Abstract

State Polytechnic of Malang (Polinema) actively participated in the energy-efficient car competition. The Polinema team has developed an energy-efficient car called Ken Arok, which competes in the urban ethanol class (Internal Combustion Engine) concept. This class emphasizes using internal combustion engines as the driving force and ethanol as the fuel. Ken Arok won fifth place in the competition due to obstacles in the programmed ECU program, especially in the injection duration. This study examines the effect of the interaction between injection duration and injection time variations on the torque and power output of the Ken Arok urban car fueled by E100 ethanol. An experimental approach was used in this study. A modified motor, converted into an energy-efficient urban car, was tested. The injection duration mapping was varied in multiples of 2 ms, with values ​​ranging from 2 ms less than the standard to 2 ms more than the standard. Likewise, the injection time was varied in multiples of 2 degrees, including 2 degrees less than the standard and 2 degrees more than the standard. The dyno tester measured the torque and power generated under these conditions. The main objective of this study was to identify the optimal torque and power settings for the Ken Arok energy-efficient engine. The highest torque value recorded was 10.13 N.m, achieved at 6000 rpm when using an injection duration of 2 ms more than the standard (9.06 ms) and an injection timing advanced by 2 degrees (3580). The peak power output reached 8.7 HP at 6000 rpm under compression injection duration plus 2 ms (9.06 ms), and when the injection was advanced by 20 (3580).

Abstract

The motorcycle wheel shaft is a vital component that significantly impacts vehicle performance and rider safety. This study is motivated by the need to ensure an optimal wheel shaft design, considering its critical role in transmitting power, bearing loads, and maintaining the motorcycle's stability. The approach used in this research employs the Finite Element Method (FEM) through SolidWorks software to evaluate Von Mises stress, strain, and the factor of safety, with carbon steel a material known for its strength and corrosion resistance as the primary material. The analysis results reveal a maximum stress of 2.827x108 N/m², a maximum Displacement of 4.252x10-3 mm, and a minimum factor of safety of 5.111x102, indicating a reliable design. The study identifies critical areas prone to failure. Using a simulation-based approach, this research underscores the importance of FEM analysis in the development of safe and efficient mechanical components, contributing to enhanced performance and safety of vehicles.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of thermostat conditions on thermal stability and exhaust emission efficiency in a 1,300 cc inline 4-cylinder gasoline engine. The novelty of this research lies in the integrated evaluation of thermostat removal and thermostat failure on both engine temperature stability and combustion emissions under identical operating conditions. A quantitative experimental method was applied using three thermostat conditions: normal thermostat, without thermostat, and clogged/damaged thermostat. Cooling system temperature and exhaust emissions (CO, HC, and CO₂) were measured at idle speed (800–1000 rpm) for 10 minutes with 2-minute intervals. The data were analyzed using descriptive comparative statistical analysis. The results show that the normal thermostat maintained the most stable operating temperature, reaching 95.8°C at the 8th minute. In contrast, the engine without a thermostat experienced unstable temperature increases and reached 93.4°C at the 10th minute, while the clogged thermostat condition produced the highest temperature of 96.6°C, indicating overheating potential. Removing the thermostat increased CO emissions from 0.01% to 0.04% and HC emissions from 31.7 ppm to 52.3 ppm. These findings confirm that thermostat condition significantly affects engine thermal stability and combustion efficiency; therefore, thermostat removal is not recommended.
