27 Days Left

27 Days Left, what's this means?, it means 27 days left for me before i go back to my country. 27 days left to enjoy the snow, spend time with my friends here, do research in my Laboratory and get the lecture from my Sensei and still many activities to do in this 27 days like attending the Introduction to PARE III, etc. lastly, I have to use this 27 days as efficient as i can and enjoy this time left. I know we don't have much time left, but i hope we all will enjoy this 27 days left (for me).

Hatsumode and Hatsuhinode

Konnichiwa,

Happy New Year everyone, how was your fuyuyasumi (ふゆやすみ), it's great isn't it?.

Today i would like to write about my activities during New Year, and this is my first experience to celebrate the new year outside of my country. So, i didn't know the tradition about new year activities in Japan. Then, i search the information in the internet and i found Hatsuhinode and Hatsumode. So, i decided to do Hatsuhimode and Hatsumode.

1. HATSU HINODE, (初日の出)
Hatsuhinode is seeing the sun rises in the first day of the New Year.  So, i decided to do the Hatsuhinode at Moiwayama. I go to Moiwayawa using cable car, and arrived there at 6.30 AM. when i arrived there the place is very crowded, so i didn't get the good place for see the Hatsuhinode, and the weather is cloudy, so it's hard to see the sun. but after waiting 30 minutes, finally the sun has seen and many people take the photo of that scenery. it's very beautiful there but very cold hahaha. Then after that i go to Shrine for to see Hatsumode.

2. Hatsumōde (初詣, hatsumōde)
Hatsumode is the first shrine visit on the New Year. I arrived there at 12.00 AM, and i see many people gathered there to do the praying, outside of the shrine there are many people selling food that looks very delicious, so i bought many of the food ( takoyaki, dorayaki, grilled squid, potato cake ), after finishing my food, i go back to my dormitory.

So, that;s all of my story, thank you very much..

Good Bye 2014, and Welcome 2015.. Hope we will do much better in this year.
Yoi Otoshiyo..

HU - ITB Symposium

Konnichiwa, Mada des.

Last week, there are Symposium in Hokkaido University with ITB ( Institut Teknologi Bandung ) held by Faculty of Engineering. In this Symposium there are 8 Lecturer from ITB comes, which is 4 of them is my lecturer in Mechanical Engineering faculty. In this Symposium every person present about their research and introduce about the education system in their University, so we can exchange the information and compare the education system.

The Pare and Symposium handout.

In this Symposium, the PARE program also introduced by Hatano-Sensei, and after the presentation, we discuss together to improve the output of PARE program.

Hatano Sensei present about PARE program.

Last, after the Symposium we took a picture together, and we ate lunch together at Elm restaurant. and with this symposium we hope ITB and Hokkaido University will cooperate together and will work together in the future, maybe made a program like a joint research program, dual degree program, exchange program, etc, 

I and Sugi take photo together with ITB lecturer and Kobayashi Sensei.

That's one of my activity during my stay in this campus.

Thank you, and keep fighting

Snow

Hi, how are you ?, Today,when i wake up and see through the window that the snow falls very heavily, so i decided to not come to my japanese class and waiting for the snowfall to calm down. as time goes by, the snowfall frequency is higher and higher, and the temperature become colder and colder. Now, Sapporo become white and very slippery, be careful if you walk in the snow (especially when the snow is melting) because it's very slippery.


13 Dec 2014, I with other Indonesian student performing a flash mob. What is flash mob?, flash mob (or flashmob) is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and seemingly pointless act for a brief time, before quickly dispersing. They are often used for the purposes of entertainment, satire or artistic expression. 

flash mob with friend

Take a picture after flash mob

We do 3 kind of dancing, the first one is asmaradana performed by Charisa, Dhina, and Utami. Then, Jaeho dancing performed by Isma Rosyida, this dancing is very funny and make japanese people laughing. and then the last dancing is poco poco performed by every one and with this song we performing the flash mob, and it's sucess.

Thank You for reading,
See you next time.

Weekend Activities

こんにちわ みんなさん

Every saturday or sunday(どようび  と にちようび) in akashia sports center, International students of Hokkaido University always gathered to playing sports, we ( i and shofa ) always join the event because we are very like sports especially Futsal. it starts at 10 am to 1 pm, in that 3 hours we divided the time into 1 hour for 1 kind of sport, we always play Badminton, Futsal, and Volleyball.


This is the picture before playing

Before playing we divided into 3 group

Take a picture together after playing (everybody is tired)

That's is what i always do on the weekend, playing sports with other international students. if you want to join, just came to Akashia in Kita 22 Higashi 1, next event will be held on Saturday 13th December 10 am - 1 pm.
lets play together :).


Okay, thank you for reading, and see you again for the next session.

ありがとう ございます

22 November 2014

November 22 2014,
Students from Indonesia that have lived in Japan, make an event called "Indonesia Cultural Night" or Malam Budaya. In that event we (Pare Students : Azis, Sofa, Sugi, Dailami, Ulfi, Laura, Yeni, Ria)  showed a performance with the Indonesian Traditional Instrument that we called "Ängklung". So, i don't have to explain about angklung because Rara-san have explained it, and then we played the Indonesian drama about Roro Jonggrang and 1000 Temple that Yunita-san has explained the story of the drama before.

We are very nervous on that day because many people come, and this is the first time i do some theatrical performance. but at last, we are very happy because many of the audience was very happy and they said they like the drama even they don't know the language.

After the drama, we take the photo together.

This is the photo after we played the drama, funny isn'r it?

This will be one of my great memories for the PARE program.

Okay, Thank you guys for your attention..
See you again and keep healthy....

Jikken

Konnichiwa,

Finally, my experiment has started, after waiting 2 months to get all of the tools ready for the experiment, as i mentioned before that my research in my laboratory is about Redox Flow Battery. My experiment is to know the effect of the electrolyte flow rate in the Battery. So, by increasing the flow rate it can make the system more efficient but if it increases too much the system efficiencies will go down because to supply more flow, it needs more power. So my research is to analyze the optimum value of the flow rate.

This is the pump to adjust the flow rate.

So, that is a little explanation for what i'm doing in my laboratory.

Thank you for reading my post and Good luck for all of you, and take care for your health because the temperature now become colder and colder.

Ganbatte Kudasai !!

Self Introduction

Hello everyone, 


My name is Mohammad Azis Mahardika, and you can call me "Mada", My friend Tomoya said that the word "Mada" have 2 meaning, the first meaning is "Not Yet" and the second meaning is "Future" sugoooi. hahaha..

I am a Master student in Institut Teknologi Bandung and my major is mechanical engineering and now I'm study in Faculty of Engineering as a member of Energy Conversion Laboratory with Chikahisa sensei as my supervisor. My research is about fuel cell in this laboratory.

I still remember the summer school program, 2 weeks that gave me such experience and from that experience I learnt many things from the program. and thank you very much for all my summer school friends. i hope we can meet again in the "future".

PARE Summer School Final Report 2014 (Mahardika Mohammad Azis)


PARE SUMMER SCHOOL 2014
Final Report
(Submission Deadline: 18th September 2014)

University
:
Institut Teknologi Bandung
Name
:
Mohammad Azis Mahardika
PARE ID No.
:
PARE26-009
Group No.
:
4

You will write a report (500 words) on your group’s discussion.
In the report, you will:
A)      propose how you can contribute as a specialist to realize your group’s master plan, and
B)      propose a title of research paper related to the master plan.

a.    My master plan is to make a human waste to be useful by making it into fuel for biogas plant and fertilizer for plant. As we know the human waste now is stored in the septic tank and mixed with the waste water in the sewage and it can be source of diseases for human, whereas human waste can be used to generate electricity and become fertilizer to plant. So, As a mechanical engineer specialist, for the beginning I can contribute to help the design of biogas plant component such as the biogas plant generator and other tools for biogas plant. To design the component, first I have to know the amount of human waste produced per day, then I can calculate how many biogas such as CH4 produced, then I can design the generator capacity that fit with the amount of the biogas produced. After that I can involved in maintenance of the biogas plant so it will be sustain for a long time and I can improve the efficiency of biogas plant by researching and developing the technology for the biogas plant. The problem for the biogas plant is the cost to construct it. But if we see the benefit of the human waste for biogas plant such as it can reduce green house gas (GHG) as we know that CH4 GHG factor is 21 times higher than CO2, so by convert the CH4 into CO2 it will reduce the impact of GHG, biogas plant can saves fossil fuels and it is source of renewable energy. with this many benefits I think it’s worth to build the biogas plant and for the cost problem we can ask government to help funding the biogas plant or we can find communities that support the green technology to help funding our master plan.
For the fertilizer, we used the waste after it processed from the digester, and processed to become fertilizer. As for waste water used in our plant, it can be processed to become fresh water by some method using a membrane to filter the waste water and the purified water can be used for irrigation.

b.    The title I propose is “Increase efficiency for biogas plant”, based on the article from http://www.electrigaz.com/ we know that generally the efficiency of the biogas plant is around 25 to 40 %, so it still low and theoretically it can increase. There are 4 method so we can improve the efficiency of the biogas plant such as substrate pretreatment, fermentation, biogas purification, biogas utilisation. And according to my major I choose the substrate pretreatment method to improve the efficiency for biogas plant. Substrate pretreatment is treatment to make the substrate (human waste) smaller and dry, so the biogas such as CH4 will be produced more, and the time to produce the biogas (fermentation) is faster, so it will save time and increase the efficiency of the biogas pant, there are many ways to treat the substrate such as ultrasonication, extruder, bursting reactor, mills, and etc.
