Abstract

It is important to maintain every machine affecting the process of making sugar to ensure excellent product quality with minimal losses and to accelerate productivity and profitability targets. The centrifuges are widely used in industry today with some being very difficult and critical for surgery, and the collapse of the engine has the ability to cause expensive damage. One of these is the centrifugal machines, and they are expected to be efficient to produce high-quality sugar. Meanwhile, an efficient diagnostic tool to predict the correct time for centrifugal repair is vibration signal analysis namely by attaching the accelerometer sensor to the location of the centrifugal bearing to produce vibration data that is ready to be analyzed. Still, the process requires sufficient insight and experience. The manual method usually used is complicated and requires a lot of time to obtain results of a centrifugal diagnosis. Therefore, this study was conducted to design an intelligent system to diagnose centrifugal vibrations using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). The situation is involved in applying and training the concept of vibration analysis from spectrum data to ANN to produce diagnostic results according to the spectrum diagnosis reference. The results obtained were quite good with the largest cross-entropy value of 10.67 having 0% error value with the largest Mean Square Error value being 0.0023 while the smallest regression was 0.993. The test conducted on nine new spectrums produced eight true predictions and one false. The system can provide fairly accurate results in a short time. Classification quality improvement can be made by adding training data.

Abstract

The heat exchanger highly influences the series of cooling processes. Therefore, it is required to have maximum performance. Some of the factors causing a decrease in its performance are increased pressure drop in the Plate Heat Exchanger (PHE), decreased output flow, leakage, flow obstruction, and mixing of fluids. Furthermore, it takes a long time to conclude the diagnosis of the performance and locate the fault. Therefore, this study aims to design an intelligent system for the performance diagnosis of the PHE using the Bayesian Networks (BNs) method approach. BNs are applied to new problems that require a new BNs network model. The system was designed using MSBNX and MATLAB software, comprising several implementation stages. It starts by determining the related variables and categories in the network, making a causality diagram, determining the prior probability of the variable, filling in the conditional probability of each variable, and entering evidence to analyze the prediction results. This is followed by carrying out a case test on the maintenance history to display the probability inference that occurs during pressure drop on the PHE. The result showed that the BNs method was successfully applied in diagnosing the PHE. When there is evidence of input in the form of a pressure drop, the probability value of non-conforming pressure-flow becomes 61.12%, PHE clogged at 73.59%, and actions to clean pipes of 70.18%. In conclusion, the diagnosis carried out by the system showed accurate results.

Abstract

The use of condensers in air conditioning units is more common in large-capacity units than in ones with a smaller capacity. Air conditioning provides comfort and freshness to an air-conditioned room. It should be noted that each room has a different heat load, which affects the specifications of the condenser used. The accuracy with which appropriate condenser specifications are determined affects the performance of the air conditioner. Thus, considering how important condenser needs are, it is necessary to design condensers with optimal performance, which adhere to proven standards. To achieve this, the design of a condenser should be based on the results of the smallest condenser dimensions of three types of surfaces, as they are intended for a limited place. This condenser design uses the standard dimensions of the Kays and London charts. Data is collected by measuring the results of temperature and enthalpy of a refrigerant at desuperheating and condensation, inlet air temperature, outlet air temperature, refrigerant mass flow rate, and air mass flow rate. The results of the compact condenser design are based on existing data, which is obtained from the smallest design results. The result uses the type of Surface CF-8.72(c) with a heat transfer area of 0.259 m2, a total tube length of 9.5 m, crossing tube length 0.594 m and a pressure drop of 3778 Pascal (Pa) on the side of a tube. This design fulfills the stipulated requirements, as the pressure drop is less than the specified maximum limit in most units.

Abstract

A classifier plays a crucial role in the cement industry. It is in charge of separating coal that has been smoothened out and is ready to be burned although the coal is still rough after going through the grinding process. It takes a long time to burn coal that is not perfectly processed with a classifier. Therefore, it will reduce the amount of cement production, and the factories will release more energy. The closed arrangement and the number of components in the unit classifier requires a sophisticated method to detect damage that occurs early. Vibration analysis is a method that has been effectively employed in detecting the initial damage that occurs to the engine, especially the classifier. This study was aimed at detecting the location of the damage occurring in the classifier by using a vibration signal analysis and by measuring the magnitude of vibration and presenting it to the frequency domain (spectrum) form using Fast Fourier Transform. Engine condition assessment referred to ISO 10816-3 standard in velocity and displacement modes. Based on data spectrum analysis, the dominant damage laid in the unbalanced rotor. Spectrum characteristics of the damage appeared to be in the spectrum line worth 438.01 μm at a 3.5-Hz frequency (1X) radially. This analysis proved to be supported by the decrease in vibration value to 18.65 μm after balancing the Classifier rotor.

Abstract

Spoiler attached on the rear part of a car can generate drag force and negative lift force, called downforce. This drag force can increase air resistance to the car, meanwhile, a negative lift force can improve the car’s stability and safety. Refer to many researchers, the shape and the angle of the spoiler give different aerodynamic effects and therefore give a different value of drag force and lift force. Based on these facts, this study was focused on the analysis of different spoiler angle attached to a mini MPV car to drag and lift force generated by the spoiler. The method used in this study is a numerical simulation using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique. The analysis was carried out at different spoiler angle and car’s speed. The spoiler angles are -20o, -10o, 0o, 10o, and 20o. The car’s speeds are 40 km/h, 60 km/h, 80 km/h, 100 km/h, and 120 km/h. Then the drag and lift force and their coefficient generated by different spoiler angles were being investigated at specified speeds. The result shows that higher spoiler angles generate higher drag and lower lift. Spoiler angles higher than 0o generate negative lift force, otherwise generate positive lift force. Therefore, to increase a car’s stability and safety, it is recommended to use a spoiler angle higher than 0o. Based on the result, it is best to use spoiler angle 10o because it generates negative lift force with -0.05 lift coefficient and 0,68 drag coefficient.

Abstract

The use of a spray-dryer is very popular in the drying process in the food and beverage industry. However, due to the properties of the sensitive product that the quality will degrade in drying at high temperature, the innovative design of spray-dryer is developed which can increase the heat transfer rate at moderate temperature. This research was conducted to develop a spray-dryer design to improve thermal-hydraulic performance, with a high transfer rate and low-pressure drop at such a temperature. The design varies by several inlets categorized as design A with one inlet, design B with two inlets, and design C with three inlets. This simulation uses ANSYS FLUENT17, and the independence of the mesh was evaluated to improve the result of the simulation. The efficient mesh number is obtained from the independence of the mesh at around one million. The result shows that design C has the lowest pressure loss and the highest transfer rate due to high vortex and swirl flow generation, improving the mixture quality and direct contact between droplet and dry-air.

Abstract

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid-state bonding process that employes tools that are not used up and can function to connect two opposite workpieces without melting the workpiece material. The friction force has been micro-structurally tested to reformat or transform the inner state of the structure properties (atomic formation) form in metal since the kinetic energy of friction has been utilised in one of the welding techniques. Right afterwards, the studies reported that the mechanical properties also underwent a significant deformation. The aim is to determine the effect of Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) product quality. As it develops through research and applied experiments, the branch of friction-based welding discipline can be classified depending on how the friction mechanism can produce the finest solid-state joint, which is suitable to the typical property of metal and can be maximised by joint configuration. Friction Stir Welding is a friction-based welding technique that uses the stirring tool to generate friction while the workpieces are stuck on the line of the FSW joint configuration. The relevant correlations amongst process parameters and inside its respective adjustable variables are constructed to the finest principles that produced top-grades empirical reports of the weld properties. In this review, the explanation of the working principle and clarification of process parameters are presented. The cited references are selected from creditable and verifiable articles and books in the last ten years. Expectedly, it will be able to pioneer a new face of simple and understandable review articles.

Abstract

Vibration analysis identifies emerging vibration problems before they become unmanageable and cause unforeseen delays. This can be accomplished by monitoring engine vibration continuously or at specific intervals. Unbalance is a common vibration issue caused by the center of mass shifting from the center of rotation, leading to misalignment and excessive vibration between shafts. To prevent this, manual monitoring is required, but it is time-consuming. Therefore, intelligent system monitoring is necessary to save time. Using a large amount of vibration, spectrum, and phase data as input, this project aims to develop a diagnostic application for motor problems based on vibration signals. Fuzzy logic is implemented in MATLAB software to process a considerable amount of input data for all vibrations, spectrums, and phases using the fuzzy logic method. A vibration meter is used to collect vibration data from the demonstration machine. All input data will be processed by the fuzzy system based on predefined fuzzy rules that must provide accurate results for the actual operating conditions of the demonstration machine. Conducting experiments will help the intelligent system correctly detect damage from misalignment and imbalance. The intelligent fuzzy logic system can accurately diagnose damage caused by misalignment and unbalance on the demonstration machine.

Abstract

The motivation for this research is the high vibration observed during the operation of the centrifugal cooling water pump. Our study aims to assess the pump's state and check the vibrations to ensure the factors underlying the fault of the centrifugal pump in the alkaline chlorine factory. While previous studies have primarily used spectral amplitude results from the Fast Fourier Transform to analyze engine vibrations, we propose a different approach in this study. We employ the Finite Impulse Response (FIR) Bandpass Filter and the Welch Method, a practical analytic approach. The ISO 10816-3 standard is a benchmark of the RMS value to determine the pump's condition. The FIR Bandpass Filter and Welch Method prove to be highly effective in describing and modifying the vibrational signals of the centrifugal pump. The approach is particularly beneficial as it is consistent across sample rate settings, reduces the vibration of amplitude low, produces a smoother spectrum with only the primary frequency component, and segments the vibration signal into the frequency band-aids to identify the primary vibration source. The diagnostic results reveal increased vibrations at 1x, 2x, and ball pass frequency (BPF), indicating impeller damage and disappearance. Post-repair, the vibration value experiences a significant drop, as per the fault analysis results, further confirming the high effectiveness of our approach. These findings have practical implications for the maintenance and fault diagnosis of centrifugal pumps, providing a reliable and effective method for identifying and addressing issues.
