Abstract

Wind energy represents one of Indonesia’s most promising renewable energy resources, with a national potential estimated at approximately 60 GW. However, its implementation remains limited due to insufficient site-specific assessments and feasibility studies. This research analyzes the wind energy potential at Galang District Beach, Batam City, and evaluates the technical suitability of the Sky Dancer 500 (TSD 500) wind turbine equipped with inversed-taper blades for small-scale electricity generation. A descriptive quantitative method was employed using secondary wind speed data from NASA (2014–2018) and primary measurements collected continuously for 30 days. Results show that Galang District Beach, Batam City exhibits average wind speeds ranging from 4 to 13.41 m/s, with a maximum recorded speed of 13.41 m/s. Based on technical analysis, low-speed wind characteristics align well with the operational profile of a horizontal-axis wind turbine utilizing inversed-taper blades. Estimations indicate that the TSD 500 turbine can generate 390–500 Wh of electricity per day under the observed wind conditions. These findings demonstrate that the site possesses adequate potential for micro-scale wind power development, and deploying ten units of the TSD 500 turbine could supply daily electrical needs for approximately ten households. The study contributes to the growing body of literature on decentralized renewable energy solutions for remote and coastal communities in Indonesia..

Abstract

Welding is one of the most commonly used metal joining processes in the manufacturing and construction industries. However, this process often results in defects in the weld joint, especially in manual welding of carbon steel, which can affect the quality and strength of the joint. This study aims to analyze the types of welding defects that occur in manual welding of carbon steel, identify their main causes, and provide technical solutions to minimize such defects. The methods used include visual inspection, penetrant testing (PT), and macrostructure examination of the welded joints. The results show that the most common defects found are porosity, undercut, incomplete fusion, and slag inclusion. The primary causes of these defects include improper welding parameter settings, inadequate cleanliness of the metal surface, and the skill level of the operator. As solutions, it is recommended to conduct regular operator training, adjust current and voltage according to the type of electrode used, and ensure proper surface preparation before welding. This study is expected to serve as a reference for industry practitioners in improving the quality of carbon steel weld joints

Abstract

Gears are essential components in mechanical transmission systems, responsible for transferring power between shafts in various types of machinery. The strength of gears plays a critical role in the efficiency and reliability of these systems, as improper load handling can lead to material failure or gear damage. This study aims to analyze the strength of gears by considering several factors such as material properties, geometry, and operational conditions. The materials tested in this research include carbon steel SAE 1045, alloy steel SAE 4140, and stainless steel (SS 304), all of which are commonly used in gear applications. The gear geometry analyzed includes variations in module (2 mm and 3 mm), the number of teeth (20 teeth), and the pressure angle (20 degrees). The research methodology includes Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to simulate stress distribution on gears under both dynamic and static loading conditions, along with experimental testing to validate the simulation results. The results show that SAE 4140 alloy steel exhibits superior tensile strength and wear resistance compared to SAE 1045 carbon steel, though at a higher cost. Stainless steel (SS 304) offers excellent corrosion resistance but lower tensile strength, making it less suitable for high-load applications. Additionally, increasing the gear size (3 mm module) reduces stress on the teeth but increases the overall size and weight of the gear. This study provides important insights into material selection and gear design, helping to improve the strength and durability of mechanical transmission systems.

Abstract

Thermal performance of mold plays a critical role in determining the quality and productivity of aluminium casting products, including fishing sinkers. Improper temperature distribution within the mold can lead to casting defects, uneven solidification, and extended cooling time. This study focuses on the thermal optimization of an aluminium fishing sinker mold through the design and improvement of cooling channel configurations. Numerical simulations based on heat transfer analysis are conducted to evaluate temperature distribution, cooling efficiency, and solidification behavior within the mold. Several cooling channel designs are analyzed and compared to identify the most effective configuration for achieving uniform temperature distribution and enhanced heat dissipation. The results show that optimized cooling channel design significantly reduces temperature gradients, shortens cooling time, and improves overall casting quality. This study demonstrates that thermal optimization through proper cooling channel design is an effective approach to enhancing the performance and reliability of aluminium fishing sinker molds.

Abstract

This study discusses the performance of the liquid cooling system on the Honda Vario 125 motorcycle to understand its effect on the thermal efficiency of the engine during operation. The liquid cooling system plays a role in keeping the engine temperature stable, so that the combustion process takes place more effectively. The test was carried out by taking data on cylinder head temperature, coolant temperature, and fuel consumption at various engine rev levels. The data obtained is analyzed to assess the ability of the cooling system to reduce temperature rise and keep the engine at an optimal working range. The results show that at medium to high cycles, liquid cooling systems are able to maintain temperature stability with relatively small fluctuations. These more stable thermal conditions contribute to improved combustion efficiency which is reflected in decreased specific fuel consumption and increased thermal efficiency. These findings indicate that the cooling system design on the Honda Vario 125 has adequate capabilities to maintain consistent engine performance, especially in daily use with load variations. This study can be a technical reference in the development of motor vehicle cooling systems.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of shielding gas types, namely carbon dioxide (CO₂) and argon, on the quality of welded joints in the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process with low carbon steel as the base material. The research method was carried out experimentally using a steel plate measuring 150 mm × 75 mm × 6 mm and an ER70S-6 electrode wire with a diameter of 1.0 mm. The welding process was carried out with an inverter-type GMAW machine using fixed parameters: 120 ampere current, 22 volt voltage, 4 mm/s welding speed, 12 mm stick-out distance, and 15 liters per minute shielding gas flow rate. The specimens were divided into two groups based on the shielding gas, namely pure CO₂ and pure argon. Evaluation of the joint quality was carried out through tensile tests, Vickers hardness tests on three main zones (weld metal, heat affected zone, and base metal), as well as microstructure and visual observations. The results showed that the specimens with argon gas had a higher average tensile strength (460 MPa) than CO₂ (420 MPa). The hardness values were also higher and more even in the argon specimens, with a finer and more uniform microstructure. In conclusion, the use of argon produces welds with better mechanical and metallurgical qualities than CO₂. Therefore, argon is more recommended for welding low carbon steels that require high strength and precision.

Abstract

Thermal Spray Aluminum (TSA) coating is widely applied for corrosion protection of offshore steel structures operating in aggressive marine environments. In practical offshore projects, the quality of TSA coating implementation is primarily verified through inspection activities conducted during Procedure Qualification Tests (PQT). In this study, an inspection-based evaluation of TSA coating implementation was performed using documented PQT inspection records obtained from an offshore steel structure, without additional laboratory testing. TSA coating was applied using a twin wire electric arc spray process, and coating quality was assessed based on dry film thickness (DFT) measurements recorded at five inspection points. The measured DFT values ranged from 216 µm to 357 µm, with an average thickness of 284.8 µm. To ensure general applicability, the thickness distribution was interpreted using inspection-derived statistical indicators, including a thickness uniformity index and coefficient of variation. The results indicate a uniform coating build-up and stable application characteristics typical of arc-sprayed aluminum coatings. It is concluded that PQT inspection data provide a practical and reliable basis for evaluating TSA coating implementation and thickness consistency in offshore steel structure applications.
