Abstract

The university of Mataram car suspension and its control was designed to minimize the vibration produced by unwanted external inputs i.e., changes of road contours that reach the car passengers. This effort will provide the passenger with higher safety and comfort. In this study, a quarter car model with two degree of freedoms (2 DOF) was designed and developed its mathematical model. The effects of the road contour were studied and analyzed in term of overshoot and settling time that affect the main body, suspension as well as the passenger. The MATLAB Simulink model was programmed to mimic the behavior of the suspension and its response to the input which was the road contour (step function). This approach was very helpful to reduce the effort, time and money. The result shows that with implementation of the design parameters chose, the responses of the system (displacement and velocities) were satisfied the criteria of comfortable (there are no overshoot), however, the settling time was seconds that much higher than expected which will disturb the passenger comfort. This point shows that the suspension design needs further improvement with consideration of using active suspension with adequate control system.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of varying the inclination angle of the glass cover on the performance efficiency of a solar distillator. The angles investigated were 35°, 40°, and 45°, with the main observed parameters being the amount of distilled water produced and the thermal efficiency of the system. An experimental method was employed using a single-basin type solar still tested under natural solar radiation conditions. The results showed that the glass inclination angle significantly affects the performance of the distillator. At a 35° inclination, the distillator produced the highest volume of distilled water compared to the other two angles. Thermal efficiency also reached its maximum at this angle, indicating that a shallower glass angle allows for more effective heat absorption and condensation. In contrast, at 40° and 45°, both the distillate output and efficiency decreased. This is presumed to be due to an increased reflection angle of solar radiation and reduced energy absorption by the water in the basin. The study concludes that a glass inclination angle of 35° provides optimal performance for solar distillation under the specific geographical and climatic conditions in which the experiment was conducted.
