Abstract

The cooling tower is a crucial component in industrial cooling systems, serving to dissipate heat from the working fluid. One of the main structural elements in a cooling tower is the bolt, which connects various components and plays a role in bearing mechanical loads. This study aims to perform numerical modeling and simulation of bolts within the cooling tower structure to understand the stress and deformation distribution under operational loads. The simulation was conducted using the finite element method based on ANSYS software, applying a pretension force of 200 Nm and a thermal load of 40 °C. The results show a maximum stress of 0.327 MPa at the contact area between the bolt head and the connecting plate, with a total deformation of 5.08×10⁻⁵ mm. The observed stress concentration indicates a potential risk of fatigue failure at the joint. This study provides valuable insights into the optimization of bolt design and material selection to enhance the cooling tower's resistance to operational loads.

Abstract

Biomass residue plays an essential role in rural communities due to its abundance, affordability, and renewable nature. This study examined the influence of cow dung (KS) and coconut husk (SK) composition and particle size on briquette properties, including density, moisture, ash content, and calorific value. Briquettes were produced using three compositions (80KS20SK, 70KS30SK, and 50KS50SK) and two particle sizes (40 and 80 mesh) under a densification pressure of 10 MPa. The 70KS30SK briquette with 80 mesh particles showed the highest density (≈312.38 kg/m³) and the lowest moisture content (≈1.98%). Smaller particle size improved bonding and reduced pore formation, enhancing density. Meanwhile, the 50KS50SK mixture produced briquettes with higher calorific value (13.05–14.36 MJ/kg) and lower ash content (17.16–21.59%) than other samples, indicating that composition affects energy content and residue formation. However, the calorific value and ash content did not meet the SNI 1683:2021 standards. Overall, the results highlight the potential of cow dung–coconut husk briquettes as a sustainable waste-to-energy option for rural applications.

Abstract

Photopolymer resins have widely applied in dentistry to fabricate temporary restorations. This work gives a complete characterization of a dental non-castable photopolymer resin prepared via Digital Light Processing (DLP) 3D printing. Specimens were printed at layer thicknesses of 0.05, 0.075, and 0.1 mm, followed by post-cured treatments under UV light for 10, 20, and 30 minutes. A series of material characterization tests were performed, including assessments of hardness, moisture absorption behavior, and density measurements. The results indicate that hardness and moisture content are significantly impacted by post-curing time, while extended curing times resulted in greater specimen’s hardness and decreased moisture content. An increase in layer thickness led to a gradual reduction in hardness. A maximum hardness value of 57.7 Shore D was observed in the 3D-printed specimen, along with a highest moisture content of 1.05% MC. As expected, the specimens exhibited consistent density (1.19 ± 0.02 g/cm³) throughout all layer thickness and curing time variations. This study highlights the critical need to understand how process parameters affect dental non-castable photopolymer resin properties prior to clinical implementation.

Abstract

Utilization of ocean wave energy is one of the renewable energy sources with high potential in Indonesia. The use of Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) has been widely developed by researchers, where the vortex will self-excite to create vibrations. Of course, its efficiency will increase when installed simultaneously to form a row. Wake Induced Vortex (WIV) has greater potential because it adds vibration through a vortex generator in a row of VIVs in the wake area. This study studied the characteristics of the vortex generator that will be used in WIV. The research method used CFD simulation Fluent 2025 with 3-dimensional geometry. The mesh used is 700 thousand in the form of a hexahedral. Independent mesh studies have been conducted so that the number of meshes 700 thousand is the most optimal and does not affect the simulation results. The Y+ value used is 1, so the mesh thickness close to the wall for Re 100,000 is 1 mm. The location of the flow separation greatly affects the vortex structure and shedding frequency of each geometry. Whereas airfoil produces bigger power but it has less frequency shedding than cylinder.

Abstract

Used cooking oil represents a promising alternative feedstock for biodiesel production due to its environmental benefits and economic feasibility. However, its direct utilization is limited by the high free fatty acid (FFA) content, which can interfere with the transesterification process. Therefore, a pretreatment process is required. This research investigates the effect of adding bleaching earth to the pretreatment process of used cooking oil (UCO) on the quality of the biodiesel produced. The research was conducted using a laboratory-scale experimental method with variations in the bleaching earth percentage from 0.5% to 2.0% (w/w). The findings indicate that bleaching earth significantly improves the quality of UCO as a biodiesel feedstock. Nevertheless, excessive addition of bleaching earth may lead to degradation effects and reduced stability of the biodiesel. Optimal performance, corresponding to compliance with SNI 7182:2015, was achieved with the addition of 1.0% bleaching earth. The resulting biodiesel had an acid number of 0.224 mg KOH/g, a density of 851.12 kg/m³, a viscosity of 4.44 cSt, a yield of 72.84% and a calorific value of 46.92 MJ/kg. Additionally, the physical quality, that is color of the biodiesel produced, is bright yellow.

Abstract

Paraffin-based phase change materials (PCMs) have great potential in thermal energy storage due to their ability to absorb and release energy during the freezing and melting processes. However, the stability of their thermal characteristics after undergoing repeated heating and cooling cycles remains a challenge for long-term applications. This study aims to evaluate the phase change temperature characteristics and latent heat capacity of paraffin after undergoing 0, 200, 400, and 600 repeated thermal cycles using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and T-history tests. The test results show that despite a slight decrease in freezing, melting temperatures changes in chemical structure after a number of cycles, paraffin still maintains its capacity to absorb and release energy quite efficiently. The latent heat capacity decreased from 142.77 J/g to 126.02 J/g over 600 cycles during the melting process. However, during the freezing process, it increased from 139.25 J/g to 147.55 J/g. These findings provide a scientific basis for optimizing paraffin-based PCM for reliable and sustainable thermal energy storage applications.

Abstract

This study develops an integrated aerodynamic optimization and simulation pipeline for fixed‑wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to improve mission efficiency while projecting lower carbon emissions through energy use reductions. A parametric geometry with airfoil selection, aspect ratio, sweep, taper, twist, and winglet controls is optimized using a multi‑objective genetic algorithm coupled to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation. Objectives minimize drag and mission power while maximizing lift‑to‑drag under representative cruise conditions. A data‑efficient power model links aerodynamic states to per‑mission energy, enabling rapid iteration as a surrogate within the optimization loop. To ensure reliability, the CFD solver was validated against NASA experimental benchmarks for the NACA 0012 airfoil, achieving a margin of error below 3%. The optimization results demonstrate a significant shift from traditional baseline designs. By adopting a non-symmetric air foil combination, NACA 4412 root and NACA 2412 tip, increasing the aspect ratio to 9.8, and implementing specific winglet cant angels, the optimized design achieved a 44.7% reduction in aerodynamic drag. Visual analysis through velocity and pressure contours confirmed cleaner flow fields and weakened wingtip vortices, which directly translate to lower propulsion power. Ultimately, this study delivers a reproducible design pipeline an a Pareto-optimal map for balancing aerodynamic efficiency with structural practicality. While emissions were not measured directly, the documented 44.7% reduction in drag and corresponding decrease in energy demand provide a strong indicator for the potential to lower the carbon footprint of future UAV operations.

Abstract

The increasing demand for fuel efficiency in the automotive industry, particularly in the sport utility vehicle (SUV) segment, has intensified research on factors influencing vehicle energy efficiency. One of the most important factors is vehicle aerodynamic performance, especially air resistance characterized by the drag coefficient. This study analyzes the influence of SUV body shape variations on aerodynamic performance and fuel consumption using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. Two SUV models with different body geometries, namely boxy and streamlined configurations, were analyzed under identical operating conditions to ensure a consistent comparison. The simulation results show that the streamlined model reduces the drag coefficient from 0.46 to 0.325, corresponding to an approximate 29% reduction compared to the boxy configuration. This aerodynamic improvement is associated with better fuel efficiency, particularly at higher vehicle speeds. At a speed of 120 km/h, the streamlined configuration achieves a fuel efficiency of 13.2 km/L, while the boxy configuration reaches only 9.03 km/L under the same conditions. These findings indicate that optimizing vehicle body geometry through aerodynamic design can significantly improve fuel efficiency and reduce aerodynamic resistance in SUV vehicles.

Abstract

The use of hydrogen peroxide or H2O2 as a fuel additive is known to improve the combustion quality of conventional fuels, including Indonesia’s biodiesel B35. Because H2O2 and B35 do not mix naturally, the H2O2 must be emulsified into B35 to ensure stable fuel delivery and consistent combustion. Conventional emulsification methods typically rely on chemical surfactants, which require a separate preparation step. This study therefore aimed to evaluate the effects of an H2O2–B35 emulsion (HPBE) produced without surfactants on diesel engine performance and emissions. The emulsion was prepared using B35 as the base fuel and 10% (v/v) of 30% aqueous H2O2 as the dispersed phase. Emulsification was carried out using an inline mixer known as the Real-Time Non-Surfactant Emulsion Fuel Supply System (RTES). Engine tests were performed on a Kubota Z482 operating at a constant speed of 2800 rpm under loads of 2.7, 8, 13, 19, and 26 Nm, applied using a Cussons eddy current dynamometer. The parameters measured include Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC), exhaust gas temperature (EGT) as well as Carbon Monoxide (CO), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions, and smoke opacity. The results showed that, compared to B35, HPBE improved all measured parameters across all loads. BSFC decreased, with the maximum reduction of 22.9% occurring at 8 Nm. At full load, HPBE produced the maximum reductions in smoke opacity (31.3%), CO (29.5%), and CO2 (11.2%). Meanwhile, the maximum NOx reduction of 14.3% was observed at 75% load.

Abstract

This study evaluates the structural enhancement of an outboard engine trolley through topology optimization of a reinforcement bracket using the finite element method (FEM). The trolley, made of 6061-T6 aluminum, was subjected to a vertical load of 75 kg (735.5 N). The topology optimization was formulated with the objective of minimizing structural compliance (maximizing stiffness) subject to a 60% volume fraction constraint and maintaining a safety factor above the allowable limit of 1.25. Three configurations were analyzed: without bracket, with a conventional bracket, and with a topology-optimized bracket. The structural responses were evaluated in terms of total deformation, Von Mises stress, and safety factor. The optimized bracket reduced maximum deformation from 1.017 mm to 0.557 mm and decreased maximum stress from 87.214 MPa to 72.062 MPa. The safety factor increased from 3.153 to 3.816, indicating improved structural reliability. The results demonstrate that topology optimization effectively enhances stiffness and strength while enabling efficient material utilization under vertical loading conditions.
