Abstract

Mechanical characteristic assessment of the new stent design is important to improve the performance during the stenting process. Stent with good performance in geometric assessment should pass several tests in the unexpanded and expanded condition. The FEM assessment is expected to replace the actual mechanical assessment to save the cost and time of the manufacturing. In this study, the FEM assessment is conducted using the structural nonlinear analyses in ANSYS R15.0. The stent type used in the simulation is the Asymmetric stent and the Sinusoidal stent. The assessments included in this study are the flexibility test on the unexpanded condition (single-load and multi-load) and that on the expanded condition under single point loading. The three-point bending test is chosen as the flexibility test, either for the unexpanded or expanded condition, due to its simplicity. To restrain angular deformation and more save the computation process, a symmetry model (due to longitudinal and angular plane) of each stent type is constructed. By utilizing Multi Point Constraint (MPC) element, the loading is subjected over a pilot node at the center line of the stent. The analysis results showed that Asymmetric stent has lower flexibility comparing with a Sinusoidal stent in the unexpanded configurations. In the case of an Asymmetric stent, its inflated-side is more flexible than the fixed-side.

Abstract

Air pollution from highways, particularly in an urban area which density and mobility are already on the verge of solid boundaries, resulting in environmental and human health problems. This is due to the lack of standardization of testing exhaust gas by the governmental body. Accurate results from the test and technology standardization on exhaust system which is one important component for gas pollutant elimination from the vehicle. In the present work, we examined the role of some modified exhausts on the level of pollutant exhaust, i.e. CO, HC, NOx gas. Experimental design for controlled variable is the speed, torque of the wheel, and gear position. Several modifications of exhaust gas were tested were tested, i.e. Standard, 3-way catalytic converter, racing and 2-ways catalytic converter. The data is gained through dynamometer and exhaust gas Analyzer as a speedometer gauges, torque wheels, and levels of exhaust gas that comes out of the tailpipe. Statistical analysis of the results uses one-way ANOVA. The result showed that the order in reducing exhaust gas CO and HC are: (1) two-way exhaust gas and 3 Way Catalytic Converter exhaust gas, (2) standard and (3) modified exhausts. 3 Way catalytic converter was the best to eliminate NOx than other three exhaust gas system

Abstract

The quenching step in a glass tempering process is a transient heat transfer phenomenon which is governed by several parameters – Reynolds number (Re) and the nozzle diameter-to-surface distance ratio (H/D). In this research, the effect of such parameters on the strength and quench time of hemispherical tempered glass are to be analyzed. The quenching process will use the impinging jets quench method, with an equilateral – staggered nozzle arrangements. The process is performed in an ambient air of 60oC and with a nozzle pitch and diameter of 27 mm and 4 mm respectively. The study applies variations of Reynolds number: 2300, 10000, 20000, 30000, 40000, 50000, 60000, 70000, 80000, and 87000, and H/D: 2, 6, 9, and 12. These variations are used to construct and solve a mathematical model, to obtain temperature distribution contours. The contours are then transformed into stress distribution graphs. From these steps, it is found that the tempered glass strength increases and the quench time decrease along with the increase of Re and the decrease of H/D. It is also found that the allowable range of operation is between Re = 8000 – 25000 for H/D =2 and Re = 8000 – 30000 for H/D = 6, 9, and 12.

Abstract

An interaction between an anti-plane crack with a three-phase circular composite by using complex potential methods is considered in this paper. The solution procedures for solving this problem consist of two parts. In the first part, based on complex potential methods in conjunction with analytical continuation theorem and alternating technique, the complex potential functions of a screw dislocation interacting with three-phase circular composites are obtained. The second part consists of the derivation of logarithmic singular integral equations by introducing the complex potential functions of screw dislocation along the crack border together with superposition technique. The logarithmic singular integral equations are then solved numerically by modeling a crack in place of several segments. Linear interpolation formulae with undetermined coefficients are applied to approximate the dislocation distribution along the elements, except at vicinity of the crack tip where the dislocation distribution preserves a square-root singularity. The mode-III stress intensity factors are then obtained numerically in terms of the values of the dislocation density functions of the logarithmic singular integral equations.

Abstract

One of the most important processes in glass production is the furnace section. The furnace’s waste heat, which still has a temperature around 400oC-500°C, is often released directly to the surrounding using a stack. Waste Heat Recovery Generation (WHRPG) and Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is one of the many waste heat reusing schemes implemented to increase the efficiency of industrial processes by converting the waste heat into electricity. Two schemes of the system will be studied in this research; there are Water-Simple Rankine Cycle (WSRC) and combined cycle (WSRC and ORC). In the WSRC, steam mass flow rate varied and found the highest performance to compare with combined cycle system. For combined cycle, the variations of the system are steam mass flow rate, the evaporating temperature, flue gas temperature in stack and refrigerant as working fluid. For the result, the highest combined cycle perform is 5.89 MW with steam mass flow rate 5 kg/s. Higher evaporating temperature (160°C) results in a higher combined cycle performance (5.96 MW), while, similarly, a lower flue gas temperature (120°C) also yields a higher combined cycle performance (6.3 MW). By varying the working fluids of R-11, R-113, and R-114.

Abstract

The combined cycle power plant (PLTGU) is the second largest percentage of electrical production method which is 26% of all electrical production technology in Indonesia. One of the components in combined cycle power plant is the heat-recovery steam generator (HRSG), which serves as heat-exchanger between hot gasses from gas turbine cycle and water from steam turbine cycle. There are four stages on HRSG, preheater, economizer, evaporator, and superheater. In the present work, there is a case of thinning on a bend tube preheater which exceeds the tolerance limits, therefore the purposes of this research determine the cause of failure and determine the failure mechanism on bend tube preheater. Thinning of bend tube preheater occurred due to corrosion from both the inside surface and outside surface. Corrosion that occurred on the inside surface of bend tube preheater caused by a reaction between water and metal surface of the tube. Corrosion on the outside surface could be happen caused by a reaction between the hot gas and metal surface of the tube. Largest thinning rate occurred on bend area of bend tube preheater caused by deformation itself, it induces local reduction of breakdown potential.

Abstract

This paper describes the use of CFD modeling to analyze the thermal comfort in the oil filling factory which has an area of 3000 m2. The need for this analysis comes from an uncomfortable condition that is felt by the workers of the factory. A 3D simulation using FLUENT software 6.3.26 conducted to analyze the temperature and velocity distribution in the plant room. The water is assumed as an incompressible ideal gas, steady flow, turbulence models used k−" standard, the SIMPLE algorithm and second order upwind discretisation. Analysis was conducted on existing models and propose models, whereby on a model propose, the diffuser is installed above the workers with a height of 4,2 m above the floor, the velocity of supply air diffuser is varied from 1,5 m/s, 2 m/s, and 2,5 m/s. The simulation results show that the temperature distribution in the existing conditions in the range of about 34-36 C, this value exceeds the thermal comfort standards specified by ASHRAE. The simulation results show that the proposed model better temperature distribution, where the temperature is generated in the range of ASHRAE thermal comfort criteria, ranging from 24-26 C, and the supply air velocity at the diffuser inlet of 1,5 m/s recommended for use in AHU system. For the 20 units of the diffuser with inlet velocity of 1,5 m/s, the mass flow rate that should be handled by a cooling device is 9 kg/s and require a cooling capacity of 0,128 MW. This is 58% more efficient than cooling the entire room factory.

Abstract

Wind tunnel is an element or experimental device that plays an important role in the development of aerodynamics. In general, there are two types of wind tunnels: open-loop wind tunnels and closed-loop wind tunnels. Furthermore, based on the flow velocity in the wind tunnel, the wind tunnel can also be categorized into several types: low-speed wind tunnel and high-speed wind tunnel, including sub-sonic and supersonic wind tunnels. In this study it is used a low-speed closed-loop wind tunnel type. The maximum atainable velocity of airflow in the wind tunnel is about 46 m/s with turbulence intensity (TI) as low as 0.41 percent. The flow parameters that being evaluated in this study include the velocity profiles and intensity of turbulence (TI) in some parts or sections of the wind tunnel. Pressure measurements in the wind tunnel are performed using a Pitot tube connected to a calibrated pressure transducer. The measured values of pressures are then converted into the fluid velocities and turbulence intensities. The results show that the flow quality in the main test section of the wind tunnel is good enough. The intensity of the flow turbulence on the inlet side of the test section is about 0.41 percent at the centerline velocity of approximately 40 m/s. In some parts of the wind tunnel, turbulence intensity is still relatively high, as in the small elbow outlet where TI is higher than 18 percent.

Abstract

Bed material particles in a Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) boiler which entrained in the flue gas may cause material degradation due to abrrasive and high velocity impact of particles to wall surface. In this study, Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) commercial software with Eulerian multiphase is used to study the erosion pattern in several different fluidizing air velocity. The result obtained from simulation in terms of particles volume fraction and particles velocity in selected area was utilised to predict the erosion rate in several different fluidizing air velocity to achieve the optimal value of fluidizing air velocity. The results obtained in this study are helpful to understand how erosion pattern in CFB boiler, how effect fluidizing air velocity to erosion rate, and also helped to know the potential areas occur erosion so helped to choose suitable material in different region.

Abstract

The availability of electricity in the middle of the sea is important for lighting the fishing boat. Therefore, it was designed on a rowboat mechanism associated with piezoelectric energy as the converter. This study simulates the movement of ocean waves with the frequency and amplitude variations that will produce different force. The force of moving components in the mechanism which further encourages piezoelectric cantilever. Deflection caused by the piezoelectric cantilever will produce electrical energy. The greater of the wave frequency, the greater displacement and velocity of thrustmass, so that electric power generated also increases. When the greater the number of Piezoelectric used, the electrical energy produced is getting smaller. This is due to the increasing number of hard piezoelectric added to be deflected. In this study, the maximum electrical energy produces the highest frequency, high amplitude and the number of piezoelectric slightly.
