Abstract

Polypropylene is widely used in the automotive industry because it is lightweight, inexpensive, and easy to process, but it has limitations, including relatively low mechanical properties and a tendency to shrink. Cellulose nanofiber is used as an environmentally friendly reinforcement with high strength, but differences in properties between hydrophobic polypropylene and hydrophilic CNF result in poor compatibility. To overcome this, a polypropylene-graft-maleic anhydride (PP-g-MA) coupling agent is added to enhance interfacial bonding. This study aims to evaluate the effects of CNF and PP-g-MA content on the mechanical properties, thermal stability, and water resistance of polypropylene materials produced by extrusion and injection molding. The outcomes show that substituting 1 wt% CNF provides significant reinforcement, elevating the tensile strength to 22.90 MPa and the flexural strength to 29.70 MPa. At higher CNF contents, agglomeration occurs, leading to decreased mechanical properties and increased water absorption up to 0.35%. The substitution of PP-g-MA increased the compatibility of the PP/CNF composite, as indicated by the appearance of an ester peak in the FTIR, an increase in crystallinity in the DSC/XRD, and a shift in the onset of degradation by 340°C to 350°C in the PP/1CNF/5PP-g-MA composite. This formulation also produced a tensile strength of 25.60 MPa, a flexural strength of 33.00 MPa, and low water absorption. Although substituting CNF reduced impact strength, using PP-g-MA restored impact strength to near that of pure polypropylene. Overall, the PP/1CNF/5PP-g-MA composite was determined to be the optimal composition due to its balanced mechanical properties, thermal stability, and water resistance.

Abstract

The independent demand for ice by coastal communities and small-scale business operators is commonly fulfilled using small-scale freezer units. The cooling prici performance is a critical parameter for evaluating operational effectiveness and energy efficiency. This study evaluates the performance of a 100-liter freezer equipped with a subcooler compared to a standard configuration. The system was tested for 240 minutes at an ambient temperature of approximately 30 °C, with thermal and electrical parameters recorded every 20 minutes. Temperature, operating pressure, and power consumption data were analyzed to determine thermodynamic parameters, including the actual coefficient of performance (COP), Carnot COP, and system efficiency. The results indicate that the freezer configuration with a subcooler produces a lower refrigerant temperature after the compressor, ranging from 62–63 °C, compared to 71–72 °C in the standard configuration. The refrigerant temperature after the condenser decreased from 46–47 °C to 32–33 °C. The discharge pressure was reduced from 90–95 psi in the standard system to 60–80 psi in the subcooled system. The actual COP increased from 1.93–2.95 to 2.26–3.44, while the Carnot COP increased from 2.82–3.97 to 3.08–4.36. System efficiency was higher in the freezer with the subcooler, ranging from 73–79%, compared to 68–74% in the standard freezer. Overall, the integration of a subcooler improves heat transfer performance, reduces compressor workload, and increases energy efficiency by approximately 3–6%.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of rotational speed variations in the turning process using 6% cobalt tungsten carbide chisels on the vibration frequency and surface roughness of ST 37 steel. Tests were conducted using a conventional lathe with five rotational speed variations: 350 rpm, 400 rpm, 450 rpm, 500 rpm, and 550 rpm. Other cutting parameters were kept constant, namely feed rate of 0.7 mm/rev, depth of cut of 0.7 mm, and the use of SAE 10 oil cooling media. The results showed that the higher the rotational speed, the lower the surface roughness value. The highest roughness value was obtained at a speed of 350 rpm of 7.420 μm, while the lowest value was at 550 rpm of 4.66 μm. Conversely, the vibration frequency increased with increasing rotational speed. The lowest vibration frequency of 1.53 mm/s occurred at 350 rpm, while the highest value was 3.53 mm/s at 550 rpm. These results show that increasing the rotational speed produces a smoother surface, but increases tool vibration.

Abstract

The increasing demand for electrical energy has led to the extensive use of generator sets as backup power sources, particularly in areas with unstable grid supply. However, conventional generator sets operating on petroleum-based fuels are associated with low efficiency and high exhaust emissions. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is considered a cleaner alternative, although its performance strongly depends on the stability of gas supply pressure. Previous studies have generally evaluated generator performance based on output characteristics without simultaneously examining the interaction between cylinder pressure, hose pressure, and the mechanical response of the regulator. This study addresses this gap by examining the combined effects of LPG cylinder and hose pressures on frequency stability and regulator behavior during generator operation. Experimental tests were conducted on an LPG-fueled generator set under load variations of 0%, 25%, 50%, and 75%. Cylinder pressure, hose pressure, regulator opening angle, and output frequency were measured simultaneously using pressure, position, and electrical measurement sensors. The results demonstrate a statistically significant correlation between gas pressure and frequency stability. Stable operation was achieved when hose pressure was maintained within the range of 0.8-1.0 psi, resulting in output frequencies of 49.8-50.2 Hz, whereas pressures below this range caused significant frequency deviation. These findings confirm that maintaining stable gas pressure is essential for achieving optimal frequency performance and provide practical insights for improving regulator design in LPG-fueled generator systems.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of variations in surface geometry on the acoustic performance of composite boards made from jackfruit sawdust waste. The material was combined with urea-formaldehyde adhesive and catalyst, then processed using a hot-press method at 160°C and 60 tons. The specimens were formed into four geometric variations, namely funnels, cones, tubes, and pillars, using a CNC machine. Tests were conducted using the impedance tube method over the frequency range of 200-1600 Hz to determine the sound absorption coefficient (α) and reflection coefficient (RC). The results show that the α value increases with increasing frequency. At low frequencies (200-400 Hz), the absorption capacity remains low but increases significantly at medium to high frequencies. The pillar geometry showed the best performance with a maximum α value of around 0.42 and the lowest reflection value. It indicates that modification of the surface geometry plays an important role in improving wave interaction and the effectiveness of sound absorption.
