Abstract

Erosive wear often occurs on heavy machinery operating under extreme conditions. This research utilizes the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method with the Cowper-Symonds strain rate model to analyze the erosion behavior of high-Cr cast iron (HCCI) under different impact angles and compare it to other materials of different characteristics, such as 6061-T6 Aluminium, GH4720Li Superalloy, and Stainless Steel 304 Annealed. A single particle erosion model was made for this study. The erodent particle size used is 0.7 mm in diameter, with the target material measuring 1 x 1 x 0.5 mm. The particle velocity is kept constant at 25 m/s. Based on the simulation results, it can be known that HCCI performs the best at every impact angle. Moreover, from the model's cross-section, it's evident that the material's stress concentration aligns with the direction of movement of the erodent particle. Therefore, it can be concluded that these factors, along with others such as contact time, plastic strain, and surface deformation lead to variations in surface mechanics.

Abstract

Renewable energy transition is a strategic step in overcoming environmental damage due to fossil fuel exploitation. Ocean wave energy comes with its popularity, considering its advantages in supplying energy continuously and having high energy density. Therefore, technology that can extract other wave energy effectively and efficiently is needed. This study focuses on identification flap geometry to improve the oscillating wave surge converter (OWSC) hydrodynamic performance. Through a numerical approach, the Boundary Element Method (BEM) is applied in three-dimensional flap modeling to accommodate testing the characteristics and performance of the OWSC device. This study identified five different samples: geometry 1, geometry 2, geometry 3, geometry 4, and geometry 5. The results show that the second geometry variation is the most optimal flap dimension parameter. The best proportion is found in the dimensional characteristics parallel to the elevation of the ocean waves to maximize the output torque. Overall, the second geometry performs satisfactorily with an average maximum power achievement of 41.52 Watts at a wave period of T = 1.5s. In addition, the OWSC device with this variation can work at an expansive wave period interval with a maximum CWR efficiency achievement of up to 52.14%.

Abstract

The latest energy demand increasingly drives innovation in ocean wave energy technology, including the Oscillating Wave Surge Converter (OWSC). This consider analyzes the impact of water profundity varieties on the execution of OWSCs put on the seabed. The study was conducted numerically using the Boundary Element Method by testing four variations of air depth at wave periods between 1.2 and 2.8 seconds and wave amplitudes of 0.1 meters. The results show that the optimal depth, equivalent to the flap height (D2), produces the highest maximum displacement due to the balance between hydrostatic pressure and wave energy the flap receives. Conversely, depths that are too shallow (D1) or too deep (D4) result in smaller displacements due to the instability of the movement in shallow air and the attenuation of wave energy in deep air. In addition, more extended wave periods tend to decrease the changing cycle frequency but increase the symmetry of the flap movement at a certain depth.

Abstract

The orifice plate is a device that disrupts the flow in the pipe. The disturbed flow results in the formation of flow structures. The flow structure formed can be utilized for several applications such as multi-fluid mixing and microbubble generator. Using orifice plates to utilize the flow structure results in more significant pressure loss. This study aims to identify the characteristics of the flow structure generated by single and double orifice plates with 1D and 2D spacing at various Reynolds numbers, namely Re = 1×104, 5×104, 1×105, and 5×105, as a basis for application in these various applications. The results show that single and double orifice plates can produce flow structure phenomena such as recirculation and vortex regions. The recirculation area is formed smaller in the double orifice plate due to the flow that is separated faster to converge back to the pipe wall but broader so that the flow of the orifice plate is narrower. Increasing the applied Reynold's number causes the separated flow to reconnect to the pipe wall faster, resulting in a smaller recirculation area. Double orifice plates are more suitable for applications that require a certain degree of mixing or pressure distribution, but with a consequent more significant pressure loss. Meanwhile, single plates can be used for simple needs with little pressure loss.

Abstract

The culinary industry, especially banana chip processing, dramatically supports the economy of micro and small enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia. However, the traditional process is time-consuming, especially at the cutting stage. The banana-slicing machine is designed to speed up this process with consistent and efficient cuts. This study analyzes the performance of the banana-slicing machine frame by testing variations in loading (20 N to 200 N) and frame materials, namely Low Alloy Steel, Structural Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminum Alloy, and Cast Iron, to determine the optimal material. The results showed that Low Alloy Steel is the best material because it has the lowest total deformation, equivalent stress, and strain energy, reflecting high stiffness and load efficiency. With an elastic modulus of 212.5 GPa and an economical price ($1.3–1.5/kg), this material offers the best balance in terms of technical and economics. Structural steel also performed well but was slightly lower than low alloy steel. In contrast, Aluminum Alloy has the highest deformation and strain energy, making it less suitable for this application. Overall, Low Alloy Steel is an ideal choice to improve the efficiency and reliability of the banana-slicing machine.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of impact velocity on the erosion behavior of GH4720Li superalloy with and without Cr₃C₂–NiCr coating using Finite Element Analysis. Silica particles (0.7 mm) were modeled at velocities of 25–125 m/s under normal impact. Results show that increasing velocity raises the maximum Von Mises stress before reaching a dynamic equilibrium. Coated specimens exhibited nearly twice the stress values of uncoated ones, indicating better load distribution and initial damage resistance. At low velocities (25–50 m/s), the coating reduced plastic deformation by absorbing impact energy. However, at higher velocities (≥75 m/s), the coating transferred more energy to the substrate, causing greater plastic strain than in uncoated material. These findings demonstrate that cermet coatings improve erosion resistance at low-to-moderate velocities but have limited performance under high-velocity impacts

Abstract

It is widely believed that bionic airfoils can influence aerodynamic performance. Therefore, this study focuses on analyzing the effect of a bio-inspired nose on the NACA 4415 airfoil. This study uses roughtoothed dolphins and spinner dolphins as modifications of the airfoil, which are then tested at Re = 1.6×105 using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). From the simulation results, it was shown that the baseline NACA 4415 has the best aerodynamic performance across all Angles of Attack (AoA). The average percentage increase in Cd for the spinner dolphin is lower, at 40.399% compared to the baseline. On the other hand, the roughtoothed dolphin shows a higher percentage increase in Cd with an average of 51.479% compared to the baseline. While in the Cl data, the rough-toothed dolphin has a larger average percentage decrease, at -10.472%, whereas the spinner dolphin achieves an average decrease of only -5.194% compared to the baseline. Therefore, it can be concluded that the rough-toothed and spinner dolphin modifications do not enhance the aerodynamic performance of the NACA 4415 airfoil at AoA. However, at low AoA, the roughtoothed dolphin modification performs comparably to the baseline NACA 4415 airfoil.

Abstract

Fluid flow around an object plays an important role in various fields, including aerodynamics, building design, and transportation. This study examines the effect of three two-dimensional bluff body shapes, including Circular, Square, and Diamond, on the flow pattern, drag and lift coefficients, and vortex shedding characteristics. The methodology used is Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation for incompressible flow with a Reynolds number of 100. The results show that variations in geometric shapes significantly affect the shape formation, flow stability, and aerodynamic force response. The three bluff body variations were found to produce fluctuating aerodynamic characteristics due to the influence of the von Kármán vortex phenomenon. In the diamond cylinder variation, it was found to be the configuration with the widest shape, having the highest average drag coefficient value of 1.84, and exhibiting the most significant force amplification, with an average lift coefficient value of 0.36 and a Strouhal number (St) of 0.18. Overall, variations in bluff body shapes significantly affect the flow pattern, Vortex Shedding frequency, and the total aerodynamic force acting on the object

Abstract

This research evaluates the thermal performance of a liquid cooling system with serpentine channel inlets for an 18650 cylindrical lithium-ion battery module. The study analyzed an eight-cell module with a baseline configuration and variations featuring two, three, and four serpentine curves using computational fluid dynamics simulations validated against previous experiments. A fixed mass flow rate of 0.0001 kg/s was applied. Results showed all configurations-maintained battery temperatures below 37.5°C, preventing thermal runaway. The Baseline configuration achieved the lowest maximum temperature of 37.447°C and the highest performance factor (J/F factor) of 0.053. The two serpentine curves offered the best temperature uniformity (1.114°C) and highest heat transfer coefficient. Although more serpentine curves reduced maximum temperature, they increased pressure drop, decreasing the J/F factor. The study concludes that the serpentine cold plate design effectively manages thermal containment, with the two-curve configuration providing the best balance of heat transfer and temperature stability.
