Abstract

This research investigates the impact of blade number on the performance characteristics of Savonius wind turbines, shedding light on optimal design configurations and operational considerations. Through a combination of experimental testing and computational simulations, the study systematically analyzes key performance metrics including power output, torque generation, rotational speed, and efficiency across varying blade configurations. Findings reveal nuanced relationships between blade number and turbine performance, with implications for design optimization and operational adaptability. While turbines with a higher number of blades demonstrate advantages in terms of energy capture and torque production, they may also encounter challenges related to stability and efficiency. Conversely, turbines with fewer blades exhibit superior rotational dynamics and efficiency under certain conditions but may face limitations at higher wind speeds. The study underscores the importance of holistic optimization approaches that balance competing objectives and trade-offs in turbine design. Looking ahead, collaborative efforts between academia, industry, and government stakeholders are essential to drive innovation and realize the full potential of Savonius wind turbines as a viable, sustainable energy solution for a greener future.

Abstract

This research investigates the viability and performance of a solar-powered adsorption cooling system employing activated carbon and methanol as the adsorbent-adsorbate pair. The study aims to assess the system's effectiveness in harnessing solar energy for cooling purposes while evaluating its efficiency, environmental impact, and economic feasibility. The research methodology involves comprehensive material characterization, prototype design, experimental testing, computational simulations, and performance evaluations. Material characterization confirms activated carbon's high surface area and porosity, validating its suitability for methanol adsorption. Experimental tests demonstrate the system's notable cooling capacity, coupled with moderate coefficient of performance (COP), emphasizing its feasibility. Insights into adsorption-desorption kinetics, temperature dependencies, and energy efficiency metrics reveal optimization pathways for enhancing system performance. Environmental assessments underscore the system's reduced carbon footprint and economic evaluations suggest promising long-term viability despite initial installation costs.

The application of the LDM method for the manufacture of mold masters in the aluminum casting industry is an alternative method which is easy and fast to manufacture. The advantages of LDM are that it can create hollow products, can experiment with physical objects with a high level of complexity, can optimize product design to meet customer demands. Meanwhile, the disadvantages of LDM are that the size produced is less precise, it requires a lot of material support, it cannot make thin products. The LDM method can be used to make mold masters, especially for centrifugal water pump blade mold masters, both simple and complex shapes.

Abstract

Osteology is the science of anatomy in the field of medicine, which includes studying the structure and shape of bones, especially the anatomy of human bones. One of the learning methods is observing and analyzing human bone replicas, this requires that the design of the bone replicas must be similar to the original form. Model design using computer technology, namely CAD (Computer Aided Design) and CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) is now widely used in the field of design and engineering. Complex and precise modeling can be done in a short time with uniform results. PowerSHAPE software as a CAD application program is capable of creating complex and precise models. By using multiple layers, The patella bone wireframe produced by the rapid prototyping method can be processed easily so that it is hoped that a replica of the patella bone can be made close to its original shape.

Several advantages of powder metallurgy technology, namely: eliminating or minimizing the machining process, no wasted material, high surface accuracy and smoothness, increased strength and wear resistance, and complex product shapes. Atomization method is a method that is often used to make powders in bulk. Several known atomization methods are the water atomization method, the gas atomization method, and the centrifugal atomization method. Several new methods in the atomization method are the plasma atomization method, liquid explosion atomization method, ultrasonic atomization method, and so on. In this study, molten aluminum metal was used as the starting material, the process used was the oxy-acetylene plasma welding process. The data obtained by testing the distribution of powder, testing the distribution of powder weight, and testing the macro structure of the powder. The powder produced from the oxy-acetylene plasma burst has the characteristics of a non-spherical powder, but is in the shape of a teardrop. This grayish black color is caused by the powder undergoing an oxidation process and a carburizing process. powder weight distribution test, and powder macro structure testing.

Abstract

This research investigates the geotechnical characteristics of clay soil and their implications for road construction. Clay soils present significant challenges due to their low bearing capacity, high compressibility, and susceptibility to swelling and shrinkage. The study aims to analyze these properties in detail, evaluate effective soil stabilization techniques, and assess advanced drainage solutions and predictive modeling tools. Through a comprehensive methodology that includes site selection, sample collection, laboratory testing, and data analysis, the research provides valuable insights into the behavior of clay soils under various conditions. Key findings reveal that while traditional stabilization methods, such as lime and cement, remain effective, newer materials like fly ash offer enhanced performance. Advanced drainage technologies, including geocomposites and prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs), have proven superior in managing soil moisture and preventing water-related issues. The research also demonstrates that modern compaction techniques and geosynthetics can significantly reduce soil compressibility and settlement. The implications of these findings are profound for the construction industry, offering practical recommendations for improving the durability and performance of roadways on clay soils. The study highlights the need for advanced stabilization, effective drainage solutions, and refined predictive modeling to address the challenges of clay-rich substrates.
