Abstract

Injection molding is one of the techniques used to create plastic items. Plastic goods with good dimensional tolerances are frequently made using the efficient, accurate, and cost-effective injection molding process. The advantages of injection molding include quick product production, accurate process execution, cheap labor costs, automation of the process, and the ability to produce large quantities of items. There are many benefits to using a controller as a measuring device when injection molding. Making injection molding equipment easier to handle and observe is one of them. The process of regulating or controlling one or more quantities (variables) so that they are at a specific objective is known as a control system. In this study, a compact, mobile, automatic plastic injection machine that can create small plastic objects was developed. The design process is developed using the Python programming language, and the control system is a microcontroller of the Raspberry Pi type that has a complete architecture, including wifi and bluetooth modules, as well as a lot of memory. A NEMA 23 stepper motor with a torque of 2.2 Nm and a TB6600 motor driver are used in the drive system to control the voltage and rotation of the motor. A band heater type heating element with a maximum working temperature of 350°C at 220 volts is used in the heating system. A desktop program running on a 7-inch TFT display will show the process of controlling and monitoring the device.

Abstract

COVID-19 causes a large increase in medical and non-medical waste in the world, especially in developing countries. Improper waste management causes significant health problems and impacts on the environment. Pyrolysis is a process that utilizes thermal instability of organic components in waste to convert them into liquid (oil), solid (charcoal), gas and wax products that have potential as fuels. Co-pyrolysis of medical face masks as infectious medical waste with non-infectious medical waste such as food waste, garden waste and paper were investigated for energy valorization. Particles, temperature, nitrogen flow rate and waste characterization affected the resulting product. Pyrolysis was carried out at 400 °C with nitrogen (N2) flow rate of 0.5 L/min. Co-pyrolysis of face masks and food waste produced oil with the highest yield because food waste contains dominant amount of cellulose and hemicellulose promoting high oil yield. This pyrolysis method is considered a simple, clean, safe and effective technique to reduce the amount of waste during a global pandemic.

Abstract

In Search and Rescue (SAR) operations, a designated search area is explored with aircraft and helicopters. After target identification, the flying vehicle continues landing and rescue procedures. This research uses a quadcopter to replicate a SAR flight simulation. Autonomous quadcopter operation includes takeoff and navigation between waypoints determined by Mission Planner software. On the way to the second waypoint, a camera-based image processing system scans the ground surface. If the marker is detected by the image processing system, the Raspberry Pi program will instruct control commands to the Pixhawk flight controller to ensure the quadcopter lands directly on the recognized marker. In the case when the quadcopter reaches the second waypoint but the system fails to identify the marker, the Mission Planner commands the quadcopter to autonomously return to the starting point and land automatically at the take-off location. An interesting aspect of this research concerns the application of a low-cost image processing system to ensure the quadcopter flies at a constant flight altitude above the ground surface, so that the quadcopter can perform simulated SAR flight missions and accurately identify landmarks. Research parameters include marker diameter, flight altitude, and quadcopter speed. The results show successful marker detection at a flying altitude of up to 3 meters above the ground and reaching a top speed of 3 m/s at a flying altitude of 2 meters.

Abstract

Simulation of the static loading to the folding frame of the clothes hanger investigated by using Software Autodesk Fusion 360. The strength of the folding frame is important during hanging the clothes weight. The simulation of loading of wet clothes was by Autodesk Fusion 360 and performed in real life. The loads spread to three positions, which those locations investigated as critical locations. The locations are at short distance X1, medium X2, and far X3; the zeroing is from the wall. The simulation performs Von Misses procedure for the loading analysis. Thus, the result of the analysis responds to the external load at the joints of the structure. The loads are the weight of the wet clothes during drying time. The bar aluminum structure connects its parts using hinges. Simulation result obtains data of loading. Further, displacement analysis completes those data. The safety factor was at the frame loading simulation. That is, those data are in by Von Misses stress-strain analysis. The result reveals the effect of the frame loading. The process of loading 12 kg induces a safety factor 3.746, normal stress 73.42 Mpa, and a displacement of structure bar 6.452 mm. At loading 22 kg obtains the safety factor 2.038, maximum stress 134.9 Mpa, and the displacement 9.86 mm. Furthermore, loading 37 kg-load, the safety factor 1.21, prime stress enlarges 61.48 Mpa, and the displacement was larger by 10.97 mm. Therefore, the simulation result concludes the weight of clothes trends a linear effect on the loading of part joints. The frame structure is tough to the weight of dry clothes and safe, deformation of the bar is less than 10 % of normalizing for 37 kg-loading.

Abstract

The cover lower dies constitute a vital component of the ejector compaction tool system employed in the powder metallurgy process for sealface production. However, a failure occurred in the compaction process, leading to the deformation of the component after the production of more than eleven sealfaces. This study investigates the ejector compaction tool system, with a specific focus on the cover lower dies, aiming to optimize the tool's construction. Employing the Pahl & Beitz design methodology, the research encompasses discussions with previous researchers, observation of existing tools, disassembly of current tools, and simulation analysis. Emphasizing static analysis to assess stress, deflection, and safety factor values, the research aims for a safety factor exceeding 2.00 in the redesigned cover lower dies. The optimal solution involves changing the material to AISI D2 with a hardness of 62 HRC, modifying the cover lower dies thickness by 13mm, and increasing springs and retained pins from 2 to 4 pieces. Consequently, the redesigned ejector compaction tool system is deemed operationally safe, signifying a successful improvement in its construction for enhanced reliability and performance.

Abstract

Agriculture waste-based materials have considerable potential as wood-based particleboard alternatives. It has been produced abundantly from nature and considers an eco-friendly material. One of the enormous resources is the paddy by-product, rice straw (about 500 million tonnes per year worldwide). In this work, the mechanical properties of rice straw-based particleboard are predicted easily and quickly using the sessile drop method.  Rice straw was crushed into 2-5 mm diameter powder-like materials, and corn starch was used as the binder. The rice straw particleboard was formed under a hot press machine (5 MPa, 180°C and 120 minutes). Conventionally, the sample mechanical property was tested through Universal Testing Machine (UTM). Unfortunately, the process is costly and difficult to access. It is necessary to have a rapid and low-cost presumption of the mechanical particleboard properties toward more efficient manufacturing. This work proposes a simple sessile drop method to indicate particleboard mechanical properties. Multiple linear regression was performed to see the correlation between sessile drop and UTM testing. It was found statistically that the sessile drop method could be used as an early prediction of particleboard mechanical properties.

Abstract

Galvanic corrosion is a type of corrosion that often occurs in aircraft structures. This type of corrosion occurs because two different types of materials contact each other through an electrolyte media. As a result of this galvanic corrosion, several components in the aircraft structure can be damaged. One example of this damage is the corrosion of the bolts on the aircraft skin. So that makes it difficult to remove from the skin. One way to loosen the bolts due to galvanic corrosion is by heating. By using induction heater to the component, the rusty bolt can be loosened. The heat generated causes the bolt to stretch and break the corrosion and so that the bolt or nut can be opened easily. In this research, by using an Arduino Mega 2560 model to remove bolts and nuts with an open loop and closed loop system was conducted. Arduino Model as a microcontroller which is needed to run a program. The specimens of the bolts are using steel bolts grade 8.8 with key sizes 13, 17, and 19. The temperature to produce induction heater is set to a temperature of 150 °C. The results show that to reach 150 oC each of the key size its produce a different duration of time. Key size 13 took 190 seconds with 35.64 watts of power, key size 17 took 279 seconds with 36.96 watts power and the 19 key took 296 seconds with 41.43 watts power.

Abstract

Centrifugal pumps are a type of pump that is widely used in various industrial applications to convey liquids. This article presents a comprehensive review of centrifugal pumps, including working principles, main components, pump power, and pump efficiency. Centrifugal pumps operate on the principle of converting kinetic energy into hydraulic energy to move fluids through a pipe system. The main components include the impeller, casing, shaft, and seal. There are several types of centrifugal pumps, including single-stage and multi-stage pumps. Centrifugal pump applications include use in the chemical industry, water treatment, agriculture, firefighting, and more. The advantages of centrifugal pumps include compact size, high efficiency, and the ability to handle fluids of various viscosities. By understanding the basic principles and applications of centrifugal pumps, users can optimize the performance of their fluid flow systems efficiently and reliably. The 946-P-1B pump is a pump used for crude feed pumps or can be said to transfer crude oil from the tank to the distillation unit. Based on analysis of the calculation data, it can be concluded that the efficiency of the 946-P-1 B pump has a range of between 47% and 55%. This efficiency describes the level of the pump's ability to convert hydrolysis power into power on the pump shaft. It was found that pump efficiency tends to be directly proportional to the power on the pump shaft; The higher the pump shaft power (Pout), the pump efficiency also tends to increase.
