Abstract

Evaporation boats are conductive advanced ceramic composites with the best thermal evaporation source for metalizing applications. The short life time of the evaporation boats causes the metalizing industry to produce large amounts of evaporation boats waste. However, studies on the utilization of evaporation boat waste are still limited. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of firing holding time on the density, porosity, and hardness of crucible materials made from evaporation boats waste. The material used in this research is a mixture of evaporation boats waste powder, kaolin, and graphite, with a composition of 50%, 25% and 25%, respectively. During the mixing process, 15% of the water is added. The compacting process carried out with a compaction pressure of 25 MPa. The firing process is carried out at a temperature of 1000oC with holding times of 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 minutes. The test results show that the holding time of firing has an effect on density, porosity, and hardness. The highest density value was 1,91 g/cm3 at a holding time of 180 minutes, and the lowest was 1,77 g/cm3 at a holding time of 60 minutes. The highest porosity value is 4,10% at a holding time of 60 minutes, and the lowest is 2,16% at a holding time of 180 minutes. The highest hardness value was 12,84 HV at a holding time of 180 minutes, and the lowest was 8,3 HV at a holding time of 60 minutes. The longer holding time in the firing process results in a decrease in the porosity content. The decrease in the porosity content results in an increase in density and hardness of the cruicible specimens.

Abstract

COVID-19 with a snap into a very influential factor in all sectors of the economy worldwide. The decrease in demand is also strongly felt in the manufacturing sector in Indonesia, even there are some factories were forced to have to lay off thousands of employees because it is not able to pay the salaries of employees. The opposite condition was experienced by PT PQS Indonesia, which experienced an increase in demand by 40% compared to the average demand for 6 months before COVID-19, because some of the company's branches in other countries had stopped production because they had to follow local government policies. Eventually all orders were sent to be produced at PT PQS Indonesia. The increase in demand does not mean that PT PQS Indonesia did not experience obstacles during the COVID-19 pandemic, the problem faced was the decline in delivery performance from suppliers, which impacted on the reduced stock of raw material stock and could even lead to production stops. This is because the suppliers were affected by Covid-19. This is a challenge because PT PQS has dozens of suppliers at home and abroad. To repeat this so that production does not stop, PT PQS Indonesia added a feature to help control supplier delivery performance. In 2018 the average delivery performance is only 60% — 70%, and the management target is 90% for local suppliers and 85% for overseas. This “Supplier Delivery Performance” feature really helps the procurement team to control the arrival of goods and provide information to suppliers related to their delivery performance, as well as being one of the index KPIs to evaluate supplier performance for one year before the Annual Vendor Meeting is held. To create a “Supplier Delivery Performance” index, PT PQS must also create SOPs or standardize them so that all relevant suppliers and procurement teams can easily understand them.

Abstract

Along with the advancement of modern times and technology, the metal sector plays a critical role in sustaining present growth. The industry's increased competitiveness has hampered the development of numerous small-scale metal casting industries. A crucible made of local graphite can only be used not more than ten melting cycles. This research aims to examine the influence of firing temperature on the density, porosity, impact strength, and macrostructure of graphite, kaolin and castable cement crucible materials. This research applies experiment method at various firing temperature, i.e. 850 °C, 900 °C, 950 °C, 1000 °C and 1050 °C. The crucible materials are made of graphite, kaolin, and castable cement. The firing process employs a heating rate of 5 °C/min and a holding time 2 hours. The results show that firing temperature influences the density, porosity, impact strength and macrostructure of crucible. The highest density at 1.86 grams/cm3 was obtained at the firing temperature of 1050 °C. The lowest porosity value of 41% was attained at firing temperature of 1050 °C. However, this value was still below the crucible index criterion. The highest impact strength of 0.003249 Joule/mm2 occurred for firing temperature of 1050 °C.

Abstract

Bioheat transfer is a combination of heat transfer and biology process comprising of transfer of heat from human living tissue to the environment. This study aims to estimate the temperature distribution of female human’s skin. In this study, effect of varied blood perfusions of 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 kg/s.m3 on bioheat transfer of female human skin, which was modeled into four layers, was simulated. To address this issue, one-dimensional unsteady state finite difference method was applied in this study.  Result of this study informed that the finite difference method can be used to solve the bioheat transfer equation and to estimate temperature distribution of different skin layers of female human. In this study, blood perfusion affects temperature distribution in the four layers of unstable women's skin. The highest blood perfusion of 3 kg/s.m3 resulted in more homogeny temperature distribution of different skin layers. This circumstance occurred since higher blood perfusion increases heat transfer between blood and skin layers.

Abstract

This study is to determine fuel consumption and exhaust emissions due to addition of a ground strap to the spark plug coil cable using silver wire material. The silver wire was 0.8 mmdiameter and installed with number of turns of 255. This research was conducted since spark plug disturbance, due to electromagnetic field, decreases engine performance. This electromagnetic field occurs during electric current flows from battery to spark plug. This study applied experimental method with 10 repetitions of data collection. The results showed that the lowest specific fuel consumption reduction by 19.6% occured at 5000 rpm and the highest one by 29% occured at 8000 rpm when groundstrap was installed. Meanwhile, HC, CO and CO2 exhaust emissions decreased by 80.3%, 82.3% and 36.7%, repectively, after installation of groundstrap.

Abstract

In Kalimantan, gelam (Melaleuca cajuputi)  grows naturally in the swamp forest reaching 40 m with a diameter around 35 cm. Gelam wood is very resistant to acid soil in the swamp forest. Despite of it’s small diameter, gelam wood is very strong. This wood is usually used as the main house, as mold or mall support in casting concrete. Ulin (Eusideroxylon zwageri) is a typical plant of Kalimantan. In this study, the ignition duration, burning speed, and ash weight from briquette made from mixture of ulin and gelam sawdust was investigated. Size of sawdust used for briquette was varied for 40, 50, and 60 mesh while compaction pressure during briquette production was varied for 100, 125 and 150 kg/cm2. The study shows that the highest combustion temperature at 178 oC occurred for briquette with compaction pressure of 150 kg/cm2. Meanwhile, the lowest combustion temperature was obtained in briquette witch compaction pressure of 100 kg/cm2.

Abstract

Of many compounds materials, metallic biomaterial is widely used in human medical devices. An implant material's corrosion resistance impacts its flexibility and longevity. This corrosion resistance is also an important consideration for biocompatibility. This biomaterial contains stainless steel whcih may corrode after being installed in the human body since  the passivity of stainless steel disappears when it is exposed to acids in the human body for a long duration. In addition, lacks of oxygen inhibits the formation of a new Cr2O3 layer for corrosion protection. Based on this phenomenon, an advance treatment is required to improve the resistance corrosion of implant. This study investigates the effect of the concentration and duration of chitosan on the thickness and corrosion resistance of biomaterials. The concentration of chitosan used was 0.08%, 0.16%, and 0.24% while the voltage used was constant at 10 V. The test results demonstrated the lowest corrosion rate occrured for 0.24 % chitosan concentration with 30 minutes coating duration. The lowest corrosion rate achieved was 0.014 mmpy and the maximum thickness was 75.4 μm. This study could be then used as a new solution to increase the safety of existing implants using biodegradable and non-toxic compounds. The next experiment should be implantation in real human body.

Abstract

Depleting oil reserves has encouraged many researchers to search for new energy resources. Of many alternatives, soybean oil has been proposed as biodiesel. In this study, influence of mixture composition of soybean oil and diesel fuel on the droplet combustion characteristics was investigated. These characteristics included Ignition delay time, fire visualization, flame temperature and burning rate. The mixture comprises 10 to 50% soybean oil while the rest are Pertamina Dex diesel fuel. The study shows that flash point temperature, ignition delay time and burning rate increase as soybean oil content increases. In contrary, the flame height decreases with increasing soybean oil content.

Abstract

To reduce dependence on fossil fuel, biomass, e.g. the wood pellet, has been developed in recent years.  Indonesia has an abundant source of biomass, e.g. wood and rice husk. This work investigates the combustion characteristics of the wood pellet made of Albizia Chinensis and rice husk. The analyzed combustion properties are ignition delay time, the mass of residue, combustion duration, combustion rate, maximum flame temperature, During the experiment, the rice husk content varies between 0 to 50%. As the rice husk content increases from 0 to 50%, the ignition delay time increases from 6 to 9.9 seconds, the mass of residue increases from 21.2 to 45 % and the combustion rate decreases from 0.55 to 0.52 g/min. In addition, higher rice husk content also decreases the maximum temperature.

Abstract

Of many manufacturing processes, sand casting is one of the most widely used since there is no size limit of the workpiece. Big size product can be carried out at an affordable cost. In its process, sand casting comprises interconnected and complex series. If some of the processes are not properly carried out e.g. during solidification, will result in defects in the casting products. Simulation is an important method currently since it can model the entire metal casting process and show the dynamic character of the casting scheme. In this study, CAD is used for a 3D design on casting simulation. In this study, the grain size of molded sand, material quality and other process parameters were considered identical to all design schemes. This study aims to investigate the effect of varied design and dimensions of the gating system. It was found in this study that porosity and improper solidification were related to the improper gating and riser design.
