ABSTRACTGarbage is solid waste, consisting of organic and inorganic substances or materials that are considered to have no longer beneficial and must be managed properly so as not to endanger the environment. Garbage has been a complicated problem especially in big cities. Singaparna, Tasikmalaya  has been produced 154.72 m3 of plastic waste every day. Plastic waste collected by BST is only sort and sold at low prices to the city. To increase the sale value, the plastic waste needs to be chopped in advance. Therefore, the Laboratory of Agricultural Equipment and Machinery FTIP Unpad had developed a plastic waste counting machine to be applied to the community, especially in BST to produce the desired plastic count. However, this machine not yet performance testing data, so it needs to do research regarding performance tests. The purpose of this study is to examine the performance of the plastic counter machine which includes measuring the capacity of the machine, calculating the rendering yield, calculating the length of the enumeration measuring the engine noise level and measuring the engine vibration level. The research method used had descriptive analysis method, it was measuring and calculating the structural components and engine performance. The results of the study in measuring the performance test showed that the actual capacity of the machine was 19.18 kg / hour, the enumeration chopper was 84%, the percentage of plastic chopping length was 86.89%, the noise level was 104.77dB, and the engine vibration was 18.3 mm / s. Key Note : plastic chopper, performance test, tasikmalaya garbage bank

Performance testing of gas turbine packages is becoming increasingly common to assure that the turbine output power and efficiency meet the expected values during the turbine life cycle. In the conventional Performance Test Analysis (PTA), field measurements and calculations are carried out on the basis of standard codes to find the whole engine performance parameters (i.e. power and efficiency) at test conditions and to compare them with the expected values. Recently, regarding the development of Gas Path Analysis (GPA) and diagnostic techniques to investigate the gas turbine health state, performance test capabilities can be improved by using these analyses to perform further examination on the measured test data and to determine the deviation of gas turbine component health parameters from the “new and clean” health state during the engine operation. Determining the mentioned deviations, potentials of engine improvement in the component level can be obtained and subsequently the action-oriented recommendations are reported as guidelines in the overhaul. Also in the case of performance test after the overhaul, the main result of the GPA application in PTA is the verification of the overhaul effectiveness. Using the GPA in the cases studied in this paper indicates that heath state of engine components can be investigated from the performance test data and as the main result, it is show that applying the GPA, it is possible to distinguish the effect of non-recoverable degradation and that of the poor overhaul on the engine performance and finally to assess technically the effectiveness of overhaul.

INTRODUCTION The nationwide implementation of physical performance test batteries for youth squad players can be valuable for compiling individual physical performance profiles based on age- and gender-specific norm values. This approach is frequently used for optimizing training prescription and thus athletic development. The aim of this study was to introduce a distribution-based approach to derive an effect size scale for assessing athletic development from normative testing data in youth players, which can then be translated to setting performance goals for athletic development.METHODS Secondary analysis of norm values (mixed longitudinal and cross-sectional data [1]). In the age-groups under 12 to under 17, a maximum number of 1,172 and 846 tests were available for male and female basketball squad players, respectively. Biannual testing was conducted as part of a federal research project (20-m sprint, 20-m change of direction sprints with/without basketball, jump & reach, standing long jump, chest pass, mid-range jump shot, multistage fitness test). An effect size scale was derived from norm values which were available as quintile scores (five categories). Trivial changes were defined as the age-related mean annual performance development which was estimated as the average age-group-to-age-group change for the quintiles. Threshold values for small, medium, and large changes were calculated as average changes that were required to increase performance classification by one, two or three categories, respectively. These thresholds were additionally compared to the default effect size scale commonly used for interpreting standardized mean differences (between-player standard deviation: small 0.2, medium 0.6, large 1.2 [2]).RESULTS For example, the age-related mean annual development in the jump & reach for male players was 4 cm (trivial change). To reach one, two or three higher performance categories, jump height must improve by 8, 12 and 15 cm, respectively (i.e., small, medium, large). Compared with the default standardized effect size scale, these quintile-based thresholds were larger.CONCLUSION The quintile-based analysis presents a simple and practical approach to derive effect size thresholds based on norm values created from regular physical performance testing. These effect size scales can be easily visualized and communicated to players and coaches, as they are typically familiar with percentile-based performance classification of testing data. A limitation of this study was that only norm values in the form of quintile scores were used for analysis. Future research should attempt to model longitudinal datasets while accountingfor within- and between-player effects. Furthermore, the choice of appropriate and realistic percentilebased thresholds clearly remains up for debate and requires adequate analysis of original longitudinal data.REFERENCES 1.

Converter kits are equipment used to translate fuel oil (CNG) into gas fuel (CNG) in convertible vehicles. The use of a converter kit with CNG liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) will be used to optimize engine performance while driving, but its use is not yet known among the public because it is not affordable and there is no transition from fuel to consumed gas. Therefore, it is necessary to design a simple converter kit, affordable by the community, and can be supported on two different fuels. This study redesigned the manual converter kit with a research focus on aluminum gas mixer components with variations in the number of intake mixers (1, 2, and 3) and added mixing zones in the mixer area, using 110 cc single cylinder motorized engine with carburetor fuel system with a variation of 1500-9000 rpm. Engine performance testing is done using a chassis dynamometer. The use of LPG fuel in various types of input mixers is able to increase torque and power on the engine. Engine performance test data shows that the best torque value on the use of LPG materials in input mixer 1, 2, and 3 holes respectively are 17.44 Nm, 16.77 Nm and 11.71 Nm, while for gasoline fuel is 16 Meanwhile, the value of power in the use of LPG fuel with the input of mixer 1, 2 and 3 holes is capable of producing maximum power respectively 7.1 Hp, 7.4 Hp and 7.3 Hp, while for gasoline fuel at 7.7 Hp. The use of LPG fuel with the number of 1 hole mixer input is the best variation compared to gasoline fuel and the number of mixer inputs in the other variations.
