Abstract

This research presents the design and manufacture of thermal conductivity test equipment using heat transfer techniques (steady state) with the ability to test materials at high temperatures. The design of this test equipment is an extension of the ASTM D5470-06 standard, where the same is used to calculate the surface temperature and heat transfer through the sample during the test, where at each reference rod point, 10 K-type thermocouples are embedded. The maximum heater power required by the reference rod with a heating time of 1 hour is 30.4 KW. This test tool uses 3 pieces of 500-Watt power, and Thermoelectric TEC1-12706 12 Volt 6 Ampere 40x40 mm, Heatsink, 12 Volt DC Fan 0.15Ampere 38x38 mm, to keep the test at a steady state. And the use of Thermal Paste to minimize thermal contact resistance. From the calculations, it can be seen that the faster the time needed to heat the reference rod will require greater heater power, and vice versa. For high temperatures, this tool can reach a test temperature of 100 ℃. This research was conducted to measure the thermal conductivity of stainless steel, iron, wood, rubber, and Styrofoam. After the measurement, the thermal conductivity of stainless steel was 15.14037 W / mK Reference 14.00 W / mK, iron 41.07 W / mK Reference 79.5 W / mK, wood 1.54 W / mK Reference 0.21 W / mK, rubber 0.6 Reference 0.2 W / mK, Styrofoam 0.062 W / mK Reference 0.095 W / mK. Thus, further research is needed on the method of measuring the thermal conductivity of metals by transient means.

Abstract

Composites are materials that have specific properties based on their constituent materials. The constituent materials consist of binders and reinforcements. Reinforcing materials come from synthetic fibers and natural fibers. Natural fibers can be waste that is wasted in the environment. These wastes include bagasse waste and clam shells. These wastes are made into fibers. Resin is mixed with fiber and blowing agent, then stirred until evenly distributed and poured into the mold, resulting in a composite material. This study aims to obtain the strength of composite materials due to three-point bending loading with the laminate fiber layer method. The manufacture of this test specimen uses bagasse powder and clamshell powder formed with a casting system. This material consists of 4 layers. The first and third layers are clamshell powder, and the second and third layers are bagasse powder. The fiber sizes of the specimens are 300mesh, 400mesh, and 500mesh. The fiber fraction ratio was 10% and 15%. The models were laminated and tested for three-point bending. The best results were found in the 500 mesh fiber size specimen, with a fraction ratio of 85% resin and 15% clam shell powder and bagasse. The maximum stress obtained was 63.46 MPa and strain 0.59 mm, with a bending force of 487.42 N.

Abstract

Machines are tools used to simplify work processes. Within a machine, there are several main components that form the framework for its construction. These components must possess strong qualities in order to perform their functions effectively, one of which is the use of steel. Steel is a commonly utilized material in various sectors, including factories. An example of this can be seen in palm oil mills, where numerous components such as wall pipes, generating pipes, and heat pipes are made from steel. However, steel has a tendency to corrode, which can reduce its strength and shorten the lifespan of steel components. Therefore, it is crucial to calculate the remaining life of each pipe as a preventive measure. The calculation results indicate that the remaining life of the wall pipe is approximately 32 years, while the generating pipe has around 29 years, and the heater pipe has about 11 years of remaining life. In this case, the wall pipe has the longest remaining life, whereas the heater pipe has the shortest due to its continuous exposure to heat. The purpose of this research is to analyze the corrosion rate and remaining life of components made from steel materials, such as wall pipes, generating pipes, and heat pipes, in order to prevent damage caused by corrosion in palm oil mills.

Abstract

Reinforced concrete is a crucial element in infrastructure. However, it is unfortunate that the issue of corrosion in reinforced concrete structures has a significant impact and requires detailed consideration. Since the 1980s, research on corrosion-related problems has been initiated, one of which involves the SACP (Sacrificial Anode Cathodic Protection) approach using Zn sacrificial anodes. The purpose of this method is to control the corrosion rate in reinforced concrete. Environmental factors, such as the composition of solutions, play a role in influencing the resulting corrosion rate. Therefore, research is conducted by applying different solutions, namely 4% and 5% NaCl solutions, as well as Freshwater. This aims to compare the effects of these solutions on the measured corrosion rate using Zn anodes. The test results over a 4-week period indicate that the 5% NaCl solution exhibits a very high corrosion rate, as evidenced by the corrosion potential value of -790.3 mV. Conversely, the freshwater solution demonstrates a lower corrosion rate, with a corrosion potential value of -225.6 mV and a corrosion risk of only around 10%. This research provides a deeper understanding of the impact of solutions on the corrosion rate in reinforced concrete and offers a more scientific and contemporary perspective in line with current developments.

Abstract

The demand for electricity is continually increasing. Typically, electrical energy is generated using fossil fuels such as coal in thermal power plants. Generally, these power plants or other electricity generators supply power to densely populated areas such as large cities. Remote areas, however, often lack access to electricity due to their distance from urban centers. One solution to this issue is the development of micro-hydropower plants (MHPs). In MHPs, turbines are generally made of metal, which has high inertia and thus leads to lower efficiency. Therefore, this study replaces the turbine in an MHP with one made of fiberglass to assess the material's resistance to the water pressure in MHP operations. Based on the research conducted, the allowable stress for the fiberglass was determined to be 11.59801 MPa, with the water pressure applied to be 0.000985 MPa.
