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

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

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.
