Adoption Of Variable Rate Technology, Isti Surjandari, Marvin T. Batte
Makara Journal of Technology
Site Specific Management (SSM), which also variously referred to as Variable Rate Technology (VRT), is an emerging technology that enables producers to make more precise input application decisions based on soil and field characteristics. This study analyzes factors influencing the adoption of VRT for fertilizer application for cash grain production in Ohio. Results show that producer and field characteristics might influence the adoption decision on various SSM components differently. It also provides insight as to the sequence of adoption of SSM component technologies and how this sequence might differ for producers of differing characteristics.

Variable Rate Technology (VRT) offers an opportunity to improve production efficiency by allowing input applications to fluctuate in response to spatial variations in soil characteristics and nutrient levels. Society may also benefit from reduced negative externalities, such as surface and groundwater contamination, from input applications. Using a dynamic spatial model, this study examines how the interaction among variability, spatial autocorrelation, and mean level of soil fertility affects optimal sampling density and the economic gains from VRT. VRT was found to be profitable under selected conditions, and the optimal grid size will vary with these conditions. In the case where variability …

Alum And Pacl Coagulation, Winarni Winarni
Makara Journal of Technology
Alum and PACl Coagulation. Coagulation occurs by interaction of aluminum hydrolysis products with the contaminant such as colloidal particles. It is necessary to consider the different aluminum species that may present during specific conditions, since the mechanism of turbidity removal is dependent upon them. PACl consists of preformed aluminum hydrolysis products, which are stable below pH 6 and less sensitive than in situ hydrolysis product, alum. The benefits of PACl relative to alum have been investigated as a function of pH and Al dosages. Specific conditions and aluminum species that exist during the certain mechanisms of coagulation are discussed. Results …

The Selection Of Materials For Roller Chains From The Perspective Of Manufacturing Process, Rahmat Saptono
The Selection Of Materials For Roller Chains From The Perspective Of Manufacturing Process, Rahmat Saptono
Makara Journal of Technology
The selection of materials for an engineering component is not only requested by its design function and shape, but also the sequence through which it is manufactured. The manufacturing operation of roller chains involves drawing and trimming processes aimed at producing semi-finished chain drives component with a well-standardized dimension. In addition to final combination of properties required by design constraints, the ability of materials to be formed into a desired shape and geometry without failure is also critical. The objective of materials selection should therefore involve additional attributes that are not typically accommodated by the standard procedure of materials selection. …

Magneto-Hydrodynamic Squeeze Film Characteristics Between A Sphere And A Plane Surface, Tsu-Liang Chou, Jen-Wen Lai, Jaw-Ren Lin
Journal of Marine Science and Technology
Based upon the thin-film magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) theory, this paper analyzes the squeeze-film characteristics between a sphere and plane surface lubricated with an electrically conducting fluid in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. The MHD Reynolds-type equation governing the squeeze-film pressure is derived using the continuity equation and the magneto-hydrodynamic motion equations. A closed-form solution for the squeezing film pressure is obtained, and applied to predict the MHD squeeze-film characteristics. According to the results obtained, the presence of externally applied magnetic fields signifies an enhancement in the squeeze-film pressure. On the whole, the magnetic-field effects characterized by the Hartmann number …
