Development of Lightweight Concrete Masonry Units with Oil Palm Ash
The objective of this research was to find an appropriate mixing ratio of concrete with oil palm to produce concrete masonry units with properties equivalent or better than other conventional masonry materials. By trying out method the best proportion of Portland cement: sand: oil palm ash was found at 1:1:2 by weight. The ratio yielded a lightweight concrete with an average density of 766 kg/m3 and average compressive strength of approximately 90 kg/ cm2 which is higher than the minimum requirement of Thai Industrial Standards (TIS) 58- 2533 (1990) of 75 kg/cm2. Water absorption of this proportion was at an acceptable standard level of 20% by weight. From cost analysis the cost of a wall made with the obtained masonry units was about 100 baht per square meter cheaper than lightweight masonry units sold in the market. However the heat conductivity (K) was similar (0.194 W/mk). Moreover the manufacturing process of these masonry units is simple and can be run as a small local enterprise.
Development of Thai Instant Curry Products for Export Industry
The results revealed that the methods were done by various ways. It was found that Tom Yum curry was developed into instant Thai Tom Yum curry powder by drying Tom Yum set in the hot air oven and grinding into powder. Red curry was developed by blending the ingredients together to make curry paste drying the paste and grinding into powder. Green curry was developed into dry and wet combination and curry powder. After being sterilized the dry one was dark in color and gave different taste and smell from fresh green curry paste. The latter was similar to green curry powder. Pa-naeng curry was developed by drying the curry paste in the hot air oven. It was considered as the good property of curry. Whereas Pa-naeng curry cube can be produced by combining with chemical substances and forming the cube by using the blocking machine. Tai Pla curry (Fish innards curry) was developed into powder type by blending the ingredients together to make Tai Pla curry drying the paste and grinding into powder. It was seen that all of curry powder could be kept longer and easily.
The Development of The Packages for Banana Flour Bakery
The purposes of this research were to develop 10 items of the packages of bakery’s banana flour and to conduct the technology transfer of those packages for the community. The research process involves with package pattern analysis monitoring and operating package design making package sample evaluating package sample finishing the package target group setting creating the research methodology investigating need analysis training course setting conducting the training course and data analysis. The results of the study were 10 styles of the packages. It was found that the mean of the satisfaction evaluation was at 3.76. Need analysis for bakery courses are mostly found in brownies. There was significantly difference between pre-test and post-test scores of the experiment at 0.05 level of significance. The mean of the groups’ achievement evaluation was at 3.95-4.18. Program and training process evaluation was qualified as the mean was 4.62 and 4.54 respectively.
The Development of the Packages for Thai Herbal Cookies
The purposes of this operation research were to develop the packages of Thai herbal cookies and to conduct the technology transfer of Thai herbal cookies’ packages for the community. The research process which involves with packages’ pattern analysis monitoring and operating packages’ design making packages’ sample evaluating packages’ sample finishing the package target group setting creating the research methodology investigating need analysis training course setting conducting the training course and data analysis. The results of the study were 11 styles of herbal cookies’packages. The mean of the achievement in satisfaction evaluation was at 3.92. Need analysis for cookies courses are found in lemon grass cookies kaffir lime leaves cookies ginger cookies mixed herbal flavour and coriander cookies respectively. There was significantly difference between pre-test and post-test scores of the experiment at 0.05 level of significance. The mean of the groups๛ achievement evaluation was at 3.50-4.49. Program and training process evaluation qualified as the mean of the products and their packages was 4.28 and 4.34 respectively.
Development Program for Heat Balance Analysis and Boiler Combustion Efficiency Control
This research aimed to improve combustion burning system of boiler and to increase burning efficiency and use all out of the energy. The large boilers were used in the industrial factories which consume a lot of energy for production. The Increasing oil and gas fuel costs everyday cause many factories interested in energy saving with any technical engineering methods specifically for production costs and environment effect decreasing. This research program software was installed and invented for the industrial factory. This industry factory consumed cogeneration energy for fabric dying. The efficiency before installing the software is measured about 65.85-71.98% and heat loss by 50% of overall energy in the system. After installing heat loss in the system has been fallen to 5-12% and efficiency of heat in system has been reached a peak of 80-85%.
