Abstract

Suboptimal design and body shape in freight transport vehicles can lead to increased aerodynamic drag. To address this issue, the use of wind deflectors is proposed as a solution to reduce aerodynamic resistance in cargo vans. The methodology employed in this research involves Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations using the Ansys Fluent R2 2023 software. CFD simulations were conducted on the design of a cargo box vehicle with variations in Wind Deflector Models 1, 2, and 3, employing identical boundary condition parameters. The results of the CFD simulation for Wind Deflector Model 3 exhibited the lowest drag force at 1.1531116 Newton and a drag coefficient of 0.37031338. In conclusion, a comprehensive analysis of the CFD simulation results provides valuable insights into the intricate aerodynamic implications of Wind Deflector variations on cargo vans. Therefore, it is concluded that Wind Deflector Model 3 emerges as the optimal choice, showcasing superior aerodynamic characteristics.

Abstract

The wheel rim serves as a component designed to provide stability and necessary support for vehicle tires. The phenomenon of resonance occurring when the external vibration frequency approaches the natural frequency of the structure has the potential to increase vibration amplitude, which can lead to wheel rim damage. This study aims to investigate the shape patterns and natural frequencies of 17-inch aluminum alloy wheel rims, as well as to analyze the maximum total deformation that occurs. The finite element method is employed to simulate the vibration characteristic of 17-inch aluminum alloy wheel rims under various natural frequencies. Modifications to the wheel rim design are made by altering the spoke angle in variations of 5°, 10°, and 15°. The vibration characteristic data of the wheel rim was obtained through simulation using ANSYS software. The research findings indicate that the natural frequencies range from approximately 364.7 Hz to 723.21 Hz. Furthermore, the maximum total deformation values range from approximately 9.7 mm to 22.5 mm.

Abstract

The water crisis is a significant global problem, with more than 2 billion people lacking water and 1.1 billion having no access to clean water. Desalination, a method of converting seawater into fresh water by removing salt, is a potential solution to help coastal populations. This study aims to determine the convection and evaporation heat transfer coefficients and the effect of condenser cooling water temperature on the evaporation process and the increase in freshwater condensate. The research methodology involved the analysis of heat and mass transfer in a solar desalination system. A desalination device was designed to test the evaporation process with seawater temperature heated using halogen lamp light. Results show that increasing seawater temperature from 27°C to 42°C results in condensation when the temperature reaches about 30°C, affecting the water surface pressure and evaporation rate. Evaporation and condensation efficiencies are affected by convection and evaporation heat transfer, resulting in a convection heat transfer (0.84296 W/m2. °C) and evaporation heat transfer coefficient (23.81353 W/m2.°C). This research demonstrates the potential of solar desalination technology in producing clean water.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of adding a wind deflector on the aerodynamic performance of a pick-up box truck using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method. The primary issue with this type of vehicle is the significant pressure drag caused by the height difference between the cabin and the cargo box. Simulations were conducted using ANSYS Fluent software with the k-epsilon turbulence model on two configurations: a standard model and a model equipped with a wind deflector. The simulation results show that the standard model experiences significant flow separation in the gap between the cabin and the box, resulting in a drag coefficient ($C_d$) of 0.5239 and a drag force ($F_d$) of 2.904 N. Following the application of the wind deflector, the airflow becomes more streamlined and the separation point is minimized, reducing the $C_d$ value to 0.4240 and $F_d$ to 2.347 N. This study concludes that the use of a wind deflector can provide a drag force reduction of 19.19%, indicating a significant improvement in the vehicle's aerodynamic efficiency.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of low partial vacuum on the evaporation and condensation performance in a solar still system. The tests were conducted using three variations: non-vacuum (101325 Pa), vacuum 1 (101313 Pa), and vacuum 2 (101309 Pa) using an exhaust system. The observed parameters included water temperature, pressure, vapor pressure difference (ΔP), evaporation mass, and condensation yield. The results showed that low partial vacuum increased the vapor pressure difference, thereby enhancing the driving force for evaporation. The highest maximum ΔP value was obtained at vacuum 2, at 1278.48 Pa. However, water temperature had a more dominant influence on total evaporation, so the highest cumulative evaporation mass was obtained under non-vacuum conditions at 8750 g due to better thermal energy retention. Meanwhile, vacuum 1 produced the highest condensation yield of 7641 g, indicating a balance between vapor formation and vapor distribution within the system. These findings suggest that the optimization of a solar still based on low partial vacuum is determined not only by an increase in vapor pressure difference but also by the system’s ability to retain thermal energy and the effectiveness of the condensation process .
