Polimesin mostly publishes studies in the core areas of mechanical engineering, such as energy conversion, machine and mechanism design, and manufacturing technology. As science and technology develop rapidly in combination with other disciplines such as electrical, Polimesin also adapts to new facts by accepting manuscripts in mechatronics. In Biomechanics, Mechanical study in musculoskeletal and bio-tissue has been widely recognized to help better life quality for disabled people and physical rehabilitation work. Such a wide range of Polimesin could be published, but it still has criteria to apply mechanical systems and principles. Exceeding the limitation has been a common reason for rejection by those outside the scope. Using chemical principles more than mechanical ones in material engineering has been a common reason for rejection after submission. Excessive exploration of the management within the discipline of Industrial Engineering in the manufacturing technology scope is also unacceptable. The sub-scope biomechanics that focuses on ergonomics and does not study movement involving applied force on the bio-tissue is also not suitable for submission.

Abstract

The global warming makes the ambient temperature hotter and greater efforts are made to reach a comfortable temperature. The continuous use of air conditioners that consume electricity is also unsustainable for the surrounding environment. Several studies on thermal comfort have been conducted by various researchers. Earth-air heat exchangers (EAHE) with air-working fluids can be used as a passive contribution to reduce building energy requirements for heating or cooling purposes. It should be noted that there is very little information in the literature on the development of a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) simulation model of an EAHE for space cooling of a 36 m2 house in a tropical climate, such as Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to examine the performance of EAHE with several variations in design parameters, such as pipe length, pipe diameter, number of pipe bends, and the type of soil where the EAHE is installed, as well as the thermal regime of a 36 m2 house either with or without the use of EAHE. The simulation in this study was conducted with CFD ANSYS Fluent software. The inlet air temperature of EAHE was set to be the same as the ambient air temperature, namely 31.4oC. The simulation results reveal that for variations in pipe length, the highest drop in outlet air temperature was yielded by the 47 m pipe length, which is 26.8°C. In which an increase in pipe length causes a decrease in air outlet temperature. The variation in pipe diameter does not significantly affect the outlet air temperature. Where the average air temperature drop at the EAHE exit is 0.046oC. The variation in number of turns shows that the drop in outlet air temperature is identical, namely 28.2°C, despite the fact that their pressure drop values are different. In addition, it was found that the performance of EAHE buried under different types of soil is distinct. The highest drop in outlet air temperature was generated when the EAHE was buried in silty soil, namely 26.1°C. A case study on a 36 m2 house shows that the utilization an underground heat exchanger can reduce the house’s indoor temperature by 2°C, with an average house temperature of 30.4°C compared to that with a natural ventilation.

Abstract

Jaloe Kayoh is a traditional canoe used by Aceh's fishing communities to catch fish in downstream rivers and shallow waters. The current Jaloe Kayoh design does not meet ergonomic aspects, especially in the user's seat position component. It is known from the results of distributing the Nordic Body Map (NBM) questionnaire at the initial stage of the study which was distributed to 30 respondents, that 9 out of 27 fisherman's body parts were in the "very high" complaint score. This complaint is also supported by data on the user's sitting position by bending the legs to form an angle of 70°, while the ideal sitting position is with the body upright and bending the legs at an angle of 90°-135°. Because this can lead to complaints that have an impact on the risk of long-term injury such as Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) so this study aims to design a seat for Jaloe Kayoh users according to anthropometric measurements to avoid the risk of long-term injury. The design of the Jaloe Kayoh stand was carried out using the anthropometric approach of Acehnese fishermen and the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method as a reference for researchers to determine the design according to the wishes of the user. The anthropometric dimensions used in this design are popliteal height (PH), buttock-popliteal length (BPL), hip breadth (HB), backrest height (BH), elbow rest height (ERH), and shoulder breadth (SB). Data Calculation from anthropometry produces the 5th, 50th and 95th percentile measurements, which will be used in designing the seat position for Jaloe Kayoh users. The three percentile values result in a new measure of the design; PH is 39.31 cm; BPL of 48.43 cm; HB is 40.31 cm; BH is 61.37 cm; ERH of 100o; SB is 52.26 cm. So based on the QFD method produced by the house of quality, it produces a design for the Jaloe Kayoh seat position that is in accordance with what the user wants

Abstract

This study aims to compare the effect of magnetic field induction on the characteristics of the fire resulting from the combustion of premixed biodiesel calophyllum inophyllum . Further research on premixed combustion flames due to magnetic field induction. As time goes by, petroleum is currently running low, therefore alternative biofuels are needed. One type of non-food vegetable oil is Jatropha and calophyllum inophyllum  oil, besides not being consumed, it can be processed into biodiesel as fuel. To get a more effective and efficient flame, you can apply a magnetic field effect to the fire, especially in terms of the burning rate of the fire. The experimental research method is to heat calophyllum inophyllum biodiesel until it is in the form of steam, then flow it to the burner which will then be given air which is controlled by the flow mass. Then the fire is ignited and the mass of the air flow is increased until the fire is lifted until it is extinguished. Two magnets are placed between the burners by varying the direction of the magnetic field N-S, N-N and the results of this study are the shape of the flame. The resulting fire is more transparent, clearer and more visible. The direction of the N-S magnetic field causes the temperature to be higher than the direction of the N-N magnetic field. The high and low of the flame is affected by the direction of the magnetic field, the stronger the N-S magnetic field. The magnetic field can affect the burning speed of the biodiesel flame. In a poor mixture (ϕ 1) in the presence of magnetic influence, the rate of fire is lower without the influence of a magnetic field, but in a rich mixture (ϕ 1) in the presence of a magnetic influence, the rate of fire is higher than without the influence of a magnetic field. This is due to the magnetic influence that induces oxygen. Oxygen is paramagnetic, so it can be attracted by magnetic fields.

Abstract

This study discusses the design analysis of compression molding cavity and core under 12 tons of pressure and 100oC heat using experimental analysis and Ansys R19.2 simulation. This compression mold is used to process composite materials, mainly thermoset matrix composites. The compression product is a tensile test specimen according to the ASTM D638-4 standard. The main concern of this study aimed to analyze the stress distribution and deflection due to the compression load and heat on the cavity and core of compression molding. Hence, the die construction is safe during the operation under these loads. The analysis was carried out using Von Mises's stress of static loading criteria. The research parameter examined are stress distribution, deflection, and some critical dimensions in the cavity and core. These parameters significantly affect mold performance, product quality, and service life. Experimental analysis shows that the maximum deflection of the cavity and the core is 4.40 x10-4 mm and 1.53 x 10−4 mm, respectively. On the other hand, Simulation analysis shows the maximum deflection of the cavity and core is 4.56 x 10−4 mm and 7.41 x 10-5 mm, respectively. The error between experimental analysis and simulation is 6.87 x 10-5 mm and 3.32 x 10-5 mm for the cavity and the core, respectively. For stress analysis, the maximum value is 37.94 MPa for both cavity and core. On the other hand, simulation analysis shows 262 MPa and 256 MPa for the cavity and core, respectively. Both experimental analysis and simulation show that the result complies with the standard, less than 0,025 mm for deflection, and stress is less than 1034 MPa for maximum stress. Therefore, compression mold structure is safely used.

Abstract

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been applied to simulate boat propellers. The material for boat propellers generally uses a brass alloy metal which is produced by a casting process. The purpose of this study was to simulate CFC propellers, evaluate the hardness and tensile strength of samples cast from the brass alloy used to produce ship propellers. The methods show that turbulent kinetic energy, density streamline characteristic, and velocity distribution are simulated boat propellers with CFD applications. Furthermore, the propeller is cast to observe the surface hardness and tensile strength of the cast alloy. The results revealed that the boundary conditions - which served as the simulation's input parameters, the geometry of the rotating and stationary domains, the geometry and type and number of gratings, the geometric accuracy of the propeller model, mass flow rate, rotational angular velocity, and stationary angular velocity - all had a significant impact on the parameters. Brass alloy and cast alloy raw material hardness values were measured on the surface of the propeller casting product. While 128 HV was attained after casting, the average hardness value for solid cylinders manufactured of the raw metal alloy was 171.67 HV. The three test sessions' stress vs. strain graphs were produced using the Cu-Zn alloy metal's tensile test results. The cast Cu-Zn alloy has a maximum tensile strength of 352 MPa and a maximum yield stress of 330 MPa.

Abstract

This paper presents an experimental study of the addition of green clam shells powder (GCSP) to the biodegradable film properties of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). To get GCSP, the green clamp shell was immersed in a 50% NaOH solution for 2 hours, blended until the particle size passed 100 mesh, then heated at a temperature of 500 oC for 2 hours. The Biodegradable film characteristic was investigated by the addition of GCSP (2, 4, 8, and 10 %wt) in PVA suspension. PVA/GCSP biodegradable films were prepared by a casting solution method. The GCSP functional group's molecular chemical bond and structural analysis were tested using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). To obtain the mechanical properties of biodegradable films, a tensile test was carried out. The results of the FTIR and XRD test showed that the alkali treatment or/and the calcination process affected the GCSP grain structure. SEM micrographs showed that the grain structure of GCSP which was treated with alkali or/and the calcination process had a more uniform and homogeneous size. The addition of GCSP to PVA was able to increase the tensile strength of the biodegradable film. Overall, the optimal addition of GCSP was 10 wt.% which was calcination treated in a PVA matrix with tensile strength, elongation at break, and Young's modulus of 170 MPa, 18%, and 1184 MPa, respectively

Abstract

Currently, the dominance of electricity in Indonesian providers comes from fossil energy which has the potential to increase the average temperature in various parts of the world or is called global warming. The contribution of the national renewable energy potential mix in 2016 ranging from 6.27%, then reaching 11.28% in 2020. The Government has made a long-term plan for the national renewable energy mix to reach 25% in 2025 and 31% in 2050. One of the renewable energy sources is wind energy, which is usually built on a large scale and is separated from settlements so that a long distribution network is required. Conversely, on a small scale, wind energy can be utilized with a simpler distribution network, this concept is called Small Wind Turbine. For a good wind turbine is designed according to the wind characteristics in real-time, so it is necessary to study wind mapping. This research was conducted as a prelude to observing wind characteristics in the form of mapping wind speed and direction in real-time in the northern part of Balikpapan City Region, using the Automatic Weather Station instrument which was carried out August 6 to September 26, 2022. Data processing in this study using the Weibull distribution method with Microsoft Excel. This study shows an average speed of 1.118 m/s in wind conditions with high wind variability with strong gusts, with a power density value of 1.157 Watts/m2. The wind direction tends to be east after the wind gusts are blocked by the building profile.

Abstract

Conventional cooling systems on four-wheeled vehicles generally use a cooling fan driven by the crankshaft through pulleys and a belt (V-belt), causing the wastage of fuel in the vehicle. This study aims to design and implement fuzzy logic control on a prototype of an automatic cooling system for a diesel engine. The tool's design uses the experimental method, uses Arduino as a microcontroller that functions as a data processing center, with inputs of two temperature sensors and a DC motor as output to rotate the fan, and fuzzy logic control methods as an automatic control system. The research results show that this tool can operate automatically according to the engine temperature, so it is expected to produce greater effectiveness and efficiency. Measurements on each component have been carried out and show satisfactory results, testing on the temperature sensor shows a small error. Comprehensive testing of the tool shows good performance, including the PWM output to adjust the rotational speed of the fan motor so that the system can be used properly. This research will help create a prototype of an automatic cooling system for a diesel engine cooling system so that it can be developed to reveal better fuel efficiency in the future.

Abstract

The packaging station is one of the stations needed to produce the product. The workers in this station are still doing the process manually. The packaging station has several processes, namely the weighing process, the sewing process, and the moving process of the finished product by manually lofting the sack from the sewing machine to the pallet. The moving process has three activities holding, lifting, and moving. Workers who work manually often complain of pain felt while working, so they are at risk of experiencing musculoskeletal disorders. Accordingly, it is important to analyse the work posture to determine whether improvements must be made. The Rapid Entire Body Map (REBA) analyses the work position. Analysis of work posture is moving the product. The REBA method's posture assessment results are 8 for holding, 9 for lifting, and 10 for moving. From the results, it can be categorized as a high-risk level, and immediate improvements are needed. The improvements were made by designing a conveyor from the sewing machine to the pallet using the Anthropometric method with dimensions of 100cm, width of 65cm, and height of 113cm.
