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

A temperature control system is required in any situationthat requires a certain temperature to remain stable.Likewise, in the electrical processtank heater that requires a control system, because the temperature is notby the set value will cause overheating it,causing the product temperature is not as desired and can even causea dangerous explosion. In this project, the design is carried outtemperature control on the prototype electrical tank heater usingPLC Nano V5.2 as the controller, and the control method used is fuzzy Sugeno.Fuzzy logic has a value of obscurity and obscuritybetween right and wrong and control systems. Membership value may varyfrom 0 to 1. This means a situation can have two values, “yes or no” and "right or wrong", so it seems as if there is a "gray" area. Fuzzy Sugenois a fuzzy inference method for the conditions represented inthe form of IF–THEN, where the system output is not a fuzzy set but a constant form. Test results on the prototype confirm that the systemcontrol with PLC as controller and fuzzy as control methodhas a good ability to adapt the time needed totake longer to reach a stable state at higher temperatures (33.5°C to 37°C).Then at lower temperatures (29°C to 33.5°C). Haiwell-capable interfaceschange set values, display real-time graphs, and send commands toset PWM.

Abstract

Patients with joint injuries or after joint surgery are expected to perform the passive and continuous movement to avoid joint stiffness. This passive and continuous movement can be done with the help of a continuous passive motion machine (CPM machine). CPM machine is a therapeutic tool used to rehabilitate patients with joint injuries or post-joint surgery. In this study, a simulation test of therapeutic equipment for the ankle joint that can be moved rotationally will be carried out. The method that will be used in this research is the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method to analyze and simulate the strength of the elements used in the design model. The results to be sought in this study are the results of the stress and yield strength of the tool, so that the safety of the tool design will be known. The simulation results using carbon iron get a maximum stress of 3.012x105 N/m2 and yield strength of 2.20594x108.  Based on the results obtained in this study, it can be concluded that the CPM machine design is safe and strong to be realized

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

A computational simulation was created to investigate pollutants during coal combustion in a Drop Tube Furnace using Kalimantan coal. Previous research has explored Drop Tube Furnace combustion with Kalimantan coal, but lacked an understanding of combustion phenomena and pollutants, which are challenging to observe experimentally. This study utilized three samples of Kalimantan coal, namely RP, MB, and KC, acquired from various mining sources. This research is new study of simulation combustion coal in Drop Tube Furnace using non-premixed turbulent combustion and the Probability Density Function model with structured grid. The study reports on the temperatures and mass fractions of pollutants, including NOX, SO2, and CO2, along the centerline of the domain. The findings show that RP coal produced the highest combustion temperature, while KC coal produced the lowest. MB coal had the highest CO2 mass fraction, KC coal had the highest NOx value, and RP coal had the highest SO2 value.

Abstract

3D printing has advantages in making customized products, such as leg prosthetics. One of the required properties of 3D-printed leg prosthetics is their resistance to bending stress. Based on the literature review, the influence of the interaction among layer height, infill density, and shell thickness on the bending strength and printing time has not yet been investigated or optimized. This study aims to investigate the effect and optimize the layer height, infill density, and shell thickness to achieve the maximum bending strength and minimum printing time of a Polylactic Acid 3D printed part. This research studies three independent variables: layer height, infill density, and shell thickness. The independent variables of this research are bending strength and printing time. The bending test is conducted according to the ISO 178 standard. The printed specimen is tested using the bending testing machine Tarno Grocki to measure the maximum bending load the specimen can hold. The printing time is measured by using a stopwatch. The Response Surface Method is used as an optimization method to find the value of the maximum bending strength and minimum printing time of the 3D printed part. The optimum responses are achieved using 40 % infill density, 0.3 mm layer height, and 1.6 mm shell thickness. The maximum bending strength is 118. 5129 MPa and the minimum printing time is 11.1867 minutes.

Abstract

Pipelines are essential infrastructure for efficient oil and gas production operation, necessitating their continuous and reliable functionality in all locations and circumstances. Nevertheless, the pipeline can fail during operation due to multiple detrimental variables. This study evaluated the impact of the location classification category and pipe wall thickness on the risk level of onshore pipelines. The risk assessment method employed was a semiquantitative approach derived from the reference "Pipeline Risk Management Manual" by W. Kent Muhlbauer. The distributing crude oil pipeline, which spans a distance of 18 kilometers and has a diameter of 6 inches, was evaluated. The evaluation yielded a pipeline relative risk score of 0.91, classifying the pipeline as belonging to risk category 1B. Following this, the assessment findings were analyzed for all 36 pipeline segments, classifying 26 segments in the 1B category and the remaining 10 segments in the 2B category. From the analysis results, the difference between the two risk categories was produced by differences in location class categories, where the pipeline segment in location class 1 creates a 1B risk category; meanwhile, class 3 produces a 2B risk category. Furthermore, a pipeline with a wall thickness of 5.156 inches is associated with a risk score of 0.81, but a wall thickness of 4.1 inches yields a score of 1.41. These results indicate that the location class category and pipe wall thickness significantly impact the risk of onshore pipelines.

Abstract

Steel widely used as pipelines in oil and gas transmission was susceptible to corrosion attack. In the present study, the corrosion inhibitions of sodium molybdate (SM) and ethoxylated fatty amine (EFA) for corrosion of carbon steel (API 5L X-52 steel welded pipelines) at base metal (BM), weld metal (WM), and heat affected zone (HAZ) in 3.5% NaCl solution was studied experimentally using potential dynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results indicated that Tafel polarization investigations showed that the corrosion potentials shift to a positive direction in the BM, HAZ, and WM areas, and the corrosion rate density moves to the left. The decreased corrosion rate was related to form a passive film on the steel surface. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements show that two-time constants appear, the first in the mid-high frequency range related to the corrosion process between the metal surface and Mo ions. The second in the low-frequency range is related to the formation of the two metal layers, Oxide/hydroxide. Thus, the corrosion protection of steel has been confirmed. The most excellent inhibitor efficiency, when the concentration of the SM was 0.4%, and EFA was 400 ppm, occurred in BM, WM, and HAZ, respectively

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

Hydrogen is a promising candidate for the future of energy and global economic security owing to its cost-efficient clean and environmentally friendly nature. The utilisation of hydrogen is, however, not without obstacles. Technology maturity and the unattractive market are some of the challenges. Before hydrogen can be used on a large-scale basis, critical technical challenges need to be addressed, such as the economical production and transportation and storage issues. In terms of energy prices, hydrogen is an inexpensive fuel. Ideally, a vehicle run on hydrogen reduces the cost per kilometre with better mileage than that of fuelled with fossil fuel. Electric vehicles run on hydrogen fuel cells, for instance, offer several performance improvements over conventional internal combustion engines. This includes better fuel efficiency and relatively less noise operation, yet one of the important technical challenges is onboard hydrogen storage. In this review article, recent trends in modeling for hydrogen production and utilization are addressed in detail.

Abstract

This paper discusses the process of optimizing the truss structure step by step from 2D to 3D space using finite element analysis. This step-by-step optimization process is carried out to simplify the analysis of truss structures from simple to more complex cases. Optimization aims to obtain the minimum cross-sectional area and weight for each truss member. The stages of the optimization process carried out in this study are starting from a 2-dimensional (2D) truss structure with several two and five members to a 3-dimensional (3D) one-level tower with a total of 18 members. The optimum criterion as the constraint used is the full stress design method and the value of the cross-sectional area and weight of the structure as a result of optimization, leading to convergence during the iteration process. The tool used to run the iteration process is performed using Fortran software. The results of this optimization process are the total cross-sectional area (A) and a minimum of weight (W), that is, for a two-member truss A = 1 in2 and W = 4 lb, for a five-member truss A = 3.48 in2 and W = 14 lb. Furthermore, for a one-level of tower-space truss with a total of 18 elements, A = 57.91 in2 is obtained and the optimum weight of the truss structure is W = 134.02 lb. From these results, it can be seen that the optimization process that starts from simple to complex cases can be carried out easily and still takes into account the existing constraints
