Abstract

The growing volume of waste has encouraged the use of fuel derived from waste as an alternative energy source. However, its combustion releases flue gas containing harmful pollutants. This study assesses the effectiveness of a spray tower in reducing the opacity and temperature of flue gas generated from the combustion of a mixture of waste-based fuel and sawdust. Experiments used three fuel masses and three system setups: no sprayer, two sprayers, and four sprayers. Results showed that the spray tower reduced opacity from 33 per cent to about 15 per cent with two sprayers and 11.2 per cent with four sprayers. Gas temperature decreased from 65 degrees Celsius to 39 degrees and 35 degrees Celsius. A higher number of sprayers led to greater pollutant reduction. This technology shows promise as an environmentally friendly method for controlling emissions.

Abstract

Manually slicing shallots is challenging for MSMEs engaged in the fried shallot industry. This study aims to analyze the effect of variations in the speed of knife rotation on the quality of the results of the sliced ​​shallots on the slicing machine. The study was conducted experimentally with five variations in rotation speed, measured using a tachometer, and visual observation to assess the quality of the slices. The results showed that the cutting speed increased from 61 kg/hour to 89 kg/hour, with the quality of the slices remaining at 85%. This study recommends the highest speed as optimal for productivity without reducing the quality of the slices.

Abstract

Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth) is a fast-growing aquatic plant in tropical regions like Indonesia. Though often considered a weed, it remains underutilized as an alternative energy source. This study explores its potential as a solid fuel in the form of eco-friendly bio-briquettes. The production process includes drying, carbonization, sieving, mixing with binder, molding, and final drying. Laboratory tests involved proximate analysis and calorific value measurement. Results showed that the briquettes contained 9.61% moisture, 3.93% ash, 7.89% volatile matter, 78.57% fixed carbon, and a calorific value of 25.8 kJ/g. Compared to coconut shell briquettes, water hyacinth briquettes burn more slowly but offer cleaner and more stable combustion. These characteristics make them a suitable renewable energy source for households and small industries.

Abstract

The global energy crisis has driven efforts to find alternative fuels that are efficient and environmentally friendly. One focus is testing the performance of diesel engines against variations in fuel. This study aims to analyse the effect of diesel fuel types, including Bio Solar, Dexlite, and Pertamina Dex, with cetane numbers of 48, 51, and 53, respectively, on diesel engine performance in terms of power, torque and specific fuel consumption parameters at various levels of electrical load. The method used is an experiment involving a graded electrical load test ranging from 300 to 1500 Watts. Data were collected under stationary conditions at 1500 rpm using instruments such as voltmeters, ammeters, tachometers, and fuel burettes. The results show that Pertamina Dex produces the highest power at peak load due to its high cetane number, while Bio Solar provides the highest torque due to a longer combustion delay. The highest specific fuel consumption occurs in Pertamina Dex at low loads, while Bio Solar is more efficient at low load conditions.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effect of Ni-Cr electroplating on wettability characteristics and pitting corrosion resistance of 316L stainless steel in 0.9% NaCl infusion media. The electroplating process consisted of a nickel base coating for 15 minutes, followed by chromium plating with durations ranging from 10 to 22.5 minutes. Contact angle measurements showed that Ni-Cr coating increased the contact angle from 71.25° to 86.77°, indicating a surface transformation from hydrophilic to more hydrophobic. This increase in contact angle demonstrates the effectiveness of Ni-Cr plating in enhancing the material’s resistance to liquid penetration, a critical property for biomedical applications. Corrosion tests revealed a reduction in pit count and depth after plating, suggesting a significant improvement in resistance to localised corrosion. These findings indicate that Ni-Cr electroplating significantly improves pitting corrosion resistance. This technique can be implemented to enhance the durability of 316L-based implant materials in corrosive body environments, particularly in applications where long-term biocompatibility and surface stability are essential.

Abstract

The welding process is a production process that aims to combine two types of materials into a usable component. In the manufacturing industry, the Tungsten Inert Gas welding process is widely used in industrial processes requiring high accuracy, good welding quality, and welding results. This study compares the strength of welded joints by varying the welding current. This research uses 6061 aluminum material to determine the strength of Tungsten Inert Gas welding joints. The study focused on the strength of Tungsten Inert Gas welding joints with current variations of 140 A, 160 A, and 180 A using a testing method using a three-point bending test to determine the right current variation in the Tungsten Inert Gas welding process. This study found that the current variation of 160 A with a strength of 203.7 N/mm2 is better than 140 A, 139.9 N/mm2, and 180A, 192.1 N/mm2 in Tungsten Inert Gas welding joints.

Abstract

Cutting speed is one of the crucial parameters in the turning process that significantly affects the final quality of the workpiece surface. This study aims to evaluate the impact of cutting speed variations on the surface roughness level of AISI 1018 steel. The machining process was carried out using a chisel with a tip radius of 1.2mm, and the cutting speed was varied at three levels, namely 42m/min, 66m/min, and 105m/min. Surface roughness measurements were carried out using a Surface Roughness Tester. The experimental results showed that increasing cutting speed tended to decrease surface roughness. The lowest roughness value of 2.224 μm was obtained at a cutting speed of 105 m/min. This phenomenon occurs because at higher cutting speeds, cutting forces and vibrations are reduced, so that the machining process becomes more stable and produces better surface quality. This study shows that cutting parameters play an important role in optimizing the final results of conventional turning processes.

Abstract

The turning process is one of the machining methods used to produce cylindrical material shapes. In this experiment, meticulous parameter variations were carried out to obtain optimal surface roughness values. The parameters that varied include the chisel angle and feed rate. The feed rates used were precisely set at 0.045 mm/rev, 0.05 mm/rev, and 0.056 mm/rev. The variations in the chisel angle used were 0.4 mm, 0.8 mm, and 1.2 mm, ensuring a comprehensive exploration of the parameter space. Meanwhile, the spindle speed was kept constant at 1120 rpm, and the cutting depth was set at 0.2 mm. After testing, the surface roughness values were obtained for each parameter variation. The lowest roughness value of 0.782 µm was obtained at a combination of a chisel angle of 0.4 mm and a feed rate of 0.045 mm/rev. This finding has practical implications, as it suggests a specific parameter combination that can be used to achieve optimal surface roughness. Meanwhile, the highest roughness value of 2.206 µm was found in the combination of a chisel angle of 1.2 mm and a feed rate of 0.045 mm/rev. From these results, it can be concluded that the parameters that produce the most optimal surface roughness are in the variation of a chisel angle of 0.4 mm and a feed rate of 0.045 mm/rev, with a roughness value of 0.782 µm.
