Abstract

The hydraulic ram pump is one form of green energy used to convey water by utilizing the water hammer effect. The main parameter influencing the performance of a hydraulic ram pump is the water energy source. Most researchers modify the hydraulic ram pump design based on the installation site, which limits the variation of design or operating conditions due to the complexity and geographical constraints in the field. The main contribution of this work is the development of a vertical-type hydraulic ram pump simulator that enables controlled laboratory investigation of design modifications and operating parameter optimization, overcoming the limitations of site-specific field installations. The research applies a design and experimental method. The design process begins with defining design constraints and calculating the flow based on the Bernoulli equation, flow rate, head loss, and rule-of-thumb operational conditions for hydraulic ram pumps. The results show that the flow rate significantly affects the pump efficiency. Flow rates of 0.6 L/s, 0.8 L/s, 0.9 L/s, and 1 L/s. The range pressure of P1 are 50-60 mBar, 8-90 mBar, 80-120 mBar, and 100-140 mBar.  The range pressure of P2 are 120-125 mBar, 20-40mBar, 20-40mBar, and 85-120 mBar. Therefore, the yielded average efficiencies are 5.3%, 1.6%, 3.9%, and 3.5%, respectively. The developed hydraulic ram pump simulator achieved the highest efficiency (5.3%) at a flow rate of 0.6 L/s, P1 50-60 mBar, and P2 120-125 mBar. It can be observed that an increase in drive pipe flow rate does not always correspond to an increase in efficiency. However, the efficiency is more strongly determined by the pressure generated by the water hammer.

Abstract

An Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV) is an automated vehicle used to support the delivery of food and beverages in restaurant service systems, where manual methods still carry risks of delays and spillage. This study designs and builds a line-following AGV using a Quality Function Deployment (QFD) approach with screening and scoring concepts to translate user needs into the technical specifications of the device. The research stages include needs identification, mechanical and electronic design, Arduino programming, and track testing. The AGV is capable of following a path with high accuracy using infrared sensors, automatically stopping at the destination, and detecting obstacles via ultrasonic sensors, with a buzzer serving as a delivery indicator. Test results show stable delivery performance with a relatively low spillage rate of 10%–13.33%. The AGV measures 40 × 30 × 43.6 cm, uses a 12 V battery, two DC motors, has a speed of 0.25 m/s, a maximum load capacity of 2 kg, and is controlled by an Arduino Uno with an integrated sensor system.
