Abstract

Used engine oil is a waste from various types of machinery that has potential as an alternative fuel. The viscous characteristics of used engine oil require viscosity adjustment to be utilized as fuel. Nowadays used engine oil burners are generally using an external heater as an initial preheater, which causes the thermal efficiency decreased. The aims of this study are optimizing the design of the used engine oil burner by adding an initial heater and to find the optimum operating conditions of the burner to improve thermal. The initial heater is a spiral-shaped heat exchanger around the flame inside the burner, using its heat to decrease the viscous of used engine oil, so the used engine oil can be used as burner fuel. This study is varying the combustion air flowrate at 3.2×10-3 kg/s, 4.6×10-3 kg/s, and 6.4×10-3 kg/s and fuel rates of 2.1×10-4 kg/s, 3.1×10-4 kg/s, and 4.3×10-4 kg/s so the best performance of the burner will be observed. The results were obtained the best burner performance air flowrate of 4.6×10-3 kg/s and fuel flow rate of 4.3×10-4 kg/s, producing flue gas heat of 544°C, useful energy of 2.69 kW, and a resulting thermal efficiency of 59.54%. Keywords: Burner, Design optimization, Initial heater, Used engine oil, Viscosity.

Abstract

When operating drone sprayer, such as to distribute pesticides, downwash is the major cause of damage on the plants. Therefore, understanding the mechanical properties of plants are important to be able select the proper drone to use. In this research, characteristics of leaf strength and flexibility of two types of shallots were investigated, namely the Batu Ijo and Birma varieties. Research on the characteristics of the strength and flexibility of shallots was carried out from the 3rd to the 8th week for the Batu Ijo and 9 varieties of Birma, 100 samples each week. The strength of the leaf was measured by pulling the leaf until it breaks by attaching a thread to the base of the leaf which is pulled by a force gauge device. Then to measure its flexibility by pulling the top of the leaf with the thread that is pulled until it touches the ground surface. From this research, data on the strength characteristics of the leaves of the Birma variety 29 N that is much stronger than the Batu Ijo variety 8.9 N got obtained. Meanwhile, for the flexural characteristics, the Batu Ijo variety was 5 N with pressure P 0,113 N/cm2 more flexible than the Birma variety 3.3 N with pressure P 0,087 N/cm2. The minimum bending strength of the leaves for the two varieties F is almost the same, where for the Batu Ijo variety F 0.044 N with P 0.005 N/cm2 and for Birma varety F 0.041 N with pressure P 0.009 N/cm2. Based on the characteristics of this minimum bending, it becomes the basis for optimizing the design of the drone sprayer blade.

Abstract

This research focuses on designing a control system for pesticide applicator robots on rice plants. Control is carried out via radio wave communication using a transmitter-receiver (Flysky FS-iA6 2.4 GHz). The remote can control the robot wheel (forward, backward and turn), boom sprayer (raise-fall and open-close), and spray pump. The research method is carried out using the waterfall model because it is under the needs that require a sequential flow in the process. The test results show that the use of a bevel gear gearbox can increase the torque value up to 3 times. The use of 4 electric motors further increases the stability of the robot's movement (RPM and torque) when given the maximum load of the robot. The boom sprayer successfully opens-closes and fluctuates smoothly at the optimum value of PWM 50 and voltage 2.35. The time required for the boom sprayer to open-close, and rise-fall is 30 s. The relay which functions as a switch is successfully controlled, so that the pump can be activated and deactivated in mode 2 at the input. Transmitter-receiver communication test was successfully carried out. Transmitter-receiver communication is capable of up to a distance of < 150 m. Input mode 1 on the transmitter successfully controls the boom sprayer. Input mode 2 successfully controls the motion of the wheels and pump.

Abstract

Muddy paddy fields cause the traction performance of conventional traction devices to be suboptimal. Research on the analysis of traction performance on various traction devices is needed. The objective of this research is to design, analyze traction performance, and determine the best design from three models of traction devices, i.e. 1) track type, 2) pedal type, and 3) screw type on deep muddy soil. The research method used in this study is experimental, testing the traction performance of the three models at soil bin in muddy soil conditions at 25 cm deep. The parameters measured during the traction performance test are slip, sinkage, and traction efficiency. The treatment used in this study is a vertical load ranging from 93.2 N to 222.7 N. The best traction device design was chosen using the Analytical Hierarchy Process method. The results show that the traction performance achieved the highest score in determining the best traction device design, with a score of 0.78 (track) for the minimum load, 0.83 (track) for the medium load, and 0.87 (track) for the maximum load. Therefore, the track design was ideal, scoring the highest across all parameters.

Abstract

The Jajar Legowo rice transplanter has been proven to significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of rice planting, delivering better quality and uniformity. However, mobility on terraced land remains the primary challenge, thereby hindering the adoption of this technology by farmers. This study aimed to redesign the jajar legowo rice transplanter into a modular system to improve adaptability and ease of transport in such terrains. The research consisted of two main stages: module determination which included functional analysis, weight assessment, and component interconnection evaluation, while design analysis employed Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to assess structural strength and reliability through stress simulation. The findings indicated four main modules for the transplanter, namely: main transmission module, wheel module, feeding transmission module, and floating module. The module components have a maximum weight of 62.9 kg, which can be feasibly transported by two operators. The transmission neck interface and wheel transmission sustained operational loads of 700 N and 1000 N, respectively, with corresponding safety factors of 1.7 and 1.9. This study successfully developed a modular design for the jajar legowo rice transplanter machine that can be effectively used on terraced field. The design meets three critical adaptability indicators: (1) module weights remain within the lifting capacity of a maximum of two operators, (2) sufficient structural strength is maintained to endure operational loads, and (3) the assembly and disassembly process is achieved without the need for additional tools, minimizing the risk of component loss in the field.   Keywords: Interface, Jajar legowo, Module, Rice transplanter, Stress analysis.

Abstract

Granulated palm sugar requires efficient drying to meet industrial quality standards and accelerate production. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of a prototype rotary dryer in reducing moisture content to a maximum target of 2.5%. Tests were conducted at rotation speeds of 23.83±0.1 RPM and 41.83±0.1 RPM with drying durations of 1, 2, and 3 h using a 500-g batch capacity. All treatments were performed in triplicates, and successfully reduced moisture below the 2.5% target, meeting SNI 01-3743-2021 and the company’s internal standards. The optimal condition, determined using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method, was 23.8±0.1 RPM for 1 h, resulting in a final moisture of 2.4%, a product loss of 14.4%, and the lowest energy cost of IDR 821. Higher rotation speed increased the product loss to 55.07% due to centrifugal forces and uneven heat distribution. Sugar adhering to the cylinder walls highlighted the need for improved fin design and airflow. Future development should incorporate stable heating, expanded rotation speed (15–50 RPM) and temperature (60–80°C) variations, and automatic controls for small- to medium-scale food industry applications.
