Published: December 2021

In this study, a proton exchange membrane fuel cell operating at low temperatures with a single channel is modeled. The prepared model has been compared with experimental data and its accuracy has been proved. Using this model, the impact of the change of the channel width on the cell performance with the channel height being constant and the change of the channel geometry with the channel cross-sectional area being constant was investigated. It has been found that the enlargement of the area where the reactant contacts the diffusion layer provides an increase in performance. However, when working at low voltages, it has been observed that increasing concentration losses decrease with increasing base angle and channel width.

Authors: Karel Agung  , Tanijaya Jonie , Sanggaria Olan Jujun
Published: December 2021

Salah satu model perencanaan struktur yang dapat dipakai untuk mengefisienkan struktur gedung ialah dengan menambahkan balok anak. Berdasarkan asumsi tersebut maka tulisan ini dibuat untuk menganalisis pengaruh penempatan balok anak pada struktur lantai gedung untuk mengetahui besarnya efisiensi yang terjadi terhadap tebal pelat dan material beton bertulang yang digunakan. Pada kasus perencanaan gedung Toko Satu Sama di Jl. Perintis Kemerdekaan Kota Makassar denah lantai diberi satu balok anak pada arah-x dan menghasilkan tebal pelat 150 mm. Denah lantai tersebut direncanakan ulang dengan membuat denah lantai tanpa balok anak, denah lantai dengan balok anak arah-y dan denah lantai dengan balok anak arah-x dan y. Momen lentur yang terjadi pada pelat lantai dihitung menggunakan metode PBI 1971, namun dengan tetap mempertimbangkan ketentuan terbaru dalam SNI 2847, 2019. Hasil perhitungan menunjukkan bahwa denah lantai dengan pola penempatan balok anak arah-x dan y (h = 120 mm) dapat mengefisienkan pelat sebesar 20 % dari tebal pelat dengan pola penempatan balok anak arah-x. Sejalan dengan itu kebutuhan beton pun dapat diefisienkan sebesar 15,359 % (12,284 m3). Sekalipun memiliki kebutuhan tulangan yang lebih banyak, pola penempatan balok anak arah-x dan y merupakan pola yang paling efisien.

Authors: Adegoke Isaiah , Mingbao Chen , Abredu Pearl , Ndafira Grace Chikomborero , Amoateng Priscilla Achiaa , Owusu-Gyan Lilian
Published: December 2021

The study explores the impact of ecological supply chain management practices such as Green Supply Chain, environmental and operational management practices of organizational performance in Ghana.  The organizational performance was measured based upon three parameters constituting Sustainable Environmental Performance (SENP), Sustainable Economic Performance (SECP), and Competitiveness (COMP). Exogenous factors included the constructs of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) practices and the single-item construct voluntary adoption of SSCM practices, while endogenous variables included the three aspects of firm performance. The relationship between sustainable management practices and organizational performance was ascertained using Structural Equation Modeling. A few significant results are presented as follows; (1) Environmental Management Practices (EMP) results in enhanced Sustainable Environmental Performance (SENP) and Sustainable Economic Performance (SECP); (2) Organizational Performance has a strong correlation with SECP and COMP; (3) SECP has a substantial and favorable relationship with both competitiveness and sustainable environmental performance, as well as sustainable economic performance. The positive relationship between SSCM practices and firm performance demonstrates that continual sustainable management principles eventually improve community capacity.
