Design and Development of a Web-Based Mosque Management Information System: A Case Study of Darul Amal Mosque

2025-05-29T09:39:26+00:00

Many mosques in Indonesia face challenges in managing their operational activities, such as construction donations, donations to orphans, funeral donations, and religious assemblies as well as other financial administration. Conventionally, the recording of these activities is still done manually through financial recording in books and socializing the information using loudspeakers or utilizing mosque bulletin boards. To overcome these limitations, this research proposes the development of a Web-based Mosque Management Information System that aims to improve operational efficiency, transparency, and accessibility. The system was developed by taking a case study at Darul Amal Mosque which is a mosque in West Sumatra, Indonesia. The system was developed using PHP programming language and Laravel framework, with an online donation feature that allows donors to make donations without the need to be physically present. The research successfully developed a mosque management platform as expected. And it has been proven that a centralized and easily accessible online management process facilitates financial management, improves services to worshipers and donors, and provides better accountability in mosque operations.

The Experimental Study of the Lens Wind Turbine Performance with Vortex Generator

2025-06-22T23:39:38+00:00

Wind energy potential is available in several regions in Indonesia with wind ranges reaching 5 m/s. Wind turbine research continues to develop to produce optimal power. The aim of this research is to determine the performance of wind turbines equipped with diffusers or lens that put triangle fin vortex generator on lens’s surface. The turbine blade used Clark-Y that has a winglet angle of 45-degrees. There are three variations of lens wind turbine that were tested: without vortex generator, z/h=4.5, z/h=2.5, z/h=0.5. The research was carried out experimentally with fifth wind velocity 3 m/s, 3.5 m/s, 4 m/s, 4.5 m/s, and 5 m/s. The results analyzed to determine turbine performance are turbine rotation, the power produced due to wind direction. Based on the results of the experiments that have been carried out, the results were obtained a straight comparison between TSR and wind turbine rotation (rpm), and straight comparison between Cp and TRS. The Cp is largest in a lens wind turbine with a vortex generator z/h=0.5, which is 0.59 and has the highest power output of 473 watt.

Pyrolyzer Modification for Making Coconut Shell Charcoal with Isolation from a Mixture of Clay, Sand, and Rice Straw

2025-07-03T14:55:09+00:00

Currently, many charcoal makers use drums as pyrolyzers, this is because the oxygen (O₂) entering the combustion chamber is controlled, the oxygen level entering the combustion chamber must be low so that the shell does not burn out. The aim of this research is to calculate the heat loss rate of the pyrolyzer for making coconut shell charcoal and to analyze the effect of a mixture of clay, sand and rice straw insulator on the charcoal yield and quality of the charcoal produced. This research focuses on reviewing pyrolyzer modifications based on aspects of mixed variations of clay, sand and rice straw insulating materials in dealing with heat loss. Testing of furnace performance is carried out using comparisons of several parameters or components including temperature, time and insulator material. The final stage of the research is to draw conclusions and draw conclusions based on the results of material variations and the factors that influence them. The research results show that the best insulator is the TP3 pyrolyzer with an insulator mixed with clay, sand and rice straw in a ratio of 2:1:0.3 with a heat loss of 7,378.992 W and ΔT of 195°C. The addition of rice straw to a mixture of clay and sand insulators provides significant benefits in increasing ΔT and reducing heat loss. The addition of rice straw to a mixture of clay and sand insulators has a significant impact on the carbonization process of coconut shell charcoal. Even though the charcoal yield decreases with the addition of rice straw to the insulator, the quality of the charcoal produced increases, especially in terms of fixed carbon content with the best insulator being the TP3 pyrolyzer with a carbon content value of 78.54%.
