- PublicationApplication Of Activated Carbon In Removing Pollutant From Polluated Water(2020-02)Mohammed Gamil Abduljalil SallamWater pollution is the contamination of water bodies such as lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers and groundwater. Such an environmental degradation occurs when pollutants are directly or indirectly discharged into water bodies without proper and/or adequate treatment to remove harmful chemicals and compounds. The process of water treatment is crucial process that needs to be done effectively and efficiently, in this research the water treatment was carried out using powder activated carbon as a part of a plastic water bottle filter. Filtration was conducted over four batches, where the ratio of activated carbon was varied 50g ,100g ,150g and 200g with the contact time constant at each batch, and each batch having a different contact time from the range of 10 min to 60 min. These range of conditions where used in order to study the effect of contact time and ratio on the removal parameters such as turbidity, total solid, pH and colour. All batches were carried out at room temperature of 25Co and utilized river water from the same source. The utilization of activated carbon as a filter material was found to be very effective in the reduction of turbidity, where the maximum reduction achievement was at the highest weight of 200g AC was 1.2 NTU. For total solid content, the most effective in the treatment happened at 20 min batch, the reduction percentage is 98%. The colour of treated water shows huge improvement compared to the pre-filtered water but no improvement in regards to odour.
35 49 - PublicationA study of NDT on the reinforced concrete composite by using ultrasound testing in comparison of current method(2020-02)Mua'dz Bin Abu Hasan SaziliUltrasonic testing is one of the non-destructive testing (NDT) method that is widely used in the industry for the inspection of the defect such as internal crack that possibly happened inside the object. As the complement of the study, reinforced concrete inspection is one of the best combination scope to combine with ultrasonic testing (UT) method in evaluating the crack that emerged on the concrete building. As the reinforced concrete is widely used in the real life building nowadays, it is crucial to ensure the lifespan of the building is well maintained and inspected annually to prevent any life losses happen in the future. The principle goal of this study comprises in the identifying the type of crack that happened on the building alongside with the understanding the factors that affect the internal crack by using the stated NDT method. Inside this work, the inspection processes were performed by using Ultrasonic Tester UK1401, an Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) instrument with variation of different buildings and places to be tested around UNITEN including College of Engineering (COE), Admin Building (BA), and College of Energy Economics & Social Sciences (CES). The method of inspection is using the ultrasound propagation time in evaluating the crack depth inside the subsurface of the building and evaluation of crack width by using Watchmaker Identifier. Moreover, this work result validation will be utilized and proposed for the appropriate measures to be taken.
43 86 - PublicationCritical Success Factor Of Effective Project Time Managemant For Hydro Power Construction In Malaysia(2020-02)Ahmad Ikhram Mohd YusofEvery company that are involved with construction industry are bound to have a delayed progress at some stage in their project. In order to avoid delayed progress good project time management needs to be practice. By implying excellent project time manage, will increase the effectiveness of work progress. Good construction progress can give good impacts to the company itself and the overall development of a nation. An effective project time management can improve overall economic progression plan of a nation. This research is to identify success factor of effective project time management for hydropower construction project in Malaysia, to determine and rank critical success factors of effective project time management for hydropower construction in Malaysia, to develop structural equation model of critical success factors of effective project time management. The questionnaire was divided by 3 parts, firstly are demographic question, second are the critical success factor and lastly the impact of good project time management. It was distributed to 30 experts to validated the success factor which is researcher gained from literature review, and 150 total set questionnaires distributed for second stage. For stage only 19 respondents give feedback and for second stage, total of 111 feedback. There are 52 success factors at the beginning of this study and finally on 27 success factors were considered critical and have good impacts on effective project time management.
24 164 - PublicationLow- Cost Solar Monitoring System Featuring Mobile Application(2020-02)Hazwan Aidil Bin MohamadThe solar panel, which the energy derived from natural resources, can generate electricity from the Sun. This is known as renewable energy deriving from clean energy. A solar panel is being used in most buildings and houses. In this case, the solar system will need to check for maintenance purposes. Existing monitoring systems are excessively expensive and might need to track the solar system on site. This thesis report is a correlation between the current market monitoring system and the low-cost monitoring system. Using mobile applications, these systems are designed to monitor solar panels in a wide range. This device will monitor the system using five types of sensors. The voltage and current sensors are used to measure solar panel current and voltage. In addition, it can detect power that can be generated from solar panels. To generate power, the location of this solar panel has to be in good temperature. All of this sensor installed can be monitor in the LCD controller box and by using a mobile app. It will be a lot easier because it is a user-friendly, low-cost device and easy to monitor. This device is used to reduce the usage of the workforce and easy to monitor the system by using a low-cost project. In this thesis, we studied that to enforce the activity workforce is needed to monitor each of the electrical components in the building, especially the solar panel. The aim of this project is to monitor each aspect of the solar system for example health solar. It is easier to maintain since all the system has been monitoring.
50 184 - PublicationA Study of mechanichal properties of kenaf / solid glass microsphere / epoxy composite(2020-02)Kuganesh A /l SivasubramaniamThis thesis present the mechanical properties from the usage of Kenaf, Epoxy and Solid Glass Microsphere (SGM) framing a composite. Subsequently, the impact, hardness and tensile attributes were resolved. In view of the hand lay-up technique, the composite of various ratios (90:5:5, 80:10:10, 70:15:15, 60:20:20, 50:25:25, 40:30:30, 30:35:35) were manufactured. The mix was given a role as composite bars from prior depictions. The impact, tensile and hardness quality of the composite were examined in the experimentation and found that the bars exhibited and incredible attributes with augmentation of the Kenaf and SGM fillers until 50:25:25 ratio and afterward reduced there onwards.The outcomes and information that were shown in this paper on Kenaf/Epoxy/SGM composite bars. In addition, this paper shows the manufacture approach and estimations of the composite bars in regard to the mechanical properties ASTM standards. All the fabrication were done at Manufacturing Laboratory while the mechanical tests were led at Mechanics of Materials Laboratory. In this manner, above data is fundamental for hybrid composite makes engaged with developing insulators on electronic devices, creating composite material and other engineering segments. It will be valuable to contrast and study Epoxy Resin and different fillers and natural fibres for additional upgrade on the mechanical properties portrayal.
