Abstract

Household waste accumulation has become a significant environmental issue in urban areas. This study evaluates the thermal performance and mass-reduction efficiency of a household-scale waste incinerator prototype operating without external fossil fuel under natural-draft airflow. The combustion chamber was fabricated from a cylindrical steel drum equipped with primary air inlets. Mixed household waste (initial mass 5 kg; moisture content 28%) was tested. Temperature was measured using a K-type thermocouple positioned at the chamber centre. The maximum recorded temperature reached 100°C within 40 minutes. Mass reduction reached 25%, calculated based on initial and final mass measurements. The estimated thermal efficiency was 7.1%, determined using a simplified energy balance approach. The results indicate that the prototype operates under low-temperature thermal degradation conditions rather than complete incineration. Design improvements are required to achieve standard incineration temperatures.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the influence of thermal conditions; specifically the temperature difference between the test object and the environment; on the characteristics of air flow and heat transfer around it. The object of this study is a test piece subjected to free air flow under various temperature conditions; focusing on the convection heat transfer phenomenon. The main problem addressed is how temperature variations affect the convection heat transfer coefficient; heat transfer rate; and heat flux; as well as changes in air velocity and pressure profiles. Therefore; the objective of this research is to quantitatively compare and assess these thermal and fluid parameters through an experimental study approach and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. The methodology involves direct measurement of temperature and pressure parameters under low and high-temperature conditions; which are then processed to determine the convection coefficient (); heat transfer rate (); and heat flux (). The main findings indicate that at low-temperature conditions; the heat transfer coefficient () was found to be 53.26 ; the heat transfer rate () was 24.99 W; and the heat flux () was 537.87 ; with a pressure drop of 0.86 Pa. In conclusion; thermal conditions play a crucial role in determining the dynamics of air flow and the efficiency of heat transfer; the greater the temperature difference (); the higher the potential heat transfer rate; establishing a strong correlation between thermal conditions and the convection phenomenon.

Abstract

The increasingly complex global energy problem drives the need for efficient, low-cost, and environmentally friendly energy storage systems. This study aims to analyze the power performance of two symmetric supercapacitor prototypes using Nitrogen-doped Graphene-Like Carbon (N-GLC) as the electrode material and 1 M  as the electrolyte, with different electrode substrates: aluminum and copper. Both prototypes were tested through charging and discharging processes using resistive loads of 470 ohms and 560 ohms for 5 minutes. The analyzed parameters include voltage, current, power, and output energy. The results show that the aluminum electrode achieved a higher maximum charging power of up to 18 mW; however, its energy discharge efficiency was very low at only 0.87%. In contrast, the copper electrode demonstrated a more balanced charging and discharging performance with an energy discharge efficiency of 19.4%. Analysis also indicates that the copper substrate maintains better voltage stability after 6 hours of storage compared to aluminum, which experienced significant degradation. Thus, the copper electrode is superior in maintaining the power and stability of a simple N-GLC-based symmetric supercapacitor system.

Abstract

Dynamic workloads during hydraulic excavator operations frequently cause the joint between the shaft rod and the rod end to crack or even fracture. Although welding is often selected for economic reasons, the strength of this joint must be tested to ensure the operational safety of the heavy equipment. This study evaluates the mechanical characteristics of a dissimilar weld joint between AISI 1045 and AISI 4340 materials using the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) method with a current of 90 Amperes and a voltage of 19 V and varying filler metals: ER70S-6 and ER110S-G. Tensile test specimens were prepared in accordance with the ASTM E8/E8M-13a standard, featuring a length (L) of 50 mm and a diameter (D) of 12 mm. The welded samples subsequently underwent hardness testing using the Vickers method. Test results indicate that samples using ER70S-6 filler metal exhibited an average tensile strength of 544 N/mm2 and a yield strength of 484 N/mm2. Meanwhile, samples using ER110S-G filler metal showed an average tensile strength of 766 N/mm2 and a yield strength of 613 N/mm2. Hardness test results for the ER70S-6 samples showed average values ​​of 279 HV in the AISI 1045 Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ), 358 HV in the AISI 4340 HAZ, and 167 HV in the weld metal. Conversely, the ER110S-G samples recorded average hardness values ​​of 238 HV in the AISI 1045 HAZ, 383 HV in the AISI 4340 HAZ, and 280 HV in the weld metal. In conclusion, the ER110S-G filler metal resulted in a greater increase in both tensile strength and joint hardness compared to ER70S-6. This condition is driven by the characteristics of ER110S-G as a high-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) steel weld metal containing nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), and molybdenum (Mo). The combination of these alloying elements produces a solid solution strengthening mechanism that results in a significantly more robust weld metal matrix structure.
