Berdasarkan pengujian yang sudah dilakukan sebelumnya bahwa nilai minor losses aliran fluida dapat dikurangi dengan menambahkan serat alami ke dalam fluida dan juga menggunakan pipa spiral. Percobaan dilakukan dengan mengukur pressure drop. Tujuan pengujian ini untuk meneliti pengaruh penambahan serat alami dalam larutan air. Pada pengujian ini diameter pipa spiral yang digunakan adalah 21,7 mm dan campuran yang diteliti adalah campuran serat-serat alami. Serat bambu dan serat kelapa dengan konsentrasi 500 ppm dan 1000 ppm tiap seratnya. Nilai bilangan Reynold yang diuji antara 12000 sampai dengan 40000. Dari hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa fluida campuran dengan kandungan serat yang semakin besar mengakibatkan nilai minor losses yang semakin kecil dibandingkan dengan fluida air murni. Penurunan nilai minor losses paling maksimal adalah 34 % pada bilangan Reynold 37000 dengan konsentrasi 1000 ppm. Penyebab penurunan nilai minor losses ini karena serat merupakan drag reduction agent dimana dengan sedikit penambahan konsentrasi saja dapat mengurangi tegangan geser fluida. Maka dari itu, semakin banyak konsentrasi serat yang digunakan maka akan semakin menunjukkan nilai jatuh tekanan yang semakin kecil. ......Based on test has been done before that minor losses of fluid flow can be reduced by adding natural fibers into the fluid and also using spiral pipe. The experiment were conducted by measuring the pressure drop. The purpose of this test is to analyze the effect of natural fibers addition in fluid water. In this test, spiral pipe with 21.7 mm diameter and natural fibers mixture was used. Bamboo fiber and coconut fiber with a 500 ppm and 1000 ppm for each fiber. Range of Reynolds number tested was between 12000 and 40000. From the test result showed that fluid mixture with greater fiber concentrate made minor losses value was less than water. The maximum minor losses value reduction is 34% at 37000 Reynolds number with 1000 ppm concentration. Minor losses value reduced because fiber is drag reduction agent where a slight increasing in concentration can reduce fluid shear stress. Therefore, the more fiber concentration it will show that the value of the pressure drop be smaller.

Natural fiber-reinforced composites have the potential to replace synthetic composites, leading to less expensive, stronger and more environmentally-friendly materials. This book provides a detailed review on how a broad range of biofibers can be used as reinforcements in composites and assesses their overall performance. The book is divided into five major parts according to the origins of the different biofibers. Part I contains chapters on bast fibers, part II leaf fibers, part III seed fibers, part IV grass, reed and cane fibers, and finally part V covers wood, cellulosic and other fibers including cellulosic nanofibers. Each chapter reviews a specific type of biofiber providing detailed information on the sources of each fiber, their cultivation, how to process and prepare them, and how to integrate them into composite materials. The chapters outline current and potential applications for each fiber and discuss their main strengths and weaknesses.

The use of natural fibres as reinforcements in composites has grown in importance in recent years. Natural fibre composites summarises the wealth of significant recent research in this area. Chapters in part one introduce and explore the structure, properties, processing, and applications of natural fibre reinforcements, including those made from wood and cellulosic fibres. Part two describes and illustrates the processing of natural fibre composites. Chapters discuss ethical practices in the processing of green composites, manufacturing methods and compression and injection molding techniques for natural fibre composites, and thermoset matrix natural fibre-reinforced composites. Part three highlights and interprets the testing and properties of natural fibre composites including, non-destructive and high strain rate testing. The performance of natural fibre composites is examined under dynamic loading, the response of natural fibre composites to impact damage is appraised, and the response of natural fibre composites in a marine environment is assessed.
