Abstract

Education plays a crucial role in developing human resources with the necessary character and competence to meet the demands of the future Industrial 4.0 revolution. To ensure the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process, schools require supporting facilities and infrastructure. One such component is the school bell, which helps teachers notify students of daily schedules. As technology advances, some schools have adopted an automatic school bell as an alternative to traditional bells. These automatic school bells use Arduino microcontroller technology to ring at scheduled times, automatically improving accuracy and convenience. By utilizing sound output via an Arduino-based system, every created information can be easily delivered and reached. This study follows the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) method, a widely used system development methodology encompassing hardware and software systems. The research successfully demonstrates an automatic school bell system capable of automatically producing notification sounds, optimizing electricity consumption, and generating precise sound frequencies during teaching and learning activities. The output voltage and current results at various parts of the automatic school bell system range from 4.17 to 5.90 volts and 488 to 602 mA, respectively. At the same time, power consumption achieved about 2.07 to 3.38 Watts. An automatic school bell system simplifies ringing the school bell as it seamlessly integrates with the scheduled timetable (software). As a result, the automatic school bell now rings automatically according to the pre-defined schedule, enhancing efficiency and ensuring timely transitions between classes and breaks.

Abstract

The hydraulic system is an energy transmission system utilizing liquid fluids. Liquids possess a characteristic different from solids in their inability to withstand shear stress. The employed methodology is qualitative research, also referred to as naturalistic qualitative research, which entails a natural implementation without manipulating circumstances. This study aims to identify the causes of damage to the hydraulic system in the press section machine, along with implementing appropriate corrective measures, while examining the hydraulic functioning of the press section machine. The research problem specifically focuses on analyzing the damage to the hydraulic cylinder and addressing cylinder seal failure. The damage results from seal wrinkling caused by aging, heat and wear. It is important to ensure that the hydrostatic test pressure is carried out at pressures up to 20 MPa with a holding time of at least 30 seconds. This examination ensures that the hydraulic roll press problem has been fully resolved and will not reoccur. Hydraulic systems offer numerous advantages as an energy source in various applications. These advantages include their lightweight nature, ease of installation, and low maintenance requirements. Inadequate performance in the hydraulic roller pressure section is attributed to a hydraulic cylinder seal that does not meet the specified standards, necessitating replacement with a suitable seal.

Abstract

This study aims to understand the effect of current strength variations on the Direct Current Negative Electrode (DCEN) polarity on the results of welding at butt joint joints. In this study, ASTM A36 steel was chosen as the main material, while the E6013 electrode was used as the welding electrode. The method used is an experimental approach with a qualitative approach, which allows researchers to gain a deeper understanding of the effect of current variables on welding results. The results of three experiments conducted at welding current of 60 A, 90 A, and 120 A provide a clear picture of the effect of these variables on the butt joint. In the first specimen with a current strength of 60 A, there was not enough penetration and many defects in the capping. Low current strength does not produce optimal welding results at the joint. However, in the second specimen with a current strength of 90 A, there was an initiation of penetration, although it was still incomplete. There are also fewer defects in the capping compared to the first specimen, and it shows an increase in welding results with an increase in current strength. In the third specimen with a current strength of 120 A, there is better penetration, but still not achieving complete penetration. In addition, the capping has many defects, including the suck back. It shows that using high current strength only sometimes produces optimal welding results and can present challenges, such as joint defects.

Abstract

This study discusses the performance of Ethaline Glycol/water (EG/H2O) fluids at a volume ratio of 40/60. EG/H2O fluids are widely used as basic fluids in cooling and heating system applications. The discussion of EG/H2O fluid performance is focused on the analysis of the heat transfer coefficient and pressure drop. The study used an experimental method using a suction test made of pure copper with an inner diameter, outer diameter and length of 16 mm, 19 mm and 1500 mm respectively. The EG/H2O volume ratio at 40/60 was selected as the input parameter. Other input parameters are variations in the fluid flow rate which are regulated using a control valve at fluid flow rates of 4, 6, 8, 10.12, 14.16 and 18 liters/minute. A 2-unit tubular heater with a total capacity of 2000 W was installed on the sides of the copper pipes. A voltage regulator with a capacity of 3000 W is used to regulate the electric power by regulating the supplied voltage. Ampere pliers are used to measure amperage at the setting used. The experimental results show that the performance of the EG/H2O fluid on the heat transfer coefficient increases as the fluid flow rate increases. The highest heat transfer coefficient rate was obtained at a fluid flow rate of 18 L/minute, while the lowest value was obtained at a fluid flow rate of 4 L/minute. Pressure drops fluctuations occur as the fluid flow rate increases. Even though there is a fluctuating pressure drop, this condition does not significantly affect the friction factor, because the fluid flow characteristics occur in a turbulent manner

Abstract

Nowadays, global warming is a tremendous phenomena in the world. Every country trying to solve these conditions, including Indonesia that has a campaign to reduce the emission of CO and HC from vehicles. However, the number of vehicles is increasing every year. Based on that condition, the researchers are trying to modify the fuel with the additive. This work modified the gasoline with 10% ethanol additive addition and investigated the viscosity properties using Stokes law linear regression method and compared to pure gasoline. The viscosity properties are chosen by their effect on emission of vehicles. A low viscosity of fuel can reduce CO and HC in gas emission. Then, this work was finding that the viscosity of gasoline is decreased, but 10% of ethanol does not significantly change the characteristics of gasoline. Even so, the linear regression has successfully used as an analyzed method to determined the viscosity. Then, this finding also contributes to development of fuel in Indonesia to reduce the emission of CO and HC with the modified of gasoline using ethanol in the other concentration.

Abstract

This study investigates the performance of an ethylene glycol/water (EG/Water) fluid at a 40:60 volume ratio, a commonly used base fluid in heating and cooling systems. The evaluation focuses on analyzing heat transfer coefficients and pressure drops. The research adopts an experimental approach, utilizing a test section made of pure copper with an inner diameter of 16 mm, an outer diameter of 19 mm, and a length of 1500 mm. The volume ratio of EG/Water at 40:60 is an input parameter, along with varying fluid flow rates controlled by a valve, ranging from 2 to 18 liters per minute. Two tubular heaters with a combined capacity of 2000 W are attached to the copper pipe, regulated by a 3000 W voltage regulator. Electric current is measured with ammeters. The experimental results reveal that the heat transfer coefficient of the EG/Water fluid increases as the fluid flow rate rises. The highest heat transfer coefficient is achieved at 18 L/min, while the lowest is observed at 4 L/min. Pressure drop increases with higher flow rates, but this does not significantly affect the friction factor, as it undergoes a noticeable decrease while the Reynolds number increases.

Abstract

The persistent challenges in material forming processes arise from recurrent issues encountered during the deep drawing process, particularly involving cracks and deviations from standard thickness dimensions. This article investigates the deep drawing process using both experimental and numerical methodologies. The experimental approach employs a 40-ton capacity power press machine, while the numerical method utilizes the ABAQUS student version software. SPCC-SD (JIS G3141) is the selected material for producing a Dop-pipe 2-inch diameter pipe cap in both approaches. Noteworthy findings include the highest positive and negative correlations observed in elements E 46 and E 48, with values of 0.715 and -0.933, respectively. Minimal disparities, averaging around 4.6% for all components, were evident between the experimental and numerical methodologies. The numerical approach yielded predictive results identifying potential issues in elements E 47 and E 48. This observation did not reveal instances of tearing failure but instead showcased an increase in thickness due to a higher axial force between the dies and punched-in components. The study successfully and accurately predicted product thickness for all components, presenting a contrast with outcomes obtained through the experimental method. Furthermore, this research advances the deep drawing process, extending its applicability to broader material forming applications and ultimately enhancing overall production process efficiency.

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
