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 phenomenon of flow separation plays a vital role in the industrial world. The backward-facing step (BFS) is a general form representing flow separation. This study investigates the influence of the slope angle of the step on BFS flow characteristics at various low Reynolds numbers. According to the CFD results, the flow separation phenomenon forms a circulation zone for each increase in Reynolds numbers. This phenomenon is a result of the sudden expansion of the channel geometry. The BFS with the slope angle of the step demonstrates that the increase in the recirculation zone can be minimized, thus appropriately delaying flow separation. The recirculation zone causes fluid flow to reverse direction, affecting fluid flow efficiency due to resulting pressure differences. Therefore, a BFS with the slope angle of the step exhibits a more efficient flow phenomenon by minimizing the recirculation zone.

Abstract

Thin copper foils are commonly used in arts, crafts, and manufacturing industries. Although copper electroplating processes have been widely studied, most focused on either copper in bulk material form factor or copper in extremely thin film shape. Thin copper foils are considered neither bulk material nor thin film; thus, it is estimated that they will have unique properties. This study aims to investigate the mechanical properties of thin copper foils coated by electroplating processes. The investigations were conducted experimentally by performing electroplating at current densities of 2, 3, and 4 A/dm2. The copper foil specimen having a dimension of 10 mm wide, 0.2 mm thick, and 125 mm long were electroplated in a bath of copper sulfate, sulfate acid, chloride acid, and copper brightener mixtures for 60 minutes powered by a 30 A DC power supply. The hardness and tensile test diagrams were studied. The strain, yield stress, and ultimate tensile stress data extracted from the tensile test diagram were compared with other previous studies found in the literature and fitted with linear regression lines. The relationship of those parameters with current density has been successfully obtained. The hardness, strain, and yield stress of the electroplated copper foil increased with larger current densities used in the electroplating process except for the ultimate tensile stress, which was found to be slightly decreased with current densities. The optimum operating condition for obtaining the best results was found at a current density of 3 A/dm2.

Abstract

For numerous decades, diesel fuel has served as the primary source of energy for diesel engines. For optimal performance, these engines are designed to withstand a high flammability threshold. Diesel fuel is therefore the preferable option for refueling military combat vehicles, particularly battle tanks. Concerns have been expressed regarding the use of diesel fuel due to its potential contribution to environmental pollution; emissions from combustion include NO2, NO, CO, SO2, and particulate matter. To reduce these emissions, diesel fuel must be blended with another substance. To reduce emissions, ethanol incorporation is a potential solution. A previous study demonstrated that combining fuels with high and low boiling points can enhance performance. Mixing ethanol, which has a low boiling point, with biodiesel/diesel fuel and fuel with a high boiling point can produce a superior fuel. Analyzing the characteristics of the fuels produced by merging ethanol with diesel fuel and biodiesel is crucial. This analysis aids in the comprehension of the fuel's physical properties prior to its use in a diesel engine. In this investigation, Indonesian diesel fuel and biodiesel standards are blended with ethanol at 10%, 25%, and 35% (volume) blending ratios. In addition to utilizing FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) for analysis, the objective of this study is to determine the combustion properties of a blend of biodiesel, diesel fuel, and ethanol. Using the American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) D method, fuel properties such as density, viscosity, cetane index, and distillations are analyzed. The results indicate that increasing the proportion of ethanol in diesel fuel and biodiesel reduces viscosity and density. By integrating ethanol, which has a lower density and viscosity than diesel fuel and biodiesel alone, the fuel properties can be improved. A perfect blend of ethanol, diesel fuel, and biodiesel can increase the quality of fuel, thereby enhancing diesel engine combustion.

Abstract

Wind is one of the energy sources developed as new and renewable energy in Aceh Province because of the sufficient wind potential available. In its utilization, wind speed is one of the important and main variables in calculating the amount of energy obtained. This energy will later be combined with energy sources from PLN which have been using fossil fuels. Wind potential in Banda Aceh and its surroundings is very possible to be converted into electrical energy because the average wind speed in Banda Aceh and its surroundings ranges from 4-6 m/s and can blow for approximately 4 to 6 hours per day. The results of the study of the potential of wind energy as a power plant in the Saree area (Aceh Besar District), then obtained an average wind speed in 2017 of 4.2 m/s by generating electrical power of 312 Watt/m2. In 2018 it was 4.6 m/s with an electric power of 341 Watt/m2. While in 2019 it was 5 m/s by generating an electric power of 368 Watt/m2 and the comparison in two other areas, namely Gampong Jawa and Gampong Deah Glumpang Banda Aceh, was obtained by Gampong Jawa with a wind speed of 4.35 m/s by producing 324 Watts/m2 and in Deah Glumpang Village with a wind speed of 3.95 m/s with a power output of 296 Watt/m2

Abstract

The development of environmentally friendly composites from natural fibers is an absolute thing to do to replace non-degradable synthetic composites. Some of the weaknesses of natural fiber composites are low mechanical strength, ease of cracking, no moisture resistance, and high-temperature resistance. One of the things that has been done is to make a combination of synthetic materials as a matrix derived from unsaturated polyester reinforced with natural fibers from crushed rice husk particles and starch from sago flour which is used to reduce the percentage of synthetic materials to be able to form composites that are easily decomposed. From the research, it was found that the strength of crack resistance could be increased with a mixture of polyester reinforced with rice husk fiber and sago flour, obtaining an increase in crack resistance strength until the addition of rice husk with a percentage of 15%. While increasing the RH content above 15%, the crack strength value decreases due to the saturation of the RH molecules in the UP which is no longer bound to the UP molecules. The highest crack strength values occurred for the addition of the percentage of RH and SS to the UP material with the addition of 5% SS, which obtained a cracking force of 550 N while the strength of pure polyester was only 37 N. This shows that RH and SS materials can bond with UP molecules and some molecules of RH and SS can prevent cross-linking of polyester molecules. Meanwhile, the addition of SS up to 10% decreases the fracture force obtained, indicating that not all of the sago starch can bind to the polyester molecules.
