Abstract

The vehicle's power comes from the engine, which uses combustion to transform the chemical energy of the fuel into mechanical energy. The combustion temperature will have an impact on the engine's operating temperature if this situation is not adequately cooled. According to some literature, the PH adjuster additive is a combination of chemicals that works to raise the PH and alkalinity of water to improve the state of the water atoms for the cooling process. However, the process of cooling a vehicle radiator with water from the engine is very hot, so further study is required. Additionally, this PH adjuster may condition the water to your specifications. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the outcome of adding the PH adjuster additive composition to the radiator water of the 160 cc Vario motorcycle. The approach is a descriptive methodology based on the outcomes of experiments. According to research based on the experiments carried out in this study, adding 3% PH Adjuster additives at 1000 rpm will produce the best engine performance. The amount of additives added also had an impact on the radiator performance of the 160 cc Vario motorcycle

Abstract

Compact heat exchanger (CHE) banyak digunakan pada sistem pendinginan mesin termal karena memiliki rasio luas permukaan terhadap volume yang tinggi sehingga mampu meningkatkan efektivitas perpindahan panas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis karakteristik perpindahan panas pada compact heat exchanger dengan variasi konfigurasi sirip spiral berpotongan serta mengevaluasi kinerjanya menggunakan pendekatan bilangan Reynolds–Nusselt. Penelitian dilakukan secara eksperimental menggunakan pipa galvanis berdiameter luar 22 mm dengan panjang laluan 300 mm. Sirip spiral terbuat dari aluminium dengan ketebalan 0,3 mm, tinggi 10 mm, dan jarak antar sirip 30 mm. Variasi konfigurasi meliputi tanpa sirip, tanpa berpotongan, serta sirip spiral berpotongan 2 mm, 5 mm, dan 7 mm. Fluida kerja berupa air panas dengan temperatur inlet konstan 80°C dan laju aliran massa 0,57 kg/s, sedangkan pendinginan menggunakan aliran udara dengan kecepatan 3,59 m/s; 4,45 m/s; dan 5,07 m/s. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan kecepatan udara meningkatkan bilangan Reynolds dari 4.936 hingga 6.971, yang menunjukkan bahwa aliran telah berada pada kondisi turbulen. Seiring dengan peningkatan bilangan Reynolds, bilangan Nusselt juga mengalami peningkatan pada seluruh konfigurasi pengujian, yang menunjukkan meningkatnya intensitas perpindahan panas secara konveksi. Di antara seluruh konfigurasi yang diuji, konfigurasi sirip spiral berpotongan 5 mm menghasilkan kinerja termal terbaik, dengan laju perpindahan panas maksimum sebesar 11.682,7 W dan koefisien perpindahan panas konveksi sebesar 604 W/m²·K. Peningkatan kinerja tersebut dipengaruhi oleh intensifikasi turbulensi aliran serta gangguan lapisan batas termal akibat geometri sirip. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa variasi konfigurasi sirip spiral dan peningkatan kecepatan aliran udara berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kinerja perpindahan panas pada compact heat exchanger.

XXX menggunakan boiler tabung api berbahan bakar batubara sebagai uap. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis pengaruh nilai kalor batubara dan laju feed water terhadap terhadap efisiensi boiler tabung api 10 ton menggunakan teknik langsung. Data penelitian berasal dari lembar catatan operasi boiler untuk tiga periode pengamatan yaitu 3 Februari, 6 Februari, dan 9 Februari 2025, dengan durasi pengamatan 24 jam. Nilai batubara yang digunakan sekitar 24.001 kJ/kg, 22.644 kJ/kg, dan 23.121 kJ/kg. Menurut hasil penelitian, batubara dengan nilai kalor 24.001 kJ/kg menghasilkan efisiensi rata-rata tertinggi sebesar 78%, sedangkan batubara dengan nilai kalor 23.121 kJ/kg menghasilkan efisiensi rata-rata terendah sebesar 72%. Suhu udara rata-rata berkisar antara 83,0°C, 77,4°C, dan 73,4°C selama berbagai periode pengamatan. Temuan analisis menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan suhu dan suhu batubara feed water dapat meningkatkan efisiensi boiler, sedangkan peningkatan laju feed water berpotensi menurunkan efisiensi boiler. Akibatnya, efisiensi boiler tidak hanya dipengaruhi oleh kualitas bakar tetapi juga oleh kondisi operasi sistem. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan penyesuaian terhadap kedua faktor tersebut untuk mencapai kinerja boiler yang optimal.

Abstract

Pada sistem distribusi air bersih di gedung bertingkat, pompa pendorong (Booster pump) diperlukan untuk mengkompensasi perbedaan ketinggian dan kehilangan energi pada sistem perpipaan. Kinerja pompa sangat dipengaruhi oleh head loss akibat gesekan sepanjang pipa dan fitting yang digunakan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mempelajari kinerja pompa pendorong CDX/I 120/20 IE3 pada sistem distribusi air bersih menuju tangki atap Gedung Bank BUMN Surabaya dengan perhitungan head loss dan kesesuaian kapasitas pompa dengan kebutuhan sistem. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah observasional dan analitis, meliputi pengukuran dimensi pipa, identifikasi fitting, dan perhitungan parameter aliran menggunakan persamaan Darcy-Weisbach dan koefisien kehilangan energi fitting. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa total head loss sistem adalah 11,06 m, yang terdiri dari head loss mayor sebesar 9,58 m dan head loss minor sebesar 1,48 m. Kehilangan energi utama terjadi pada pipa berdiameter 1,5 inci dengan kontribusi sebesar 61,7% terhadap total head loss. Perhitungan Total Dynamic Head (TDH) memberikan nilai 39,06 m. Sebaliknya, head maksimum pompa adalah 40,50 m. Ini berarti margin head yang tersedia hanya 1,44 m. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa pompa masih mampu memenuhi kebutuhan distribusi air ke tangki atap pada ketinggian ±28 m, meskipun bekerja mendekati batas kapasitas operasionalnya. Oleh karena itu, optimasi sistem perpipaan diperlukan untuk meningkatkan kinerja sistem dan keandalan distribusi air.
