Abstract

This research investigates the performance of water as a working fluid in the shell side of shell-and-tube heat exchangers (STHEs), explicitly analyzing how variations in flow rate influence the heat transfer coefficient, pressure drop, and friction factor characteristics. Experiments were conducted using an STHE with a SUS 201 stainless steel shell and a pure copper tube featuring an inner diameter of 10 mm and an outer diameter of 13 mm. The flow rates of the cold fluid varied at 9, 10, and 12 liters per minute (LPM), while the hot fluid flow was maintained at a constant rate of 6.67 LPM. A 600 W heater, regulated by a PID system, was utilized to evaluate thermal performance, with water serving as the hot fluid on the shell side and the cold fluid on the tube side. Results demonstrate a significant increase in both the heat transfer coefficient and the heat transfer rate with higher flow rates of the cold fluid, with the maximum heat transfer coefficient recorded at 12 LPM and the minimum at 9 LPM. The STHE exhibited high efficiency, with heat transfer rate differences between the shell and tube sides remaining below 5%. Although pressure fluctuations were observed with increasing flow rates, they did not substantially affect the friction factor, indicating a predominantly turbulent flow regime. These findings provide critical insights for optimizing heat transfer performance in STHEs, contributing to advancements in thermal management technologies and enhancing the design of efficient heat exchangers.

Abstract

Solar energy is a renewable energy source that can be converted into electrical energy through photovoltaic (PV) solar cells. However, the efficiency is low, with only 15-20% depending on solar irradiation converted into electricity. The angle of the sun and the structural position of the solar cell system also affect the amount of solar radiation received. Research has been carried out to determine the effect of radiation intensity on the performance of PV solar cells using experimental methods and thermal simulation. The temperature distribution of PV cells has been studied using experimental studies and thermal simulations. The highest temperature was produced at a solar radiation intensity of 1100 W/m2 of 68.4 ⸰C for the experimental study and 69.4 ⸰C for the thermal simulation study. The highest efficiency is produced at a radiation intensity of 1000 W/m2, with the highest efficiency being 11.5%. This study analyzes the impact of radiation intensity on the electrical efficiency of solar PV cells using two-way ANOVA. The radiation intensity has a P-value of 1.85E-05, which indicates an influence on the electricity produced. There is an MS value of research variation smaller than the MS error of 7.22E-07, indicating an interaction between the two variables

Abstract

Industrial developments, especially in the manufacturing and construction sectors, recognize L-hanger ducting as a critical component in HVAC (heating ventilation and air conditioning) ducting systems, which play a role in supporting and stabilizing air ducts. The L-Hanger ducting manufacturing process involves a series of stages, such as shearing, blanking, piercing, trimming, and bending processes. This research focuses on the design and simulation of dies and punches for piercing, blanking, and bending processes using 1.6 mm-thick SPCC-SD material. The aim of this research is to design and analyze progressive dies in order to increase the efficiency of the production process. A comprehensive calculation of the forces involved in the shearing, blanking, piercing, trimming, and bending processes is required in order to predict press machine tonnage requirements to support the production process. This research applies theoretical and numerical validation approaches. Theoretical analysis is used to calculate the overall forces, which are then compared with numerical results and verified through an experimental approach. By understanding and optimizing the design of progressive dies, it is hoped that we can increase the production efficiency of L-hanger Ducting and expand knowledge in the field of metal forming, contributing to the metal forming industry and supporting the development of science.

Abstract

The results of an experiment that used an orthogonal Taguchi method to improve shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) were given. The SMAW method was used to join dissimilar metal of SPHC and St. 30. SPHC material has a low carbon steel content, while St. 30C steels contain a medium amount of carbon steel, which is used for tractor shaft axles. Carbon percentages vary slightly between the two substances. This study aimed to achieve the highest possible quality of tensile strength by utilizing the specified SMAW parameters. SPHC material has a low carbon content, whereas St. 30 steel has a moderate carbon content. This study used the Taguchi experimental method with three input variables and three experimental levels. The SNR ratio is used to evaluate the most optimal SMAW performance. ANOVA analysis is used to evaluate the most crucial parameters in determining the response variable. This research has successfully provided input on the combination of SPHC and St. 30C for SMEs. It operates effectively with a welding current of 133 A, a welding voltage of 9 V, and a filler diameter of 2.0 mm. The S/N ratio analysis found that the welding current, voltage, and filler diameter all had a significant impact on the outcome.

Abstract

The use of press machines in stamping is an important aspect of the manufacturing industry, especially in producing efficient and quality components. This article aims to analyze the cost of the stamping process using mild steel SPCC-SD material measuring 200 mm x 25 mm x 0.8 mm, using two types of press machines, namely 80 tons and 40 tons. Through the cost analysis method, the total cost of the stamping process for the 80-ton press machine is Rp 16,417.4 per 10 pcs, while for the 40-ton press machine, it is Rp 15,028.5, indicating the cost efficiency of the 40-ton press machine is around 8.5%. The tonnage calculation shows that the 40-ton press machine is adequate for the blanking process, with a tonnage requirement of 4 tons, far below the available capacity. These results provide recommendations for the use of 40-ton press machines in the production of steel components on a small to medium scale, considering cost efficiency and optimal performance. This work is expected to increase productivity and cost efficiency in the manufacturing industry, especially at PT GA.

Abstract

A wind turbine power plant (WTPP) is a renewable energy system that harnesses wind energy to generate electricity. Indonesia has been identified as a region with considerable wind energy potential, making it a promising location for developing this technology. In alignment with this potential, the Indonesian government has set a target of approximately 7 GW of installed wind turbine capacity by 2030. This study examines the influence of blade angle on the efficiency of electrical energy generation. Three blade angle variations—20°, 30°, and 40°—were analyzed using an experimental setup featuring a horizontal-axis wind turbine with five blades and a constant wind speed of 6.2 m/s. The rotation of the blades converts wind energy into kinetic energy, which is subsequently transferred to a generator to produce electricity. Experimental investigations were conducted using a laboratory-scale prototype, revealing that a blade angle of 40° achieved the highest efficiency. Specifically, the turbine exhibited an efficiency of approximately 29% after 3 minutes of rotation, which increased to 42% after 8 minutes. These findings highlight the pivotal role of blade angle optimization in enhancing WTPP performance. Moreover, this study provides a valuable reference for advancing wind energy applications in Indonesia, supporting the transition towards more sustainable and efficient renewable energy solutions.

Abstract

The development of electric vehicles (EV) represents a strategic approach to reducing carbon emissions and decreasing reliance on fossil fuels. This study analyzes the driving range of electric vehicles at the University of Mataram using regression techniques to examine the relationship between vehicle load, energy consumption, and range efficiency. Field tests were conducted under various vehicle load conditions (120.5 kg, 130.5 kg, and 140.5 kg) and gear ratio variations. A linear regression analysis was applied to determine the influence of independent variables (vehicle load and gear ratio) on the dependent variables (energy consumption and driving range). The results indicate a positive correlation between vehicle load and energy consumption, alongside a negative correlation with driving range. Specifically, at a load of 120.5 kg, energy consumption was recorded at 29.29 Wh/km, achieving a maximum range efficiency of 82.82 km per kWh. In contrast, at 140.5 kg, energy consumption increased to 44.00 Wh/km, while range efficiency declined to 54.56 km per kWh. Additionally, gear ratio variations significantly affected vehicle performance, with a gear ratio of 10.29 yielding the highest range efficiency of 112.55 km per kWh, whereas a gear ratio of 6.43 exhibited lower efficiency. These findings emphasize the critical role of vehicle load management and optimal gear ratio selection in enhancing energy efficiency. The study provides valuable insights for the design and development of more efficient and sustainable electric vehicles, contributing to advancements in EV technology.

Abstract

The poultry industry plays a crucial role in meeting the growing global demand for meat. However, the feather plucking process remains a significant challenge, particularly for small-scale poultry farmers who often rely on manual methods that are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and potentially unhygienic. This study aimed to design and construct an affordable and efficient poultry feather plucking machine with a 2 kg processing capacity. The machine was designed using 3D modeling software and constructed using plastic materials for the bucket and rotating disc, and steel for the electric motor mount. The use of plastic components aimed to reduce production costs while maintaining efficiency and minimizing the risk of damage to poultry skin during the plucking process. Functional tests were conducted to evaluate the machine's performance, revealing an average processing time of 28 s per bird, a 30% reduction compared to manual plucking. The machine's efficiency was also assessed, demonstrating a 30% improvement over manual methods. The total production cost of the machine was Rp. 450,000, which is more economical than previous studies. Although the developed machine showed promising results, further study is needed to explore additional parameters such as energy consumption, maintenance requirements, and long-term durability. The incorporation of machine learning algorithms for automated cycle time optimization based on different poultry sizes and feather densities could also be investigated in future studies. Overall, this study contributes to the development of affordable and efficient poultry feather plucking machines, which can benefit small-scale poultry farmers and improve the overall efficiency of the poultry industry.

Abstract

Nowadays, researchers focus on developing catalytic converters based on activated carbon (AC) from organic waste to address environmental concerns. This study presents a preliminary investigation into the application of catalytic converters through the synthesis of AC from coconut shells, with optimization achieved through the implementation of fuzzy logic to ascertain the optimal properties of the AC, specifically the activation temperature. The fuzzy logic approach has determined that the optimal activation temperature is 950 °C. The effectiveness of this approach is substantiated by the successful synthesis of AC, as evidenced by XRD, FTIR, and SEM-EDX analysis. The findings indicate that fuzzy logic provides the most accurate activation temperature information, significantly impacting the AC structure. The resulting yield and bulk density values were 26.29% and 0.519 g/ml, respectively. Proximate analysis indicates that the ash content (4.332%), moisture (7.211%), and volatile matter (16.321%) achieve an FCC of 72.136%. The iodine number is a crucial parameter in evaluating the potential application of AC for the catalytic converter. The results demonstrated that the adsorption performance is achieved in 613 mg/g. In conclusion, the AC produced shows considerable potential for use as a catalytic converter. This assertion is substantiated by the successful evaluation of its efficacy in reducing CO and HC, respectively, by approximately 86.04% and 56.79%. To confirm the suitability of the catalytic converter for the vehicle. A series of dynamometer tests were conducted to verify the catalytic converter's performance. The ensuing test results exhibited a decline in torque and power values, yet these measurements remained within acceptable parameters for typical daily utilization.
