Abstract

Lubricating oil is a critical component in the operation of diesel engines, functioning to reduce wear and dissipate heat generated by friction in moving engine components. Compared to gasoline engines, diesel engines produce higher levels of carbon during combustion, necessitating the use of lubricating oil filters to remove combustion residues. Additionally, fine filters are employed to minimize contaminants present in the lubricating oil. This study aims to analyze the contaminant levels in different states of lubricating oil: new, unused oil; oil used for 500 hours without a fine filter; oil used for 500 hours with a CJC fine filter; and oil used for 1,336.5 hours with a CJC fine filter. The testing methods employed were ASTM D5185-18 and ASTM E2412-10, with all analyses conducted at the PT Petrolab Services Laboratory. The results demonstrate that the use of a CJC fine filter significantly reduces contaminants, with sodium levels at 1 ppm, silicon levels at 7 ppm, and Fuel Dilution, Water Content, and Glycol levels consistently at 0%.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the important role of weather parameters i.e. humidity, rainfall, temperature, and wind speed on the corrosion rate in the Medan City atmospheric environment. Three forms of material with low carbon steel type were prepared in this investigation. The exploration process was conducted for six months starting from June to December 2023, in the open area of the Engineering Faculty, Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara. Corrosion rate assessment is carried out monthly using the weight loss method and climate parameter data is obtained from the Medan City Meteorology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG). The dimensions, initial preparation, data collection, post-test material preparation, and corrosion rate calculations refer to the ASTM G1 and G50 standards. Regression analysis and Pearson correlation explain the relationship between corrosion rate and climate parameters. The investigation showed that the corrosion rate fluctuated monthly from 0.1 to 0.5 mpy. By referring to corrosion resistance data on metal materials, it was found that the corrosion level was in the good resistance category "outstanding". Based on the regression analysis results, humidity, local temperature, and rainfall play an important role in the atmospheric corrosion rate in Medan City. The percentage of closeness between variables is ± 98% and the standard deviation is ± 0.0001. Further development is needed to determine other parameters that also play an important role in atmospheric corrosion rate and forming a random forest model for predicting future corrosion rates.

Abstract

A proper clamping system reduces clamping time, enhances process repeatability, and increases flexibility in product replacement, significantly improving a company's competitiveness in terms of time and cost. The chamfering process for the KN-00XX series sprocket-cam product at PT. Toshin Prima Fine Blanking faced challenges due to the absence of a clamping device capable of quickly, securely, and automatically accommodating the contour clamping process while ensuring a long service life. To address this, optimizing existing spare parts, such as collets and pneumatic mechanisms, was essential to minimize manufacturing costs. This research aimed to design and evaluate a chuck tool that reduces product installation time and optimizes component stock to lower manufacturing costs. The study applied the VDI 2221-QFD method, where VDI 2221 identified functional requirements and user needs, while QFD assessed these needs and prioritized them for cost-effective design. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was used to evaluate the design's strength and performance. The resulting pneumatic collet clamping design showed an actual von Mises stress value of 1,044,029 kN/m², safely below the maximum allowable value of 1,080,000 kN/m². FEA analysis indicated a collet displacement of 0.37 mm, close to the actual measured value of 0.42 mm, meeting clamping requirements. The estimated manufacturing cost of the pneumatic collet clamping system was Rp. 1,472,769. Actual trials demonstrated an average cycle time of 9.8 seconds, confirming that the pneumatic collet clamping design is safe, efficient, and fulfills specified requirements.

Abstract

Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC) offer a promising solution for developing efficient and environmentally friendly alternative energy sources. MFCs convert chemical energy into electrical energy through anaerobic reactors equipped with anode and cathode electrodes containing substrates and microbes. This study investigates the effect of electrode type and area on the production of current, voltage, and power density using sago stem substrates in an MFC system enhanced with Lactobacillus plantarum. These bacteria play a critical role in facilitating electrolysis, thereby increasing electrical energy output. A dual-chamber MFC design was employed, testing electrode materials (copper, aluminum, nickel, and graphite carbon) and areas (30 cm², 40 cm², and 60 cm²). Measurements of current, voltage, and power density were taken over 36 hours. Results indicate that electrode area significantly influences voltage and current, while electrode type determines power density. The highest average power density, 432.953 mW/m², was achieved using nickel electrodes with a 30 cm² surface area. These findings underscore the importance of optimizing electrode properties to enhance the performance of MFCs.

Abstract

A cobalt-based metal alloying process was conducted with the addition of the non-metallic element boron (B) using vacuum arc remelting (VAR). The process employed a water-cooled copper mold within an argon atmosphere. This research aimed to investigate the resulting microstructure and surface hardness values of the alloy. The metal melting rate during the VAR process was carefully controlled to achieve the desired microstructure and minimize defects, ensuring the production of high-quality alloys post-solidification. The process effectively facilitated the removal of oxide inclusions through flotation during remelting. The resulting alloy exhibited a dendritic microstructure characterized by large grain sizes. The average hardness value obtained for the alloy was 27.53 HRC.

Abstract

Aluminum is one of the most widely used materials today due to several advantages, including its lightweight nature, relatively high tensile strength, good formability, corrosion resistance, and non-magnetic properties, making it a preferred choice in industries such as aerospace. However, metals, including 7075 aluminum alloy commonly used in the aerospace industry, are still susceptible to corrosion in corrosive environments. One effective method to control corrosion is the use of inhibitors. An inhibitor is a chemical substance that, when added in small amounts to a corrosive environment, can effectively slow down or reduce the corrosion rate. This study investigates the corrosion rate using the potentiodynamic polarization method (Tafel plot) in seawater from Parangtritis Beach and rainwater from Yogyakarta City. The inorganic inhibitor used in this research is K₂CrO₄ with a concentration of 0.3%. The results show that the corrosion rate in seawater without inhibitors (pH 7.34) is 0.027799 mm/yr, while with inhibitors (pH 7.50), it decreases to 0.0053243 mm/yr. Similarly, the corrosion rate in rainwater without inhibitors (pH 6.66) is 0.0021987 mm/yr, while with inhibitors (pH 7.74), it reduces to 0.0017807 mm/yr. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of K₂CrO₄ inhibitors in minimizing corrosion rates in both seawater and rainwater environments.

Abstract

Cortical bone drilling is a critical step performed prior to implant bolt placement, where drilling parameters play a significant role in the success of the procedure. This study investigates the effects of rotational speed, feed rate, and cooling fluid type on the outcome of the drilling process. A Box-Behnken experimental design was employed, involving 15 samples. Drilling operations were conducted using an SS316L drill bit on a 3-axis CNC machine. Circularity was analyzed using a Mitutoyo PJ3000 profile projector by measuring the x- and y-axis lines of the drill hole shadows under projector illumination. Hardness testing of bone specimens revealed an average microhardness of 45.48 HV with a standard deviation of 1.74, indicating their suitability as a human bone model. The lowest circularity value, 0.00125, was achieved at a rotational speed of 1,500 rpm, a feed rate of 60 mm/min, and in the absence of coolant. ANOVA results show that the feed rate (Vf) significantly affects circularity compared to rotational speed (V) and coolant, with a P-value of 0.0126 and an F-value of 8.86. These findings provide insights for optimizing cortical bone drilling procedures in biomedical applications. Future research should explore temperature distribution across the specimen and drill bit wear resistance resulting from the drilling process.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of cutting methods and feed rates on the dimensional accuracy and surface roughness of HMR (High Moisture Resistance) panels. The aim is to determine the optimal cutting parameters that yield precise dimensions and smooth surfaces in CNC machining. Two cutting methods—single and double passes—were applied using feed rates of 2, 4, and 6 m/min. Dimensional accuracy was measured using a digital caliper, while surface roughness was evaluated with a surface tester. The results indicate that the double-pass cutting method significantly improves both dimensional accuracy and surface finish. Statistical analysis using ANOVA revealed that feed rate has a significant effect on surface roughness (p < 0.05), whereas dimensional accuracy is primarily influenced by the cutting method. These findings provide practical insights for optimizing CNC machining processes in furniture manufacturing using HMR panels.

Abstract

Chiller systems account for a significant portion of energy consumption in industrial and commercial HVAC operations, often exceeding 50% of total power usage. However, inefficiencies such as elevated condenser pressure, inadequate heat transfer, and excessive compressor workload contribute to increased energy demand. This study presents a comprehensive performance evaluation of water-cooled centrifugal chiller systems based on 30 operational test scenarios. Key efficiency indicators—including Coefficient of Performance (COP), Specific Energy Consumption (SEC), and isentropic efficiency—were analyzed to identify performance gaps. The results revealed COP values ranging from 1.92 to 4.07, with an average between 2.8 and 3.2, indicating suboptimal performance relative to industry benchmarks (COP > 4). SEC values between 1.07 and 1.25 kW/ton further highlight opportunities for energy optimization. High condenser pressure (>7.5 barg) and negative subcooling (-4.1 K to 0 K) were identified as major contributors to inefficiency. The study emphasizes that optimizing water flow rates and maintaining proper heat exchanger conditions can significantly improve system performance. Unlike previous research relying on AI or IoT-based diagnostics, this work adopts a practical, data-driven approach, offering actionable insights for facility managers seeking to enhance energy efficiency and operational reliability.
