Optimasi Produksi dan Purifikasi Hidrogen melalui Reformasi Uap Metana pada Reaktor Mikrokanal Menggunakan Simulasi DWSIM dan AspenPlus

Dannar Christyanto — 2026-01-30

Hydrogen is one of the clean energy vectors with great potential to support the transition toward a sustainable energy system. However, hydrogen production is still predominantly based on fossil-fuel processes, particularly Steam Methane Reforming (SMR), which is endothermic in nature and requires optimal process control to achieve high efficiency and purity. This study aims to optimize the hydrogen production and purification process through steam methane reforming in a microchannel reactor using a simulation-based approach. Microchannel reactors are selected due to their high surface-to-volume ratio, which enhances heat and mass transfer as well as reaction temperature stability. Process simulations were conducted using DWSIM software with the Peng–Robinson thermodynamic model to analyze the effects of operating parameter variations, including reformer temperature, operating pressure, and steam-to-methane ratio, on methane conversion and hydrogen mole fraction. The simulation results indicate that increasing the reformer temperature significantly enhances hydrogen production, reaching optimal conditions in the range of 900–950 °C, where the system approaches thermodynamic equilibrium. The integration of Water Gas Shift and Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) units within the simulated system is shown to improve hydrogen purity to above 98%. This study demonstrates that a simulation-based microchannel reactor approach is effective in determining optimal operating conditions and has strong potential to serve as a foundation for the development of efficient, sustainable, small-scale, and modular hydrogen production systems.

Effect of Hydrogen Mass Flow Rate on Performance and Emission Characteristics of a Dual-Fuel LPG Gas Engine: Experimental and Numerical Analysis

Wigung Tri Febrianto — 2026-01-30

Indonesia’s electricity sector remains heavily dependent on fossil fuels, with gas-based generation widely used for small- and medium-scale applications. Although liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) burns cleaner than coal and diesel, LPG-fueled engines still emit carbon-based pollutants. Hydrogen enrichment is a promising transitional strategy to improve combustion and reduce emissions without major engine modifications. This study evaluates the effect of hydrogen mass flow rate on the operational characteristics of an LPG gas engine operating in dual-fuel mode using combined experiments and numerical simulation. Experiments were performed on a single-cylinder, four-stroke LPG engine–generator operated at a constant 3000 rpm under steady-state electrical loads. Hydrogen was supplied at controlled mass flow rates while LPG remained the primary fuel. Performance parameters, air–fuel ratio, operating temperatures, and exhaust emissions were measured. In parallel, in-cylinder combustion was analyzed using ANSYS Forte, supported by a mesh sensitivity study to ensure numerical reliability. Hydrogen enrichment improved performance across the investigated load range, yielding maximum increases of 12.2% in shaft power, 17.2% in torque, and 8.2% in brake mean effective pressure. Specific fuel consumption decreased by up to 13.1%, while thermal efficiency increased by up to 13.5% compared with LPG-only operation. Hydrogen-enriched operation enabled leaner combustion at equivalent loads and reduced engine and lubricant temperatures by up to 12.2% and 8.3%, respectively. Emissions decreased, with maximum reductions of 8.2% in CO and 9.4% in HC. These outcomes indicate that hydrogen primarily functions as a combustion enhancer by accelerating flame propagation and promoting more complete oxidation, supporting LPG–hydrogen dual-fuel operation as a practical pathway toward lower-carbon distributed power generation.

Reconstructing the Connectivity Court System in Indonesia: From Collaborative to Integrative Paradigm

Lukman Hakim — 2026-02-14

This study aims to analyze the reconstruction of the criminal justice system from an ad hoc and delegative model to a permanent and attributive model in the Indonesian criminal justice system. This study uses a descriptive-analytical normative juridical method with a legislative, historical, and conceptual approach. Secondary data, including primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials, were collected through literature studies and analyzed qualitatively using deductive reasoning and various methods of legal interpretation. Departing from the theoretical framework of authority, the rule of law, and equality before the law, this study not only dissects legal dogma but also its implications for civil-military relations and judicial independence. The findings show that connectivity currently functions more as an incidental procedural mechanism that depends on executive discretion, so it is often ignored and opens up room for forum shopping and disparities in punishment between civilian and military perpetrators. On that basis, this study proposes a reconstruction of the connectivity court through the direct attribution of authority in the law to a permanent connectivity court, with a mixed composition of judges and the structuring of the role of the Deputy Attorney General for Military Crimes as dominus litis. This reconstruction is accompanied by recommendations for revisions to the Criminal Procedure Code and the Military Court Law in order to strengthen justice, legal certainty, and judicial independence.

A Philosophical Analysis of Islamic Legal Principles in the Era of Modernity

Materan Materan — 2026-02-14

This study provides a philosophical analysis of Islamic legal principles in the era of modernity, focusing on their relevance and application in contemporary societal contexts. Employing a qualitative research methodology through a literature study and library research, the paper examines key concepts within Islamic law—such as justice, equality, freedom, and human rights—while comparing them with modern legal frameworks. The findings reveal both alignment and tension between traditional Islamic jurisprudence and modern legal systems. While there is common ground in principles such as justice and human dignity, significant differences arise in areas such as gender equality, individual freedoms, and the application of human rights. The study highlights the role of ijtihad (independent legal reasoning) as a tool for adapting Islamic legal thought to contemporary issues. However, challenges remain in reconciling Islamic law’s traditional interpretations with the demands of modern governance, especially in contexts where secular legal systems prioritize individual rights over collective moral obligations. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on the adaptability of Islamic law in modern times and suggests avenues for future research, including exploring the practical applications of ijtihad in modern legal systems and further investigating the interpretation of gender equality within Islamic jurisprudence.

Agnes Raiwana Putri Sianipar — 2026-02-18

The increasing prevalence of oral bacterial infections and growing concerns regarding the long-term use of synthetic antibacterial agents have encouraged the exploration of natural alternatives in oral care products. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial effectiveness of toothpaste containing sunflower seed extract (Helianthus annuus Linn.) against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC® 29213 in vitro. Sunflower seeds were extracted using maceration, followed by phytochemical screening to identify bioactive secondary metabolites. The extract was formulated into toothpaste at concentrations of 2.5%, 5%, and 10%. A commercial antibacterial toothpaste (Siwak-F) was used as a positive control, while toothpaste base without antibacterial agents served as a negative control. Physicochemical characteristics of the formulations, including organoleptic properties, homogeneity, pH, spreadability, and viscosity, were evaluated to ensure formulation quality. Antibacterial activity was assessed using the agar well diffusion method on Mueller–Hinton Agar, and inhibition zone diameters were measured after 24 hours of incubation at 37°C. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kruskal–Wallis test followed by the Mann–Whitney post hoc test. The results demonstrated a concentration-dependent increase in antibacterial activity. Toothpaste containing 10% sunflower seed extract produced the largest inhibition zone and exhibited antibacterial activity comparable to the positive control, with no statistically significant difference. Lower concentrations (2.5% and 5%) also showed significant antibacterial effects compared to the negative control. These findings indicate that sunflower seed extract-based toothpaste has strong potential as a natural antibacterial dentifrice and may serve as a safer alternative to synthetic antibacterial agents in oral healthcare.

Andi Fentyrina — 2026-02-19

The issue of gender equality in Islamic education, particularly within the context of Islamic boarding schools (pondok pesantren), remains a relevant topic for empirical study. Pondok pesantren, as religious educational institutions, not only play a role in the transmission of Islamic knowledge but also in shaping social relations and interaction patterns between male and female students (santri). This study aims to analyze gender education practices and their implications for gender equality at the Pondok Pesantren Tahfidz Al-Quran Baytul Mukarromah in Bone Regency, South Sulawesi. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical research type. Data was collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies involving administrators, male and female students, and teachers (ustaz/ustazah). Data analysis was conducted using the gender analysis framework of Access, Participation, Control, and Benefit (APKB) to gain a deeper understanding of gender education relations and gender equality in the practices of pesantren education. Preliminary findings show active participation of female students in both academic and non-academic activities, including leadership and achievements, indicating the openness of equal opportunities in certain aspects. However, this study begins with the assumption that this equality may not be substantive and still requires further analysis of aspects such as control and the distribution of educational benefits. It is hoped that this study can contribute empirically to the development of gender perspective in Islamic education studies and serve as a practical reference for the development of a more equitable and gender-responsive tahfidz pesantren education model.

Psychological Value Analysis in the Novel Our Home by Valentina Madihanto

Windy Wonmaly — 2026-02-26

This study aims to describe the psychological values found in the novel Our Home by Valentina Madihanto (2024). The study applies a literary psychology approach using Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory, which includes the Id, Ego, and Superego, to analyze the inner conflicts of the characters. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method. The data consist of quotations from the novel that reflect psychological values. The data were collected through reading and note-taking techniques, while the analysis was conducted by identifying, classifying, and interpreting the data based on Freud’s psychoanalytic theory.The results show that the dominant psychological values in the novel include fear, anxiety, trauma, anger, emotional pressure, feelings of worthlessness, and lack of affection within the family. The absence of parental attention and warmth becomes the main factor causing the characters’ inner conflicts. These conflicts arise from the tension between the Id as instinctual drives, the Ego as a mediator of reality, and the Superego as moral control, which results in emotional distress affecting the characters’ personality development. Thus, the novel Our Home not only portrays family conflicts but also highlights the impact of lack of affection on children’s psychological condition and personality formation.
