Abstract

The cooling tower is one of the vital components in a Geothermal Power Plant (PLTP) system, functioning to cool the condensate water from the condenser before it is reused. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of a counter flow mechanical induced draft cooling tower at PLTP Unit 4, PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy (Tbk), Ulubelu Area. The data were obtained from field measurements conducted over seven days at fourtime intervals each day. The parameters analyzed include range, approach, and effectiveness, calculated using inlet water temperature, outlet water temperature, and wet bulb temperature. The results show an average effectiveness value of 70.05%, with variations influenced by changes in range and approach values. This effectiveness is close to the design standards stated in the manufacturer’s specifications, indicating that the cooling tower operates with good performance. This analysis provides an overview of the actual equipment condition and can serve as a reference for maintenance and performance optimization in the future.

Abstract

SA 516 Gr 70 carbon steel is often used in pressure vessels, requiring a coating system with good adhesive strength to prevent failure due to corrosion. This study analyzes the effect of coating type and thickness on the adhesive strength of SA 516 Gr 70 plates using the pull-off test method in accordance with ASTM D4541. The two coating systems tested were Interbond 2340 (UPC) and Interline 399, with variations in dry film thickness (DFT) of 75 µm, 125 µm, and 175 µm. Surface preparation was carried out through an abrasive blasting process with a cleanliness level of Sa 2½, accompanied by control of roughness profile, salt contamination, dust cleanliness, and control of application environmental conditions to maintain coating quality. Test results show that Interbond 2340 produces higher adhesion values than Interline 399 across all thickness variations, confirming the influence of coating type on coating adhesion performance. A maximum adhesion value of 17.09 MPa was obtained for Interbond 2340 with a thickness of 125 µm, indicating the optimal thickness for increasing the bond strength of the coating to the steel substrate. All specimens met the ASTM D4541 requirements, with Interbond 2340 at a thickness of 125 µm showing the most superior adhesion performance and can be used as a technical reference in selecting a coating system for pressure vessel applications.

Abstract

AISI 4140 steel is a high‑strength, low‑alloy material commonly used in mechanical components subjected to high load and friction. Although its bulk properties are favorable, surface modification is often required to enhance wear resistance and prolong service life. This study investigates the influence of DC sputtering Titanium Nitride (TiN) deposition time on the mechanical performance and microstructural evolution of AISI 4140 steel. The experimental procedure varied sputtering times at 30, 60, 90, 120, and 150 minutes while maintaining constant processing parameters. Characterization techniques included Vickers hardness testing, wear testing, and SEM–EDX analysis to evaluate coating morphology and coating–substrate interface quality. The results indicate that TiN deposition significantly enhances surface hardness compared to the uncoated substrate. The maximum hardness value of 186.66 VHN was achieved at 60 minutes of deposition, corresponding to a dense, uniform coating with strong adhesion. Prolonged deposition times, however, led to decreased hardness and increased wear rate, attributed to excessive coating thickness, microstructural non-uniformity, and the formation of micro-defects. SEM observations corroborate these findings by revealing notable variations in coating morphology and interface integrity across deposition durations. Overall, the study concludes that sputtering time is a critical parameter in optimizing TiN coatings to improve the surface performance of AISI 4140 steel for engineering applications.

Abstract

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites are widely used in structural applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio. Manufacturing methods significantly affect fiber impregnation quality, void content, and mechanical properties. This study investigates the effect of different manufacturing methods on the tensile properties of carbon fiber–epoxy 1011L composites with 0° fiber orientation. Three manufacturing methods were used: hand lay-up (HLU), vacuum bagging (VB), and vacuum assisted resin infusion (VARI). A total of 21 specimens were tested using a Universal Testing Machine (UTM) at the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) following ASTM D3039. The results show that The VARI method showed the best mechanical performance with an average maximum point stress (MPS) of 774,31 MPa and an elastic modulus (ME) of 39.313 MPa, followed by the vacuum bagging and hand lay-up methods. The hand lay-up method produced the lowest MPS and ME values, at 507,72 MPa and 20.401 MPa, respectively. The VARI method produces the best mechanical properties compared to the hand lay-up and vacuum bagging methods.
