Abstract

In the machining process, selecting the appropriate tool and coolant significantly affects the surface roughness of a product to be manufactured. The purpose of this research is to compare between soluble oil and vegetable oil as coolants in reducing roughness values and dissipating heat generated during the machining process of ST 42 steel. Carbide tools and vegetable oil coolants, namely cooking oil and castor oil, are used in this study, with soluble oil used as a reference. The machining process in this study employs conventional machining with a spindle speed of 1200 rpm, a cutting depth of 0.2 mm and 0.4 mm, and a cutting speed of 0.04 mm/minute. Temperature data collection during the machining process is carried out using a thermogun, and surface roughness testing is conducted using a Mitutoyo SJ-310 surface roughness tester. From the test results, the lowest roughness and temperature values are obtained at a cutting depth of 0.2 mm for all types of coolants used. The use of soluble oil yields the lowest average roughness and temperature values, which are 35.2 °C and 0.9 µm, respectively. Meanwhile, in the use of vegetable oil to minimize surface roughness, the lowest average value is found in cooking oil, which is 1.5 µm, and to minimize surface temperature during machining, castor oil coolant is the most effective, with a temperature of 40.1 °C.

Abstract

The post-tempering cooling process in chocolate production is critical for achieving the desired quality attributes, including gloss, texture, and the stability of cocoa butter crystals. An essential aspect of the food processing industry is the demand for reliable cooling systems to maintain product quality, particularly in chocolate processing. This research focuses on designing and evaluating a cooling system based on an air cooled mini chiller integrated with an Air Handling Unit (AHU). The system gradually lowers the temperature of chocolate from 50°C to 27°C. The process involves creating a system based on cooling load calculations and thermal efficiency analysis, assembling it with a thermally insulated cabin, and conducting experimental testing to evaluate its performance. The testing environment was maintained at 31°C with relative humidity between 70% and 80%, without the use of a dehumidification system. The result indicates that the system can reduce the product temperature to 27°C in 38 minutes, with an efficiency of 63%. This represents an improvement compared to initial design efficiency, which was only 52%. Moreover, the cooling system operates effectively and stably, making it suitable for application in small-scale chocolate processing industries with a production capacity of 1–5 kg per cycle. This innovative solution is effective, stable, energy-efficient, and tailored for small scale chocolate production, and also offers future advancements in automated cooling technologies.

Abstract

Differential helical gears are critical components in power transmission systems of vehicles, responsible for transmitting torque from the engine to the drive wheels. These components operate under continuous high torque loads and are susceptible to failure due to material fatigue and the presence of initial cracks. This study aims to predict the initial crack location and evaluate the potential failure of a differential helical gear subjected to a 175 Nm torque using the Finite Element Method (FEM). The gear was modeled with actual dimensions and simulated using ANSYS software under two conditions: without cracks and with an initial crack. The simulation results show that the maximum shear stress without a crack is 45.82 MPa, while with an initial crack, it increases to 66.14 MPa, exceeding the allowable shear stress of ASTM A36 material at 45.45 MPa. This significant increase in stress due to the crack indicates a high risk of structural failure. Therefore, finite element analysis proves to be an effective tool for early crack detection and stress distribution evaluation, which is essential for improving the reliability of gear design and material selection.

Abstract

Industry 4.0 is supported by nine foundational pillars, including Big Data and Analytics, Autonomous Robots, Simulation, Horizontal and Vertical System Integration, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Augmented Reality, Cloud Computing, Additive Manufacturing, and Cybersecurity. This study focuses on horizontal and vertical system integration, which enables seamless information flow across departments, suppliers, and customers through smart systems and IoT devices. One important tool in supporting industrial integration is Computer Aided Design (CAD), which plays a key role in product design and the generation of blueprints that bridge design and manufacturing functions. Most widely used CAD software such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Inventor, and CATIA are commercial and come with high licensing costs. At Samudra University, Autodesk Inventor Student Version was previously utilized for educational purposes; however, due to its feature limitations and temporary license, an alternative was sought. In collaboration with the Mechanical Engineering Department, FreeCAD was explored as an Open Source solution. This research aims to identify a free and open-source CAD software that offers features comparable to commercial CAD tools and can be further developed without licensing constraints. The methodology involves collecting various Open Source CAD applications, establishing evaluation criteria, testing core functionalities, and selecting the most suitable application to support academic and industrial design needs.

Abstract

Aceh Province is experiencing rapid changes in infrastructure along with population growth and globalization and urbanization. This development and growth has led to a significant increase in the construction of high-rise buildings in urban areas. In multi-storey buildings, the use of materials that have a low albedo against solar radiation, so that a lot of radiation is absorbed and stored in the form of heat in the building so that it can increase the temperature of the building up to 12 °C. The absence of heat absorbers such as green plants around the building affects the thermal comfort of building occupants. Thermal comfort can be measured using various parameters, one of which is the Temperature Humidity Index (THI). The use of green plants of the type of Sansevieria Ttrifasciata which is used as a building envelope for 7 days on the 2nd floor of the Samudra University Laboratory building to measure the temperature difference after being absorbed first by the (Sansevieria Ttrifasciata) in the photosynthesis process. The results show that the THI thermal comfort index is reached at 25°C to 26°C with the conditions shown based on the ASHRAE 55 standard is thermally comfortable.

Abstract

In order to develop literature studies on this research, solar panel monitoring systems to track the efficiency of solar energy conversion processes into electrical energy have been developed. The aim of this study was to build an IOT monitoring system on a mini solar panel to examine the impact of storing data in a microcontroller or IOT manner on the Thingspeak website. However, in this study, the same research was conducted, the difference being the use of a mini solar panel with a voltage capacity of 5V and a current of 60mA with a series or parallel assembly to obtain a voltage in the process of charging a 12V battery and a current of 5Ah. When using circuit design techniques, creating connectivity testing tools, data comparison, data processing, and finally, the test results, data is generated in the form of voltage, current, and power. The test results show that data storage using the microcontroller is faster than data storage using the IOT, which is due to the slow wifi signal speed. The error trend between the IOT and microcontroller from 10:00 to 11:00 o'clock decreased from the difference of 0.563 watts to 0.011 watts, indicating that the storage error between the IOT and the microcontroller is not too bad.
