Indonesia is an archipelago state that is the nature have provides raw materials from medicinal plants, it is not yet used cause medicinal plants usually lived in the forests that have difficult access. Kebiul seed (Caesalpinia bonduc (L.) Roxb.) is an empirically medicinal plant belonging to the Caesalpiniaceae family which has great potential to be used as an prevent from free radicals or as an antoxidants cause kebiul seeds contains alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and steroids.The aims of this research to make a M/A emulsion substance. The sample that have been used in this study is kebiul seeds that have extracated by maceration and then evaporated with a waterbath. The extract was made in four formulas with each concentration 10%, 20%, 30%. The evaluation of the M/A have perfect result which were done, stability test (odor, color and shape / texture and pH test) flow properties test, viscosity test, emulsion type test, and microscope cross-section test. After analyzing the M/A emulsion substance the results from all of the evaluations that have been done from the 4 formulas, the kebiul seeds could be made into M/A Emulsion. Variation in contents of Caesalpinia bonduc (L.) Roxb extract which have the requirements evaluation, namely: organoleptic test, pH test, stability test, emulsion type test, viscosity test, and microscope cross-section test.

To generate the hypervelocity (above 5 km/s) test flow for the experimental study of reentry physics, a shock-expansion tube or tunnel is the only qualified test facility by far. In such a facility, the working gas shall be compressed by an extremely strong shock wave, e.g., Ms=27.7 for the 8 km/s test condition. Therefore, thermo-chemical nonequilibrium phenomena may occur in the gas post the shock wave. Such phenomena, consequently, can incur difficulties in diagnostic and measurement to experimental study, and instability problems to numerical analysis on the other hand. The present paper will focus on the numeric-aid diagnostics of the flow conditions.

Impulse facilities generate transient high-velocity gas flows for ground testing in aerodynamics. The expansion tube is the facility type with the highest performance capability in terms of total flow enthalpy and total pressure, and is particularly useful for studies of atmospheric re-entry, chemical kinetics, scramjet flight and supersonic combustion. In operation, a thin film diaphragm that initially partitions two tube sections is required to rupture under the force of a shock-wave. Fragmented pieces are accelerated with the flow and can damage test models and instrumentation, and the rupture process itself affects flow properties. It has been proposed to replace the diaphragm with a fast open valve that clears the tube prior to shock arrival. This paper investigates the effect of early valve opening on the test flow.An inviscid, axisymmetric model was created using Eilmer3, a compressible CFD solver developed at the University of Queensland. Early valve opening was simulated at varying times for instantaneous diaphragm removal. The result was the formation of a secondary shock and expansion wave. The primary shockwave reaches the test section at a higher velocity due to passing through the expansion wave, creating a faster, higher-pressure test flow, but also higher temperature, leading to substantially reduced Mach number. The interactions with the secondary waves were found to cause unsteadiness in test flow properties.
