Abstract

Centrifugal pumps are widely used in industry and civil engineering to move fluids by increasing pressure efficiently. This study analyzes the effect of valve opening variations on series and parallel pump configurations simultaneously using a laboratory experiment method with two repetitions. The results show that parallel pump configurations are generally more efficient than series, especially at 50% and 25% valve openings. The maximum efficiency is achieved at 75% valve opening with a value of around 33% for both configurations. Valve opening settings and pump configuration selection are very important to improve the performance and efficiency of pressure piping systems. It is recommended for small industries to use parallel pump configurations with optimal valve opening operations of around 75% for energy efficiency and cost savings. Developing an automatic valve opening control system is also recommended to maximize efficiency, extend equipment life, and optimize fluid distribution.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of a Waste-Oil-Fueled Furnace (WOFF) as an alternative heat source in the melting process of recycled Al-3004 aluminum. The melting was carried out using the sand casting method at a pouring temperature of approximately 730 °C, while measurements indicated the furnace could reach ±900 °C, exceeding the melting point of Al-3004 (±660 °C). The cast specimens were subsequently quenched in three media: water, oil, and air. Microstructural observations revealed that the cooling rate significantly affected crack formation: water quenching produced the largest cracks, oil quenching produced medium-sized cracks, and air cooling produced the finest cracks. Micro Vickers hardness testing supported these findings, showing significant differences in hardness values across the quenching media. Overall, the study confirms that the waste-oil-fueled furnace is an effective alternative energy-based metal-melting technology, while the choice of cooling medium plays a crucial role in controlling the material's microstructural features and mechanical properties.

Abstract

The performance of a continuously variable transmission (CVT) system on a small-capacity automatic motorcycle is highly dependent on two adjustable components: roller mass and pulley angle. However, most previous studies have relied on a one-factor-at-a-time approach, adjusting either roller mass or pulley angle separately, thus their combined and interactive effects on engine performance have not been well quantified. This study addresses this gap by simultaneously optimizing roller mass and pulley angle on a 109.5 cc SOHC eSP automatic motorcycle to optimize engine power and torque. A Custom Design-based Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was applied, and thirteen experimental runs were tested on a dynamometer, with roller masses ranging from 11.4–15.6 g and pulley angles from 12.8°–14.2°. A Two-Factor Interaction (2FI) model was developed and evaluated using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Both models are highly significant (p 0.0001), with pulley angle identified as the dominant factor and the interaction (A × B) between roller mass and pulley angle statistically significant for both responses. Numerical optimization based on the desirability function yields an optimal configuration at a roller mass of 11.4 g and a pulley angle of 13.597°, which delivers an engine power of 4.777 W and an engine torque of 7.29 N•m with a desirability of 0.522. This validated predictive model quantifies the roller–pulley interaction and provides practical engineering guidelines for tuning automatic motorcycle CVTs to balance power and torque.

Abstract

The ever-increasing global energy demand necessitates the development of environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative fuels. Biodiesel is a potential solution, mainly when produced from used cooking oil through the transesterification process. This study aims to evaluate the effect of reaction time on the calorific value of biodiesel using the linear regression method. The calorific value was chosen as the primary parameter because it reflects the energy produced by the fuel. The study analyzed experimental data correlating the transesterification reaction time with the biodiesel calorific value. The results showed that the optimal reaction time was 80 minutes, yielding the highest calorific value of 41.35 MJ/kg, exceeding the ASTM D6751 standard. However, the effect of reaction time on calorific value was not statistically significant, with a P-value of 0.67 and a regression coefficient of 0.02. The decrease in calorific value after 80 minutes is likely caused by overreaction, reducing efficiency. The findings indicate that reaction time is not the sole factor influencing biodiesel calorific value. Future research recommendations include incorporating variables such as reaction temperature and raw material molar ratio to enhance model accuracy. This study is expected to provide a foundation for developing high-quality biodiesel that meets international standards.

Abstract

  This study analyzes the effect of steam pressure variations from a small boiler on the mechanical performance of a Robinson Engine at a maximum pressure of 2.5 bar. A quantitative experimental method was applied with four pressure variations (1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 bar). Performance parameters measured included rotational speed, torque, and power, with LPG fuel and water volume maintained as control variables. Results show a significant positive relationship between steam pressure and engine speed; increasing pressure from 1.0 to 2.5 bar raised the speed from 526.2 to 975.6 rpm. These findings highlight the dominant role of steam pressure in engine performance and provide initial quantitative data for developing micro-scale renewable energy-based power plants.

Abstract

This article analyzes the durability of electrical energy in palm fruit cutter machines as an efficient and environmentally friendly innovation in the field of harvesting tools. The machine is designed using a 12V 15A DC motor that converts the rotary motion into translation through a crank slide mechanism, powered by a 35Ah battery. Tests were carried out on oil palm trees 3–5 meters high by monitoring power consumption and operating time. The results show that cutting thick fronds requires 15 Watts/minute, while thin ones require 11.25 Watts/minute. The effective operation duration reaches 1 hour and 52 minutes. Performance factors are influenced by battery condition, cutting load, transmission efficiency, and cutting tool design.

Abstract

The condenser plays a crucial role in determining the efficiency of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) essential oil distillation by facilitating heat transfer and vapor condensation. This study analyzes the effect of varying operating conditions on the heat transfer rate, Log Mean Temperature Difference (LMTD), condenser effectiveness, and citronella oil production. The evaluation involved three test variations, comparing heat transfer parameters and condenser performance. The results indicate that the heat transfer rate increased from 152,438.27 W in Variation I to 170,963.54 W in Variation II, reaching 186,544.68 W in Variation III. This increase was accompanied by a rise in the LMTD value from 25.18°C to 29.74°C, an improvement in condenser effectiveness from 81% to 89%, and an increase in the conversion of condensate vapor mass into citronella oil from 28% to 36%. These results demonstrate that the increase in heat transfer rate is directly proportional to condenser effectiveness and the success of the condensation process. Variation III represents the optimum operating condition, as it yielded the most efficient heat transfer and the best condenser performance during the citronella leaf distillation process.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of varying reaction times (60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 minutes) at a temperature of 65℃ and a rotation speed of 1050 rpm on the density and iodine number of biodiesel. The raw material used for biodiesel production is waste cooking oil. This study employs esterification and transesterification processes by reacting catalysts with methanol mixed with waste cooking oil. The catalyst concentration variations used in this study are methanol at a ratio of 1:2 and 0.5% NaOH of the total waste cooking oil. The transesterification product is then settled for approximately 10 minutes. The resulting biodiesel and glycerol are separated, after which the biodiesel is washed with distilled water at 50℃ and evaporated at 90-100℃. The density test results for the catalyst concentration of methanol at 1:2 and 0.5% NaOH showed values of 858.5 kg/m³ for reaction times of 60, 70, and 80 minutes, 858.7 kg/m³ for 90 minutes, and 858.4 kg/m³ for 100 minutes. The iodine number test results showed values of 87.2 for 60 minutes, 88.3 for 70 minutes, 90.2 for 80 minutes, 92.3 for 90 minutes, and 82.3 for 100 minutes. The research findings indicate that the obtained density and iodine number meet biodiesel quality standards and are suitable for use according to ESDM regulations.

Abstract

Biodiesel is a potential alternative to replace diesel because its raw materials are renewable and environmentally friendly. One of the raw materials used is waste cooking oil. The high content of free fatty acids in waste cooking oil requires pretreatment in the form of esterification before the transesterification process. This study aims to determine the effect of reaction time variations (60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 minutes) at a temperature of 60°C and a stirring speed of 1050 rpm on biodiesel's flash point and viscosity. The biodiesel production process was carried out in two stages: esterification and transesterification. The catalyst concentration was methanol at a 1:2 ratio and NaOH at 0.5% of the waste cooking oil. After transesterification, the mixture was allowed to settle for 20 minutes. The produced biodiesel was washed with distilled water at 50°C and evaporated at 90-100°C. The flash point test results for the reaction time variations showed the following values: 60 minutes (108.5), 70 minutes (182.5), 80 minutes (182.5), 90 minutes (148.5), and 100 minutes (184.5). The results indicated that the cetane number obtained did not meet the biodiesel quality standards and was not yet suitable for use according to the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) regulations.

Abstract

Biodiesel is a potential alternative to replace diesel due to its renewable and environmentally friendly raw materials. Used cooking oil can be utilized as a feedstock for biodiesel; however, the high free fatty acid content requires pretreatment with esterification before transesterification. This study aims to determine the effect of reaction time variation (60, 70, 80, 90, 100 minutes) on the cetane number of biodiesel produced at 60°C and a speed of 1050 rpm. The esterification and transesterification processes use 0.5% NaOH catalyst and methanol in a 1:2 ratio, mixed with used cooking oil. After transesterification, the mixture is settled for 20 minutes, then the biodiesel is separated and washed with distilled water at 50°C and evaporated at 90-100°C. The cetane number test results are as follows: 60 minutes (44.54), 70 minutes (44.54), 80 minutes (44.54), 90 minutes (44.47), and 100 minutes (44.60). This study shows that the cetane number of the produced biodiesel does not meet the biodiesel quality standards and is not yet suitable for use by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM).
