19-06-2023
Two students from the 2021 batch of the Bachelor’s program in Chemical Engineering, Lubbi Ilmiawan Sembiring and Siti Aisahasnati, under the supervision of Dr. Heri Septya Kusuma, S.Si., M.T., have successfully published an article titled "Microwave-assisted drying of Cymbogopon nardus leaves: Kinetics, moisture diffusivity, energy, and emission study" in the "Journal of Stored Products Research."
This is an extraordinary achievement as the "Journal of Stored Products Research" is a highly reputable international journal indexed in the Scopus Q1 database and ranked among the Top Tier journals (Top 20 in the world by category). It is not easy and requires a considerable amount of time to get published in such a journal.
In this research conducted by Lubbi Ilmiawan Sembiring and Siti Aisahasnati under the guidance of Dr. Heri Septya Kusuma, S.Si., M.T., the study discusses the kinetics, effective moisture diffusivity, activation energy, CO2 emissions, and energy consumption in the drying process of Cymbopogon nardus (Lemongrass) leaves using the microwave-assisted drying (MAD) method. The full article can be read at the following publication link: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0022474X23000565#abs0015
Dr. Heri Septya Kusuma, S.Si., M.T., is a lecturer in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Industrial Engineering, Universitas Pembangunan Nasional "Veteran" Yogyakarta, with a Scopus h-index of 29, the highest among the faculty at the university.
