Abstract

The result of a turning process is strongly influenced by the process parameters that could result in the product to be unacceptable. The cutting parameters may be determined according to the material hardness and roughness of the workpiece surface. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of cutting speed and feed rate on surface roughness and vibration. In Taguchi method, the number of experiments is reduced by orthogonal arrays while  the effects of uncontrollable factors are also also reduced. The Taguchi method is used to reduce track, experimental time and production cost. Simple and precise are the most benefits of this method. Unstable vibrations in machining operations, known as chats, can cause damage to tools, workpieces, and machine tools. Cutting force is found to be the most dominant factor affecting surface roughness.

Abstract

In a manufacturing company, the quality loss is estimated by considering the number of defects. Taguchi is a method that finds strong conditions in uncontrollable environments of the field. Taguchi quantifies quality loss through a quality loss function. The Taguchi method particularly is focused on industrial processes. The method is actualizing quality philosophy for continuous quality improvement and cost reduction to improve manufacturing performance. The analysis is designed using Taguchi technique which is related to quality. A high-quality product has a minimal defect. The Taguchi method is used to analyze several defects of ammunition to reduce the number of ammunition defects. Ammunition consists of several parts are called projectile or bullet, cartridge case, propellant charge, and primer. Every part of its process possibly contributes to any defect. The defect type in every part of ammunition consists of critical, major, and minor defects. This paper is focused on cartridge case caliber 5.56 mm defect by using the Taguchi method. The quality characteristic of the experiment result used is smaller the better. Critical to Quality (CTQ) is determined to get a critical defect for cartridge cases such as split and perforated case. The influencing factors are brass cup thickness, hardness case after annealing, and annealing temperature. The Taguchi method is effective in reducing defects for the ammunition process to produce a good quality product.

Abstract

The basic concept of a combustion motor is to convert chemical energy into heat energy and then convert it to mechanical energy. Heat energy is produced from the combustion process between a mixture of fuel and air with a pressure difference triggered by  spark (flame). The objective is to determine the difference in power, torque, and average effective pressure by adding the number of spark plugs and using the standard type of spark plug and iridium on a single-cylinder engine. The engine performance testing method uses P-max to get power, while the analysis uses experimental design, the data processing method uses DOE-factorial and the Minitab application 18. Power test for a standard spark plug resulted in 7.93 HP, 0.89 kgm torque and 1207.66 kPa average effective pressure. For iridium spark plug the test produced 9.02 HP, it is  0.91 kg.m for torque and average effective pressure is 1226.32 Kpa. For two standard spark plugs, the power was 9.38 HP, torque was 0.93 kg.m, and the average effective pressure was 1269.96 kPa. Whereas the two iridium spark plugs produced 9.59 HP, 0.91 kg.m torque, and  1277.78  kPa average effective pressure.

Abstract

Iron lathe waste powder has the potential as a raw material in the synthesis of hematite pigments. Hematite pigments have many advantages, one of which is anti-swelling properties that can maintain the dimensions of wood. Hematite pigment synthesis was carried out using the precipitation-sonication method. The precipitation stage uses an ammonium hydroxide solution as a precipitating agent. Stages of sonication using the PEG-6000 template were performed at different times were 30, 45, and 90 minutes then calcined at 750 ° C for 3 hours. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), color reader, and scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX). The result confirmed that a ferrihydrite phase obtained after the precipitation process and transform into hematite after the calcination process with the highest degree of crystallinity for 90-minute sonication. From a color reader, the brightness and redness degrees decrease with increasing time. Scanning electron microscope results illustrated that the morphology was not uniform with the particle size getting smaller with increasing sonication time. The EDX results show that hematite pigments still contain impurities such as carbon. The swelling test indicated that the highest stability in hematite-pigmented wood increased as increasing in the weight of pigment.

Abstract

The rotary kiln in cement industries used hot air (temperature 14500C)  for doing a reaction to form a clinker. The outlet hot air from the combustion reaction in the kiln is reused to decrease the water content of coal in the coal mill. However, the hot air that contained ash will affect the drying process in the coal mills will not reach the maximum point. Therefore, the hot air needs treatment to separate the hot air and particle. The hot air is carried out to the cyclone. The goal of this study is to investigate the efficiency work of cyclones in cement industries using the CFD method. Besides, the other goal of this research will convey the expense that is reduced in decreasing the ash content in hot air. In general, the good cyclone has the low-pressure drop, the turbulence model using Reynold Average Navier Stokes (RANS) simulation,k-ε standard, with the Lagrangian model to solve the problem in particle lane. The result of this study is showing the pattern of the ash in cyclones,  the pressure in cyclones, and the efficiency of cyclones. The number of efficiencies will affect the reduction of expense in this section.

Abstract

A small diesel engine is a machine that has high efficiency but causes a high level of pollution. The most widely used fuel so far is fossil energy which is unrenewable energy. The fruit of the Calophyllum inophyllum plant has great potential to be developed as alternative energy for small diesel engines. In this study, the test fuel used was D100, B100, E5, E10, and E15. The small engine diesel used TG-R180 Diesel with a compression ratio of 20:1 at engine turns 1500, 1800, 2100, and 2400 rpm, and the braking load at a constant prony disc brake is 1,5 kg/cm2. The result of the study using E10 fuel can improve engine performance and can reduce the opacity of the exhaust gas. The highest power in the D100 fuel at 2100 rpm is 8,06 PS. The highest thermal efficiency of E10 fuel is 50,29%. The use of Calophyllum inophyllum biodiesel (B100) can reduce exhaust gas opacity in small diesel engines when compared to the use of D100. E10 fuel has the lowest exhaust gas opacity rate of 4,1%.
