Abstract

The development of composite materials is increasingly widespread, which require superior mechanical properties. From many studies, it is found that the mechanical properties of composite materials are influenced by various factors, including the reinforcement content, both in the form of fibers and particle powder. However, those studies have not investigated the effect of the hardener weight fraction on the mechanical properties of resin composite materials. Even though its function as a hardener is likely to affect its mechanical properties, it might obtain the optimum composition of the reinforcing content and hardener fraction to get the specific mechanical properties. This study examines the effect of hardener weight fraction combined with fiber powder content on mechanical properties of EPR-174 epoxy resin matrix composite and determines the optimum of Them. The research was conducted by testing a sample of composite matrix resin material reinforced with coconut fiber powder. The Powder content was made in 3 levels, i.e.: 6%, 8%, and 10%. While the hardener fraction of resin was made in 3 levels, i.e.: 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6. The test results showed that pure resin had the lowest impact strength of 1.37 kJ/m2. The specimen with a fiber powder content of 6% has the highest impact strength i.e.: 4.92 kJ/m2. The hardener fraction of 0.5 has the highest impact strength i.e.: 4.55 kJ/m2. The fiber powder content of 8% produced the highest shear strength i.e.: 1.00 MPa. Meanwhile, the hardener fraction of 0.6 has the highest shear strength i.e.: 2.03 MPa.

Abstract

The Al 6070 is the side plate material of the MTR-fuel plate bundle. These post-irradiation mechanical properties will be used in the side plate cutting process to obtain certain plates from the MTR-fuel plate bundle. This activity is part of a series of post-irradiation test processes from the MTR-fuel plate bundle in order to determine its performance. After testing in the form of a bundle (assembly), then continued testing of certain plates from the bundle. Disassembly of the plate is carried out by cutting along the two side plates (aluminum alloy) that clamp the plate. The mechanical properties of the workpiece material are important factors that affect the conditions of the machining (cutting) process. Prediction of post-irradiation mechanical properties was carried out using the change percentage of before and after irradiation of other aluminum alloys. The prediction carried out with the Si transmutation as the dominant one affects the post-irradiation mechanical properties changes in aluminum alloys. The change percentage added the mechanical properties of the pre-irradiated side plate material of the MTR-fuel plate bundle. Pre-irradiation testing of the Al 6070, namely chemical composition tests, pre-irradiation mechanical properties tests, including hardness tests (micro), and tensile tests (max stress, yield stress, and % elongation). Prediction of changes in mechanical properties of side plate material (aluminum alloy, Al 6070) before irradiation, compared to after irradiation is: hardness value from 98.51 to 127 (gf/µm2), tensile strength from 265.371 to 398 (N/mm2), the yield strength from 204.2 to 306 N/mm2.

Abstract

The utilization of air conditioners (AC) will consume a lot of electricity in the world. According to the predictions of the International Energy Agency (IEA) electricity consumption for AC will be the main trigger for soaring world electricity demand in 2050. Data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) in March 2017 showed 7.98 percent of households in Indonesia use AC. The wind speed coming out of the condenser in an AC with a capacity of 0.5-2 PK has an average speed of 4.83 m/s. This research will test the potential electricity that can be generated from air blowing from an AC with 2 types of generator prototypes. Both types of generators will be tested directly on the AC exhaust unit. The test results show that with an average wind speed of 4.83 m/s, the vertical blade generator with 12 blades installed can produce up to 7 volts, and on the horizontal blade generator with 6 coils, each coil has 300 turns, the voltage is up to 14.82 Volts. The conclusion from this research is that the horizontal blade generator is sufficient to supply electricity to the battery before consumption.

Abstract

One of the problems often encountered in vibration analysis is unbalanced or imbalanced, namely the occurrence of a shift in the center of mass from the center of rotation to cause high vibrations. Unbalance itself is divided into two, namely static and dynamic unbalance. Identification of the right type of unbalance must be done because each type of unbalance requires different handling. Therefore, this study aims to design a system to identify the type of unbalance based on the required parameters. The system design determines the input and then builds an algorithm by combining vibration analysis methods and Bayesian networks (BN). Systems and applications are built using MATLAB. After the application is finished, testing is carried out using vibration measurement data obtained from a demo machine that has previously been conditioned for damage. The BN method has been successfully applied to the unbalance diagnosis system. When there is evidence of large amplitude in 1X the frequency spectrum and the value of the static phase range, the percentage of static unbalance from 26.8% increases to 75%. The system can predict all testing data quickly and precisely for the six experiments.

Abstract

Dari data PT PLN Unit Induk Wilayah NTT didapatkan bahwa masih terdapat 352 desa yang belum teralirkan listrik dari PLN. Salah satu desa di NTT yang belum mendapatkan akses energi listrik adalah Desa Kojagete yang terletak di Kabupaten Sikka. Penduduk desa ini tinggal di pesisir pantai dan memiliki mata pencaharian sebagai nelayan. Desa Kojagete tergolong dalam desa tertinggal karena mayoritas penduduknya hidup dalam kemiskinan dan keterbelakangan. Untuk dapat mengurangi permasalahan hidup yang dialami oleh penduduk Desa Kojagete, perlu adanya sebuah solusi teknologi produk penelitian yang dapat memenuhi kebutuhan masyarakat terhadap akses energi listrik. Rekacipta yang diaplikasikan adalah Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Surya (PLTS) berbasis Internet of Thing (IoT) yang merupakan suatu sistem yang paling cocok untuk wilayah pesisir pantai NTT yang memiliki curah matahari dengan intensitas yang sangat tinggi. Penerapan PLTS juga merupakan salah satu upaya mendukung sustainable development goals (SDGs) yang mana akan mengurangi pembakaran bahan bakar fosil yang menghasilkan karbon dioksida (CO2), karbon monooksida (CO) dan material-material partikulat yang dapat meningkatkan emisi gas rumah kaca. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini dilakukan dengan beberapa tahap yaitu: penentuan lokasi, survey lapangan, perakitan dan uji coba, implementasi dan Monitoring dan evaluasi. Dari penerapan sistem pembangkit listrik tenaga surya yang dilengkapi dengan kontrol berbasis IoT ini, menghasilkan kapasitas listrik sebesar 8.500 watt peak, yang digunakan untuk mengalirkan listrik ke 48 rumah dan 3 (tiga) buah fasilitas umum, yaitu Masjid, Sekolah (SD), dan Posyandu.

Abstract

One of the most technologically advanced methods for developing and adhering catalysts to the FeCrAl substrate is electrophoretic deposition. However, it faces a problem: low thermal stability at high temperatures of 10000 °C, caused by a lack of a protective oxide layer. The goal of this study is to investigate the protective oxide layers formed by Al2O3 and NiO coatings on FeCrAl metallic material for catalytic converters (CATCO). The electrolyte was prepared with distilled water at a constant temperature of 40±50 °C. The pH was adjusted to 5 with HCl and NaOH reagents. The electrolyte was prepared at 40 ± 50 °C and stirred for 1 minute using a magnetic stirrer. A 50mm x 10mm Ni plate substrate served as the anode, while a 40mm x 20mm FeCrAl cathode was used. The spacing between the anode and cathode was set at 25mm. The electroplating was conducted for several variation times of 15, 30, 45, 60 and 75 minutes, current density of 8 A/dm2, 3g γ-Al2O3 was inserted into the beaker for each sample and the total surface area was 1600mm2 on both sides. Drying was performed after electroplating at 600 °C for 12 hours.  Raman spectroscopy revealed that several compounds observed during the experimental stages, such as FeCrAl, γ-Al2O3, NiO, NaO2, NiAl2O4, NiCr2O4, and FeCr2O3, were also present in the coated FeCrAl CATCO, with distinct peaks. Therefore, it can be concluded that the UB+EL 30 min successfully deposited the γ-Al2O3 and NiO on the FeCrAl substrate after CATCO fabrication.
