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 effect of using Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) as an alternative fuel to Pertalite on the performance, energy efficiency, and operating cost of a 6.5 HP gasoline engine-driven water pump. Experiments were conducted at three engine operating conditions: minimum, average, and maximum engine speeds. The evaluated parameters included engine speed, water discharge, hydraulic power, shaft power, brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), thermal efficiency, overall system efficiency, and fuel operating costs. The results indicate that the pump's hydraulic performance, as measured by water discharge and hydraulic power, is not significantly affected by the type of fuel used. However, engines that use Pertalite tend to have slightly better thermal and system efficiencies than LPG engines. From an economic perspective, LPG offers a substantial advantage, with lower operating and energy costs per unit of power. Therefore, despite Pertalite's slightly superior technical efficiency, LPG is a more economical alternative fuel for long-duration water pump applications.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the performance of an LPG stove burner by assessing the flame temperature, fuel consumption, burner power, and thermal efficiency. The method employed is an experimental approach using a water boiling technique. The test materials used include 3 kg of LPG gas and water. The equipment utilized includes an SNI-compliant cooking stove, a pot, a digital scale, a rotameter flow meter, a gas regulator and hose, a stopwatch, a UT320D thermometer controller, an NPT stainless steel thermometer, and thermocouple sensor cables. The results show that during the first test with the stove set to the minimum setting, the average flame temperature at the burner reached 559.005 °C, with a maximum value of 589.2 °C. In the second test, with the stove set to the maximum setting, the average flame temperature reached 714.78 °C, with a maximum value of 769.3 °C. Fuel consumption was recorded at 0.391 kg in the first test and 0.545 kg in the second test. The burner power output was 1.754 kW in the first test and 2.225 kW in the second test. The thermal efficiency of the burner was recorded at 50.07% in the first test, increasing to 52.85% in the second test. The measurement and analysis of thermal efficiency and fuel consumption in this study can serve as a crucial guide in designing and developing burners for Stirling engines.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate and analyze the performance of cooling water in a small-scale Gamma-type Stirling engine. The research method employed was an experimental approach. The test results show that the inlet water temperature was 27.6 °C, while the average outlet water temperature reached 92.33 °C after 60 minutes of testing. Cooling water with an inlet temperature of 27.6 °C reduced the average heat source temperature from 484.51 °C to 64.78 °C on the compression chamber side. At an airflow rate of 0.006 m³/s, the average cooling effectiveness was recorded at 13%, with the highest value of 19.1% observed at the 55th minute of testing. This study concludes that cooling water effectively reduces the heat source temperature and improves thermal efficiency in a small-scale Gamma-type Stirling engine.

Abstract

This study analyzes the thermal efficiency of a downdraft gasifier-type biomass stove using various fuel masses of wood charcoal and wood pellets. The Water Boiling Test (WBT) method was applied with fuel masses of 0.5 kg, 0.75 kg, 1 kg, and 1.5 kg. Observed parameters included thermal efficiency, fuel consumption rate (FCR), power input, and power output. The highest thermal efficiency, 14%, was achieved with 1.5 kg of wood pellets, while charcoal showed a decrease in efficiency at 1 kg. FCR increased with charcoal but decreased with wood pellets, indicating better combustion efficiency. Power input and output increased with higher fuel mass. These findings highlight the importance of fuel type and mass optimization in improving biomass stove performance, thereby supporting Indonesia's transition to renewable energy.

Abstract

This study evaluates the thermal and electrical performance of a Robinson steam engine powered by low-pressure steam (≤ 2.5 bar) from a small boiler. Experiments were conducted by varying the steam pressure from 0.5 to 2.5 bar to observe its effects on voltage, current, and power output. Results show that increasing steam pressure raised the voltage from 0 V to 4.52 V and the power output from 0 W to 6.1 W. The total electrical energy generated was 9.726 kJ, with an average conversion efficiency of 0.2127% and a peak efficiency of 0.3045% at 2.5 bar. Despite the low efficiency, the system demonstrates potential for small-scale power generation and educational use in energy conversion studies.

Abstract

The palm oil industry in Indonesia generates a large amount of solid waste in the form of Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB). This waste is often underutilized and poses environmental challenges. The high lignocellulosic content of EFB offers significant potential for its development as a renewable biomass fuel. This study aims to evaluate the proximate composition and calorific value of EFB to assess its feasibility as a raw material for bio pellets. The experimental procedures included drying, shredding, grinding, and palletization, followed by laboratory testing based on SNI 8021:2014, SNI 7709:2019, and EN ISO 17225 standards. The results showed a moisture content of 7.85% and an ash content of 7.97%, both within acceptable limits, although the ash level was relatively high. Furthermore, EFB contained 24.20% carbohydrates and 37.99% crude fiber, which contributes to the structural stability of the bio pellets. The calorific value obtained was 1200 kcal/kg, which is considerably lower than values reported in previous studies (≥3500 kcal/kg). These findings highlight the potential of EFB as a renewable energy source while underscoring the need for process optimization to meet quality standards, with possible applications in small-scale and household energy generation.

Abstract

The air tank is a crucial component in pneumatic car horn systems, serving to store compressed air to produce a loud and responsive sound. Most pressure vessel studies have focused on high-pressure applications in industry. At the same time, research on low-pressure tanks for automotive use remains limited, particularly those referring to ASME Section VIII Division 1 standards. This study designed a horizontal cylindrical air tank using the thin-walled cylinder approach with steel plates (yield strength 250 MPa, safety factor 4). The analysis showed a minimum wall thickness of 1.18 mm, while the actual thickness of 3 mm provides additional safety margins. The circumferential stress of 24.67 MPa and longitudinal stress of 12.34 MPa are well below the allowable stress of 62.5 MPa. These results confirm that the design is safe and efficient, contributing to the development of low-pressure pressure vessels for automotive applications.

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.
