Abstract

A cooling machine is a mechanism in the form of a cycle that takes energy (thermal) from a low temperature area and discharges it to a high temperature area (environment), so that the cooling load greatly influences the performance of the cooling machine. The greater the cooling load being cooled, the greater the cooling engine power will be required. Likewise, the smaller the cooling load, the smaller the cooling engine power required. The method used in this experiment is a quantitative method where we collect data and then process the data to get the Coefficient of Performance (COP) value. Based on the observations from the data collection results, it was found that in the 5th minute to the 30th minute there was a decrease in temperature, where the room temperature in the cooling machine was initially 24°C and the temperature decrease began to occur in the measurement at the 5th minute, amounting to 20.5° C, at the 10th minute it was 20.42°C, at the 15th minute it was 19.04°C, at the 20th minute it was 18.06°C, at the 25th minute it was 17.94°C, and at the 30th minute it was 17.82°C. From the actual COP data, in minutes 5 to 10 there was a decrease in temperature of 0.46%, where this percentage shows that there has not been a significant decrease in temperature, where a fairly high decrease occurred in the 15th to 20 minutes, where the percentages are consecutive. -also shows 7.95% and 5.64%. From the 25th to the 30th minute, the rate of decline began to remain constant again with a percentage of only 0.69%.

Abstract

Heat transfer is the process of energy transfer from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature, occurring through conduction, convection, and radiation mechanisms. Understanding heat transfer is crucial in various industrial and thermodynamic applications. One commonly used device in this process is the heat exchanger, which allows heat transfer between two fluids with different temperatures without direct mixing. This research aims to evaluate the heat transfer phenomena in heat exchangers and their performance under various operational conditions. The study measured the average temperature difference, kinematic viscosity, Reynolds number, fluid velocity, heat exchanger efficiency, the average heat released and received, and the heat transfer coefficient. The results showed a high heat exchanger efficiency, with an average value of 99.53%. The heat transfer coefficient also showed significant values, varying based on fluid flow type and operational conditions. This study emphasizes the importance of selecting the appropriate type and design of heat exchanger to improve thermal system efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

Abstract

In many industrial processes, heat transfer—the movement of thermal energy from one object or medium to another—is a significant phenomena. Conduction, convection, and radiation are the three primary mechanisms via which this phenomena happens. When a temperature gradient causes heat to go from a hotter to a cooler region in a solid substance, this process is known as conduction. Heat is transferred through a moving fluid (liquid or gas) by convection, which can occur spontaneously as a result of density differences or be induced mechanically by a pump or fan. Unlike the other two methods, radiation includes the movement of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves and does not require a medium.

Abstract

Energy is the main need today, with fossil energy sources increasingly depleting. Therefore, the development of renewable energy, such as solar energy, is very important. This article discusses the efficiency produced by solar cells in research conducted at the Energy Conversion Laboratory of the National Development University "Veteran" East Java. Solar cells are devices that convert solar energy into electrical energy through photovoltaic effects, without producing pollution or greenhouse gases, so they are an environmentally friendly energy source. Data was taken at 10.00-10.30, by measuring battery and solar panel voltage, battery charging current, and solar panel temperature. The experimental method was used by collecting data three times every 15 minutes for 30 minutes. The solar panel used is GH solar type GH 100 WP-72. Efficiency is calculated based on input and output power, with the highest efficiency achieved when the battery is full. The results show the lowest efficiency of 3.67% at 10.40 with a light intensity of 313.24 W/m² and the highest efficiency between 20.76% to 23.52% at 13.20-13.50 with a light intensity of 255.64 W/m² to 289. 61 W/m². Solar cell efficiency is greatly influenced by battery condition and light intensity.

Abstract

Stunting remains a significant national health issue in Indonesia, prompting the government to focus on its prevention through regular monitoring of child growth. This study aimed to determine the preferred IoT-based anthropometric measuring device for toddlers using Decision Support System (DSS) methods, specifically Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Weighted Product (WP), and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). Two products, Product A and Product B, were evaluated based on criteria including accuracy, ease of use, durability, connectivity, and cost. The AHP method was used to determine the criteria weights, followed by the application of WP and TOPSIS to rank the products. The results indicated that Product A was consistently preferred, demonstrating superior performance in accuracy testing with an average accuracy of 98.76% for height and 99.21% for weight measurements, compared to Product B’s 95.42% and 96.85%, respectively. These findings validate the effectiveness of the DSS methods used, providing a reliable approach for selecting IoT-based healthcare devices. This study offers a practical decision-making framework for Posyandu and other healthcare facilities to ensure accurate and efficient child growth monitoring.

Abstract

This study investigates the static load failure behavior of a shaft made from tempered and hardened AISI 1040 carbon steel using both analytical calculations and numerical simulations. The shaft, with a diameter of 30 mm and length of 350 mm, was subjected to a vertical force of 800 N and torsional moments of 190 Nm and 50 Nm at different ends. Mechanical properties of the material, including a yield strength of 659.10 MPa and ultimate strength of 892.70 MPa, were used to support stress analysis. Analytical methods based on classical mechanics were applied to calculate bending stress, shear stress, von Mises stress, and safety factors. These were then validated through finite element simulation using ANSYS Static Structural. Results showed that the maximum von Mises stress from simulation was 51.5 MPa, significantly below the material's yield strength, while the analytical calculation gave 71.7 MPa. The maximum shear stress was 26.2 MPa in the simulation versus 35.9 MPa analytically. Total deformation reached 0.546 mm in simulation, and 0.0848 mm from manual calculation. The equivalent elastic strain was also within elastic limits in both methods. The safety factor was 12.789 from simulation and 9.27 from manual calculation, indicating a highly safe design. Additionally, the fatigue life analysis revealed the shaft could withstand up to 100 million load cycles without failure. These findings confirm that the shaft remains structurally and functionally safe under the given static and cyclic load conditions.
