Abstract

Mechanical seals in industrial pumps play a critical role in preventing heat transfer fluid leakage, especially under high-temperature operating conditions. A key component of this system is the seal head, which functions as a compression mechanism through a spring to maintain contact between sealing surfaces. However, the spring's performance can deteriorate due to the accumulation of deposits resulting from prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures, operating pressure, and fluid degradation—ultimately leading to seal failure and fluid leakage. This study aims to investigate the thermal stability of the reservoir fluid Therminol 66 (TM-66) and its impact on seal performance under long-term thermal exposure. The methodology includes direct observation of failed seals, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) at temperatures of 75, 150, 250, and 350 °C for durations of 3, 6, and 12 hours, and chemical characterization using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Additionally, thermal degradation behavior was assessed through activation energy estimation based on weight loss data obtained from TGA. FTIR results revealed that phenylcyclohexane is the dominant compound in TM-66, with a relative intensity of 0.803119. The thermogravimetric data demonstrated that higher temperatures and longer exposure times significantly accelerated fluid evaporation and mass loss. The activation energy analysis confirmed that thermal degradation is more likely to occur under extended high-temperature conditions. These findings highlight the importance of maintaining reservoir fluid temperature below 75°C to minimize deposit buildup in the seal chamber and ensure the long-term reliability and efficiency of the mechanical seal system.

Abstract

The casting process is widely used because it has the advantage of being able to make products with small dimensions to very large dimensions, the use of materials is more efficient, the casting products can be directly used. However, in the casting process, the main triggers for the formation of defects are the nature of the mold, low permeability, low molding compressive strength, low sintering point, unsuitable sand grain distribution, so research is needed to obtain the right type of molding sand as a sand mold in metal casting. The only type of additive is bentonite. Bentonite can absorb water and expands between 8-15 times and remains dispersed in water for a certain period of time. This study aims to examine the effect of a mixture of variations of local bentonite and Australian bentonite on the characteristics of the molding sand for the sand casting process. The tests carried out are in the form of size distribution testing, X-Ray Diffraction, water content testing, compressive strength, and permeability measurements. Bentonite was varied into 5 variations of the mixture with a difference of 20% in each mixture. The results of the large size distribution of silica sand grains were 37.6 GFN. The results of XRD testing of local bentonite showed a higher content of calcium compounds and Australian bentonite contained higher sodium compounds. The largest water content test value is 5.825%. The largest compressive strength test value is 2.7 Kgf /cm2.

Abstract

The results of an experiment that used an orthogonal Taguchi method to improve shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) were given. The SMAW method was used to join dissimilar metal of SPHC and St. 30. SPHC material has a low carbon steel content, while St. 30C steels contain a medium amount of carbon steel, which is used for tractor shaft axles. Carbon percentages vary slightly between the two substances. This study aimed to achieve the highest possible quality of tensile strength by utilizing the specified SMAW parameters. SPHC material has a low carbon content, whereas St. 30 steel has a moderate carbon content. This study used the Taguchi experimental method with three input variables and three experimental levels. The SNR ratio is used to evaluate the most optimal SMAW performance. ANOVA analysis is used to evaluate the most crucial parameters in determining the response variable. This research has successfully provided input on the combination of SPHC and St. 30C for SMEs. It operates effectively with a welding current of 133 A, a welding voltage of 9 V, and a filler diameter of 2.0 mm. The S/N ratio analysis found that the welding current, voltage, and filler diameter all had a significant impact on the outcome.

Abstract

The car body repair process is integral to vehicle development and structural repair. The primary objective of this study is to enhance the quality of thin material welding utilized in automobile body repair. The impetus for this research stems from the necessity to improve the structural integrity and longevity of thin materials prone to deformation throughout the welding procedure while minimizing distortion. This study aims to identify optimal parameters for the tungsten inert gas welding (TIG welding) process on thin materials, particularly for automobile body rearrangement. The Taguchi method conducted the experimental analysis of variations in welding parameters, including electrode diameter, gas flow rate, and welding current. Adjusting TIG welding parameters to their optimal values significantly improves weld joint direct tensile load (DT-load) and overall structural quality, according to the findings of this study. ANOVA analysis and the S-N ratio indicate that gas flow rate and welding current are significant determinants of the quality of welded joints in thin materials. This research contributes to a better understanding of the optimal parameters for fusing thin materials, particularly in automobile body repair. The automotive industry can use these findings as a guide to enhance the quality and strength of welding processes, which are critical to the structural integrity of vehicles.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the performance enhancement of an induced draft cooling tower through modifications to the water distribution piping line, as well as to evaluate the thermal and hydraulic performance before and after modification. The initial system exhibited relatively low cooling effectiveness due to uneven water distribution and limited heat transfer between air and water within the tower. Therefore, the piping layout was redesigned to improve flow uniformity, enlarge the air–water contact area, and minimize heat losses, thereby enhancing overall cooling efficiency. The experimental tests were conducted under identical operating conditions with an inlet water temperature of 38 °C. The results showed that the outlet water temperature decreased from 33.78 °C (before modification) to 28.95 °C (after modification). The range increased from 5.17 °C to 9.12 °C, while the approach decreased from 4.68 °C to 2.61 °C, indicating a more effective cooling process approaching ideal conditions. Furthermore, the cooling capacity showed a substantial increase from 21,717.4 kW to 61,515.1 kW, signifying that the modified cooling tower can dissipate a greater amount of heat and support higher cooling demands in industrial operations. In addition, the system effectiveness improved from 52.45% to 77.58%, demonstrating a significant enhancement in heat transfer efficiency as a result of improved fluid distribution. On the other hand, the total head loss increased from 39.11 m to 63.71 m, indicating higher flow resistance due to the new configuration, but it remained within acceptable limits. Overall, the study concludes that modifying the piping line in the induced draft cooling tower significantly improves thermal performance, cooling effectiveness, and capacity, making the redesigned configuration a viable approach to increase the efficiency of large-scale industrial cooling systems..

Abstract

This study examined the thermohydraulic efficiency of a novel Solar Heat Exchanger (SHX) designed for cooling solar panels. The SHX was specifically created for 20 Wp solar panels measuring 450 × 350 mm. The cooling medium was a hybrid nanofluid (HNF) consisting of Al₂O₃ and SiO₂ nanoparticles (0.5–1%) suspended in a base fluid of ethylene glycol and water (EG/W) at a 10:90 ratio. Experiments were performed using flow rates ranging from 1 to 3 LPM. The HNF coolant demonstrated enhanced performance in the solar heat exchanger, with a maximum heat transfer rate increase of 56.07% compared with that of the base fluid. This improvement in the heat-transfer rate was associated with an increase in the heat-transfer coefficient, which was influenced by the flow rate and volume fraction of the HNF. The effectiveness of the HNF surpassed that of the base fluids by approximately 117%. The results indicated that higher flow rates and volume fractions improved cooling performance. The enhanced cooling efficiency and innovative SHX design make this study particularly relevant to the development of solar panel cooling systems, particularly those employing hybrid nanofluid coolants.

Abstract

Inside the electric car charger there is a controller where one of the components is the Disc Ceramic Capacitor (DCC) type SCF2E472M10 coated with epoxy powder EF150AB. The faster the charging, the higher the temperature, for that we need good performance on the capacitor layer. The method used in this study is to test the Pressure Cycle Temperature (PCT) with a temperature of 121 ° C, a pressure of 2 bar and a holding time of 48 hours and a Thermal Shock Test with a temperature parameter of -40 ° C to 125 ° C for each temperature change. 30 minutes for 100 hours, the number of test samples for each test is 20. From the test results, it was found that the average capacitance value on the PCT test was 4439.9 pF with a standard limit value of 3760 to 5640 pF, then the average value of Insulation resistance (IR) after the PCT test was 14183 Ω with the standard limit of the IR value of 10000 Ω. From these results it can be concluded that epoxy powder EF150AB is good for DCC coatings because the coating is resistant to low and high temperatures, which ranges from -40 ° C to 125 ° C.
