The Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Fabrication (JMEF) is a scientific publication dedicated to advancing knowledge and innovation in the field of mechanical engineering and fabrication technology. JMEF accepts articles from various researchers who conduct research in the field of mechanical engineering and product fabrication, both research results of students, lecturers and other researchers. Each article will be processed with a review from reviewers who are members of JMEF. Focus and Scope The main scope of the journal is to publish original research articles in the area of mechanical engineering. The editorial team aims to publish high-quality and highly applied research and innovation that has the potential to be widely disseminated, taking into consideration the potential mechanical engineering that it could generate with a special focus on Mechanical Engineering with scopes: - Energy Conversion JMEF accepts manuscripts written in the field of energy conversion with several limitations. Given the broad field of energy conversion, JMEF has limited the scope to mechanical and thermal energy conversion. Furthermore, the scope itself constrainted by several criteria. In more detail, JMEF only considers on study of the mechanical properties and design of conversion equipment to improve energy efficiency during the conversion process. Therefore, the topic of chemical processes and reactions that indirectly or directly affect the efficiency of thermal energy conversion is outside the scope of JMEF. - Machine and Mechanism Design - Manufacturing Technology - Material Engineering - Mechatronics - Biomechanics

Abstract

The utilization of solar energy to support electric vehicle charging still faces challenges related to efficiency and real-time solar radiation monitoring. Addressing this issue is critical given the importance of optimizing renewable energy to facilitate the transition toward sustainable transportation. This study offers a solution through the development of an Internet of Things (IoT)--based solar radiation monitoring system capable of measuring solar light intensity in real time. The system employs a BH1750 sensor integrated with an ESP32 microcontroller to process data, transmit it to the Firebase Realtime Database, and display it via an Android application. The methodology encompasses the design, implementation, and testing of the system on an electric vehicle placed in an open area for 10 hours of observation. Results indicate that the highest light intensity, recorded at 98,321 lux, corresponded to solar radiation of 776.74 W/m², while the lowest light intensity, 69 lux, resulted in radiation of 0.55 W/m². The implications of this research include enhanced efficiency in electric vehicle charging, the advancement of IoT-based solar energy systems, and the potential integration with energy storage technologies and predictive algorithms to improve energy sustainability.

Abstract

Energy is needed by all people in various countries, this results in climate change and depletion of energy, it is necessary to find clean alternative energy, one of which is biomass. Water hyacinth is a biomass that grows rapidly in Indonesia, but its energy density is still low. This research aims to improve the characteristics and calorific value of water hyacinth biomass using torefaction process. In this study, water hyacinth was subjected to a torefaction process with temperature variations of 200 ℃, 250 ℃ and 300 ℃ and a holding time of 1 hour. ¬The biochar resulting from the torefaction process is then made into briquettes using tapioca starch adhesive, with a ratio of 10% of the weight of the raw material, and pressing at a pressure of 300 kg/cm2. From the research and testing that has been done, the proximate test results obtained the lowest moisture content of 5.75% in the 300 ℃ sample, the lowest ash content of 17.65% in the 200 ℃ sample, the lowest volatile compounds of 39.52% in the 300 ℃ sample and the highest fixed carbon of 25.92% in the 300 ℃ sample. The highest heating value was produced in the 300 ℃ sample which amounted to 5140.44 cal/g. The lowest Shatter Index was 1.68% in the 300 ℃ sample. The most optimal burning rate of briquettes in the 300 ℃ sample was 0.085 g/min with a duration of 47 minutes. The results of this study indicate that the torefaction process and torefaction temperature variation have a significant effect on the characteristics and heating value of water hyacinth briquettes.

Abstract

This study analyzes the effect of E7018 electrode current variation on SMAW welding process on AISI 1041 steel material, using penetrant test and bending test as evaluation methods. AISI 1041 steel is often used in construction industry because of its good mechanical properties and its ability to be welded with various techniques. Testing was conducted with welding current variation of 100 A, 110 A, and 120 A. The test results showed that welding current significantly affected the strength and resistance of the material to deformation. At 110 A current, the material showed an optimal combination of strength and flexibility. Higher current (120 A) tended to increase the maximum stress in Root Pass test, but decreased the strength in Capping. This finding emphasizes the importance of selecting the right welding current in determining the strength of the welded joint, in addition to considering heat distribution and changes in material microstructure.

Abstract

In the manual shredding process, the capacity is 50-70 kg/hour. Therefore, a crusher machine is needed to increase the capacity. The results of crushing the oil palm bunches can be used as compost. In this design, the cutting blade is designed with a larger number of cutting blades to accelerate the production of oil palm bunches so that it can operate optimally and does not require excessive power to move the tool because the tool designed will be driven using a gasoline engine and by adding cutting blades, the production capacity will increase. Design is one of the important things in making a program. The purpose of the design is to provide a clear and complete picture to the programmers and engineers involved. The design must be useful and easy to understand so that it is easy to use. Design is a process to define something that will be experienced in the process. The results of the machine test were able to produce a crushing capacity with a length of 3 - 14 cm, a width of 3 - 20 mm and ± 8.5 kg in one minute. The following is a systematic calculation of machine capacity: 1 minute = 8.5 kg per second 1 hour = 8.5 kg x 60 minutes = 510 kg/hour.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the efficiency of mobility in the distribution of production results by comparing the use of diesel forklifts and electric forklifts. Efficient mobility in the distribution process is an important factor to increase productivity and reduce operational costs. This study uses a quantitative method with a case study approach in a manufacturing company that utilizes both types of forklifts in its operational activities. The parameters analyzed include fuel or energy costs, operational time, load capacity, exhaust emissions, and maintenance and care costs. The results of the study show that electric forklifts have advantages in terms of lower energy costs and reduced exhaust emissions, but with the limitation of shorter operational time compared to diesel forklifts. Meanwhile, diesel forklifts have advantages in terms of longer operational durability but produce higher emissions and more expensive fuel costs. By considering efficiency and environmental impact factors, this study recommends the use of electric forklifts for production environments that require high mobility over short distances and diesel forklifts for long-distance or heavy-load applications that require longer operational times
