Abstract

Human dependence on mineral-based energy sources poses challenges related to toxicity, depletion, degradation, and environmental hazards. An appropriate replacement for mineral-based lubricants has yet to be realized; one available option for humans is alternative, renewable, environmentally friendly, and biodegradable energy sources. Lubricants play an important role in product processing, transportation, agriculture, and other key sectors in industrial development. This study was conducted to explore the potential use of palm oil as the main ingredient with the addition of rubber as an additive. The method of making the lubricant involved mixing 3%, 5%, and 7% rubber latex with sonicated palm oil using UAE. Next, wear testing was performed using a tribometer based on the ball-on-disc principle, utilizing a modified bench-top drill machine. The testing was carried out at room temperature, maintaining a constant load of 8.83 N and a rotational speed of 180 rpm for 5 minutes per sample. Microscopic analysis of the wear scars on the plate samples showed different wear patterns and characteristics for each lubricant, with measurements taken at various positions for accuracy. The results indicated that the lubricant with a 5% rubber mixture was the best, with a wear width of 535.9126 µm, compared to the commercial lubricant (SAE 15W 40) which had a wear width of 539.906 µm. This research demonstrates the potential use of a palm oil and rubber mixture as a more environmentally friendly lubricant alternative.

Abstract

Aluminium is a white non-ferrous metal and is easily oxidized. In the industrial world, aluminium was chosen because it has the advantages of light density, corrosion resistance, easy fabrication (forged), high thermal and electrical conductivity. However, aluminium also has disadvantages, namely having a low hardness value when compared to steel. Pure aluminum hardness is only around 50 VHN. Therefore anodizing is expected to improve the hardness value of aluminium. This study aims to determine the effect of time variation on the value of changes in mass, hardness, oxide layer thickness, and microstructure. This study used aluminium 1100 with a time variation of 60, 70, 80, and 90 minutes, a concentration of H2SO4 of 10%, a current density of 6 A and a voltage of 20 V. The results of the study using a time variation of 60, 70, 80 and 90 minutes obtained the change in value the smallest mass occurred at 60 minutes of 0.4 g and the largest occurred at 90 minutes of 1.09 g. The smallest hardness value occurred at 60 minutes at 72.8 VHN and the highest occurred at 90 minutes at 86.7 VHN. The lowest layer thickness value occurred at 60 minutes of 7.96 µm and the highest occurred at 90 minutes of 10.79 µm

Abstract

Electronic components are components that require an optimal design in order to provide good heat release performance. The heat sink component is a relevant solution to help cool an electronic component by flowing heat energy into the environment either naturally or forcibly with the help of a fan. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of material type on heat sink temperature distribution, determine the phenomenon of velocity boundary layer and thermal boundary layer that occurs in each heat sink variation, determine the effect of design shape and pin arrangement on pressure drop, determine the best design according to the final results of the study. This research uses 6 variations of design shape, 2 variations of arrangement (inline and staggered), and 3 types of materials (Aluminum, Copper, and Iron). The method used in this research is a simulation method with three stages of process, namely, pre processing, processing, and post processing. The results showed that copper material is the best in conducting heat with a temperature drop of 98.5% from the base temperature. The inline arrangement obtained a lower pressure drop than the staggered arrangement and the best design was obtained by fillet square perforation with an inline arrangement.
