Abstract

The development of science and technology in automotive field increases as the time went by. The conventional vehicle nowadays has a negative impact on the environment, for example gas emmisions. To cope with the impact the innovation in electric vehicle (EV) is needed. In this research, there are three stages obtain a desired outcome: the data collection stage, the calculation stage, and the analysis stage. For the data collection, there are two methods; the experimental and the simulation stage. For the experimental, dynotest needs to be performed, while in the simulation is to obtain the data generated by Solidwork. In the calculation stage, the maximum speed, traction force, power generated, energy consumption, energy requirement, and slip and skid speed were calculated to obtain the desireable performance. Then, the analysis was performed to compare the performance of ICE and designed BEV and comply with the theories. The results from this research for converting ICE to BEV are re-design of the transmission and replace the engine into BLDC motor. The transmission needed for BEV is two-speed transmission while the motor used is 60 kW BLDC motor. The BEV can performs maximum climb-ability of 30◦ and reaches the maximum speed of 136 km/h in flat road while ICE only have climb-ability of 30◦ and same maximum speed as BEV. The energy consumption of BEV is 0.431 kW.h/km while ICE version is 0.539 kW.h/km. The battery used is Li-ion Ploymer 39 kW.h due to better specific energy and less toxic. For turning behavior, ICE have the safer driving behavior due to the center of gravity and understeer tendency than BEV. But the BEV still save to drive in certain turning speed.

Abstract

The usage of natural gas is ever increasing with environment consciousness ever increasing. A general bi-fuel LPG system is analyzed on a new four-stroke engine. The mixer of LPG is to be designed for the new four-stroke gasoline engine. Mixer design is crucial to meter the flow of natural gas into the combustion chamber. With this the amount of gas can be controlled for different engine speeds and loads. To reduce the time to design computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to get the desired flow condition inside the mixer. The calculation is done for the initial sizing of the throat of the mixer and later is simulated to obtain the best flow characteristics. Different preliminary design is to get the best shape of the mixer. With the help of CFD the best shape is taken for fabrication. The initial calculation for sizing is based on the stoichiometry of the fuel and general fluid dynamic equations.

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 an outer 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

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

The production process of sulfuric acid is carried out in stages from combustion of liquid sulfur to SO$_2$, then to SO$_3$ and dissolving SO$_3$ in aqueous sulfuric acid solution to concentrated sulfuric acid (high concentration). The success of the production process is very dependent on the initial combustion process into SO$_2$, physical parameters on the liquid sulfur characteristics and the nozzle geometry. The process of burning liquid sulfur depends on the pattern of atomization in the geometry of the nozzle and its fluid characteristics. Liquid sulfur is included in non-newtonian fluids, so the atomization process requires an understanding of its characteristics. The atomization mechanism at the nozzle depends on 3 parameters including viscosity, surface tension and density. In non- Newtonian fluid 3 parameters are sensitive to changes in pressure and temperature. In terms of the geometry of the tip nozzle diameter, smaller diameter, the atomization process is better, but a decrease in temperature will cause clogging. Individual installation of temperature and pressure sensors for each nozzle is chosen so that the atomization of each nozzle can be controlled.

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

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 time of 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

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.
