Inherent Problem

Automation of process control in chemical plant is an inspiring application field of mechatronicengineering. In order to understand the complexity of the automation and its application requireknowledges of chemical engineering, mechatronic and other numerous interconnected studies.The background of this paper is an inherent problem of overheating due to lack of level controlsystem. The objective of this research is to control the dynamic process of desired level more tightlywhich is able to stabilize raw material supply into the chemical plant system.The chemical plant is operated within a wide range of feed compositions and flow rates whichmake the process control become difficult. This research uses modelling for efficiency reason andanalyzes the model by PID control algorithm along with its simulations by using Matlab.

Annealing Algorithm

Scheduling is one of the important part in production planning process. One of the factor that influence the smooth production process is raw material supply. Sugarcane supply as the main raw material in the making of sugar is the most important componen. The algorithm that used in this study was Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm. SA apability to accept the bad or no better solution within certain time distinguist it from another local search algorithm. Aim of this study was to implement the SA algorithm in scheduling the sugarcane harvest process so that the amount of sugarcane harvest not so differ from mill capacity of the factory. Data used in this study were 60 data from sugarcane farms that ready to cut and mill capacity 1660 tons. Sugarcane harvest process in 19 days producing 33043,76 tons used SA algorithm and 27089,47 tons from factory actual result. Based on few experiments, obtained sugarcane harvest average by SA algorithm was 1651,63 tons per day and factory actual result was 1354,47 tons. Result of harvest scheduling used SA algorithm showed not so differ average from mill capacity of factory. Truck uses scheduling by SA algorithm showed average 119 trucks per day while from factory actual result was 156 trucks. With the same harvest time, SA algorithm result was greater  and the amount of used truck less than actual result of factory. Thus, can be concluded SA algorithm can make the scheduling of sugarcane harvest become more optimall compared to other methods applied by the factory nowdays.

The straw bale is a kind of eco-energy saving building material. Straw bale construction is a building which it use straw bales as the wall materials. Based on the investigation of rural residential buildings status, climatic characteristics and energy consumption status in northwest rural areas, raw material supply, construction cost and construction technology of straw bale building, thermal insulation and fire resistance properties of straw bale, environmental protection characteristic and so on were analyzed, it could make people aware of the straw bale can be used as an ideal material instead of solid clay brick in northwest rural residential building, and it could be extensive used and popularized in rural residential building.

Abstract Log yards play an important role in the forest supply chain by connecting raw material supply to manufacturing processes. Log yard design and operations have not been thoroughly represented in the scientific literature, though research in other industrial sectors has demonstrated the strategic operational importance of warehouses. This article investigates the log yard design and operations in current industrial practices. An analysis of existing log yards was conducted in Quebec. Detailed information about throughput, equipment, personnel, inventory management, and design considerations was gathered by means of questionnaires, on-site visits, and meetings with yard managers. The survey of current practices (design, management, and operations) confirms that most existing yards have been designed without a systematic method. Crucial performance inhibitors included log yard shape, in-flow management, and poor surface material. Results point toward a potential gain in competitiveness by improving log yard practices, optimizing log yard shape and layout, better coordinating the forest–mill operations, and enhancing surface material.
