Abstract

Pengisian cairan dapat dilakukan dengan mudah secara manual. Tetapi untuk hasil yang lebih baik, sebaiknya dilakukan otomatis menggunakan katup elektronik, terutama untuk pengisian berulang dalam rentang waktu lama. Tetapi di beberapa kasus, kabel penghubung antara tempat pengisian dengan sistem elektronik dianggap menyulitkan dan beresiko. Penggunaan modul WiFi dapat menjadi alternatif solusi masalah ini. Selain menghubungkan sistem mekanik pengisian dengan smartphone, modul ini juga dapat menghubungkan sistem mekanik tersebut dengan PC yang berperan sebagai Data Logger sekaligus Web server. Pada penelitian ini telah dirancang dan diuji, sistem pengisian air mulai 50 ml sampai 1000 ml dengan resolusi 50 ml. Volume cairan yang diinginkan dapat ditentukan melalui keypad dan proses pengisian dipantau menggunakan flowmeter. Aliran cairan dapat dibuka dan ditutup melalui katup elektronik dan hasil akhir pengisian ditampilkan di LCD. Selain itu, data hasil pengisian juga dapat dikirimkan ke smartphone maupun PC yang berperan sebagai Data Logger dan Web Server. Dari serangkaian pengujian diperoleh akurasi pengisian dengan kesalahan berkisar antara 0,1%-10%. Jangkauan WiFi dianggap memadai, melampaui 20 m, dengan proses pengiriman kurang dari 2 ms. Selain itu, PC juga dapat merekam seluruh kejadian pengisian, berupa waktu dan volume pengisian, serta menampilkannya pada domain Web.

Abstract

The 5G system requires more significant system capacity, more full bandwidth, and higher frequency. One type of antenna that can be used to increase the channel capacity is microstrip MIMO antenna. The Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. has recently designated the frequency band from 27.5 to 28.35 GHz for 5G applications. In this paper, the design of 28 GHz microstrip MIMO antenna for future 5G applications was proposed. The antenna was designed by using RT Duroid 5880 substrate with a dielectric constant of 2.2 and the loss tangent of 0.0009. The antenna operated from 27.10 GHz to 28.88 GHz with 1.78 GHz (6.35%) of bandwidth. The antenna consisted of four elements feeding by a microstrip line. Based on the simulated results, the high gain of 14.8 dBi is obtained with a linear directional pattern. Comparison performance regarding gain, return loss, VSWR and bandwidth are also presented for single, two and four elements.  It is shown that the increasing number of elements of antenna increased the gain and the return loss. The antenna meets the 5G requirements.

Abstract

The ineffectiveness of the wall-following robot (WFR) performance indicated by its surging movement has been a concerning issue. The use of a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) has been considered to be an option to mitigate this problem. However, the determination of the membership function of the input value precisely adds to this problem. For this reason, a particular manner is recommended to improve the performance of FLC. This paper describes an optimization method, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), used to automatically determinate and arrange the FLC’s input membership function. The proposed method is simulated and validated by using MATLAB. The results are compared in terms of accumulative error. According to all the comparative results, the stability and effectiveness of the proposed method have been significantly satisfied.

Abstract

The generator is the primary component in electricity generation and requires a protection system from internal and external interference that occurs. This study considers how to improve the performance of relays in power plants. A model of a generator that is executed in a fault condition to reset the protective equipment, namely Reverse Power Relay (RPR). The study is intended to model the state of internal and external fault on the generator by applying a working principle of RPR. The model is designed to anticipate the actual fault in the generator. The simulation results obtained output such as; active power, current and time delay relay. The RPR reset of the generator system is applied to the generator in Riau Power. The RPR is installed on the generator is -612 kW, equivalent to 30%, the relay delay time is 0.2 seconds. Based on standardization, the return of power reaches a maximum of -12.66 MW, which is captured 50% with a maximum replacement of 30 seconds. Results of the RPR simulation have been validated with the IEEE standard at a time delay that corresponds to the percentage of reverse power settings installed at 6% and a time delay of 0.6%. Finally, to maximize the protection system on the generator, adjust 50% to 95% of the installed settings. It can be said that the system is able to increase generator protection and minimize the impact of internal or external fault.

Abstract

A Sheet Metal Forming (SMF) process, especially deep drawing, is one of the manufacturing processes that commonly used in the automotive industry. Compared with casting and forging, the SMF process has several advantages, including lesser weight materials and broader variations in shape that can be made. One of the problems in the SMF process is the wrinkling phenomenon, which can cause the size and appearance defects of sheet products. The wrinkle occurs because of the mechanical properties of the material, product geometry, and blank holder force (BHF). Several variations of BHF were applied in these simulations and experiments to eliminate the wrinkle defects of cylinder flange cup test products. The characteristic of the cylinder flange cup is from the cold-rolled coiled steel plate (SPCC) type of material with a thickness of 0.8 and 1.0 mm, the height of 10 mm, the inner diameter of 58 mm, and flange diameter of 76 mm. Simple simulations of the SMF process were carried out by using Solidworks with version 2017, and the experiment was carried out at a 600 kN press with a punch velocity of 40 strokes per minute and blank holder force variations from 0 to 21 kN. The experimental data performed with a single die on a flanged cup cylindrical test material shows that the higher the blank holder force (BHF) number, the smaller the wrinkle defect, and it can be eliminated starting from the BHF number of 15 kN.

Abstract

In 2015, there were 55 deaths from 6,231 accident cases that occurred in Jakarta. A severe problem in Indonesia is the absence of a unique safety device in both commercial transport or personal vehicles and the very high complexity problem of human highways. Consequently, there are many traffic accidents caused by the negligence of the driver, such as driving a vehicle in a drunken, tired, drowsy, or over-limit speed. Therefore, it needs to be innovative using devices to increase speed but able to detect the level of tired or sleepy drivers. This paper tries to propose a concept of improving safety engineering by developing devices that can control the speed and level of safety of trucks and buses, named SLIFA. The proposed device captures the driver's condition by looking at the eyes, size of mouth evaporating, and heart rate conditions.  Theses condition will be measured with a particular scale to determine the fatigue level of the driver. Some performance tests have been carried out on truck and bus with 122 Nm and 112 Nm torque wheels and 339 HP and 329 HP power values, respectively, and the minimum speed is 62 km/h. At a top speed of 70 km / h, the torque and power of the truck are 135Nm and 370HP, with average fuel consumption of 3.43 liters/km before SLIFA installation and average fuel consumption of 4.2 liters/km after SLIFA installation. SLIFA can be said to have functional eligibility and can cut fuel consumption by 81 percent.
