Abstract

The aims of this study are to model the wave energy harvester device using a single pendulum on a pontoon called Single Vertical Pendulum Mechanism (SVPM) and analyze the voltage generated by the mechanism. The simulation method was conducted in order to provide the power generated by SVPM. The SVPM’s dimension was designed on a laboratory scale and the wave amplitude was adjusted by the amplitude on the laboratory pool. The mechanism model uses wave energy as the excitation force of the pendulum. The pendulum oscillates and drives the transmission gear which transmits the force to the generator. The generator produces electrical energy. The variation used in the simulation was the mass of the pendulum, the length of the pendulum’s arm, and the wave amplitude. The maximum power that can be generated by SVPM was 5,735 Watt occurred when the arrangement of SVPM was using the pendulum mass of 0,75 kg and the pendulum length of 0,2 m. The parameter that most affect the generated power of SVPM was the wave amplitude.

Abstract

The electroencephalography (EEG) is a non-invasive technique to study electrical brain activity (while the brain is performing a cognitive task). The electrical brain activity is a complex process of electrical propagation because the brain structure is an incredibly complex structure. This complex structure leads to different conductivity properties in terms of its magnitude and orientation, called anisotropic conductivity. Using Maxwell's equations, electrical brain activity has been studied intensively. For simplification, the quasistatic Maxwell’s equations are used to model the electrical brain activity and it leads to deal with a Poisson’s equation. In this research, a feasibility study of using a new method, called Operator Splitting Method (OSM), to solve anisotropic 2-Dimensional (2D) Poisson’s equation is performed. Freeware of the finite element method (FEM), FreeFEM++, is employed to build matrices used in the OSM algorithm. The OSM algorithm which is written in Matlab is then tested to solve anisotropic 2D Laplace’s equation and anisotropic Poisson’s equation with the dipolar source. Afterward, the OSM solutions are validated by using an exact solution and a direct numerical solution. By using L2-Error Norm, the convergence rate of the OSM algorithm is then analyzed. Some numerical experiments have been performed to test the performance of the OSM algorithm. The OSM solution of anisotropic 2D Laplace’s equation coincides with the exact and direct numerical solution of the problem. For anisotropic 2D Poisson’s equation with dipolar source, some similar results have been obtained too. The pattern of the OSM solutions is similar to the pattern of direct numerical solutions of the problem. The results arise a hope to attempt to implement the OSM algorithm for more complex problems such as a realistic human head model.

Abstract

In the present work, the effect of variation of air-fuel ratio on performances and emissions SINJAI-150 engine with bioethanol was conducted. Variation of the air-fuel ratio is done by setting the mass flow rate of combustion air using a supercharger. Engine performance was measured using a water brake dynamometer with a variable speed standard from 2000 to 8000 rpm at a fully open throttle condition. The results indicate that the natural intake system produces a relatively rich air-fuel ratio, with an average lambda of 0.68, so that the resulting performance is not maximum. The addition of aspirated 1 and 2 combustion air with the results in the form of average lambda at intervals of 0.8 - 1.1. On the aspirated 2, thermal efficiency increase averaged 50.32%, specific fuel consumption decrease averaged 32.74% and CO and HC emissions reduction average of 7.43 % and 25.77%.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find The influence of the sand cast solidification pressure variations to the quality of an alloy Al-Si casting product. An experimental method was used in the study and the analysis of the data used descriptive analysis to explain the charts. The stages of researched process is preparation material and equipment; making the design and manufacture of a pattern; manufacture of the sand mold by 35, 40, 45, 50, and 55 kg/cm2 pressure variation; casting process; observation of defect; measurement of the level roughness; microstructure examination; assay composition; and last test is hardness micro vickers test. The research results show that variations pressure 35 kg/cm2 does not occur defect the needle at al. A defect of the needle that occur most frequently upon variations of the pressure of the 55 kg/cm2 is as much as 0.62 % . Air cavities formed to variation pressure solidification 35 kg/cm2  of 0.77 % to the least, while in variation 55 kg/cm2 happened the number of defect air cavities the most namely 3.96 % . The mold fall defect largest namely 1.95 % happened to variation pressure 35 kg/cm2. Defect of sand inclusion the least of 0.06 % happened to variation pressure 55 kg/cm2. Defect of fins formed due to variation pressure solidification sand mold experienced the number of been fluctuating, recorded high in early then decline and to high back in highest variation. The pressure variation 35 kg/cm2  it has value roughness flattened 3.17 and products castings the most rough happened to sand mold solidification variation pressure 55 kg/cm2 , with on average of 5.44. the degree of hardness highest of 141.8 VHN happened to variation pressure 35 kg/cm2  and lowest of 124.8 VHN happened to variation 55 kg/cm2. Concluded that the solidification of pressure variations sand mold 45 kg / cm2 produce castings products with the most optimal average in terms of the measurement of the defective; variation pressure solidification sand mold of sand casting 35 kg / cm2 produce a smooth surface, and the higher pressure make surface castings becomes rougher; solidification of pressure variations and coarse sand mold 35 kg / cm2 produce micro structure with smooth grains and becomes more violent along with increasing pressure; pressure variation 35 kg / cm2 produce a hardest surface, the higher of  the pressure variation it becoming violence number progressively lower.

Abstract

The characteristic of natural convection heat transfer in a thermally asymmetric cavity is influenced by temperature differences and space between the heat source and cavity wall. The heat source is any bluff body placed inside the cavity. This research used a heated elliptic tube as the heat source inside the cavity. The three tubes are of 2.5 aspect ratio (AR) in a vertically aligned arrangement. The cavity was thermally asymmetric because three sides of the cavity were insulated while the other side was exposed to convection with ambient air. The clearance ratio (CR) as the ratio between the gap from the insulated wall to the major axis of the tubes to the space of the cavity is varied 0.4 and 0.6. while the pitch ratio is constant at 3.5a. this study analyzes the characteristics of heat transfer from the surface of the elliptical tube to the surrounding air experimentally and numerically. The result reveals that the highest heat transfer coefficient 0f 0.4 CR is higher than that of 0.6 CR. The numerical solution shows the contour and streamlines of the fluid flow in all conditions as the characteristics of natural transfer thermally asymmetric cavity.
