Abstract

This study analyzes the effect of using B35 and B40 blended biodiesel fuels on the performance of a MAN 12V 51/60 DF diesel engine at the Seram Peaker Gas Engine Power Plant (PLTMG). The background for this research is the national mandatory biodiesel policy, which continues to increase its blend ratio. The results show that by using 1 kg of fuel, the B35 blend can produce 12.486 MW of power with a fuel consumption of 0.2100 kg/kWh, an effective thermal efficiency of 20.31%, and a mechanical efficiency of 0.91092. Meanwhile, the B40 blend produces 12.367 MW with a higher fuel consumption of 0.21884 kg/kWh, an effective thermal efficiency of 18.92%, and a mechanical efficiency of 0.887581. These data indicate that increasing the biodiesel content from B35 to B40 tends to decrease the power output and engine efficiency, while fuel consumption increase.  Keywords: Biodiesel, B35, B40, Diesel Engine Performance.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the design and fabrication of a parallel-flow shell-and-tube heat exchanger prototype. The research was motivated by the need for concrete and effective practical learning media in the Mechanical Engineering Department of Ambon State Polytechnic, which is currently limited to theoretical material. The design method for this device uses a "build and build" approach. This design combines a 6 mm diameter aluminum pipe for the hot fluid tube and a 4 inch diameter galvanized iron pipe as the shell for the cold fluid. The fluid used for the hot and cold sides is water. The mass flow rates applied to the hot and cold fluids are 0.089 kg/s and 0.12572989 kg/s, respectively. The design calculations resulted in the creation of a prototype exchanger with a shell length of 0.5 m, an outer tube diameter of 0.006 m, and 74 aluminum tubes. Leakage testing was conducted using compressed air at 16 psi for 5 minutes. No leaks were found during the test. Keywords : heat exchanger,, shell and tube, parallel flow

Abstract

In the oil industry, Indonesian oil wells that initially could flow fluids naturally (natural flow) experience declining reservoir pressure over time, necessitating artificial lift methods. The RPD well in the RPT Field Zone 11 East Java uses an Electrical Submersible Pump (ESP) as an artificial lift method. This research aims to analyze ESP performance, optimize production, and assess the economic feasibility of its use. Analysis was conducted using the Inflow Performance Relationship (IPR) method with Vogel's equation to understand well production capability. The analysis results show that the maximum production rate (Qmax) of the RPD well is 1108 bpd, with a pump volumetric efficiency of 63%. Field testing produced 698 bpd at 94% water cut. For optimization, a comparison was made between ESP pump type DN1300 with 165 stages and ESP pump type TA1500 with 175 stages, resulting in an increase in volumetric efficiency from 63% to 68% and production increase from 698 bpd to 785 bpd. Economic analysis indicates that the reactivation of the RPD well using ESP is financially viable, with a Net Present Value (NPV) of $771,744, Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 78.98%, and Benefit-Cost (B/C) ratio of 26.64 before optimization. After optimization with the TA1500 pump type, there was an economic improvement with NPV $812,450, IRR 84.15%, B/C ratio 30.21, and Pay Out Time (POT) reduced from 1.24 years to 1.08 years. Sensitivity analysis proves that this project remains economically viable under various scenarios of oil price changes, operational costs, and discount rates Keywords: Natural flow, Artificial lift, Electricial Submersible pump, Efficiency, Production optimization, Economic analysis.

Abstract

This study investigates the transient behavior of internal combustion engines (SI Engine) using various ethanol-gasoline blends (E0 to E10). The research aims to analyze the impact of bioethanol concentration on engine stability across two operational regimes: low speed (1500 RPM) simulating idle conditions and medium speed (2000 RPM) representing transition to workload. The experimental method involved sequential microscopic recording of crankshaft fluctuations at specific intervals. The results demonstrate that at 1500 RPM, E10 significantly improves operational stability, reducing fluctuations to only 10 RPM compared to 60 RPM for E0, due to the oxygenated nature of ethanol. Conversely, at 2000 RPM, higher ethanol concentrations (E8 and E10) lead to performance deficits and unstable combustion phases. This is attributed to the lower heating value (LHV) of ethanol, which results in a 3% to 4% reduction in chemical energy input, and high latent heat of vaporization that causes intake cooling and non-uniform vaporization.  Key word : bioethanol, SI engine, engine stability, fluctuations RPM

Abstract

ST-42 low-carbon steel inherently possesses limitations in its surface mechanical properties, particularly regarding hardness and wear resistance. This study aims to enhance the material's functionality through pack carburizing and tempering heat treatments, utilizing the innovation of crab shell waste which is rich in Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) as a biogenic catalyst to replace the toxic synthetic Barium Carbonate (BaCO3). The carburizing process utilized a mixture of walnut shell charcoal and 30% crab shell powder, followed by rapid quenching in SAE 20-50 oil, and subsequent tempering at varying temperatures from 200°C to 600°C. Hardness was evaluated using the Rockwell (HRC) method. The results demonstrated that the integration of the crab shell catalyst accelerated the Boudouard reaction via massive CO2 emissions, significantly increasing the surface hardness by 22.80% to an average of 138.34, compared to a mere 10.49% increase achieved without a catalyst. During the tempering phase, heating within the 200°C – 400°C range resulted in a marginal hardness decrease due to the formation of fine carbide particles that maintained wear resistance while relaxing residual stresses. Conversely, extreme heating at temperatures between 500°C – 600°C caused a drastic hardness reduction down to 125.325, driven by the dissolution of the rigid martensite structure into a ductile ferrite phase, accompanied by carbon spheroidization. In conclusion, crab shells are highly effective as an eco-friendly energizer that drastically boosts carbon diffusion, while modulating the tempering temperature provides precise control over the material's hardness-to-ductility balance.

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the surface hardness improvement of S-35C steel through the pack carburizing process using an eco-friendly catalyst alternative. The use of conventional, toxic Barium Carbonate (BaCO3) is replaced with a bio-energizer derived from marine shell waste, which is rich in natural Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3). The research method utilized was experimental, where steel specimens were completely buried in a media mixture of 60% nani wood charcoal and 40% shell powder. The heating process was conducted at a target temperature of 900°C with holding time variations of 15, 30, and 45 minutes, followed by rapid quenching in SAE 20-50 oil. Hardness testing was performed using a Rockwell (HRC) scale machine. The results indicate that the use of the seashell biocatalyst effectively increased the surface hardness value of the steel. There is a directly proportional relationship between the holding time duration and the hardness improvement. The most optimal hardness value was achieved at a holding time of 45 minutes, showing a net increase of +20.38 units (21.60%) from an initial average of 94.33 units to 114.71 units. A physical deceleration phenomenon in the carbon diffusion rate was also observed as the holding time increased, which strongly aligns with Fick's Second Law of Diffusion.
