Storage of wheat flour requires good temperature and humidity to avoid mold growth that can damage the nutrients in wheat flour. The temperatures and humidity required for proper storage are above temperatures and humidity below 60% RH. The method used in flour storage is FIFO (First In First Out) using a Load cell sensor as a marker for flour input. The incoming flour will input the time, location and amount of flour, so that it can be easily determined which flour will come out first. To facilitate monitoring of temperature, humidity and stock amount in flour storage in this study, sending monitoring data wirelessly using an internet network that can be accessed anywhere. The test results of this study show that the DHT22 sensor can measure temperature and humidity well, which has a RE (Relative Error) value of 0.5% temperature and 3.9% humidity compared to the HTC-1 measuring instrument. The load cell test compared to digital scales has an accurate value using a linear formula. In the QoS test, sending sensor data to the web server has a good value according to the ITU-T standard, namely delay <150ms

This study discusses the infusion detection device in a hospital room. This tool is designed to help hospital nurses to cope more quickly to avoid problems due to the infusion. Load cell sensors are used as heavy detectors that send notifications to the nurses through the telegram application that has been installed. The nurse will get a notification message sent to the telegram if the sensor has read the weight. The tool is made using a load cell sensor and NodeMCU Wi-FiESP866 which functions to send notification of the results of sensor data input to the Internet of Things (IOT) platform namely Telegram. Nurses need to be connected to the internet network to get notifications on the telegram. Test results show that the time needed to send and receive notifications on Telegram takes about 2-5 seconds. The message will be sent 3 times, first the infusion WARNING is almost exhausted (alert), second the infusion WARNING is almost exhausted (standby) and the infusion WARNING is almost exhausted (please replace). If the infusion is not replaced by the nurse, it will be warned by Buzzer. However, time can be influenced by the available internet network connectivity. However, time can be affected by the available internet network.

AbstrakAglaonema merupakan tanaman hias daun yang memiliki nilai keindahan pada variasi daun, baik motif warna maupun bentuk daun. Aglaonema tumbuh pada suhu 24-270C dan kelembaban 65-75%, serta tidak terkena sinar matahari langsung. Untuk mendapatkan kondisi ideal maka aglaonema ditempatkan didalam sebuah greenhouse. Sehingga dirancanglah sebuah sistem yang dapat memantau suhu, kelembaban serta pengendalian penyiraman tanaman secara otomatis pada greenhouse. Adapun alat yang digunakan untuk merancang sistem ini adalah sensor DHT22, mikrokontroller Arduino uno, relay, selenoid valve, ethernet shield dan pompa air. Sensor ditempatkan pada 3 loakasi di dalam greenhouse yakni zona atap, zona dinding dan zona tanaman. Pemantauan dilakukan melalui web server dalam bentuk tabel dan grafik. Hasil pengujian didapatkan bahwa sistem ini dapat bekerja dengan baik. Dht22 dapat membaca suhu dan kelembaban dengan margin error dari pengukuran ini yakni suhu 0,410C dan kelembaban 2,56%. Pompa air bekerja dengan batasan yang telah ditentukan, ketika melebihi batas maka relay menyala dan pompa air bekerja. Hal ini sudah sesuai dengan yang diharapkan. Pengiriman data hasil sensor ke server dapat membaca dengan benar, hasil pengujian nilai sensor pada serial monitor dan di web server memiliki nilai yang sama, meskipun teradi delay. Web server dapat menampilkan data suhu dalam bentuk grafik dan tabel. Suhu dan kelembaban ideal berhasil berhasil dilakukan. Rata-rata suhu dan kelembaban ruangan sebelum menggunakan sistem yakni 30.20C dan 56,86%. Sedangkan rata-rata suhu dan kelembaban ruangan setelah menggunakan sistem yakni 27.850C dan 73,99%. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa terjadi penurunan rata-rata suhu sebesar 2.350C dan kenaikan kelembaban sebesar 17.13%.AbstractAglaonema is a leaf ornamental plant that has a beauty value on the variation of leaves, both color and leaf shape motif. Aglaonema grows at 24-270C and humidity 65-75%, and it’s not exposed to direct sunlight. To get ideal conditions aglaonema placed in a greenhouse. So designed a system that can monitor the temperature, humidity and control of plant watering automatically on the greenhouse. The tools used to design this system are DHT22 sensor, arduino uno microcontroller, relay, selenoid valve, ethernet shield and water pump. The sensors are placed in 3 loacations within the greenhouse in the roof zone, the wall zone and the plant zone. Monitoring is done through a web server in the form of tables and graphs. Test results found that this system can work well. Dht22 can read the temperature and humidity with the error margin of this measurement ie temperature of 0.410C and humidity 2,56%. The water pump works with a predetermined limit, when it exceeds the limit the relay lights up and the water pump works. This is as expected. Delivery of the sensor data to the server can read correctly, the test results of sensor values on the serial monitor and on the web server have the same value, although delay occurs. The web server can display temperature data in the form of graphs and tables. Ideal temperature and humidity successfully performed. Average temperature and humidity of the room before using the system that is 30.20C and 56.86%. While the average temperature and humidity of the room after using the system that is 27.850C and 73.99%. This shows that there is a decrease in the average temperature of 2.350C and humidity increase of 17.13%.

<p>The standard creep and shrinkage strain measurements of concrete are usually conducted in a laboratory with constant temperature and humidity with a low variation. The creep and shrinkage measurements are conducted over a few months with the expectation that small concrete specimens can sufficiently describe the evolution of the rheology effects on a large multi-span bridge in the course of its operating life.</p><p>The monitoring of real bridge structures shows the actual progression of the deflections and concrete strains. Unfortunately the evaluation and interpretation of the measured values is complicated. The idea of the scientific Creep &amp; Shrinkage project was to combine the two described situations (laboratory experiments and monitoring of real bridge structures) creating an experimental setup which would benefit from the advantages of both approaches.</p><p>In order to achieve conformity of the measured test results with those of theoretical models (MC 2010, EC) it was necessary to upgrade the current models to include the effects of changing temperature and humidity. Within this paper the upgrade of the current standard models to include changing environment conditions will be elaborated, in addition to an explanation of the method used to separate shrinkage strains from the temperature strains from the measured data. The measured concrete expansion coefficients will also be discussed.</p>

In this paper the authors will present the design and preliminary test results for a distributed electric generating system that uses renewable energy source for economical load-following and peak-shaving capability in an oil-free, high-speed micro-turboalternator system using compliant foil bearings and a permanent magnet alternator. Test results achieved with the prototype system operating to full speed and under power generating mode will be presented. A comparison between predicted and measured electrical output will also be presented up to a power generating level of 25 kWe at approximately 55,000 rpm. The excellent correlation between design and test provides the basis for scale up to larger power levels. Based upon the turboalternator test results a thermodynamic cycle analysis of a system using low grade waste heat water at approximately 100 C will be reviewed. The tradeoff study results for a series of environmentally friendly refrigerant working fluids will also be presented including sensitivity to vaporization and condensing temperatures. Based on the cycle and pinch point analyses predicted maximum output power was determined. Finally a preliminary turbine design for the selected R134a working fluid was completed. The results of this study show that a net output power level of greater than 40 kW is possible for approximately 240 l/m flow of water at 100C is possible.

Temperature and humidity are important parameters in the operation of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), which have an important impact on the performance of fuel cell. Fuel cell test platform is an important tool to study the performance of fuel cells, and its temperature and humidity control module is also the key in the research process of the test platform, so that it can provide the gas with precise temperature and humidity control during the test process of the fuel cell. In this paper, a humidifier combined with bubbling and spraying is adopted for the application of test platform, and the numerical simulation model of the humidifier is established. According to the model, the influence of operating conditions of humidifier on humidification performance is verified, such as inlet air velocity and the humidifying water temperature. The results indicate that the inlet air velocity and the humidifying water temperature have great influence on the humidifying performance of the humidifier. The humidifying performance decreases with the increase of the inlet air velocity and increases with the increase of the humidifying water temperature respectively. In addition, the humidification performance of the humidifier is verified.
