out using Avogadro software. In the IR test, there is a strong absorption of aromatic C-C from 1,650 cm-1 to 1,500 cm-1. Whereas in the simulation, the bond between copper and curcumin produces a bond energy of 164.532 kJ/mol or equivalent to 171.12×10-2 eV
