Abstract

Radiator adalah suatu sistem atau komponen yang berfungsi utuk menjaga supaya temperatur mesin dalam kondisi ideal. Inhibitor anorganik telah terbukti dapat menurunkan laju korosi namun memiliki efek negatif karena materialnya yang tidak ramah lingkungan dan bersifat racun. Berdasarkan hal tersebut maka penggunaan inhibitor anorganik perlu dibatasi. Pada penelitian ini akan dibandingkan efisiensi inhibitor organik dan anorganik dalam menurunkan laju korosi. Inhibitor anorganik yang digunakan adalah Natrium Kromat (Na2CrO4) dengan konsentrasi 0,5%, 0,7%, dan 0,9%. Sedangkan inhibitor organik adalah Minyak Biji Kapas dengan variasi konsentrasi yaitu 25%, 30% dan 35% dalam waktu perendaman 21 hari dalam setiap inhibitor. Selanjutnya akan diuji ketahanan korosinya dengan media air biasa. Hasil pengujian laju korosi natrium kromat terendah pada konsentrasi 0,9% dengan nilai 0,0815 mm/y (0,628%) dengan waktu 21 hari. Laju korosi terendah pada konsentrasi 25% dengan nilai 0,1614 mm/y (0,273%). Penelitian ini menunjukan efisiensi perbandingan terbaik masih di lihat pada inhibitor anorganik natrium kromat, setaiap konsentrasi laju korosi semakin rendah.

Abstract

This research has the purpose to determine and understand the role of repelling magnetic field and the variation of eucalyptus oil bio-additives on flame evolution and exhaust emissions in burning palm oil droplets. Presently, the requirement for energy is increasing, so people must look for alternative energy of fuels. Because the availability of fossil fuels cannot be renewed and their existence is increasingly depleting. This situation really forces us to develop vegetable oil as a new energy source, one of which is palm oil. This research method uses a direct testing method on palm oil which is given a variation of a mixture of eucalyptus oil bio-additives a droplet diameter of 0.3-0.4 mm at a thermocouple diameter of 0.12 mm with magnetic field strength of 10,000 Gauss and heated by heater component. This research has found that the role of repelling magnetic field N-N (north-north) and variations in eucalyptus oil bio-additives have a major influence on the evolution time of the flame. The mixture of 10% bio-additive produces the shortest flame time of 1600 milliseconds, the lowest flame height with a value of 5.74 mm, and the highest temperature of 894.25oC compared to other bio-additive variations. CO exhaust gas at 6% bio-additive produces the lowest value of 33 ppm while NOx exhaust gas at 10% bio-additive produces the lowest value of 545 ppm.

Abstract

The development of the industrial world is getting faster from time to time. The manufacturing industry is one of the industries that is very developed, especially in the use of technology. Although there have been some studies on the tensile strength of PLA filaments however, it is not yet clear about the effect of annealing treatment on the tensile strength of PLA filaments from 3D printers. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effect of annealing temperature on the tensile strength of polylactic acid material printed by 3D printers. This research uses experimental methods with the following conditions: The filament used is polylactic acid (PLA), specimens are printed to ISO 527-2 standard and the annealing treatment temperature are 50⁰C and 70⁰C. From the results of testing and data analysis that has been carried out, it can be concluded that annealing treatment is quite influential on the tensile strength value of polylactic acid (PLA) materials. The greater the annealing temperature, the higher the tensile strength value. At 50⁰C annealing the average tensile strength value is 15.89 MPa, while at 70⁰C annealing the average tensile strength value is 16.66 MPa.

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of variations in friction time on welded joints of dissimilar materials and hardness values. The method used is the friction welding method. One of the materials widely used in industrial products is mild steel AISI 1037 and stainless steel 304. One of the tools used is a bar-plate upright rotary friction welding machine. The parameters used are friction time variations of 25-35 seconds, 55-65 seconds and 115-125 seconds with a rotational speed of 2,484 rpm, friction pressure of 0.5 MPa, forging pressure of 0.7 MPa, forging time of 10 seconds. From the results of the connection several tests were carried out, namely liquid penetrant , macro observation and hardness test. The results of liquid penetrant testing and macro observations showed no influence on the welding area. The results of hardness testing have an influence on the hardness value. In the interface area, the friction time variation of 120 seconds has the highest hardness value of 161.67 VHN. The lowest hardness value in the interface area with a friction time variation of 30 seconds is 152.90 VHN. Where the longer the friction time, the hardness value also increases.
