Abstract

Congestion at toll roads has become a pervasive issue in contemporary times, predominantly manifesting at toll booths during the payment process. A noteworthy contributor to this congestion has been identified as the sluggish operational speed of boom gates. In response to this challenge, a modification strategy was implemented to enhance the operational efficiency of existing boom gates. The primary modification involved substituting the conventional electric motor with a more advanced Brushless DC (BLDC) motor boasting a power rating of 660 watts. Additionally, an innovative augmentation integrated a motorcycle disk brake system into the boom gate mechanism. Replacing the original electric motor's internal brake system with the disk brake system aimed to optimize the overall performance of the boom gate. The integration of the motorcycle disk brake system was further complemented by incorporating the push braking system (knoken braking system), serving as the actuator instead of the traditional motorcycle lever handle. This strategic substitution was instrumental in activating the disk brake function at the boom gate. During peak rush hours, the modified boom gate underwent rigorous testing at both the Ciawi and Kelapa Gading toll gates. Results from the trial activities unveiled a remarkable improvement in the boom gate's operational speed. Specifically, the opening speed demonstrated an impressive surge of 51 percent, catapulting from 548 ms to 265 ms. Similarly, the closing speed exhibited a commendable enhancement of 44 percent, elevating from 602 ms to 332 ms. Furthermore, the boom gate cycle per hour experienced a notable escalation, increasing by 25 percent from 356 to 449 cars per hour. These findings underscore the efficacy of the implemented modifications in ameliorating congestion issues at toll booths.

Abstract

The widespread practice of reusing Waste Cooking Oil (WCO) in hawker food stalls, often for multiple frying cycles, presents a significant public health concern due to the degradation of the oil, which can lead to the formation of toxic compounds. These practices not only pose health risks, such as increasing the potential for cardiovascular diseases and cancer, but also contribute to environmental pollution when the oil is improperly disposed of. This study seeks to address these issues by converting WCO, along with crude palm oil (CPO), into biodiesel using a custom-designed mini pilot plant. The biodiesel production process involved a two-step reaction. The first step, esterification, was conducted using a 55:100 alcohol-to-oil volume ratio with 1% by volume sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) as the acid catalyst, at 60°C, with a reaction time of 30 minutes and a stirring speed of 800 rpm. The second step, transesterification, utilized a 6:1 alcohol-to-oil molar ratio, with 1 wt.% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) as the alkaline catalyst, carried out at 70°C over the course of one hour. These conditions were carefully selected to optimize the conversion efficiency and to minimize the free fatty acid content, which is crucial for achieving a high yield of biodiesel. The results demonstrated that the mini pilot plant is highly effective in producing biodiesel from both WCO and CPO. The study also led to the development of a standard operating procedure (SOP) for the biodiesel production process, ensuring reproducibility and efficiency.

Abstract

This study addresses the pressing issue of municipal waste (MW) management by proposing an innovative approach to transform residential solid waste into a valuable resource using green technology. MW, sourced from diverse sectors, undergoes various disposal methods, including incineration, recycling, and landfilling. In Malaysia, the composition of MW aligns with global trends, with food waste and plastic being the predominant categories. This research focuses on producing fertilizer from residential solid waste through a green technology process, utilizing a sequential procedure involving high pressure, high temperature, and energized water to de-polymerize hemicellulose and lignin, followed by microbial enzymatic fermentation. The developed green technology introduces a novel apparatus designed for treating MW in a high-temperature, low-pressure rotating vessel using indirect heating with thermal fluid. The experimental protocol involves four batches of MW samples, evaluating the mass differential before and after the treatment process. Furthermore, a 7-week observation period assesses chili plant growth as an indicator of fertilizer effectiveness. Results indicate a significant 71% mass reduction of MW, amounting to 201.26 kg, emphasizing the efficacy of the developed process. The investigation extends to plant height, comparing MW-derived fertilizer with commercial fertilizer over a 5-week period. Remarkably, chili plants fertilized with MW-derived fertilizer exhibit a greater height of 8.6 cm, surpassing the 7.3 cm observed with commercial fertilizer. This study concludes that MW-derived fertilizer is highly recommended for enhancing plant growth and health in Malaysia, suggesting a sustainable production system. The research not only contributes to waste management but also aligns with broader goals of promoting environmentally conscious and sustainable agricultural practices, emphasizing the potential of green technology in addressing the challenges of municipal waste.

Abstract

This research investigates the feasibility and potential for water recovery from condensate produced by a split-unit air conditioning (AC) system in a commercial building, focusing on Scholar’s Inn UTM (SIUTM) in Johor, Malaysia. The study involves the collection and measurement of condensate water from 243 AC units under various operational conditions. The results indicate that the building can produce up to 4,781 liters of condensate per day, amounting to an annual total of approximately 1,721,160 liters. This significant volume highlights the potential for utilizing condensate as an alternative water source, especially in regions with similar hot and humid climates. Water quality analysis was conducted to evaluate the suitability of the condensate for various applications. The condensate water exhibited a pH of 7.17, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) of 1.0 mg/L, and a copper (Cu) concentration of 1.1 mg/L. While these parameters indicate that the water is within acceptable ranges for non-potable uses, such as irrigation or cooling tower makeup water, the copper concentration slightly exceeds the standard for potable water, necessitating treatment such as reverse osmosis before consumption. The study’s findings underscore the environmental and economic benefits of condensate recovery, offering a sustainable solution to water scarcity issues in commercial buildings. By integrating condensate recovery systems, facilities can reduce their reliance on traditional water sources, contributing to broader water conservation efforts. Future research should explore the long-term viability and scalability of such systems in various building types and climates.

Abstract

This study examines the cooling load requirements of a hotel building by comparing two methodologies: the traditional Cooling Load Temperature Difference (CLTD) method and the Carrier Hourly Analysis Program (HAP) 5.01 software. The primary objective is to validate the accuracy and reliability of these methods in calculating cooling loads across different room types, from standard rooms to larger, more complex suites. The results show that the CLTD method consistently yields higher cooling load estimates, with discrepancies ranging from 3% to 14% compared to HAP 5.01 calculations. These differences are most significant in larger rooms, such as suites and owner’s suites, which have more extensive glass areas, higher occupancy, and more heat-generating equipment. The findings indicate that while the CLTD method is valuable for quick, preliminary estimates, the HAP 5.01 software provides a more precise and comprehensive analysis, taking into account hourly variations, equipment schedules, and other factors that impact cooling loads. This research highlights the need for careful selection of the appropriate calculation method to ensure the efficient design of HVAC systems, maximizing energy efficiency, and maintaining occupant comfort. The study concludes that for projects requiring high accuracy, particularly in complex or large spaces, dynamic simulation tools like HAP 5.01 are preferable. Detailed cooling load results and comparisons are provided in the supplementary documentation, offering further insights into the analysis and its implications for HVAC design.

Abstract

Al-Zn alloys are widely utilized in industries such as automotive, aircraft manufacturing, and advanced military equipment due to their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Among various fabrication methods, metal casting is a commonly used technique for producing structural components from these alloys. However, a significant challenge with metal casting is the reduction in mechanical properties compared to the base material before melting. This reduction highlights the need for research to identify the optimal casting conditions, particularly the casting temperature, which plays a crucial role in maintaining and potentially enhancing the material's mechanical properties. Aluminum alloy 7075, known for its high strength, was selected for investigation. According to the Al-Zn phase diagram, the melting point of aluminum alloy 7075, based on the weight percentage specified by the Standard Aluminum Association, is approximately 660°C. Experiments were conducted by varying the pouring temperature during casting in 30°C increments above this melting point. Specifically, the alloy was melted and cast at three different temperatures: 690°C, 720°C, and 750°C. The mold temperature was consistently maintained at 220°C to isolate the effects of the pouring temperature. Results indicate that increasing the casting temperature significantly affects the alloy's microstructure and mechanical properties. As the casting temperature increases, the cooling rate decreases, leading to a finer grain structure. This finer grain size directly contributes to an increase in hardness, suggesting that higher casting temperatures can enhance the mechanical properties of Al-Zn alloys. These findings emphasize the importance of precise control over casting temperatures to optimize the performance characteristics of aluminum alloy 7075 in high-strength applications.

Abstract

Public interest in colorimetric films for food freshness monitoring has increased recently. In addition to extending the shelf life of packaged food products, packaging materials are also required to provide current information about the freshness of the food while ensuring food quality and safety. The current work aims to prepare smart biodegradable films based on biopolymer-containing color indicators to monitor the quality of Decapterus spp. The pH-sensing colorimetric film was developed from a chitosan biopolymer modified using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and glycerol, as well as methyl red, as an indicator of fish freshness. The effect of using PVA and stirring conditions (temperature and time) on film production was evaluated on its physical appearance, water vapor permeability, and mechanical properties. The results show that the use of PVA can increase the transparency of chitosan films. Incorporating PVA into the film results in brighter and clearer colors compared to films without PVA. The temperature used in the preparation of the film solution has an influence on the mechanical properties and the water vapor permeability. The increasing stirring temperature leads to the enhancement of Young's modulus and the barrier properties against water vapor and moisture, still concurrently impacting a decrease in the film's yield strength and strain. Additionally, the film also exhibits responsiveness to pH during fish spoilage, with a color change that occurs from pink to yellowish. This confirms that the pH-responsive film resulting from this research has great potential to be applied as a real-time indicator of fish freshness during storage.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to conduct a performance comparison between hand-crafted feature matching algorithms and deep learning-based counterparts in the context of rotational variances. Hand-crafted algorithms underwent testing utilizing FLANN (Fast Library for Approximate Nearest Neighbors) as the matcher and RANSAC (Random sample consensus) for outlier detection and elimination, contributing to enhanced accuracy in the results. Surprisingly, experiments revealed that hand-crafted algorithms could yield comparable or superior results to deep learning-based algorithms when exposed to rotational variances. Notably, the application of horizontally flipped images showcased a distinct advantage for deep learning-based algorithms, demonstrating significantly improved results compared to their hand-crafted counterparts. While deep learning-based algorithms exhibit technological advancements, the study found that hand-crafted algorithms like AKAZE and AKAZE-SIFT could effectively compete with their deep learning counterparts, particularly in scenarios involving rotational variances. However, the same level of competitiveness was not observed in horizontally flipped cases, where hand-crafted algorithms exhibited suboptimal results. Conversely, deep learning algorithms such as DELF demonstrated superior results and accuracy in horizontally flipped scenarios. The research underscores that the choice between hand-crafted and deep learning-based algorithms depends on the specific use case. Hand-crafted algorithms exhibit competitiveness, especially in addressing rotational variances, while deep learning-based algorithms, exemplified by DELF, excel in scenarios involving horizontally flipped images, showcasing the unique advantages each approach holds in different contexts.

Abstract

Engine lubricant oil is crucial for minimizing friction between moving components within an engine, directly influencing the engine's reliability and lifespan. Determining the appropriate oil replacement intervals is essential, as extending these intervals necessitates more rigorous monitoring of both oil quality and engine condition. This study investigated the performance of SAKAI 15W-40 DH1 engine oil in the SAKAI Vibrating Roller SV526 over varying operational periods: 125 hours, 250 hours, 375 hours, and 500 hours. The research involved analyzing oil samples for viscosity, metal additives, total base number (TBN), and contaminants using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Additionally, key engine performance indicators, including fuel consumption, valve clearance, and compression pressure, were measured. The findings revealed a gradual decrease in oil viscosity from 13.48 cSt to 11.56 cSt, approaching the minimum acceptable threshold of 11.45 cSt. Concurrently, the Fe content in the oil increased to 11 ppm, indicating wear, while the valve clearance in cylinder number three expanded to 0.48 mm, and compression pressure dropped from 31 kg/cm² to 28 kg/cm². Despite these changes, the oil remained within the standard operational limits, and the engine continued to perform adequately. However, based on the observed trends, extending the oil replacement interval to 500 hours cannot be conclusively recommended, as the oil's condition and engine performance may begin to decline beyond this point.
