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

Autonomous mobile robots are defined as robotic entities capable of independent movement and intelligent decision-making, relying on their ability to perceive and analyze their surroundings, including objects in their environment. In Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) systems, loop closure is often achieved through visual place recognition techniques, where the system compares the current visual input with previously observed scenes to identify matches. In computer vision applications, Speeded-Up Robust Features (SURF) and Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) are popular feature extraction algorithms used for such as key point detection, matching, and image registration tasks. The choice of inlier threshold should be based on the specific characteristics of the application and the nature of the images being processed. It often requires experimentation and tuning to find the optimal balance between robustness and accuracy. It Utilizes the pre-trained Local Feature Transformer (LoFTR) and MAGSAC++ estimator to address these drawbacks by employing the number of inliers to determine the similarity between two images for visual place recognition. Our experiment demonstrates that the number of inliers can determine the similarity of locations between two images. Scale variations and translation in location significantly influence the resulting number of inliers. Comparing images from the same location and from different locations yields varying numbers of inliers. The number of inliers significantly influences the similarity of locations. At the same location, the number of inliers is above 150, while at different locations, the number is below 150.

Abstract

Drying is a process of heat and mass transfer that occurs on the surface and within the material to be dried. It helps reduce the internal moisture of the material, inhibiting the growth, damage, and chemical changes of microorganisms during storage, thus extending the shelf life of dry materials and improving the quality of raw materials. This study aims to test multi-level drying equipment using combustion heat with a square shape and racks inside it used as the drying space for the material. The raw material was placed on racks made of perforated metal. This  research started from designing the drying equipment system, fabricating and testing system. The drying system was tested using fish and cocoa beans as sample materials. The tested equipment system included temperature distribution in the combustion chamber, distribution system of hot combustion gases through sharp turning technology, uniform temperature distribution in the drying chamber with 8 levels of racks, each capable of holding a load of 10 kg, and testing of the chimney system. The research findings concluded that to maintain a drying chamber temperature of 90⁰C, an average combustion chamber temperature of 339⁰C was required. The average combustion chamber temperature needed to maintain a drying chamber temperature of 80⁰C was 290⁰C. For a drying chamber temperature of 70⁰C, an average combustion chamber temperature of 314⁰C was required. The temperature distribution inside the drying chamber moves horizontally, indicating that the temperature distribution in the drying chamber was uniform for each drying rack.

Abstract

In the realm of renewable energy, researchers worldwide have been paying close attention to developing the Oscillating Wave Surge Converter (OWSC) device. This device has the potential to harness the power of ocean waves and convert it into a reliable source of clean energy. Hydrodynamic characteristics are essential parameters in developing OWSC devices. Therefore, this research conducted a hydrodynamic study on the OWSC device with variations in ocean wave periods, including T= 1.5, 1.7, 1.9, 2.1, and 2.3. The Boundary Element Method (BEM) describes the interaction between sea waves and floating body structures. This method assumes incompressible, inviscid, and irrotational flow. A numerical approach is used as a calculation method followed by verification and validation to support the level of actualization. The research results showed that the incident wave caused the OWSC device to experience a deviation from its equilibrium position in the form of an oscillating flap inclination angle as a form of hydrodynamic characteristics. The sea wave period correlatedwith the rate of change in flap position over time, including the maximum deviation in the flap angle. As a power plant, the performance of the OWSC device can work at reasonably short-wave period intervals based on the device's ability to produce mechanical power. The highest average mechanical power was achieved in the T= 1.5 period of 34.49 Watts with an efficiency of up to 52.43%. The OWSC device requires a high intensity of wave energy in a short duration to generate optimal mechanical power. It is important to note that optimal mechanical power generation is crucial for the OWSC device to function effectively. Therefore, the device should be placed in a location where the wave energy intensity is consistently high.

Abstract

Corrosion is a phenomenon of damage to metal that can be influenced by several factors, including environmental factors, namely pH, humidity, temperature, and impurity factors. Corrosion that occurs due to the flow of a fluid is known as erosion corrosion. One type of metal that is susceptible to corrosion is carbon steel. Carbon steel material is very commonly used in the industrial world. An application of carbon steel is in piping systems that transport fluids; thus, fluid flow velocity affects the corrosion resistance of carbon steel. This research aimed to determine the effect of seawater flow on the corrosion rate of low carbon steel (ST 37) with variations in seawater velocity. This research is a type of laboratory-scale experimental research using coupon rack corrosion test equipment. The variations in seawater velocity used are 0 L/min, 15 L/min, 20 L/min, and 25 L/min. Observations of each experiment were carried out every 6 and 12 hours. The corrosion rate was analyzed using the weight loss method, namely by calculating the initial and final weight of the specimen before and after the experiment. The results show that increasing seawater flow velocity also increases the corrosion rate on steel specimens, with the lowest corrosion rate at 10.262 mpy on specimens with a variation of 0 L/min, while the highest corrosion rate is 48.743 mpy on specimens with a variation of 25 L/min. It can be concluded that the velocity of the fluid flow and the type of particles contained in the flow affect the rate of erosion-corrosion. The higher the fluid flow velocity and the more abrasive the particles contained in the flow, the faster the rate of erosion-corrosion.

Abstract

In the rotary friction welding process, the selection of process parameters affects the friction, heat generation, and joint formation. These factors collectively cause microstructural changes that determine the mechanical properties of the joint. Therefore, the process parameters, microstructure, and mechanical properties were interconnected during rotary friction welding. This study examined the influence of process parameters on their correlation with microstructure and mechanical properties in the rotary friction welding of 304 SS. A 3×4 full factorial experimental design was used to evaluate the effects of the process parameters on the microstructure and strength of 304 SS joints produced through rotary friction welding. An accurate evaluation of joint strength was performed using the notch tensile test technique. The joint with the highest strength was achieved by applying a combination of friction pressure and friction time at 55 bars and 3 seconds, respectively, resulting in a welding efficiency of 103.6%. A very low friction time (i.e., 5 s) produced a weak joint, which should be avoided. The welding process created three distinct structural zones in the joint: a joint structure finer than the parent metal structure, a partially deformed structure, and a heat-affected zone with deformation. Hardness tests of the joints showed a high hardness in the deformed structure. The formed structure contributes to the resulting joint strength.

Abstract

Biodiesel is an alternative fuel in the form of Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) which can be renewed using vegetable oils and animal oils through esterification or transesterification processes. This study used waste cooking oil as a raw material for biodiesel with a CaO catalyst from the shells of field snails (Pila ampullacea) which were calcined for 4 hours at a temperature of 700°C. This experiment aim to study of the effect of temperature (55°C, 60°C, 65°C) and catalyst weight (4%, 6%, 8%), for 2 hours the transesterification process and the molar ratio of oil to methanol was 1:9. Crude Biodiesel from the transesterification process washed using dry washing method with activated coconut shell charcoal which has been activated using 1M H3PO4. Based on this research, the optimum yields about 91,5%-volume, were obtained in A2T2 with temperature 60°C and a catalyst weight of 6% with a biodiesel yield of 91.5%. The characteristics of the biodiesel produced were kinematic viscosity 3.32 cSt, density 863 Kg/m3, acid number 0.543%, iodine number 14.3%-mass, methyl ester content 169.12% and cetane number 43.28%-mass.

Abstract

Stainless steel is widely used in various fields, one of which is AISI 321, which is used for high-temperature applications because of its high resistance to creep and intergranular corrosion. The type of filler metal and heat input on stainless steel welds play an essential role in determining the microstructure and mechanical properties of the welded joints. The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate the microstructure and mechanical properties of AISI 321 stainless steel welds with variations in heat input. This study is expected to explore the performance of this weld joint, which can be anticipated in relevant fields. The welding method used in this experiment was Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) with ER 347 as filler metal. Welding was carried out on three samples with a heat input of 0.92 kJ/mm, 0.64 kJ/mm, and 0.52 kJ/mm, respectively. The tests included tensile strength, Vickers microhardness, and microstructure observations. The tensile test results showed that a fracture occurred in the Base Metal (BM) area, indicating that the strength of the weld joint was higher than that in the BM. The Vickers microhardness test results showed that the Weld Metal's hardness (WM) was the highest, followed by the Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ) and BM. The welding experiment that used three variations in heat input demonstrated that higher heat input lowered the hardness of the weld joint. The microstructure observation results around the fusion line demonstrated the presence of step and ditch structures. The ditch structure indicates intergranular corrosion.

Abstract

In the shift from fossil fuel-based energy, the imperative of tapping into water resources as a renewable energy reservoir is underscored. This study delves into the potential of low-head water for small-scale power generation, specifically focusing on the Archimedes turbine designed for operation in such conditions. The primary objective is meticulously examining pressure characteristics at varying heads (0.7 m, 0.8 m, 0.9 m, and 1 m) using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). These parameters play a crucial role in defining the turbine's performance landscape. Data analysis reveals a notable reduction in the Archimedes turbine's efficiency as the head diminishes. Interestingly, the double-screw Archimedes turbine demonstrates optimal performance at higher flow rates, particularly at a volumetric flow rate of 0.025 m3/s. Despite the peak performance at a 1-meter head, discernible pressure patterns suggest sufficient kinetic energy within lower head flows (down to 0.7 meters) to facilitate turbine rotation. This study contributes to a more rigorous understanding of the Archimedes turbine's performance under varied head conditions, emphasizing the potential for practical power generation at lower head levels.

Abstract

Previous research has discussed tea drying machines with energy sources from PLN. Tea drying machines with refrigerant systems require large electrical energy costs. The electrical energy produced by a tea drying machine is proportional to its performance and cost. This research designed a 400 WP solar cell (PLTS) as a power supply for drying tea leaves. PLTS was combined with a PLN electricity source. Hybrid energy from PLTS and PLN was designed to maximize the use of electrical energy used by drying tea leaves. PLC and SCADA were used to monitor input current, output voltage, and output power. PLC and SCADA can optimize load requirements. When the solar radiation received by the solar panels was not optimal, PLN was able to back up load requirements. The average voltage produced by hybrid energy was 232.4 V. Hybrid energy was able to save power usage of 108.92 W or 12.8% of the load power requirements

Abstract

The increasing dem and for energy and the depletion of fossil fuel shas led to the exploration of alternative fuels like biodiesel, which require sref inement tomatch diesel oil properties. This study investigates the combination of nyamplung oil, a non-edible potential source, with waste cooking oil for biodiesel production, aiming to improve its physical properties. Through a method ological approachin volving degumming, esterification, and transesterification, biodiesel was produce dfrom these oils in 11 different blend compositions. The physical properties of these blends, including density, viscosity, flashpoint, and calorific value, were rigorously tested. Results indicate that incorporating waste cooking oil into nyamplung biodiesel significantly reduces viscosity, density, and flashpoint while increasing the calorific value. Specifically, the addition of waste cooking oil altered the density from 912.74 kg/m³ in pure nyamplung biodiesel to 857.27 kg/m³, decreased the viscosity from 28.02 cStto 4.58 cSt, reduced the flash point from 223°C to 197°C, and increased the heating value from 7,626.59 cal/g to 8,348.94 cal/g.
