Abstract

Biomass blends with lignite coal (LC) normally have better co-combustion property, which in turn improves electricity output and reduces emissions. Given that global warming caused by emissions of CO, NOx, SO2, CO2 and NO from manufacturing industries and power plants is growing, this study seeks to find environmentally friendly alternative fuel to be employed. Here, suitable particle size of LC was combined with tree leaves (TL), cow dung manure (CDM) and banana tree waste (BTW) in the ratio of 90:10, 80:20, 70:30 and 60:40 each to form 16 samples (4 single and 12 blends). Thermal and combustion characteristics studies conducted during their combustion in an electric muffle furnace at 700  helped declare all blends as favorable with higher heating values ranging from 521179-892952 Btu/lb to be used as fuel in coal-powered plants. For moderately low emissions of flue gases, better thermal combustion property, high heating value (i.e., 892952 Btu/lb) and the highest electricity output, LC90 + CDM10 is the best blend discovered by this study. However, LC utilization still defeats the best performing blend in terms of lower emission with LC80 + TL20 having tolerably closer emission level compared to LC and a good substitute if emission must be kept as same level. Due to this shortcoming, further ratio adjustment or optimization and catalyst/additive addition is recommended to bring the emissions to environmentally friendly levels. It is also paramount to analyze the samples for chlorine concentrations to keep at desired composition in order not to risk a high temperature chlorine corrosion during co-combustion.

Abstract

Medium carbon steel is a kind of material that is usually used in manufacturing axles, gears and shaft. The application of medium carbon steel to axles, gears and shaft requires high hardness on the surface, but high ductility at the core. The mechanical properties of this material can be improved through a heat treatment process. However, in mass production there is obstacles, which is the uneven hardness on the entire surface, thus, it does not meet the hardness standards set as a commercial product. Therefore, cryogenic treatment was added which aimed to maintain the hardness value of the material after heat treatment. The material used in this research was S45C steel. The heat treatment conducted to increase the hardness of S45C steel was hardening followed by tempering. Hardening was carried out at a temperature of 900 with a holding time of 45 minutes, followed by rapid cooling (quenching) using dromus oil as a medium. Tempering was carried out at 450 for 15 minutes. Cryogenic treatment was carried out at -190 for 1 hour. The research results showed that the highest hardness was obtained in specimens with hardening-quenching treatment followed by cryogenics with a hardness value of 35 HRC (core) and 35.8 HRC (surface). The hardness test results were in line with the microstructure test results., where the microstructure of specimens that had hardening-quenching treatment followed by cryogenics were dominated by pearlite, thus the hardness value were high.

Abstract

Turn-milling process is widely applied in industries that provides advantages for machining large-diameter mechanical parts with high speed, reducing cutting temperature, which in turn decreases tool wear. However, it needs to monitor the turn-milling process for preventing the onset of chatter vibration during operation and the chatter induces negative effects. Vibration analysis is one of the ways for monitoring it. However, acquired vibrations should be denoised from noises, wherein the conventional signal filter may have defiance to do that. This paper presents the utilization of the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) method as an efficient and adaptive noise filter. The Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) improvement using EMD is then used for monitoring turn-milling process conditions in the energy-time-frequency domain. The results showed that the reconstructed signal was quite impressive compared to the raw signal and the oscillation of the filtered signal was clearer than the raw signal. The improvement of the filtered signals was proved by the kurtosis index and spectral kurtosis. The improved STFT using EMD showed a significant spectrum with high resolution compared to conventional STFT. The energy density could be observed clearly in the machining characteristic frequencies with an improvement of about 10-100 times larger. The proposed method is therefore effectively applied to monitor the turn-milling condition.

Abstract

The Upper Frame is the most important component of the excavator because it acts as an engine mount or hose holder connected to the main control valve. So for the welding process, special attention is needed for the frame center which aims to avoid weld distortion between the right side and the left and also as a cable holder from the engine.  Therefore, the welding results require special attention starting from the size of the weld and the arrangement of defects in the weld results. The welding process on the Upper Frame uses the GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) process with Lincoln Merit ER70S-6 wire, where the wire size is 1.320 mm and the welding results will be tested using the NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) method, namely Visual Testing. This study aims to determine the results of visual tests in the inside Upper Frame 6015 area using the 1E0099 standard. 1E0099 is the welding procedure used at PT Caterpillar Indonesia Batam. Visual test results from GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) welding are expected to be free of weld defects. If there are still weld defects found, the welding results are still within the acceptance criteria based on internal code 1E0099.

Abstract

Sunlight can be harnessed as a clean and renewable energy source using solar cells and the photovoltaic process. However, relying on direct sunlight exposure can increase solar cell temperatures and negatively impact performance. This research aims to maintain cell efficiency by exploring the effectiveness of spraying coolant media on the bottom surface of panels through three timed intervals (10, 20, and 30 minutes) using three different media (A, B, and C). Each spray application lasts for 1 minute. Analyzing the test results with Minitab18 software with full factorial design will identify the most effective treatment for maintaining performance. Based on the results of the experimental test, coolant A with a 10-minute delay spraying time has a maximum power of 52.89 Watts, a temperature of 48oC, and an efficiency of 5.69%. Response Optimization using Design of Experiment (DOE) Full Factorial shows an optimal response with coolant A and a 10-minute delay spraying time with the lowest temperature at 49.3oC, maximum output power at 46.87 Watts, and efficiency at 5.61%. Moreover, Tukey Krammer test result provides an information about 10-minute delay spraying time has a better performance to reduce the PV panel temperature compared to 30-minute delay spraying time by 3.94 oC.

Abstract

This research discusses the method of making distribution pipes using the Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) welding process, especially for pipes with spiral connections. The material used is API 5L X65. SAW pipes with spiral joints are more commonly used for low-pressure piping systems. However, in certain cases, the production of SAW pipes for Sour Service distribution requires special treatment. Sour Service pipes have a high level of corrosion and residual stress, so Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) is required to prevent Hydrogen Induced Cracking (HIC). HIC occurs due to the absorption and accumulation of hydrogen gas in the metal, causing the formation and growth of cracks, which is also influenced by residual stress. PWHT is applied to reduce residual stress to reduce the risk of corrosion. PWHT is a process to change the structure of the weld metal by heating the metal at a certain temperature and time. This research shows that variations in PWHT temperature produce an average residual stress that is not much different with less difference than 2%, In corrosion testing with the HIC method shows crack evidence but is still satisfactory NACE MR0175 criteria for pipe PWHT temperature variation conditions

Abstract

This study explores the optimization of bio-oil additives derived from the pyrolysis of Ulva lactuca algae, blended with RON 90 gasoline to enhance engine performance and reduce emissions. Addressing the urgent need for sustainable energy, the research focuses on a relatively unexplored area—using algae-derived bio-oils in gasoline engines. The study aimed to identify the optimal blend ratio of bio-oil and gasoline to improve engine metrics such as brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), thermal efficiency, and volumetric efficiency, while minimizing emissions like CO, CO2, and NOx. Experiments were conducted with bio-oil blended at 5%, 10%, and 15% by volume with RON 90 gasoline in a single-cylinder gasoline engine. Results showed that increasing bio-oil concentration led to improved fuel efficiency and thermal efficiency, along with significant reductions in CO and HC emissions. However, NOx emissions presented a complex trend, increasing at lower bio-oil ratios but decreasing significantly at the highest concentration. These findings suggest that algae-derived bio-oil can effectively enhance gasoline engine performance and reduce environmental impact, offering a novel, sustainable alternative fuel option. The study underscores the importance of optimizing blend ratios to maximize benefits and manage emissions, contributing valuable insights to sustainable energy research.

Abstract

Alternative fuels such as Methanol-Butanol-Etanol (MBE) are worthy of development because of their optimal characteristics in SI engines. Selective government regulations on vehicle emissions require a shift to environmentally friendly innovative energy. Fuel-containing alcohol has been proven to reduce pollution levels in vehicles optimally. This research has explored MBE fuel mixtures with three variants through experimental methods. Variations MBE1, MBE2 and MBE3 were mixed with gasoline (RON-90) with capacities (5:2:1, 8:4:1, and 10:6:1)v/v when tested using a dyno test on an SI engine automatic type compression ratio 10:1 with a speed gap of 4000-9000rpm. During testing, torque and Mep experienced an optimal increase in MBE3 fuel of 10.78% and 10.55% compared to commercial fuel (RON-90). Engine power and thermal efficiency increased respectively by 10.03% and 10.69%. This condition is inversely proportional to SFC, which decreased by 21.05%. Furthermore, CO and HC exhaust emissions decreased by 12.12% and 4.60% respectively. This phenomenon shows that MBE fuel shows environmentally friendly performance and exhaust emissions for SI engines in daily activities.

Abstract

The application of Green Energy Technology through Passive Cooling System is the right solution. It aims to achieve energy savings and reduce CO2 emissions. This study focuses on the simulation of room conditions using the computational fluid method. The simulation aims to determine the effect of inlet and outlet configuration against the air condition in the room. The results presented in this simulation are the distribution of air temperature, air humidity, and air velocity. The variations used in the simulation are the air inlet and outlet positions, there are three configurations of air inlet and outlet positions. Variation 1: two inlets – one outlet, Variation 2: two inlets – two outlets, Variation 3: four inlets – three outlets. The results of the study show Variation 3 has the best design if cooling or heating equipment wants to be added, for example passive cooling in summer and a heater for cold weather. On other hand, Variation 1 is the most effective in maintaining the stability of humidity distribution and air velocity within the room. This configuration successfully creates optimal ventilation by generating efficient natural convection without significant fluctuations, achieved using two inlets and one active outlet
