Abstract

Identification of road profiles is needed to provide the input of automotive simulation and endurance testing. The analysis with estimation methods is mostly done to identify road profiles. The main goal of analysis methods is to obtain the data of vertical displacements due to road profile measurement. The acceleration data is obtained from measuring road profile by using 4 sensors of accelerometer placed on each car wheel. The measuring data is converted to be vertical displacement data by using a "double integrator", however, it is not easy to get accurate results since the signal obtained carries a lot of noise and it is necessary to design the right filter reduce the noise. In this study, the signal filtering methods reducing the noise were used Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Kalman Filter (KF) combination. Experiments were carried out by combining Fast Fourier Transform and Kalman Filters using an input signal with unit (volt) in the time domain. In addition, this research focused on preparing the survey data that has been obtained by eliminating the noise to convert becoming the displacement input data for providing the loads of automotive simulation testing.

Abstract

The article presents the initial experience (spring-summer 2023) of using artificial neural networks (ANN) to improve traffic management in the large Russian city of Tyumen. Using the example of one of the intersections of the city's road network, it is shown how much transport delays are reduced when the duration of the traffic light cycle phases is quickly adjusted to the actual traffic intensity when compared with the usual previously used traffic light predictive mode. For the specific intersection of Odesskaya and Kotovskogo streets in Tyumen, considered in this article, the traffic light control mode using an ANN can significantly (by 20.6 ... 22.4%) reduce the average delay time of vehicles. It is also important that the reduction in traffic delays, which is possible with the regulation of traffic using ANN, helps to reduce stress for road users and improve road safety. The article presents historical data illustrating the dynamics of changes in the field of traffic management and road safety in Tyumen. This information confirms the thesis about the dialectic of systemic development and the need for a gradual increase in the intellectual component of traffic management in large cities. The Applications (Appendix A and Appendix B) present the code of the auxiliary procedures and functions module and the code of the main data collection module used to optimize the traffic light control mode at the experimental intersection of the Tyumen road network. The main conclusion of the study is that the use of an ANN allows for taking into account a much larger number of factors and optimizing the control of the entire object, consisting of several intersections, which is not achievable using predictive modes and local adaptive control.

Abstract

This study analyzes the tribological properties of 5W-30 synthetic oil with the addition of surfactants and oxide nanomaterials. This research used SAE 5W-30 lubricant base material with the addition of Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3), Titanium Dioxide (TiO2), and Hybrid Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) - Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) nanomaterials. The nano lubricants were synthesized using a two-step method by adding nanomaterials by 0.05% volume fraction, followed by 50 ml of 5W-30 synthetic oil and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) surfactant by 0.1%. Then, it was stirred using a magnetic stirrer for 20 minutes, followed by an ultrasonic homogenizer process for 30 minutes. Further, the nanolubricant was tested to identify its thermophysical properties, including density, dynamic viscosity, and sedimentation. It also underwent tribological testing, including wear, coefficient of friction, and surface roughness. Further, the nanomaterial was characterized using SEM, XRD, and FTIR. The morphological analysis using SEM suggested an irregular shape of the Al2O3 nanomaterial surface, while TiO2 has a spherical shape. Besides, phase identification with XRD testing showed corundum and anatase phases. Functional group analysis through the FTIR showedthe presence of Ti-O and Al-O. The highest density and viscosity results without surfactants were obtained in hybrid nanolubricant 779 kg/mm3 and 0.0579 Pa.s, while the use of surfactants resulted in 788.89 kg/mm3 of density and 0.0695 Pa.sviscosity. Tribological gray cast iron FC25 results in the best COF value observed in SAE 5W-30 + PVP-TiO2 lubrication (0.093). The lowest wear mass without surfactant was obtained in the Al2O3-TiO2 nanolubricant hybrid (0.02 grams), the lowest surface roughness in a mixture of PVP and TiO2 surfactants was 0.743 μm. Meanwhile, the surface morphology of gray cast iron FC25 with hybrid nanolubricant SAE 5W-30 (Al2O3-TiO2) and Nanolubricant SAE 5W-30+ (PVP-TiO2) produced the smoothest surface.

Abstract

Biodiesel is one of the renewable energy sources, non-fossil. The chosen feedstock should ideally be low-cost. Using waste cooking oil can reduce synthetic biodiesel's price by up to 70%. However, biodiesel has the advantage of lower heating value and higher density, causing increased fuel consumption and NOx emissions. Biodiesel has physicochemical properties such as a more significant cetane number than fossil diesel, a high flash point, and the absence of sulfur. This study identifies the potential availability of WCO as biodiesel and summarizes recent studies on the physiochemical properties of WCO biodiesel. This study also aims to clarify the use of WCO biodiesel on engine performance and exhaust emission characteristics (H.C., CO, CO2, NOx) when this biodiesel is used. Engine type and biodiesel ratio were identified for all articles. This study also discusses the effect of adding nanoparticles on engine performance and exhaust emissions in WCO biodiesel. This study also clarifies material compatibility (corrosion, wear, and friction). The corrosion rate in various types of materials and corrosion testing methods. Finally, this paper presents the opportunity for WCO biodiesel to be very feasible to reduce fossil diesel use.

Abstract

Rubber Seed Biodiesel (RSB) and Plastic Pyrolysis Oil (PPO) deserve to be considered as alternative fuels for diesel engines, because of their advantages such as large raw material resources, derived from free or waste feedstock and the use of plastic waste as fuel can prevent environmental pollution. Due to their almost identical densities, RSB and PPO can be mixed homogeneously. In general, the use of a mixture of RSB and petroleum diesel in diesel engines shows positive performance, both engine performance and emissions, as well as the use of mixed PPO and diesel fuel. Although RSB has a good cetane number and flash point, on the other hand, RSB also has disadvantages in its physiochemical properties, such as low oxidation stability, high acid value, low heating value, and high viscosity. Likewise, PPO has good oxidation stability, acid value, and viscosity, but the flash point, CO, and HC emissions are also bad. This article tries to describe the opportunity to mix RSB and PPO, to find the best composition between RSB and PPO which shows the best fuel physiochemical properties and engine performance.

Abstract

Tribological properties are crucial for air-conditioning system performance. The properties can be improved using nanolubricant. However, the effect of the binary ratio of hybrid nanolubricants on the tribological performance of automotive systems is limited in the literature. Therefore, the present study investigates the tribology performance of TiO2-SiO2 nanolubricants for application in automotive air-conditioning (AAC) systems. The dispersion of TiO2 and SiO2 into PVE lubricant was carried out using a two-step method. Subsequently, the dispersion stability was assessed qualitatively and quantitatively. The samples were characterised by a volume concentration of 0.010%, with variations in the mixture ratio of 20:80, 40:60, 50:50, 60:40, and 80:20. Coefficient of friction (COF) and wear scar diameter (WSD) values were determined using the Koehler Four-ball Tribo Tester and Light Compound Microscopy. The investigation revealed that each sample experienced a reduction in COF, with the 40:60 ratio demonstrating the best ratio with the most significant decrease of 37.09%. At the same time, the COF decreased by 8.34%, 2.12%, 7.37%, and 15.11% for the nanolubricant samples at 20:80, 50:50, 60:40, and 80:20, respectively. The WSD evaluation showed that the 40:60 ratio has the lowest scar diameter of 0.0344 mm and a 37.09% wear rate decrease compared to pure lubricant. Each sample exhibits superior performance when evaluated for tribological characteristics and performance, particularly in the case of nanolubricants with the 40:60 ratio. The TiO2-SiO2/PVE, characterised by a volume concentration of 0.010%, has remarkable efficacy across different binary ratios, making it highly recommended with a 40:60 ratio for lubricating AAC compressor systems.

Abstract

To accelerate the energy transition, starting February 1, 2023, the Indonesian government has made it mandatory to use biodiesel (B35). Biodiesel has different characteristics from diesel oil, especially its greater viscosity and density, lower heating value, and high NOx emission. Therefore, this research has been carried out by adding the additive diethyl ether (DEE) to B35 to reduce the viscosity and density, increase the cetane number, and reduce emissions. The effects of diethyl ether on engine performances have been evaluated, including parameters of torque, power, brake thermal efficiency, brake-specific fuel consumption, exhaust emissions, and lubricants. The fuels used are B35 (35% FAME palm oil + 65% diesel oil), and B35 + DEE, with a DEE volume percentage of 3% to 6%. Diesel fuel (B0) was used as a comparison. Tests were carried out in the engine performance test laboratory using the heavy-duty diesel engine Komatsu SAA12V140E-3 at various engine speeds. The test results showed that adding diethyl ether slightly increases the average maximum power, increases brake thermal efficiency, and reduces brake-specific fuel consumption and emissions compared to B35. Very significant effects were seen in NOx and SO2 exhaust emissions. At maximum load, the mixture with 4% diethyl ether gave the greatest brake thermal efficiency, the lowest brake-specific fuel consumption, and the greatest reduction in NOx and SO2 emissions, respectively 7.69%, 6.30%, 53.48%, and 40.89% compared to B35, and 2.24%, (-0.90%), 48.88% and 71.17% compared to B0, respectively. Evaluation of lubricating oil during the performance test did not show a significant difference for all types of fuel used.

Abstract

Improving heat transfer coefficient is a significant subject of study in many engineering domains. The use of nanofluids in car radiators might boost the heat transfer coefficient. The current study investigates a car's radiator's heat transfer coefficient and thermal conductivity. The heat transmission parameters of a car radiator were analyzed for coolant mass flow rates ranging from 600 to 1200 liters/hour and nanofluid concentrations ranging from 0.2 to 0.8% by volume. The primary coolant was prepared by combining water and ethylene glycol in a 60:40% combination with multi-walled carbon nanotube nanoparticles. The coolant's input temperatures were varied between 30 °C and 80 °C by impinging an air jet into the car radiator through a hallow cone nozzle plate with and without spacing. The result demonstrates that the volume flow rate of coolant on the tube side increases considerably as the heat transfer coefficient increases. At a nanoparticle concentration of 0.8 vol. %, the nanofluid's total heat transfer coefficient is enhanced by 12% compared with the base fluid. The heat transfer coefficient is improved by 42.6% for 0.8% volume of MWNCT nanofluid without spacing of the hallow cone nozzle plate and by 51.9% with spacing of the hallow cone nozzle plate.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the reliability of applying a thermal management system in conjunction with Internet of Things in solar electric cars. In conventional electric cars or those whose driving energy source comes from gasoline fuel; the applied thermal management system is mainly used as a coolant for the internal combustion engine. However, for electric cars the thermal management system may be used for the main components such as controllers that convert solar module energy into electricity and batteries. Results from tests utilizing six DC fans for air cooling of the thermal management system yield two variations of battery charging conditions from the solar modules, namely variations of 25 and 400 turns of the trimmer constant current step-up charger. Test results from the proposed thermal management system show that the highest step-up charger temperature is 35.75 °C with voltage of 57.64 V for the variation of 25 laps. The test results on the battery voltage and temperature show that the highest battery temperature reaches 31.75 °C with voltage of 57.3 V at the variation of 25 rounds.
