Abstract

Selection of the type of support that is appropriate to the load will affect the mechanical and physical properties. Using a good type of support and in accordance with welding procedures can have an influence on the welding results (weldability properties). The comparison of the mechanical properties of V-joints to U-joints is that the maximum tensile stress value between V-joints and U-joints is a maximum of 477.17 N/mm2, while the maximum tensile stress value of V-joints is 453.12 N/mm2. The strain value between the V seam connection and the U seam connection is 20%, while the strain value for the V seam connection is 30%. The yield stress value between the V seam joint and the U seam joint is found in the U seam joint with a yield stress value of 356.05 N/mm2, while the yield stress value for the V seam joint is 337.6 N/mm2. The modulus of elasticity value between the V seam connection and the U seam connection is 2,518.09 N/mm2, while the modulus of elasticity value for the V seam connection is 1,529.43 N/mm2.

Abstract

This critical shaft rotation test tool is used to calculate the maximum deflection of a steel shaft. Currently, the critical shaft rotation test tool still uses human power to operate it, namely by rotating the handle to read the rotation value. So the test results carried out are not effective and accurate. This tool uses an electric motor with ¼ HP power and 2800 Rpm rotation as the driving force. So that the results are more accurate, this tool is designed to use an electronic system (sensor) equipped with a digital counter. Making this critical rotation test tool for the shaft goes through several processes, namely, making a table or position of the critical rotation test tool for the shaft using a digital counter, selecting the disk (load), selecting the bearing (pillow block), selecting the electric motor, selecting the shaft, and selecting the voltage regulator. . The testing phase has undergone several testing stages and the results are as planned. The tool that has been made can be operated effectively and obtain results as planned, and its operation is very easy.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of cooling system modification on the engine performance of the Wuling Confero vehicle. The main focus of this research is to evaluate the impact of thermostat removal and the use of plain water as a substitute for radiator coolant on engine operating temperature, engine speed (RPM), and fuel consumption. The research method used was a quantitative experimental approach, with direct testing using a Vehicle Diagnostic System (VDS) to obtain real-time data on operating temperature, RPM, and fuel consumption. The tests were conducted under three different conditions: the factory-standard cooling system (using a thermostat and coolant), the system without a thermostat, and the system using plain water. The results show that the factory-standard cooling system produced the most stable engine performance, with an optimal operating temperature of 80–92°C, stable RPM at around 750 ± 5, and the lowest fuel consumption of 3.8 ml/min. In contrast, the removal of the thermostat resulted in high temperature fluctuations (±6–8°C), unstable engine speed reaching up to 825 RPM, and the highest fuel consumption at 5.2 ml/min. Meanwhile, the use of plain water showed no statistically significant difference but caused moderate temperature fluctuations (±4.3°C) and a higher risk of long-term corrosion. The Wilcoxon statistical test indicated significant differences between the standard and thermostat-removed systems (Z = −2.81; p < 0.05), as well as between the thermostat-removed and plain-water systems (Z = −2.14; p < 0.05). Cooling system modification particularly by removing the thermostat has a negative impact on temperature stability and engine thermal efficiency. The factory-standard cooling system remains the most efficient configuration and is strongly recommended to maintain optimal performance, fuel efficiency, and engine durability.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of tempering temperature variations on the hardness of AISI 4340 steel after undergoing a quenching process. AISI 4340 is a high-strength low-alloy steel widely used in manufacturing industries, making the control of its mechanical properties through heat treatment crucial. In this study, the steel specimens were initially heated to 800°C and rapidly cooled (quenched) in water. Subsequently, the specimens were subjected to tempering at three different temperatures—200°C, 400°C, and 600°C—with a holding time of 60 minutes. The mechanical properties were evaluated using the Rockwell hardness test (HRC scale) with three measurement points on each specimen. The results indicate that variations in tempering temperature significantly affect the hardness of the steel. Tempering at 200°C produced the highest hardness value of 22.00 HRC due to the presence of tempered martensite with fine carbide precipitation. At 400°C, the hardness decreased to 15.90 HRC, attributed to the transformation of martensite into ferrite and fine cementite (troostite). Meanwhile, tempering at 600°C resulted in a hardness value of 17.80 HRC, characterized by a more stable and ductile sorbite structure. Overall, the findings show that increasing tempering temperature generally decreases hardness while enhancing the ductility of AISI 4340 steel.

Abstract

Aluminum alloy 2014 (Al 2014) is an Al-Cu–based alloy widely used in the aerospace and automotive industries due to its high mechanical strength. However, the mechanical properties of this alloy are strongly influenced by heat treatment, particularly the artificial aging process. This study aims to analyze the effect of artificial aging on the mechanical properties of Al 2014, especially hardness. The Al 2014 samples underwent solution heat treatment at a specified temperature, followed by rapid cooling (quenching) and subsequent artificial aging at various temperatures and holding times. The mechanical test results show that increasing the aging temperature and duration significantly affects the formation of strengthening precipitates, leading to increased hardness until reaching the optimum condition (peak aging). However, excessive aging results in overaging, which reduces mechanical properties due to coarsening of precipitates. Therefore, a precise artificial aging process is essential to optimize the mechanical performance of Al 2014 for engineering applications.

Abstract

High-quality turning is achieved through optimal cutting conditions. One of the variables affecting cutting conditions is surface roughness. The aim of this research is to examine the influence of feed rate and main cutting angle on the surface roughness of flat turning results on ST 37 steel material. The turning process was carried out with a cutting depth of 0.5 mm during the finishing process by varying the feed rate and main cutting angle. The feed rates used were 0.070 mm/rev, 0.281 mm/rev, and 0.450 mm/rev on ST 37 workpieces with a diameter of 24 mm and a length of 44 mm, which were turned down to a diameter of 23 mm along the same 44 mm length using a High Speed Steel (HSS) cutting tool. After the turning process, the surface roughness of the workpieces was measured using a Mitutoyo SJ-201P Surface Tester. The results of this study show that at main cutting angles of 80° and 90° and feed rates of 0.070 mm/rev, 0.281 mm/rev, and 0.450 mm/rev, the smallest surface roughness value achieved was Ra = 2.88 µm, corresponding to surface roughness grade N7, which occurred at a main cutting angle of 80° and a feed rate of 0.070 mm/rev. Meanwhile, the highest surface roughness value was Ra = 8.85 µm, corresponding to surface roughness grade N9, which occurred at a main cutting angle of 90° and a feed rate of 0.450 mm/rev.

Abstract

Teluk Sirih Steam Power Plant (PLTU) is a coal-fired power plant with a capacity of 2 × 112 MW, utilizing a Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) boiler. One of the critical components in this system is the High Pressure Heater (HPH), which functions as a feedwater preheater to improve the thermal efficiency of the cycle. This research aims to analyze the heat transfer performance of HPH 1 and HPH 2, and to identify the factors contributing to the efficiency decline. The analysis methods include calculations of Terminal Temperature Difference (TTD), Drain Cooler Approach (DCA), Temperature Rise (TR), Log Mean Temperature Difference (LMTD), Heat Capacity Ratio, and thermal effectiveness (ε). Data were collected from performance tests conducted in 2024 and compared with commissioning data from 2014. The results indicate a performance degradation in the HPH units, as shown by increased TTD and DCA values and decreased effectiveness. This decline is suspected to be caused by fouling or damage to the heat exchange tubes, which adversely affects water heating efficiency. The study recommends regular maintenance and cleaning measures to restore the performance of the HPH units. This research is expected to contribute to improving plant efficiency and reducing fuel consumption.

Abstract

The Liquid Ring Vacuum Pump (LRVP) is an important component in geothermal power plant systems that functions to extract non-condensable gases (NCG) such as H₂S, CO₂, and N₂ in order to maintain optimal condensation processes in the power generation system. One of the common problems occurring in pump systems is shaft misalignment, which can lead to increased vibration, temperature, and accelerated damage to components such as bearings and couplings. This study aims to analyze the alignment condition of the LRVP pump shaft using the laser alignment method as part of condition monitoring activities in the maintenance system at PT Supreme Energy Muara Laboh. The research method was carried out by measuring shaft alignment using a laser alignment device installed on the coupling between the motor, gearbox, and pump. The measurement data were then analyzed by comparing the alignment values with the tolerance limits specified by the equipment manufacturer. The results indicate that shaft misalignment can be caused by several factors such as installation errors, unstable foundations, operational vibrations, and inadequate maintenance of pump components. Misalignment that exceeds the tolerance limits may increase vibration and temperature, which can lead to damage to bearings and other mechanical components. Therefore, periodic monitoring and shaft alignment using the laser alignment method are essential to maintain pump performance and improve the operational reliability of geothermal power plant systems.
