Abstract

In this journal, we will explain the use of Magnetorheological fluid (MRF) in body armor. The use of MRF material was chosen because its properties can be adjusted using external magnetic forces. The durability of the material structure will be tested using a 9 mm projectile and will be tested using a puncture. In tests carried out with projectiles, the MRF structure will experience a reduction in depth. Testing using a puncture will change the MRF structure to deform by 30% of the normal structure. The application of MRF to kevlar can increase energy absorption and can reduce the effects of bullet impacts. These results show quite good results compared to using other materials in making Kevlar. Apart from that, several advantages of MRFs from graphene in making body armor are also explained. This advantage was obtained from testing the mechanical properties of graphene against several other materials.

Abstract

Cooling Tower or cooling tower is a technology used in the industrial world, cooling tower works to cool water fluid by using wind power that comes from a fan or blower, how the cooling tower works is basically hot water coming from the machine is flowed to the cooling tower then water through the fill-fills that are in the cooling tower and in direct contact with the air, the cooling tower is focused on reducing the temperature of the inlet water until it leaves it, while the water temperature reading uses a thermocouple sensor. A thermocouple is a temperature sensor capable of reading temperatures from -200 ℃ to 1200 ℃. This cooling tower uses arduino mega circuit, PCB board, MAX6675 module and thermocouple. How to read the temperature on the cooling tower using a computer or laptop with Microsoft Excel that is already connected to the PLX-DAQ software. The data that has been obtained is then tested using SPSS (Statiscal Product and Service Solutions) software, testing using 3 types, namely normal distribution, standard deviation, and reliability. The overall results of the thermocouple sensor on the Wet Cooling Tower show normal performance according to statistical testing, including normal distribution, standard deviation, and reliability. All data and values obtained have met the established standards

Abstract

Material testing before use in combat vehicles is critical. The aim is to detect and resolve defects in combat vehicle materials so that the vehicle can operate optimally. This research aims to improve the structural performance of combat vehicles by focusing on dissimilar welding material testing. The materials observed in this study were MIL-DTL 46100 Armor and ISO-15608 1.2 Non-Armor, which were evaluated through metallographic analysis (to examine microstructure) and Vickers Microhardness testing (to assess hardness). This was done to ensure that the materials used in combat vehicles can effectively deal with various threats. Results showed that metallographic observation of the HAZ of the three specimens revealed that the microstructure was dominated by acicular ferrite. This structure is highly desirable in welding joints. Generally, the non-armor material (ISO-15608 1.2) has a lower range of HV values than the armor material (MIL-DTL-46100). This indicates that the armor material has a higher hardness, which suits the needs of protection applications.

Abstract

Oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) fiber is an agricultural waste that has potential as an environmentally friendly acoustic material. The high cellulose and hemicellulose content in TKKS plays a role in its ability to absorb sound, making it a more sustainable alternative to synthetic materials. This research aims to summarize and analyze studies related to the acoustic characteristics of TKKS, fiber processing, and the value of the sound absorption coefficient produced at various frequencies. The methods used in processing acoustic composites made from TKKS include mixing with polyester resin and hand lay-up techniques. The results of the analysis show that the TKKS composite material has good sound absorption capability at low to medium frequencies, with an absorption coefficient that meets the ISO 11654 standard. In addition, this study identified variables such as fiber length, composite thickness, and chemical treatment as important factors in optimizing the acoustic performance of TKKS. The results of this review are expected to provide insights for the utilization of TKKS as a sustainable acoustic material solution in the construction and soundproofing industries.

Abstract

The function of lubricants for combustion engine technology and energy conversion machines is very important. It is like a human body without blood will experience death. Steam turbines are a source of electrical energy that can produce large amounts of electrical power. Steam turbines can work well with a number of components needed, including a lubrication system. When the turbine rotates, friction occurs between the bearings and the generator, so to minimize friction and wear, lubricants are needed. Lubricants not only function to prevent wear and tear but also function to transfer heat, remove dirt and cool turbine and generator bearings. A good lubrication system will greatly influence the working reliability of the steam turbine with optimal electrical power production results. On the other hand, if the turbine lubricant system does not work optimally, friction and wear will occur and cause corrosion which will result in damage to the steam turbine thrust bearing components. The research method used is qualitative research, namely data collection through field observations, interviews, lubricant tests in the laboratory and bibliography. The conclusion of this research: the reason the steam turbine lubrication system is not optimal is that the lubricant is contaminated with solid and liquid particles, especially water contamination. This is based on the results of lubricant analysis in the tribology laboratory on November 6 2023 with a lubricant usage period of 11,775 km and water contamination in the lubricant of 4,202 ppm. This figure exceeds the minimum threshold of 200 ppm. Then the next sampling on December 9 2023 with a lubricant usage period of 12,495 Km found water content contamination of 1,064 ppm. And then for the last sampling on July 23 2024 with a lubricant usage period of 16,815 km, water content contamination was still found at 1,165 ppm. After further inspection by the maintenance team in the field, it was found that the source of the water contamination problem came from a leak in the steam turbine gland because the seal strip had over-clearance due to its long life time. This causes some of the turbine steam to enter the lubricant in the bearing. This damage will be repaired during the Major Overhaul because the turbine must be dismantled. A temporary solution, a separator is installed continuously to separate oil and water.

Abstract

The engineering of an Arduino Uno-based gas leak detection device with an MQ-2 sensor was created to optimize security against gas leaks that occur. The public must know the signs of a leak, such as smelling gas, a hissing sound in the gas line and so on. The aim of engineering this tool is to create an Arduino Uno-based gas leak detection tool that uses the MQ-2 sensor on the LPG regulator. Gas leaks can cause risks such as fire and explosion, so it is important to have a gas detection system. When the sensor detects the presence of gas, the system will trigger a buzzer to provide an audible alarm and turn on the LED light as a visual indicator. The LCD will display the detection status with clear text, namely "Leak Danger" when gas is detected, and "Safe" when there is no leak. The test was carried out using a 3 kg LPG gas cylinder, with the results showing that the MQ-2 sensor could detect gas within 3 seconds. The results of this test prove that the tool developed is able to provide a fast response to gas leaks, so it can be a solution to increase the safety of LPG use.

Abstract

Durian fruit is one of the most popular fruits in Indonesia. Half of the durian fruit is the peel, which produces a lot of waste. The durian peel is not useful and also has no economic value. Durian peel contains fibers that have the potential to be utilized. The utilization of durian peel fiber as a composite natural fiber is an effort to reduce waste from the peels. Improvement of the properties of durian peel fibers can be applied by alkali treatment of the fibers. The purpose of this study is to obtain the cellulose content, tensile strength and impact toughness of durian peel fiber reinforced polymer composites by varying the alkali treatment of the fibers. The volume fraction of fiber and matrix composite was used 50:50. This study varied 0% alkali, fiber alkali as follows: 5% NaOH, 5% NaOH + 3% H2O2, 5% KOH. The results showed the highest cellulose content of 59.48% in the 5% NaOH + 3% H2O2 treatment. It was found that the optimum tensile strength was 8.58 MPa in the 5% NaOH + 3% H2O2 fiber treatment. The highest impact toughness of 2.8 kJ/m2 was obtained in 0% alkali treatment of fiber composite.

Abstract

Along with the development of technological products that can provide comfort and convenience for human life which will depend on the innovation of more complex product functions for consumers that will continue to be used, therefore it is necessary to design lightweight brick molds that are ergonomic and able to meet customer demands. The design of the lightweight brick mold was carried out using the Pahl and Beitz method by applying the REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment) method for proposed improvements by evaluating the worker's overall posture. The aim of this research is to produce an ergonomic design that is able to meet every customer request. The results of the research showed that measurements of work posture carried out by light brick workers had to take corrective action because it showed level 10, which means it was at level 4 (dangerous conditions). By reducing dangerous angles on body parts, a better working body posture is obtained with a REBA score of 3 which is included in risk level 2 (Low risk) based on worker anthropometric processing where each data is sufficient and uniform, so that a lightweight brick mold design can be produced. reduces the risk of injury to musculoskeletal disorders for workers with dimensions of mold length 100 cm, width 51.27 cm, mold height 60 cm, mold handle length 29 cm, mold handle width 9 cm

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the role of biocatalysts based on activated biocarbon from areca nut shell waste in improving the ignition performance of sunflower seed oil droplets as an alternative fuel. Sunflower seed oil, which is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, has strong intermolecular binding forces that slow down its ignition. To overcome this, biocatalysts from activated areca nut shells were used. FTIR analysis showed an increase in the ability of fuel molecules to absorb heat, while TEM studies revealed that biocarbons have high porosity and uniform particle distribution, which supports combustion efficiency. Observations of temperature and droplet evolution using thermocouples and high-speed microscope cameras showed a significant increase in the ignition rate. The results indicate that this biocatalyst not only improves ignition efficiency but also utilizes organic waste, making it an environmentally friendly and sustainable fuel solution.

Abstract

This research aims to optimize the properties of biofiber made from sisal fiber through modification with stearic acid. Sisal fiber is known to have high potential as a natural raw material, but its mechanical properties still need to be improved for wider industrial applications. The modification process is carried out by soaking the sisal fiber in a stearic acid solution with varying concentrations.  Laboratory tests were carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of modifying the physical properties of sisal biofiber in the form of 1 cm short fiber fibers and 200 mesh sisal powder to determine the most effective modification between the two fiber sizes. Based on the results obtained, the highest cellulose, namely 64.7%, was obtained from the results of impregnation of the fiber. The lignin content decreased in impregnated sisal fiber to 9.2% from 12.48% without treatment. The results of NDF which produce cellulose and lignin levels are strengthened by SEM results on 4% sisal fiber. These results show that the sisal fiber without stearic acid treatment shows a greater distribution of lignin compared to the sisal fiber treated with 4% stearic acid.
