Abstract

Cooling tower is one of the most widely used cooling systems in the industrial world. A cooling tower is a series of heat exchange devices that use working fluids, such as water and air, to act as a cooling medium by coming into direct contact with the air, causing a small portion of the water to evaporate and reducing the temperature of the liquid. To enhance the performance of cooling towers, many researchers have conducted studies on this matter, but there is still room for improvement to achieve more optimal results. The objective of this research is to obtain an optimal cooling tower system by determining the convective heat transfer coefficient. With this phenomenon, the research investigates the heat transfer process that occurs on perforated plates in a flat plate-type cooling tower with an overall tower height of approximately 2.4 meters and around 5 levels of fluid distribution media. The length of each plate is 0.7 meters with a width of 0.5 meters. Variations are also made in the multi-level cooling tower design, specifically in the shape of the perforations used, including circular, triangular, and square perforation shapes, using a zig-zag outlet hole model. The perforated plate area is 0.0157 square meters for each plate, with a 15° inclination angle for each plate arrangement. The research results indicate that the highest heat transfer coefficient values occur in the multi-level cooling tower when using square-shaped plates, followed by triangular-shaped plates, while circular-shaped plates have the lowest heat transfer coefficient values. Therefore, variations in the shape of the perforations on the flat plates affect the change in temperature reduction and the heat transfer coefficient values in the performance of the multi-level cooling tower.

Abstract

The present study examines the effect of diameter bearing mounts to the stress concentration factor. Three commercial truck gearbox casings were selected for redrawing using CATIA. The gearbox casing is then converted into a FEM model in ANSYS. It has a bore ratio (the ratio of the largest diameter to the smallest diameter of the bearing diameter) of 1.8, 1.5 and 1.4. By applying pressure to the upper gearbox casing for static and dynamic conditions, the total deformation response and equivalent stress are investigated. The deformations and equivalent stresses on the three models of gearbox were determined and discussed. It was found that the bore ratio of the gearbox showed significant differences in results on deformations and equivalent stress. Based on the equivalent stress data of view A, which is the side of the gearbox casing connected to the engine, the stress concentration factor results are consistent with the bore ratio.

Abstract

The present study aimed to determine the effect of the percentage of water in brake fluid on the boiling point and the characteristics of bubble formation (the beginning of vapor lock) during the brake fluid heating process. DOT 3 Brake Fluid and water were used as the working fluid in the present study. To vary the water content in the brake fluid, water was mixed into the DOT 3 Brake Fluid. The water percentages in the mixture were 0, 1, 3, and 4%. The boiling point of brake fluid with four variations in the water content percentage was measured by using a digital thermometer. The characteristics of bubble formation in brake fluid were observed using a video camera with a frame rate of 240 fps. The video recording results were extracted into an image file with a jpeg extension and processed further using image processing with ImageJ software to measure the total cross-sectional area and bubble fraction. This is the novelty of the present study, where measurements of the total cross-sectional area and bubble fraction in boiling brake fluid with variations in water content have never been carried out by researchers before. Apart from that, the ImageJ measurement method has advantages compared to other software. ImageJ is free software that is easy to download from the internet, easy to use, accurate and the measurement results are displayed immediately. The research results show that an increase in the percentage of the water content in brake fluid affects reducing the boiling point of the brake fluid. At the same temperature, the greater the percentage of water content in the brake fluid, the total cross-sectional area and bubble fraction also increase. At the same percentage of water content, the total cross-sectional area and bubble fraction also increase as the temperature increases. Apart from that, in this research, an empirical equation was successfully developed to predict the brake fluid's boiling point based on its water content, and an empirical equation to predict the bubble fraction based on the water content and temperature of the brake fluid. This is a novel result of this research that has never been produced in previous research.

Abstract

Surface preparation is a fundamental thing that must be done before applying the coating to the material. A good painting will be obtained with good surface preparation treatment. This research aims to determine the effect of different surface preparation methods and various types of paint on adhesion strength and impact coating resistance. The type of material used in this research is SS400 steel with three different surface preparation methods, namely sandblasting, power tools, and hand tools following ISO 8501-1 standards, and with a variety of three different types of paint, namely epoxy, polyurethane, and alkyd paint. Adhesion strength testing uses the pull-off test method and impact resistance testing is carried out using the impact coating test. This test is carried out after the coating has been applied and the paint has dried completely. The results of the tests that have been carried out show that the highest average adhesion value of the three surface preparation methods carried out is obtained from polyurethane coatings. The best coating durability test results were obtained by polyurethane paint with only cracks occurring using the hand tool method at a height of 0.6 m. The conclusion obtained is that the best type of coating in this research is polyurethane coating and the best method is cleaning using the sandblasting method.

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to determine the overall performance value of the pneumatic actuator system on a solar-powered pineapple cutting machine. The research methods used are literature study and experimental laboratory. The laboratory experimental method is very suitable to be applied to post-harvest agricultural machines with a small capacity where the research is only focused on the success of the actuator system in carrying out pineapple cutting movements automatically by utilizing pressurized air coming from the compressor. The variation in air pressure for the pneumatic actuator is set at the air pressure, namely 3, 4, and 5 Bar. The actual peeling capacity using air pressure of 3 Bar resulted in 160 pineapple cutting/per hour, 170 fruit/per hour for 4 Bar, 173 bar for 5 bar, and 173 fruit/per hour manually. The efficiency of peeling pineapple manually was 82.8% while using a pneumatic actuator system it was 70.6%. The DC electrical energy storage capacity required for the pneumatic actuator drive system is a battery with a capacity of 80 Ah 12 v which is supplied by electrical energy originating from a 200 Wp solar panel. Solar panels of this size are sufficient to equip a pneumatic actuator system for stripping with capacity of 1 hour/day. The results of this study are expected provide the latest reference for determining the optimal productivity of solar-powered pineapple cutting machines today.

Abstract

Palm frond residue is one of the valuable wastes from palm oil plantations. This refuse can be repurposed and transformed into materials for producing acoustic composites. This study investigates the mechanical and morphology characteristics of a composite material reinforced with natural fiber palm fronds and a urea-formaldehyde (UF) as a matrix. Two parameters are formulated: the effect of alkali treatment on the fiber and the effect of density. The treatment parameter refers to the particles without treatment, 60 and 180 minutes of 2% alkaline immersion. Composite densities were determined with 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6 g/cm3. The composite was made using hot pressed at a pressure of 1.8 MPa, a temperature of 140OC for 5 minutes with 10% Urea Formaldehyde resin. Alkaline treatment and density of composite have a significant effect on mechanical and morphological characteristics. The best mechanical characteristics were obtained from panels with a 0.6 g/cm3 density, without treatment, MOE: 533.53 N/mm2. The results of this study have the potential to lead to the use of sustainable palm oil waste materials in novel products, which has a significant impact and great relevance not only from environmental aspects but also from social and economic aspects in Indonesia.

Abstract

Almost most heavy equipment units use a hydraulic system, including systems that are important for heavy equipment units to work. The hydraulic performance test on the excavator unit is part of the test carried out as an operational standard to state that the unit is good to run or operate in work in the field. So to know that the unit has good availability, it is necessary to carry out regular testing according to service guidelines. This research aims to provide information regarding standard operational procedures for testing hydraulic excavator performance, both cycle time and pressure on directional control valves. The method used is to carry out tests on hydraulic implements using a combination of system information services. In experimental testing, the cycle time for the movement of hydraulic implements, including boom, bucket, stick, swing, and travel, still complies with standard specifications. For testing, pilot relief valve pressure, main relief valve pressure, and swing pressure are all still within normal standard limits.

Abstract

This research intended to investigate the dynamics and flame of the droplet combustion of methyl laurate - methyl oleate blended. Methyl oleate is an unsaturated FAME with a relatively long carbon chain, frequently found as the dominant component in various biodiesel. Meanwhile, methyl laurate is a saturated FAME with a shorter carbon chain, which is the main component in coconut oil biodiesel. The methyl oleate content in the droplets was varied by 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100%. Visual observations and temperature measurements were conducted on the combustion of suspended droplets with a diameter of 1.24 mm. The droplet is supported by a thermocouple junction with a wire diameter of 0.1 mm. The experimental results show that increasing of the methyl oleate content increase the ignition delay time, burning time, thermal expansion of droplets as well as fluctuations in droplet diameter and combustion temperature. Ignition delay time has a much greater value than burning time. This parameter should be suppressed to obtain more complete combustion and cleaner exhaust emissions, especially in internal compression engine applications where the time available for the combustion process is very short. This can be obtained by increasing the percentage of methyl laurate in biodiesel.

Abstract

Medical facilities are exposed to substantial health and safety hazards as a result of the existence of perilous substances such as germs, viruses, and mold. The integration of drug use courses in medical education is hindered by constraints such as time limitations, a scarcity of well-informed personnel, and insufficient institutional backing. In order to mitigate these dangers, a comprehensive assessment of the risks, effective instruction, and stringent procedures are required. Effective waste management systems and precise detection of influent are crucial. Activated carbon, a highly porous material, is extensively utilized as an adsorbent in several industrial applications. Bamboo charcoal, a desirable lignocellulosic substance, is employed in the manufacturing process of activated carbon. The objective of the study was to generate and examine activated carbons obtained from Gigantochloas Apus (GA) through the utilization of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium chloride (NaCl) activation methods. The study determined that was the most efficient activating agent for achieving ideal ash content characteristics, resulting in the lowest ash percentage of 6.21%. The acidity of medical liquid waste is increased and its adsorption duration is extended by activating GA with NaCl and NaOH.
