Abstract

Three-dimensional computational fluid dynamic simulations were conducted for flow and heat transfer characteristics around flat fin with staggered tube arrangement to fulfill the cooling performance of the tube fin heat exchanger. Fins are generally used to increase the heat transfer area, so the fin material has a high impact on the heat transfer rate. The material wall fin and tube were changed in three steps: aluminum, steel, copper with two different velocities of 8 and 15 m/s flowing between fins. The geometry of the flat fin and tube used staggered tube arrangement using transversal spacing, ST, of 11.8 mm, longitudinal spacing, SL, of 22.2 mm, and flow depth 66.6 mm. GAMBIT 2.6 software was used to meshing the geometry, and FLUENT 18.0 was implemented to simulate flow and heat transfer. The results show that the fin with copper material has a more uniform temperature distribution along the fin than the other materials. This indicates that the copper material has a higher heat transfer rate compared to aluminum and steel. Furthermore, increasing velocity will make the separation point formation farther behind the tube and decrease the recirculation zone. Moreover, 8 m/s has a lower outlet temperature than 15 m/s. As a result, 8 m/s and copper material have the highest effectiveness of 16.47 and efficiency of 88.35 %. The use of copper and aluminum as fin material will also have the relatively same performance in the heat exchanger.

Abstract

Stroke represents a condition that occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted or reduced due to a blockage (ischemic stroke) or rupture of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). A person who suffers a stroke will have a brain disorder that causes him/her unable to carry out activities like other healthy people. In general, stroke sufferers have paralysis in several parts of the body, like the hands, feet, and even the face. With technological developments in this era, stroke can be healed in various ways that have been developed by health experts. Healing can be referred to the treatment result for blocked or damaged blood vessels. However, the sufferer’s paralysis cannot return to the normal condition immediately, so it requires therapy or exercises to stimulate the muscles in the hands, feet, or face. This study focuses on developing a therapeutic device on the wrist that has a swivel joint. To design the wrist rehabilitation device with servo motor drive, some researches about existing products need to be reviewed. From that, a list of requirements is compiled, which is used for designing the concept of a wrist rehabilitation device. It is expected that an automatic wrist rehabilitation device can help post-stroke patients undergo the rehabilitation process.

Abstract

Corrosion is an event of material damage due to reacting chemically with the environment. Stainless steel is a widely used steel in the industrial world, for example, the austenitic stainless-steel type 304L. The problem that still arises with 304L stainless steel is corrosion at grain boundaries. The sensitization process occurs when the steel is heated at a temperature of 500 °C – 700 °C resulting in chromium carbide precipitation formation. Sensitization of austenitic stainless steel can occur during the welding process, which can cause damage to the heat-affected zone (HAZ). Cold working on metals is a deformation process that is carried out at temperatures below the recrystallization temperature. This research was conducted to determine the effect of variations in rolling and welding. Rolling was carried out using a cold working process with a variation of the workpiece reduction, namely 20%, 40%, and 60%. Welding was carried out with current variations of 50, 65, and 80 with a welding timeof 5 s and 10 s. The corrosion rate was tested using a potentiostat to obtain current density (Icorr) and potential (Ecorr) data. From the research, it was found the relation between rolling, welding parameters, and the corrosion rate. The corrosion rate is controlled by the carbide precipitation in the HAZ regime.

Abstract

Centrifugal pumps have an essential role in various industries. Impeller trimming is often performed to optimize the pump performance at a particular operating point. Impeller trimming refers to a reduction in the impeller outer diameter and thus causes a change in the velocity triangle on the impeller of a centrifugal pump. Three-dimensional, unsteady simulations were conducted numerically using moving mesh. This centrifugal pump has a backward-curved impeller with six blades, with anouter diameter of 120 mm and an outlet angle of 10°, which will be trimmed to a diameter of 114 mm. Trimming the impeller reduced the outer diameter so that the outlet angle of the relative velocity to the tangential direction, β2, automatically changed according to the blade shape. The simulation was done by varying the pump discharge. The simulation results were compared with the experimental results. The results obtained in this study include quantitative data and qualitative data. Qualitative data was the appearance of velocity profiles, velocity vectors, and pressure contours. Meanwhile, the quantitative data were in the form of suction pressure, discharge pressure, head calculation, and hydraulic power. The comparison of the results of the numerical simulation with the experimental results have the same trend, although the simulation tended to underestimate the head and hydraulic power. A decrease in head and hydraulic power of the pump due to trimming the impeller from the lowest discharge to the highest discharge is as much as 13% to 24%.

Abstract

In general, the hydrocarbon molecules in the fuel perform vibrational activity towards the core and attract each other, forming clustering molecules. Induction of a magnetic field in the fuel flow can change the hydrocarbon molecules so that their arrangement becomes more regular (de-clustering). The induction of the magnetic field in this research utilized a coil that was fed by an output current from the SINJAI-150 engine alternator. Magnetic field placement was placed before Bioethanol E100 fuel entered the injector. Observation of the magnetization of the fuel was carried out molecularly with the FTIR (Fourier Transform-Infra Red Spectroscopy) test and observing the characteristics of the fuel spray at the injector output. The results obtained were an increase in the fuel transmittance of Bioethanol E100 up to 41.31% for C-H compounds, 48.8% for C-O compounds, and 114% for O-H compounds compared to standard conditions. In the spray characteristics, there was an increase in the spray angle up to 2 and a decrease in the Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD) to 1.312 mm, due to a decrease in the value of the fuel properties in the form of surface tension, viscosity, and density up to 2.6%, 10.28% and 10.15% from the standard state without magnetization. As a result of decreasing the density value, the mass flow rate of the fuel decreases to 10.28% from the standard conditions at 2,000 rpm.

Abstract

Water is a primary need for human life. Because of its important use, an integrated system was built consisting of pumps and pipes to distribute water. The phenomenon of energy loss is found in the process of distributing water using pumps and pipes. To understand the energy loss phenomenon that occurs, an experimental test is carried out on a piping installation. Fluid mechanics and turbomachinery laboratories have experimental test equipment in the form of CUSSONS friction loss in pipe apparatus with a single-stage centrifugal pump to study the energy loss phenomenon that occurs in piping installations. This test equipment is composed of two kinds of pipe materials, namely PVC and acrylic, with variations in pipe diameter of 0.75 and 1.0 inch, flow meters in the form of venturi and orifice, pipe fittings in the form of elbow 45°, long radius elbow 90°, short radius elbow 90°, a valve in the form of ball-valve and pump connected to the NEWMAN electric motor which has a power of 1.5 HP and a rotational speed of 2850 RPM. The pressure drop in the piping installation was measured using a mercury manometer, the increase in pump pressure was measured with a pressure gauge, and the current and voltage of the motor pump were measured using a clamp meter. The flow rate for the installation was varied between 10L/min to 55 L/min with an increase in the flow rate of 5 L/min for the data collection on straight-pipe line I, fittings, and ball valves, on straight-pipe line II the variation of discharge only reached 40 L/min, while the variation of discharge for the flow meters was from 10 L/min to 30 L/min with an increase in the flow rate of 2 L/min for the orifice and 4 L/min for the venturi. Based on the experimental test data, it was found that the loss coefficient value (Kl) for K90= 0.58, for K45= 0.38, KBV = 0.62, and KLRE= 0.611. Relative roughness (e/D) on pipe line I= 0.0043 and pipe line II = 0.024. The coefficient of discharge (Cd) on the venture-type flow meter Ce= 0.91 and Co= 0.72 at maximum discharge. Maximum pump efficiency (ηp) was 27.1% when the pump head= 18.79 m.

Abstract

Various design modifications made by transportation equipment companies aim to increase the efficiency of fuel consumption. One of them is by reducing the dIndonesia relies on the use of fossil fuels (conventional), particularly in the fields of industry, transportation, and power generation systems. Fossil fuels are not sustainable energy sources, so their availability is limited. To reduce dependence on fossil fuels and reduce the negative impact on the environment, it is necessary to conduct research on energy sources, especially renewable and environmentally friendly ones. Bioethanol is a form of renewable energy that can be produced from plants. So that the use of fossil fuels can be replaced by ethanol fuel, especially for spark-ignition engines (SIE). However, when used in compressed ignition engines (CIE), plant fuels or vegetable oils have weaknesses that affect CIE performance, such as cetane number, calorific value, etc. so that engineering related to the fuel and engine is needed. This study will examine the effect of changes in the compression ratio in CIE fueled by a mixture of Indonesia medium sulfur content of Diesel Fuel (commercially name: Dexlite), Ethanol, and Emulsifier Tween 80 on engine performance and emissions. The results showed that the 10% emulsifier was used in all fuel mixtures because the separation time was the longest. After determining the emulsifier level, the DEX70 (70% Dexlite - 30% Ethanol) and DEX 80 (80% Dexlite - 20% Ethanol) fuels were determined because they have the best characteristics for exhaust gas emission parameters. Then, by changing the compression ratio on the engine, there is a change in engine performance and emission parameters. For DEX80 and DEX70 with CR 17.9 have the maximum brake thermal efficiency (BTE) as much as 25.52% and 25.16% respectively at maximum load, higher than Dexlite with CR 17.9 in which BTE as much as around only 24%. Increasing compression ratio significantly decrease smoke opacity of exhaust gas. DEX80 with CR 17 and CR 16 experienced an increase in smoke opacity by (175.41%) and (3.11%) against DEX80 with CR 17.9. Meanwhile, DEX70 with CR 17 and CR 16 experienced an increase in smoke opacity by (17.01%) and (236.05%) against DEX80 CR 17.9.

Abstract

The Savonius wind turbine uses a half-cylinder blade which is often called a bucket assembled so that the cross-section forms an "S". This turbine is seen in the form of a half-cylinder consisting of a concave side and a convex side. This turbine is one type of Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) that uses the difference in drag forces between the two buckets to be able to rotate the rotor. Therefore this rotor has the ability to self-start, which other wind turbines do not have, even so, the performance of theturbine. Savonius wind is still relatively low, so that it cannot be applied until now. Many studies have been carried out to improve performance, some of which include adding shielding, end plates, changing the shape of the blades, gap overlap, and others. The analysis in this numerical study included a comparison of the performance of conventional Savonius wind turbines and elliptic Savonius wind turbines with an assumed steady flow 2D flow and using turbulent viscous transitions k-kL-ω and k-ωSST with variations in flow velocity and angle of incidence of flow to the position of the rotor of the Savonius turbine. This results evaluated were the static torque coefficient with respect to the rotor position, the pressure distribution along the blade surface, and the wind flow characteristics near the rotor. The results of this study indicated that the modified wind turbine rotor had a higher static torque coefficient at low speeds. The two types of turbine rotors had relatively the same self-starting capability at high speeds.

Abstract

The crane is one of the production support facilities on the offshore platform. During operation, it receives a large load, both from the environment and the crane’s operational load, so the crane’s strength and operational safety need to be maintained. Cyclic loading can cause the crane structure to experience fatigue. This evidence shows the importance of analyzing the crane pedestal. How much the load affects the fatigue life of the structure. A previous study on the crane loading effect on the Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) was provided as a comparison. Local fatigue analysis was performed on the pedestal crane using the Finite Element Method (MEH) and ANSYS Workbench 19.1 software. The validation stage was carried out by comparing the value of the reaction force, moment, and maximum equivalent stress (Von-Mises) on the crane pedestal between the simulation results and hand-calculation. Furthermore, a static simulation was carried out to obtain the stress value as the basis for cyclic loading. A dynamic simulation was carried out based on the stress obtained from the static simulation to determine the structure’s critical point and fatigue life. The fatigue analysis was carried out based on the Palmgren-Miner Theory. It is found that the load that has the most significant influence on crane pedestal fatigue is the operational load with a contribution of 80.7%, wind load of 19.3%, and wave load of 0%. The minimum estimated fatigue life of the crane pedestal structure is 96.5 years or close to 5 times the design life. Compared to the crane in the FPSO in previous studies, the most significant difference lies in the contribution of wave loads, where the wave load on the FPSO has the most considerable contribution to crane structure fatigue (97.8%).
