Abstract

The focus of this investigation is to determine the drag coefficient on the prototype vehicle and also the pressure profile on the entire body of the prototype. The study was carried out on a prototype vehicle that would compete at Shell Eco-Marathon Asia-Pacific and Middle East 2023. The test was performed on an energy-efficient vehicle prototype built by the Mandalika Desantara Team, a team of mechanical engineering students at Mataram University. To accomplish this, a CFD approach simulation was performed using the Ansys 2023 R2 simulation software - fluent flow with a comparison of the drag coefficient and average pressure and wind speed of 30 km/h. According to the simulation results, the average drag coefficient value on the prototype design is 0.194. The highest average pressure can be detected on the front of the vehicle, where that part has a maximum pressure of 101374 Pa. While the airflow over the prototype body has the highest average speed of around 10 m/s. Based on these results, the prototype vehicle design still needs to be improved in order to compete in similar competitions.

Abstract

A camshaft from a 4-stroke engine operating at idle with an average speed of 650 rpm was studied. The study was carried out using the finite element method and the Ansys software. The study was carried out to determine the dynamic response (reaction force, stress distribution, and deformation) of a camshaft circuit operating under torsional pressure at 650 rpm for 1 s. Analysis studies were carried out by varying the camshaft materials such as structural steel, aluminum alloy, and stainless steel. The results of this numeric study show that the structural steel camshaft has the greatest total deformation when compared to the other two materials. Stainless steel has the highest equivalent stress value, followed by structural steel, and aluminum alloy has the lowest. These findings also suggest that aluminum alloy has a better structural response than other materials. This is due to the aluminum alloy having the lowest stress of 239.87 MPa. This is supported by the relatively high safety factor value of 2.165, which is higher than the other two materials.

Abstract

In order to participate in the international fuel-efficient vehicle competition, a team from the Mechanical Engineering department of Mataram University has prepared a prototype vehicle. The competition is The Shell Eco-Marathon, held at the International Pertamina Mandalika Circuit in Lombok in July 2023 and attended by several teams from abroad. For this purpose, the team has developed an energy-efficient prototype vehicle using a two-wheeler engine. The team has modified the two-wheeler engine to achieve more fuel-efficient consumption compared to conventional vehicles. The study involves checking the two-wheeler engine's condition, conducting engine startup experiments, and analyzing engine performance. The Mandalika Desantara racing team reduced the piston diameter to minimize the combustion chamber volume. The results of the engine modification on the prototype vehicle show a fuel consumption rate of 71.66 km/l when driving on the Mandalika circuit. However, this figure has not yet reached the desired level of efficiency, considering that the estimated fuel consumption of vehicles with conventional motor engines is around 40-50 km/l.

Abstract

This study discusses the development of a two-stage adsorption application to enhance methane content in biogas. The adsorption process utilizes zeolite sourced from Lombok Island. To achieve this objective, the zeolite is activated using HCl and KOH solutions, each with concentrations of 3 Molar and 20%, respectively. Additionally, the zeolite is physically activated by heating it in a furnace at 300°C for 3 hours, followed by chemical activation. Research findings indicate that activation of zeolite with these compounds yields a significant increase in methane content compared to adsorption using non-activated zeolite. The improvement in methane content reaches at least 45%. These results demonstrate substantial potential in enhancing biogas production efficiency through two-stage adsorption using chemically activated zeolite. Additionally, this outcome underscores the understanding that without activation, zeolite from Lombok cannot function optimally as an adsorbent.

Abstract

As the fossil energy gradually gets depletion, alternative energies should be utilized.  One of alternative energies, which is easier to be used, is solar energy. In this research, the solar energy, which was captured using a flat plate collector with a granite absorber, was used to heat water. The overall dimension of the collector was 0,8 m x 1 m x 0,01 m with a gap between the glas cover and the absorber of approximately 50 mm. Copper pipes with a diameter of 1/2 inch were used to transfer the heat to the water. The volumetric rates of the water were 200 cc / min, 250 cc / min and 300 cc / min and the water was flowed naturally from a higher water tank and was adjusted using a valve installed at the outlet of the collector.The test results indicate that the energy absorbed by the water decreases with the observation time. The parallel pipes cause quick heat removals from the granite absorber. Energy absorbed by the water in the parallel pipes is much greater than that in the serpentine pipe, and the granite can be used for storing the heat energy

Abstract

Solar energy has been developed in wide areas because its potential to replace the current classic energy, fossil fuel. The advantages of solar energy are cheap and clean. To generate solar energy, photovoltaic is used. There are some factors affects the performance of photovoltaic. Some of them are the amount of light beam received and temperature of photovoltaic surface. This research was done to get better understanding of the factors on the photovoltaic performance. In order to reach the goal, two different solar reflector areas and wind velocity were applied. The wind source is coming from a blower while solar reflector was made from glass. The results showed that the watt peak, power point power maximum (PMPP), and output efficiency were increased by application of larger solar reflector and high wind velocity. Larger reflector application resulted in sun light can be focused directly to the solar panel therefore increasing the watt peak. Meanwhile, higher wind speed on the solar panel surface can reduce the solar panel surface temperature which lead to the improvement in maximum output efficiency.

Abstract

This research focuses on designing and optimizing a tapered wind turbine employing NACA 24112 airfoils, specifically tailored for Semayan Village in Central Lombok West Nusa Tenggara province. Given the escalating global energy demand and the depletion of fossil fuels, the study aims to explore alternative energy solutions. The chosen horizontal axis turbine, equipped with an increased number of blades, seeks to maximize the power coefficient and overall efficiency. The NACA airfoil model, coupled with Q-Blade v0.963 software, was employed for simulations after conducting wind speed measurements in Semayan Village. The collected data indicated moderate wind speeds, aligning with the selection of the Taper blade design. The blade design process involved comprehensive system efficiency calculations and twist angle optimizations to enhance overall turbine performance and extend its lifespan. Rotor simulations revealed a noteworthy peak in the power coefficient (Cp), reaching 45% at Tip Speed Ratio (TSR) 7, indicating an optimal point for power generation. However, the study emphasizes the importance of selecting an appropriate TSR, as efficiency diminishes at higher TSR values. This research highlights the potential of wind energy as a viable and sustainable solution, particularly for regions with limited access to electricity. It advocates for the broader adoption of renewable energy sources to address the evolving energy landscape.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the drying characteristics of corn kernels using a tray-type dryer, including the moisture content of the corn kernels over time, the mass of the tested corn kernels over time and the drying rate over time. This research uses the experimental method. The drying process uses an incoming drying hot air temperature of 65ºC with an incoming hot drying air speed of 2 m/s, repeated three times until a water content of 14 ± 0.5% is reached. The dryer in this study used four stacking shelves counting from the bottom, which were filled with 500 grams per shelf. This research shows that the further the shelf is positioned from the incoming hot drying air, the lower the drying rate. Vice versa, the closer the drying Shelf is to the incoming hot air, the greater the drying rate. The average decrease in corn kernel mass was 0.95% for shelf 1, 0.93% for shelf 2, 0.90% for shelf 3 and 0.88% for shelf 4 during a drying period of 3.5 hours. The average decrease in water content was 4.4% for shelf 1, 4.29% for shelf 2, 4.15% for shelf 3 and 4% for shelf 4 during a drying period of 3.5 hours. The further the position of the shelf from the hot air dryer, the less air content contained in the material on the shelf can be absorbed by the hot air dryer and vice versa. The average drying rate was 16.8% for shelf 1, 15% for shelf 2, 13.6% for shelf 3 and 12.8% for shelf 4 during a drying period of 3.5 hours at a drying hot air temperature of 65oC with a drying air speed of 2 m/s. The research data analysis results showed that the hot air dryer should not be passed from below but rather from the side. This affects the drying process in the dryer and makes it evener.

Abstract

Some mathematical objects are abstract. Psychological studies state that children learn concrete things more easily than abstract things. The problem of lack of understanding of mathematical material, especially geometry, both two-dimensional and three-dimensional, also occurs among students. For this reason, the solution offered is training in using Geogebra software to display two- and three-dimensional geometry visually and more realistically. So it can be easier to understand. And this needs to be given to new students as preparation for taking the next lecture at Mechanical Engineering, Mataram University. The implementation of this service is divided into several stages. The first is the preparation of practical instructions for operating Geogebra and questionnaires. Provide tests to measure understanding of basic mathematical concepts, both before and after training. Provide a questionnaire to determine learning motivation before participating in training. Next, provide training on using the Geogebra application/software in solving mathematical problems to participants. Apart from that, participants were also given a questionnaire to find out whether this training was useful for participants and whether this training could motivate participants to learn after attending the training. From the results of observations during the training, the participants were very enthusiastic about taking part, as evidenced by the responses from the participants, both those who asked questions and those who answered the instructor's questions regarding the answers to the questions given. The results of the questionnaire showed that by using Geogebra software it was easier and faster for participants to solve the questions. geometry questions, and there was also an increase in scores before and after training.
