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

Cracker snacks made from melinjo fruit are often found in the Pidie Regency area, Aceh. However, processing melinjo seeds into crackers is still manual and takes a long time. In this research, a melinjo peeling machine will be designed to speed up the production process of melinjo crackers. This peeler uses two different electricity sources so it can work in two conditions, namely the PLN electricity supply is on or off. The research method was carried out by collecting data from device testing results and field observations as well as comparing test results with previous research. The movement of the motor is controlled using Time Delay which gives a command to activate the relay and then turns on the 12 V DC motor. The motor rotates clockwise and anti-clockwise continuously (auto reverse) according to the direction of positive and negative potential which is controlled by the relay and Time Delay. The success rate of peeling the outer skin of melinjo seeds using the proposed tool is divided into three types based on differences in seed skin color. The percentage of success for red, orange, and yellowish green melinjo was 68.67%, 51.52% and 25.61% respectively. Thus, in this study, it can be concluded that the most efficient success rate is for red melinjo

Abstract

Gas wells have numerous safety devices installed at the wellhead, including pressure sensors with high-high (HH) and low-low (LL) parameter set points that can close the shut-down valve (SDV). A phenomenon of icing was discovered on the wellhead tube wings during open well X operations (after shut-in wells). This occurs when wells are shut down for longer than three days, such as during turnaround operations or emergency situations. The occurrence of ice blocks on the wellhead tube wings during wellbore startup disrupts gas flow to well X and has the potential to result in an annual loss of production opportunity (LPO) of $960 million. When there is a significant heat release phenomenon around the wing tube area, the absence of a heating facility around the wellhead area is one of the most important factors in this icing. To prevent icing and ice blockage, a portable, modular electric heat trace with clamp-on attachment is installed. Heat Trace cable is connected to a portable generator for power. This device is capable of converting electricity into heat up to 167 °F (75 °C). The heat generated by the instrument will mitigate the sudden release of heat when the gas begins to flow. Modular portable clamp-on heat tracing has been demonstrated to eliminate the possibility of icing at the wellhead due to a significant drop in temperature and maintain the gas field's production rate.

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 global warming issue has been resolved through Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agreed upon by the world. One of the SDGs is affordable and clean energy. Green energy, such as solar energy, is a solution to realize it. Solar energy has massive potential as renewable energy in tropical countries. On the one side, solar energy is an excellent renewable energy. On the other side, solar energy has a low maturity level of technology. It is proven by the extravagant investment cost of building a solar power plant. Indonesia has an investment cost of up to 1200 USD per kWh, which is unsuitable for household applications. This investment cost will continue to be higher when it uses an IoT system for monitoring or managing the solar power plant. The low-cost solar power plant was designed using a hybrid system to reduce the investment cost. The industrial standard components include ACS712 as a current sensor, ZMPT101B as an AC voltage sensor, and ESP32 as a data processor and IoT module. The Blynk platform, connected to ESP32, is a web-based monitoring system. The success parameter consists of the DC voltage and current from battery and solar panel, AC voltage and current from single phase inverter. The low-cost solar power plant is designed in a 1.92 kWh battery pack with 1 kWh of AC continuous output power with total investment cost 1080 USD. The proposed solar power plant design decreases an investment cost by 14.29% up to 50.00 % per kWh.

Abstract

In the continuum of time and technological advancement, the use of metals, specifically carbon steel, has significantly increased as primary materials in various operational and industrial domains, including tool fabrication and automotive components. To meet the evolving demands of industries, precise heat treatment processes have been developed to enhance the metallic properties. This study specifically focused on the application of the Quenching-Partitioning-Tempering (Q-P-T) method to ASTM A36 steel. The study investigated different partitioning temperatures, namely 300℃, 350℃, and 400℃, with 15-minute intervals. A comprehensive set of mechanical tests, including hardness, tensile, and microstructural analyses, were conducted to assess the response of the material to the treatment. The results reveal significant findings: a partitioning temperature of 300℃ yields the highest hardness value of 164 Vickers Hardness Number (VHN). Furthermore, the tensile tests demonstrate that a partitioning temperature of 300℃ is optimal, achieving a maximum stress value of 515.73 MPa. Conversely, a partitioning temperature of 400℃ exhibits the highest strain value at 21.08% and the highest elastic modulus value at 11.47 GPa. Microstructural evaluations highlighted the presence of pearlite and ferrite phases, with the partitioning temperature of 300°C displaying the highest proportion of pearlite phase at 38.5%. This meticulous investigation expands our understanding of metallurgy and underscores the intricate relationship between partitioning temperatures and the mechanical properties of ASTM A36 steel. It provides valuable insights for material design and application methodologies and facilitates advancements in industrial practices

Abstract

The primary challenge in the manufacturing industry today is the subpar productivity and efficiency in production processes. This predicament can be attributed to the widespread utilization of suboptimal production systems and the underutilization of advanced technology in manufacturing. Furthermore, the lack of accurate production data, limited employee involvement in production processes, and the high costs associated with production and machine maintenance have emerged as significant concerns in the contemporary manufacturing landscape. In response to these challenges, the adoption of Smart Manufacturing Systems (SMS) based on the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has become crucial to address these issues andenhance overall production quality and efficiency. The SMS IIoT system empowers companies to gather real-time data from various industrial devices and machines. This data is subsequently analyzed to optimize production processes, resulting in increased efficiency and productivity. With this system in place, companies can closely monitor production processes in real-time and promptly detect and address defective or non-compliant products at the onset of production. The research results show an availability value of 88%, indicating that the machine operates 88% of the scheduled time. A Performance value of 100% indicates that the engine is operating at the desired maximum speed. OEE is calculated as the product of Availability, Performance, and Quality of Rate. With a value of 88%, OEE reflects the overall level of effectiveness of the machine in the production process. This paper highlights the significance of IIoT-based Smart Manufacturing Systems in addressing the prevailing challenges encountered by the manufacturing industry.

Abstract

The mechanical properties of stainless steel at high temperatures are important parameters of the refractory design of stainless-steel structures. In this study, the mechanical properties of SS304 cold-drawn austenitic stainless grade at high temperature and room temperature were investigated experimentally. Thermal strain testing and total deformation of temperature transient conditions were carried out. The young modulus of maximum tensile is determined and the yield strength is determined using the 0.2% offset method. Temperature variables in this test are 25 °C, 100 °C, 200 °C, 300 °C, 400 °C, 500 °C, 600 °C, 700 °C, 800 °C, and 900 °C. In the thermal tensile test results, the specimen at 25 ° C has the highest ultimate voltage (σu), which is 698.33 MPa. Effect of temperature on the strength of SS304 stainless grade dramatically in the temperature range 700 °C. High temperatures reduce steel properties to a relatively greater degree, resulting in a decrease in the mechanical properties of stainless steel SS304 grade followed by relatively low steel ductility capabilities. SEM results explain that the formation of ε-martensite resulting from cold plastic deformation can lead to failure of the material at the total deformation of transient temperatures at low temperatures. The high chromium (Cr) content (~18%. wt) in grade CD 304 SS can be the main trigger for the formation of Cr-carbide precipitates formed in austenite grains or grain boundaries.

Abstract

This study investigates an effects of various magnetic fieldsdirection on flames characteristic of premix combustions. Research is important as a reserve a fossil fuel using environmental friendly vegetable oil.Jatrophacurcas oil is mixed with cotton seeds (50% blend) as fuel.Experimentare carried out on cylindrical type burner. Vegetable oils were loaded on boiler, then heated on LPG stoves, while air was obtained from the compressor. Grade N52 nickel neodymium magnets atintensitymagnetic fieldsof 1.1 T were used in this study. The combustion characteristics are identified from the flame image and the temperature signal at the burner tip. The flame image is recorded using a video camera at highspeed, 120 frames per second. This research found that the magnetic field of an attractive produces a brighter, wider, and more stable flame compared to a repulsive magnet and without. The magnetic field changes the orientation of the hydrocarbon from the para state to the ortho state, so that it tends to break down the fuel molecules resulting in more complete and faster combustion causing the flame temperature to increase, but the flame height decreases.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of the undershot water wheel type with a 3 kW generator as a micro-hydro power plant that generates electricity by utilizing water power from paddy fields and local resources. Where the irrigation canal can irrigate approximately 247 hectares of rice fields during the dry season. The research technique employs a waterwheel with a 1.1-meter diameter, 12 blades with a 70-centimeter blade arm length, and a 2-inch shaft diameter. The transmission system employs a chain to increase rotation and decrease slippage and rotation losses, making it simpler to drive the generator to produce electricity. The test was conducted by varying the lamp capacity from 100 W to 800 W while maintaining constant water discharge and flow. Water discharge, water head, generator rotation, electric current traveling through the load, and output voltage are the test parameters. With a discharge of 0.476 m3/s, a water flow speed of 3.229 m/s, a waterwheel rotation of 42.39 rpm, and electric power of 207 W, the utmost efficiency value of 8.35% was determined.

Abstract

A centrifugal pump is an essential mechanical device in the Regional Drinking Water Company (PDAM) to distribute sterile water from the reservoir to local community houses by flowing the fluid through the pipeline. However, improper and inadequate maintenance of centrifugal pumps can result in component damage, including bearings that are broken, ripped, or damaged mechanical seals. Therefore, for the water supply to continue smoothly, proper maintenance needs to be carried out so that the engine's performance will be maintained and last longer. This study aims to conduct a maintenance analysis on centrifugal pumps utilized by the PDAM of Madiun City. The Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) method was employed to assess the potential failure of a system, design, process, or service by implementing a systematic approach to analyze damage and devise maintenance strategies. The FMEA analysis revealed that the shaft of the centrifugal pump component had the highest Risk Priority Number (RPN) value, which amounts to 294. The wearing ring had the lowest RPN value among the centrifugal pump components, with a value of 54. The Pareto diagram results classified six components: shaft, clutch, stuffing box, motor, impeller, and mechanical seal to recommend preventative maintenance action. Additionally, three other components suggested for corrective maintenance were the bearing, packing, and wearing rings
