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

To ensure the quality of welded joints in the hull area, welding testing is very important and must be carried out. But unfortunately, currently the quality testing process of welded joints was still limited to penetrant tests and lime tests. The purpose of this study was to obtain a portable welding testing machine that was able to obtain fairly accurate test results on hull welding defects using a vacuum system. The research method is experimental by involving data collection through field experiments, testing is carried out with the resulting weld defect research subjects and the length of testing time on 1G and 3G position welding. The results of the study by compared tests among Welded Vacuum Testing (WVT) machines, Magnetic Particle tests (MP), and Penetrant Tests (PT). The three experiments detected leaking weld defects, spark sparks, pinholes, overlaps, and undercuts. For test results with machines made, welding defects that were successfully detected were leaks in the 1G position welding workpiece and undercut in the 3G position welding workpiece. Air bubbles at a vacuum pressure of 0.2 bar are detected, meaning that there is a defect in the welded joint. This tool can be used in bilge testing.

Abstract

Vegetable oil, obtained from plants such as coconut or Jatropha curcas, serves as a valuable renewable energy source. Nonetheless, it presents certain limitations in comparison to diesel fuels, namely, low volatility and high viscosity. One straightforward approach to overcome these limitations is the addition of high-volatility oil and low-viscosity oil. In this study, we incorporated 10% clove oil into coconut oil and Jatropha curcas oil. Fuel properties, including density, viscosity, flash point, and heating value, were measured in accordance with international standards. Additionally, Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) testing was performed to detect decomposition during the heating process. The findings indicated that the addition of clove oil increases density (from 0.922 g/ml to 0.934 g/ml), while other properties decrease, such as viscosity (from 30.12 cst to 27.7 cst), flash point (from 286°C to 182°C), and heating value (from 37.1 MJ/kg to 35.8 MJ/kg). TGA demonstrated that the inclusion of clove oil resulted in increased decomposition within the temperature range of 200°C–400°C, suggesting that clove oil falls into the category of medium-volatile oils. Although the addition of clove oil were able to modify the fuel properties of vegetable oil, it did not align with the characteristics of conventional diesel fuel and necessitates further modification for practical implementation

Abstract

The manufacturing sector is constantly seeking ways to optimize the machining process, specifically for 3-axis CNC machines. This study aims to identify the optimal parameter values that result in the lowest roughness and the highest process capability in 3-axis CNC milling. The roughness level (Ra) of the product is primarily influenced by factors such as feed rate, spindle speed, and depth of cut. Additionally, the reliability of the machining process was analyzed to evaluate its ability to consistently achieve low roughness values and to validate the process capability of the VH850L3 series 3-axis CNC milling machine. The suggested approach for this analysis was the RSM central composite design method, which involved conducting experiments under various input conditions. The results indicated that the feed rate had the most significant impact on roughness, followed by the spindle speed, while the depth of cut had no effect. The parameters that resulted in the lowest roughness response were a spindle speed of 2589.76 rpm, a depth of cut of 0.159 mm, and a feed rate of 247.731 mm/min. These parameter values were tested on a 3-axis CNC machine, and the resulting data exhibited variations. Data processing revealed that the machine still performed optimally in the machining process, as indicated by the value of . However, the milling process deviates from the standard target, as the response value shows significant variation with a Cpk value 1.

Abstract

Three-phase Self-Excited Induction Generators (SEIGs) are commonly employed for electricity generation in remote or isolated areas. SEIGs are preferred in such regions due to their ability to create a magnetic field by adding a capacitor to one of their terminals. Nevertheless, a significant challenge in utilizing SEIGs is maintaining a consistent output voltage in the presence of load fluctuations. This study aims to investigate the impact of generator rotation on the SEIG's output voltage and determine the optimal rotation speed required for achieving a stable output voltage. Ensuring stable voltage regulation is crucial to guarantee the proper functioning of all loads connected to the SEIG. Furthermore, operating the SEIG in parallel with other generators is advantageous. The methodology employed in this study involves varying the load supplied by the SEIG at different capacitor values. Unwanted voltage variations occur due to load fluctuations within a generating system or SEIG. Adjustments to the generator's rotation speed are made to uphold a uniform voltage level. The variables considered in this study include the generator's rotation speed, capacitor size, and load fluctuations. Simulation results demonstrate that the SEIG's output voltage is affected by the generator's rotation speed, and maintaining a consistent voltage necessitates appropriate adjustments to capacitor values and generator speed. This research enhances understanding of SEIG characteristics and offers guidance on effective settings for maintaining a stable output voltage at various generator rotation speeds. Future research can focus on practically implementing these findings to enhance the performance of SEIGs in real-world applications

Abstract

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) has today emerged as a significant and efficient Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) has today emerged as a significant and efficient technique for installing pipelines for a variety of purposes, including the production of oil, natural gas, water, sewer, electrical, and telecommunications. Due to the complexity of the technology and the intricate interplay of numerous processes, the safety risks associated with process uncertainty are substantial. However, risk analysis for HDD projects is generally done using qualitative methods. One of the most common factors used for HDD risk assessment is Pipe Stress Analysis (PSA). In this article, a combination of material evaluation and PSA for HDD safety design is suggested to improve the risk analysis. The evaluation will commence with an assessment of the material, followed by an examination of the wall thickness. Subsequently, an analysis of HDD design and pipe stress will be conducted. Using 10-inch API 5L Gr. B pipe, the safety design was successfully tested for a gas pipe project. When using HDD, a natural bend value of no less than 415.3 meters must have a horizontal length of 168 meters. According to the curvature, the length of the entire pipe is 169.03 meters. The combined installation stress was less than 1, while the combined operation stress was 114.87 MPa. These two values met the criteria specified in the standard. Overall, those steps were able to ensure that the HDD installation design is safe for construction.

Abstract

Nowadays, the demand for workers in the agriculture industry has decreased and there is a need for rising mechanization in the agriculture process. The agriculture process that requires mechanization is cultivating. The rice cultivator has to be as light as possible, so requires a lighter material but is also strong enough. The correlation between the rice transplanter tool and the wheels is closely related to soil conditions. The selection of wheel materials is considered based on the characteristics of the planting area. In addition, another influence variable is the angle of the fin in the rice transplanter wheel. Material of rice transplanter wheel has been established, these are 1023 carbon steel sheet, AISI 1020 steel cold rolled, AISI 316 stainless steel. The angle of the fin was varied, these are 30, 35, and 40, this fin will give an effect on the traction result of rice transplanter wheel movement. The combination of lightweight material and the appropriate fin angle of the rice transplanter wheel has the best traction result. As a result of this research, the suitable material for the rice transplanter wheel was carbon steel and the fin’s angle was 30. This research involved a comparison and analysis of material strength under various fin angles. The evaluation of stress criteria was conducted using design values to determine the most reliable final product design. The paper contributes by illustrating how to represent the final decision on the combination of design and materials, incorporating a cost index assessment.

Abstract

Nodular cast iron possesses a spherical graphite shape and exhibits mechanical properties closely resembling those of steel after heat treatment. The austempering method provides a means of enhancing the mechanical properties of nodular cast iron. This study aimed to investigate the optimal parameter combinations for Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI). The experiments involved varying the austenitization temperature and austempering time. Multiple tests were conducted to analyze the effects of austenitization temperature and tempering time on the microstructure, hardness, and impact toughness. The experimental samples were obtained from Y-block nodular cast iron austenitized at 850, 900, and 950°C for 90 min in an electric furnace. Subsequently, they were quenched in a salt bath at a temperature of 350°C and held for 60, 90, and 120 minutes before being cooled to room temperature. Mechanical tests and microstructure observations were performed on both the as-cast sample and after austempering. The microstructure was observed using an optical microscope before and after the etching. The research findings indicated that austempering increases the hardness and impact toughness of nodular cast iron. The highest hardness (46.8 HRC) was achieved from a parameter combination of an austenitization temperature of 850°C and an austempering time of 90 minutes. This particular sample also exhibited a relatively higher impact energy (3.8 J) compared to the others. The results of this study suggest that the austenitization temperature and tempering time exert an influence on the mechanical properties.

Abstract

The number of coffee shops in Indonesia has grown from 1,083 stalls in 2016 to over 2,937 booths in 2019, representing a threefold growth. Coffee shop establishments must provide two essential kinds of equipment: espresso machines, which use pressure, and filter machines, which employ infusion. The issue lies in the exorbitant cost and immense power requirements of semi-automatic and automated espresso machines, which necessitate the use of a manual espresso machine for commercial operations. The equipment can generate satisfactory espresso but encounters several challenges; specifically, the espresso generated is characterized by inconsistency, constantly varying in quality. This might arise due to the erratic nature of the manufacturing process. The two objectives of this study are: (1) to design an economically efficient semi-automatic espresso machine capable of producing products that meet the international quality standards set by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA standard) and (2) to investigate the impact of critical factors such as pressure, temperature, and grind size, on the consistent quality of the resulting coffee (measured by Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and extraction yield (EXT)). The research employs the Research and Development (RD) methodology. The research findings indicate that the optimal levels of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) and extraction yield (EXT) may be attained by using a pressure setting of 8 bars, a temperature of 90ºC, and a grind size of 3.2 on the scale. The technique for optimizing the response resulted in Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) levels of 10.03% and extraction yield (EXT) values of 19.56%. The results have been deemed acceptable based on the criteria set by the global standards of Specialty Coffee Association (SCA).

Abstract

The Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) method operates by passing air through an adsorbent to produce concentrated oxygen gas. Zeolites are commonly utilized as adsorbents due to their ability to adsorb nitrogen from the surrounding air. Two types of zeolites commonly employed are natural and synthetic zeolites. While the utilization of natural zeolites as adsorbents in oxygen purification remains limited, their potential as an alternative adsorbent is worth exploring in this field. This study focused on developing physically activated Klaten natural zeolite as an adsorbent to enhance oxygen purity. Physical activation involved heating for 1.5 hours using an electric oven at four temperature variations (250ºC, 300ºC, 350ºC, and 400ºC). Additionally, four distinct flow rates were tested: 0.1; 0.5; 1.0; and 1.5 lpm. Oxygen purification testing revealed that higher activation temperatures led to greater increases in oxygen concentration. The highest increase of 2.45% was achieved at an activation temperature of 400ºC, while the lowest increase of 1.75% was observed at 250ºC with a flow rate of 0.1 lpm. With a 10-minute holding period, oxygen content during the adsorption process ranged from 1.35% to 2.45%, compared to 0.60%-0.75% without holding. Physical activation of zeolite from Klaten enhanced its nitrogen absorption capacity, indicating the potential of natural zeolite from Klaten for oxygen purification through optimized activation processes, possibly via chemical activation
