Abstract

The installation of aerodynamic devices, such as rear wings with the application of a Gurney flap, is very important to improve the performance of vehicles and can generate downforce and reduce slip when a car turns and brakes. The goal of this study was to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of the addition of a rear wing using an Eppler 423 airfoil, which was applied with a Gurney flap featuring variations in the angle of attack and the height of the Gurney flap. The rear wing was mounted on the Ahmed body with a rear slant angle of 15°, which is similar to the configuration on a fastback type car. This research was conducted by 3D modeling through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation using ANSYS Student R18.2 by using ahmed body design. There are three variations in the angle of attack for the rear wing (0°, 7.5°, and 15°), as well as five variations in Gurney flap height of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% for the chord-line length. In this study, the best variation was found at an angle of attack of 15⁰ with a height of 2% C. From this configuration improved CL/CD ratio by 25.36% when compared to the results without a Gurney flap.

Abstract

The development of transportation technology in the automotive sector such as electric vehicles is increasingly advanced. One technology that is needed quite a lot is the development of supporting technology for electric vehicle braking. The use of regenerative braking on light electric vehicles such as 2-wheeled vehicles is not efficient because of its low weight. The use of Eddy Current Brake (ECB) can be a solution for braking support needs. This is because the ECB is a braking system that has the advantage of a lightweight design but still relies on the frictionless principle. However, in addition to its advantages, the eddy current brake is still in the early stages of its research with efficiency that still needs to be developed. In the discussion of the ECB, heat generation is one of the interesting topics to be discussed. Specifically, the study of the characteristics of the unipolar ECB axial performance on heat generation events has not yet been discussed. So this article aims to discuss these events with a simulation process and simple mathematical calculations. Design optimization is done to get the best value. As a result, the use of eddy current brakes with conductor disks using slots, can improve the performance of the ECB on the torque side and cooling side. Thus, this article is a good contribution to the sustainability of ECB research in both the general and automotive fields.

Abstract

Pyrolysis has been proven as a method to reduce plastic waste and produce useful products, especially liquid fuels. However, plastic pyrolysis also produces gases and char as by-products which are being investigated for useful products. Therefore, our present study aims to investigate the char characteristics of plastic pyrolysis for further use as briquettes. Seven samples of char by-products from the pyrolysis process of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) plastic at various reaction temperatures and catalyst types were studied. The proximate test is used to determine the properties of char such as moisture content, ash, volatile matter, and fixed carbon while the bomb calorimeter is used to determine the calorific value. Briquettes are formed by mixing 4 grams of char and 0.5-1 gram of binder (1% starch and 90% water). The briquettes were formed into solid cylinders with a diameter of 1.75 cm and formed with a pressure of 10 kg/cm2. Furthermore, the impact resistance index (IRI) was used to test the performance of the briquettes and showed an IRI value between 100 and 200. However, of the seven char samples tested, three of them were impossible to process into briquettes because they melted during the combustion test.

Abstract

Using solar energy through photovoltaic (PV) panels has excellent potential as an alternative energy source. However, the problem of high operating temperatures causing a reduction in work efficiency needs to be addressed. This study aimed to analyze the development of a cooling system to increase PV panels' electrical and thermal efficiency. The research involved analyzing the use of TiO2, Al2O3, and ZnO working fluids by adding 0.5 vol% to water in an active cooling method. The cooling system involved a rectangular spiral and a rectangular tube behind the PV panel. A solar simulator simulated solar radiation with intensity variations to analyze the cooling system's performance in different working conditions. The results showed that the heat exchanger with a nanofluid configuration reduced the panel temperature by 14 oC, which increased the electrical efficiency by up to 4.7% in the ZnO nanofluid. In the rectangular spiral configuration, the ZnO nanofluid reduced the panel temperature from 60 to 45 oC, increasing the Isc value from 2.16A to 2.9A and the Voc value from 21.5V to 23V. This resulted in a maximum power increase of the panel to 53W. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-08-08 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Extensive research has been conducted to address the issue of the reduced efficiency of solar photovoltaic (PV) cells at high temperatures. To address this problem, a hybrid cooling system has been developed. This system uses a thermal collector to convert waste heat into reusable heat. Selecting the best configuration and operational parameters for the collector is crucial for maximizing system performance. To achieve this, we conducted computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling using ANSYS. Various factors affecting the cooling of PV solar cells were analyzed, including the collector design, mass flow rate, and concentration of the Al2O3 nanofluids. Results showed that the 12S finned thermal collector system exhibits the lowest temperature for PV solar cells, at approximately 29.654 oC. The electrical efficiency of PV solar cells is influenced by the concentration of Al2O3 nanofluids. We found that the 12S finned collector system with 1% water/Al2O3 nanofluid achieved the highest efficiency (approximately 11.749%) at a flow rate of 0.09 kg/s. The addition of finned collectors affects efficiency and variations in fluid mass flow rates, and there is no relation between the connector type and different Al2O3nanofluid concentrations. In other words, the cooling system can be optimized to enhance the efficiency of the PV solar cells under high-temperature conditions. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-12-03 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Currently, buildings are responsible for 32% of the world’s energy consumption, with the most massive energy-consuming device in facilities being the refrigeration system. Photovoltaic is an alternative source of energy without causing environmental damage. Solar Refrigeration is an attractive solution because when there is much solar radiation, peak thermal energy is generated, and a lot of cooling capacity is needed. In this research, the amount of PV modules used as the LiBr-H2O Absorption Refrigeration System’s primary energy source is investigated. PV modules have a dual function, namely as a producer of electric power and producing thermal waste, both of which can be used as energy sources to drive this refrigeration system. In this thermal waste, two thermal sources, namely thermal convection and thermal radiation, accumulate to activate heat exchange at the LiBr-H2O absorption refrigeration system’s generator side. For electrical power from the PV module, it is used to run the air heater to increase the temperature until it reaches the optimum point for hot water supply between 65 to 70 oC. The results are that at least 100 modules of 100Wp Monocrystalline PV Module are needed to drive the LiBr-H2O absorption refrigeration system. Still, it is limited to 15.00, after which the energy source is switched back to electricity from PLN because, after 15.00, many PV modules are required and takes up a large enough space.

Abstract

In response to the problem of plastic waste, this study investigates the conversion of PET waste plastics into Pyrolysis Plastic Oil (PPO) as an environmentally sustainable alternative energy source, aiming to tackle the pressing issue of plastic waste accumulation. Accordingly, the research comprehensively evaluates the physicochemical properties of PPO, examines its impact on engine performance, and determines the optimal concentrations for blending with gasoline. The investigation uncovers the potential of PPO through precise material preparation involving PET plastic waste pyrolysis, employing meticulous testing and analysis for comprehensive insights. Engine testing, conducted on a 125 cc, 4-stroke motorized vehicle, scrutinizes power, torque, and exhaust emissions under various PPO and gasoline blends. The findings reveal distinctive relationships between PPO ratios and engine behavior, emphasizing the need for nuanced fuel blending. The examination extends to fuel consumption and specific fuel consumption (SFC) testing, highlighting PPO's superior SFC. Exhaust emission testing demonstrates reduced emissions with heightened PPO concentration, showcasing its positive environmental impact. The results contribute valuable insights into PPO's viability as an alternative fuel source and its potential role in mitigating plastic waste. A comparative analysis with existing literature enriches our understanding of the field, emphasizing the need for careful consideration in fuel formulation. While PPO may not achieve performance parity with conventional gasoline, its environmental benefits and efficient waste utilization underscore its significance for a sustainable future. Further research is encouraged to optimize PPO properties and blending ratios, paving the way for an eco-friendlier energy landscape.
