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 pack carburizing method is a technique that can be employed to enhance the surface hardness of Low-Carbon Steel (LCS). This method can potentially improve the hardness of the material while maintaining its strength. This study aims to investigate how different carburizing media, specifically varying percentages of Buffalo Bone Charcoal (BBC) powder as a carbon source, impact the mechanical properties of LCS. The temperature in the carburizing process ranges from 850°C and 950°C while maintaining a holding time of 2 hours. The carbon derived from buffalo bone charcoal is finely ground and mixed with barium carbonate (BaCO3) as the energizer during this process. This study used different ratios of BBC powder and BaCO3 as carburizing mediums. The ratios tested were 60% BBC + 40% BaCO3, 70% BBC + 30% BaCO3, and 80% BBC + 20% BaCO3, based on the weight of the BBC powder used in the carburizing process. The steel will be combined with BaCO3 and powdered BBC for this research. Next, the fatigue test was examined. BBC in the pack carburizing process increases LCS carbon content by 0.735% from 0.268%. This change alters the steel's microstructure, possibly increasing its hardness and wear resistance. The direct link between BBC concentration and LCS carbon enrichment shows the process's efficiency. Pack carburizing also improves LCS fatigue strength. This improvement is due to higher BBC concentration, smaller carburizing medium particles, and higher processing temperatures. After carburizing, the LCS can resist 36,625 to 61,435 cycles.

Abstract

This research focuses on improving hydropower production by designing a turbine for the MaliringanRiver in Kalimantan Selatan. The rotational speed and torque will be the focus of maximizing power generation. This research used Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to understand how the fluid flows and how efficiently the turbine works. The simulations helped us see how the fluid flowed, the pressure differences, and the speed of the water inside the turbine. The software COMSOL Multiphysics imitates how the fluid behaves and interacts in real-life situations. The utilization of SOLIDWORKS played a crucial role in the turbine's design process, facilitating an accurate representation of the turbine's geometry and the subsequent fabrication of a prototype propeller turbine, featuring an outer diameter measuring 0.27 meters and an inner diameter measuring 0.113 meters. The methodology resulted in a power efficiency of 76.45%, showcasing the possibility of significant enhancements in the efficiency of hydropower generation. The broader ramifications of this study emphasize the feasibility of tailor-made turbines for local hydropower initiatives, thereby supporting Indonesia's renewable energy plan by providing sustainable and efficient energy alternatives. This study emphasizes the collaborative utilization of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and CFD technologies in the progression of turbine technology, thereby establishing a basis for future investigations in hydropower optimization.

Abstract

The injection molding process is a manufacturing process that can produce products in a short time in large quantities, in the injection molding process the factor of setting process parameters plays a significant role in product quality, so it requires special treatment. The purpose of this study is to find the optimal parameters in the injection moulding process of yogurth container lid with polypropylene material, so that the process can reduce the incidence of flashing defects that result in the emergence of initial waste in the industrial environment. The method used in this research is to create a Response Surface Methodology Box-Behnken Design (RSM - BBD) optimization model and an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model approach in analyzing optimal parameters and predicting the appearance of flashing defects in a designed cycle. The results obtained from this research are the optimal parameters from the RSM and ANN model recommendations, namely the clamping force setting of 70 tons, holding time 0.1 seconds, and holding pressure. The ANN model provides the highest level of prediction accuracy with an R2 value of 100% and a prediction error rate of 7.9689E-09. In comparison, the RSM model obtains a prediction accuracy level with an R2 of 71% with an error rate of 0.24315.

Abstract

In the turning process, the machining parameters have a significant impact on the product quality. Consumers frequently request that certain industries adhere to product quality standards, especially regarding surface texture. Numerous product failures have resulted in dissatisfaction among the company's clientele because many lathe operators are fixated solely on product size drawings and are unaware of factors that can impact the surface roughness value. This investigation was conducted to ascertain how machining parameters affect surface irregularity. Variations in feed rates of 47.5 mm/min and 345.6 mm/min, cutting angles of 60° and 80°, and depths of cut of 1 mm and 3 mm were utilized to conduct the investigation on aluminum alloy 6061 specimens. The results of turning were evaluated for surface roughness using a surface roughness analyzer and a macro test to determine the structure of the surface roughness. Using the Minitab 2019 application, the obtained data was then analyzed to determine the influence of each trimming parameter working individually or simultaneously. Using the method of geometric factorial analysis, integrate the research parameters. The results indicated that the surface roughness increased as the feed rate increased; the lowest surface roughness was achieved with a depth of cut of 1 mm, a feeding rate of 47.5 mm/min, and a cut angle of 80°. In this study, the surface roughness value decreased as the cutting angle increased at lower levels of feeding rate, while the surface roughness value increased at higher levels of feeding rate.

Abstract

Developing fiberboard from agro-industrial and natural waste has a significant impact on environmental practices. Fiberboards made from corncobs and coconut fiber have become a desirable by-product that can serve as a wood substitute. This research aims to analyze the physical and mechanical properties of fiberboard composites created from coconut husks and corn cobs, using natural adhesives like tapioca glue and citric acid. Corn cob particles and coconut fruit fibers were weighed in a 1:1 ratio. Tapioca glue or citric acid was then added in varying percentages: 10%, 14%, 18%, 22%, and 26% of the total mixture. This blend was poured into molds, spread evenly with a spatula, and pressed under 30 kg/cm² (426.7 psi). Subsequently, the samples were carefully removed for physical and mechanical testing. The findings of the study indicated that the different mass variations of corncobs and coconut fibers mixed with natural adhesives successfully produced fiber composites that met the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) A 5095:2003 for the "hardboard" classification. The most effective composition was found in sample A5, which contained 26% tapioca glue. Tapioca glue proved to be the superior natural adhesive, surpassing citric acid. Tests conducted on fiberboard A5 revealed the highest density at 0.90 gr/cm³, the lowest porosity at 7.35%, optimal impact strength at 119.99 J/m², tensile strength of 730.50 MPa, and flexural strength of 109.34 MPa. Therefore, this fiberboard demonstrated favorable physical and mechanical properties.

Abstract

Venturi-type generators are recognized as one of the most promising microbubble generators with potential in various fields. However, there is still room for further optimization of their performance to meet the requirements of real applications, such as aeration systems or water treatment applications. This research modified the geometry of a venturi-type generator with specific dimensions:  a length of 80 mm, an inside diameter of 26 mm, a throat diameter of 7.2 mm, a convergent nozzle angle of 30°, a divergent diffuser angle of 30°, and an airflow inlet diameter of 6 mm. By varying the water flow rates (i.e., 22 L/min, 26 L/min, and 30 L/min) and air flow rates (i.e., 0.1 L/min, 0.2 L/min, and 0.3 L/min), the study observed the average diameter, size distribution, Standard Oxygen Transfer Rate (SOTR), and Standard Aeration Efficiency (SAE) of the generated microbubbles. This study aims to improve the performance of a microbubble generator, particularly by optimizing the relative size, distribution, and main parameters for real applications. The proposed modification and optimization successfully produced microbubbles with an average diameter of 180-450 μm. Furthermore, the optimal combinations of water and air flow rates (i.e., 30 L/min of water and 0.1 L/min of air) produced approximately 60% of microbubbles with a diameter of no more than 200 μm. These combinations also enable the delivery of a SOTR and SAE values of 0.94 kgO2/h and 1.73 kgO2/kWh, respectively.

Abstract

3D printing, also known as additive layer manufacturing, is a technique that creates three-dimensional objects or any shape from a digital model. It works by building objects layer-by-layer, similar to how a laser printer operates. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a widely used technique in 3D printing because it is easy to use, cost-effective in production, and environmentally friendly. This study focuses on a self-made filament made of a PLA-titanium mixture. PLA is a biodegradable thermoplastic polymer sourced from plants, whereas titanium is a strong, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant metal. To measure the hardness of different materials, there are several methods available. In this study, the Shore D hardness test, specifically designed for polymer materials, was used. Data were collected using the Taguchi method, specifically L4 (23), and the data were analysedusingAnalysis of Variance (ANOVA). The variations in print parameters examined in this study include nozzle temperature (230°C and 240°C), layer height (0.2 mm and 0.3 mm), and print speed (30 mm/s and 40 mm/s). The aim of this study was to determine whether there were any changes in the hardness of the specimens. The ANOVA results revealed that the most influential parameter was print speed, with a contribution value of 56.01%. The results demonstrated that the printing parameters affected the hardness of the printed specimens. The highest hardness level of 56.3 Shore D was obtained with a nozzle temperature of 240°C, a layer height of 0.3 mm, and a print speed of 30 mm/s. The application of this study was demonstrated through the creation of dentures made from PLA-titanium.

Abstract

The climate in tropical countries is very humid and hot, so it requires cooling and regulating air humidity. Heat release from the heat side using a heat sink, such as the conventional Peltier method, does not function optimally due to the limited area of thermal resistance obtained. To increase the thermal resistance in heat release, a heat pipe is used as a passive heat exchange device so that it can maximize heat transfer from the hot side of the Peltier to the surrounding air. This research aims to determine the rate of heat transfer, whether it can be conditioned by the relative humidity (RH) in the room, and whether installing a temperature and RH control system can work to cool the room. Experimental methods were used in this research. This research results show that TEC Cooler can transfer heat to a maximum. TEC can transfer heat at 22.7 J/s per second with 3 running fans. With a power consumption of 136.1 W. The total energy released is 114.7 J/s; this energy is still considered suitable for use in cooling a room.

Abstract

Offshore cranes are transport machines which are  used to lift a heavy load to other places. The weight and strength of a crane are crucial parameters that must be considered during the design stage. There are many ways to optimize these aspects, such as suitable material selection and virtual simulation assistance using ANSYS software. The main goal of this study is to design and develop a structurally stable crane on the ship deck. This crane is modeled using CATIA software and analyzed using ANSYS software to obtain stress and displacement distribution on the crane structure. Maximum load is applied for four different elevation angles, namely (30°, 43°, 60°, and 80°). From the static structural simulation, the highest stress is obtained when the elevation angle of 30° is about 1030 MPa and deformation is 461.24 mm. The minimum fatigue life of the offshore crane at a luffing angle of 43° is 659.14 cycles.
