Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to investigate how different sizes of drive pulleys influence the performance of an electric motorcycle equipped with a BLDC motor. This was approached using an experimental technique that combined dynotesting and road testing where three drive pulley diameters of 42T, 44T, and 46T were used. While the road tests were intended to measure the top speed of the motorcycle, the dynotests were aimed at acquiring the necessary data to calculate the torque and power. Based on the results of this study, an increase in the drive pulley's diameter will increase the speed of the electric motorcycle, although it will lower the torque. It was found that the 42T drive pulley offers the greatest torque, which is 16.54 Nm at a power of 5.2 HP, and the 46T drive pulley allows for the greatest speed of 63.37 km/h. It is thus apparent that for performance to be properly tailored to the motorcycle, a balance should be struck in line with the intended purpose, which can either be acceleration or the cruising speed.

Abstract

This study aims to model and optimize the control system of a PET filament making machine using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Two main variables, namely extrusion temperature and winding speed, were analyzed through the Central Composite Design experimental design with the help of Design-Expert 13 software. A quadratic model was developed to predict the filament diameter, and the results of the analysis of variance showed that the model was statistically significant and able to represent the nonlinear relationship between variables. Optimization based on the desirability function produced optimum operating conditions at a medium temperature and winding speed range. Experiments showed that the combination of a temperature of 240–245 °C and a speed of 9–12 rpm produced a consistent filament diameter of 1.7 mm with 70–80% flexibility and a smooth surface.
