Abstract

Tires have the main function of the vehicle to sustain the strength of the vehicle. Damage to tires that often occurs is punctured and broken. One way to repair it is by patching the inner tube. The purpose of this study was to find out the optimal heating time when patching tires. Tires are said to have optimal strength when they have strong adhesion and have no defects when given air pressure. The sample preparation method used is conventional tire patching. The tests carried out were adhesive testing, macro testing, FTIR testing, and thickness testing. The inner tube used is natural rubber. The test results show that the heating time of 15 minutes has the highest adhesive strength and the bond between the tire patch and the patch glue is well connected. However, the longer the heating time, the thinner the inner tube becomes. The thinner the inner tube causes the "swelling" defect in the inner tube when the inner tube is given air. The results of the FTIR test show that the rubber glue patches are natural rubber materials. So that the adhesion that occurs this time is the relationship between natural rubber and natural rubber

Abstract

This study discusses the development of a two-stage adsorption application to enhance methane content in biogas. The adsorption process utilizes zeolite sourced from Lombok Island. To achieve this objective, the zeolite is activated using HCl and KOH solutions, each with concentrations of 3 Molar and 20%, respectively. Additionally, the zeolite is physically activated by heating it in a furnace at 300°C for 3 hours, followed by chemical activation. Research findings indicate that activation of zeolite with these compounds yields a significant increase in methane content compared to adsorption using non-activated zeolite. The improvement in methane content reaches at least 45%. These results demonstrate substantial potential in enhancing biogas production efficiency through two-stage adsorption using chemically activated zeolite. Additionally, this outcome underscores the understanding that without activation, zeolite from Lombok cannot function optimally as an adsorbent.

Abstract

One of the polymer materials widely used in the field of engineering construction to be a candidate to replace metal materials is unsaturated polyester. This reason is because this material has many advantages such as low mass, ease of shape and resistance to moisture. However, this material still has many shortcomings, including low mechanical strength and easy cracking. Unsaturated polyester polymer material is widely used as a matrix for making composite materials for engineering fields such as vehicles and ship hulls. This research studies the flexural strength of composite materials from unsaturated polyester reinforced with finely ground sugarcane fibre. From the results of flexural strength testing, it is known that there is a tendency towards the variable addition of finely ground sugarcane fibre. increases from 10% to 20%, and after 20% the bending stress value tends to decrease. The maximum flexural stress value was obtained by adding a percentage of finely ground sugarcane fibre. with a percentage of 20% 102.32 MPa, this value can increase the maximum flexural stress value of pure polyester by 42.52 MPa, showing an increase of 249.63%

Abstract

Welded joints, which encompass the criteria of welding base metal connections in the material, welding speed, material quality, and material toughness, are an integral aspect of tank construction. Steel material joints frequently fail during the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) and Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) welding procedures because air droplets become trapped in the steel material during the welding process. Finding the primary reasons for welding failures is the goal of this study. Impact and microstructure testing are used in the welding research method on SS400 steel. The FCAW welding process uses E71T-1C (Kobe) Electrodes Steel Familiarc AWS A5.2 E71T-1C) at varying currents of 80 A (Root), 100 A (Filler), and 120 A (Capping), against SS400 steel plate material with a thickness of 10 mm x 200 mm x 200 mm in V Buut seams Joints. The GTAW ER 70 SG (Familiarc Filler/Rods TG-S51T) Electrode classification allows for 90 A (Root), 110 A (Filler), and 120 A (Capping). Plate 1 has a value of 36.3 kJ/inch in the heat input calculation findings at the three section sites, while Plate 2 has the highest value of 61 kJ/inch. In the meantime, FCAW plate 2 has an impact strength value of 142.1 J, and plate 1 has an average hit in the test results at each of the three places of the specimen, according to the impact test findings. Three welding parameter points were used to record the findings of the metallographic testing's microstructure observations. plates 1 and 2 on the capping, filler, and root. being aware of the areas in the welded junction between plates 1 and 2 that are impacted by heat in the microstructure. Because of the material's strong heat input, which makes the steel brittle and promotes the formation of pearlite rather than ferrite, plate 2 has the highest value in the impact test

Abstract

This study investigates the performance of TiAlN/TiN PVD-coated carbide tools in high-speed, dry machining of AISI 1070 alloy steel. AISI 1070 is a high-carbon steel known for its exceptional hardness, making tool wear a significant challenge. The research focuses on evaluating tool wear, wear mechanisms, and optimal cutting parameters. Quantitative assessments of flank wear (VB) were conducted, alongside detailed Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analyses to identify the primary wear mechanisms, such as abrasion and adhesion. The study determined that the optimal cutting conditions for minimal tool wear include a cutting speed of 231 m/min, a feed rate of 0.1 mm/rev, and a depth of cut of 1 mm. The TiAlN/TiN coatings significantly enhanced the tools' wear resistance and longevity, maintaining their cutting-edge sharpness under strenuous conditions. Additionally, the coatings effectively minimized the formation of white layers on the machined surface, preserving the mechanical properties and surface integrity of the alloy. These findings demonstrate the coatings' superiority in reducing friction and heat generation during high-speed machining. The study provides valuable insights for industrial applications, highlighting the potential of TiAlN/TiN-coated carbide tools to improve tool performance, operational efficiency, and overall productivity in high-speed machining environments.

Abstract

The engineering of composite mortar materials presents substantial economic advantages and significant potential for advancement in the construction sector, particularly through applications such as plant vases, coral transplant media, seawalls, wall decorations, bricks, paving blocks, and acoustic panels. The use of fly ash, an industrial byproduct, can facilitate the production of high-quality materials in alignment with the government’s circular economy initiatives. This study employs a mortar mixture with a 1:1 ratio combined with varying compositions of fly ash at 10%, 30%, and 50%, utilizing an experimental testing approach that includes a static load compression test. The purpose of the compression testing apparatus is to ascertain the compressive strength characteristics and the mass percentage of the materials. The findings revealed that the maximum compressive strength achieved with 10% fly ash was 34.07 MPa; however, variations in the fly ash composition led to a reduction in the material's toughness properties by 10.42% and 16.53%, respectively. The recorded compressive strength values comply with the quality standards set forth in SNI 03-0691-1996 for paving blocks classified as type B quality. Furthermore, the variations in composition positively influenced the mass percentage, with considerable increases of 66.67% and 45.33% corresponding to the differing fly ash compositions.

Abstract

The heat energy from the hot water source of Mount Sinabung can be used as a source of electrical energy before being channeled as a source of hot water baths. The hot water flow has a fairly high temperature and a flow rate that can be converted into a source of electricity generation using a Micro Hydro Power Plant (PLTMH) and Thermoelectric Generator (TEG). This data collection was simulated using a heat source designed in a reservoir and a cold water flow that is channeled into the PLTMH-TEG system space as a source of temperature delta. This paper aims to study the TEG series TEG1-199-1.4-0.5 and the Archimedes screw Turbine (PLTMH) as a Hybrid Generator (Green Energy). Data analysis was carried out to calculate the system power output, battery charging time, and efficiency of the TEG and PLTMH. Data analysis in this study applies the Internet of Things (IoT). Test data shows that the maximum output parameter of the PLTMH during testing, obtained a maximum voltage of 20.42 Vdc. The maximum current is 759.75 mA and the maximum water discharge is 2.31 m3/s. In the TEG system, the power generated by the TEG is 20.64 watts at a temperature difference of 70.5˚C. It is concluded that the higher the amount of discharge flowing into the Archimedes turbine system and the temperature difference absorbed by the TEG, the greater the power that will be generated and vice versa.
