Abstract

Fan unbalance is a condition of imbalance of the fan blades with respect to the axis of play and voltage. This imbalance results in the shaft bearing receiving additional centrifugal force due to unbalanced load. This condition causes excessive vibration that produces noise. Trim Balance is a method to reduce vibration by installing balancing screws of different weights on the fan blades to achieve balanced rotation. Fan trim balance can be performed on vibration sources from FAN /LPC or from LPT as they are located in one axle, thus influencing each other. The unit of vibration measurement used is Mils which shows the maximum deviation shift distance (Displacement), with a value of 1 mils = 0.001 inch, or in microns with a value of 1 μm = 1x10-6 m. According to the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) instructions, the recommended maximum vibration limit is 2 mils, for some airlines the vibration limit is tightened to 1.0 mils. Based on ISO 20816-2 standard, the recommended vibration value is 2.5 mils, with an operating threshold of 5.3 mils. The Fan Trim Balance process begins with the engine run-up process to obtain engine vibration data. During the run-up process, the EVMU will record vibrations at N1 levels of 64%, 84%, 88%, 92%, and 96%. Once the data is collected, your EV will adjust the position and size of the balance screw, which will then be replaced at the base of the fan blades. After adjustment, the engine re-run-up to review the magnitude of the vibration. The trim balance process will be repeated until the vibration level matches the specified parameters. The ratio of vibration levels before and after the trim balance process on Engine 1 is 1.5 Mils and 0.4 Mils, with a difference of 1.1 Mils, while on Engine 2 is 1.8 Mils and 0.5 Mils, with a difference of 1.3 Mils. In this case, the Airbus A320 aircraft requires two trim balance processes to ensure that the vibration level in the engine meets the feasibility parameters.

Abstract

A fuel cell converts the energy in the chemical reaction of a continuously supplied fuel and its oxidizing agent into electrical energy. Fuel cells are used in various industries, including the automotive industry. In this context, fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) have emerged as a promising alternative that offers zero emissions and competitive performance. This work was conducted to obtain a fuel cell design and determine the fuel cell modeling that suits the needs of FCEVs. The Pahl and Beitz method with QFD is used. It was found that the type of fuel cell used is PEMFC (Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell) with platinum electrode material, and the fuel used is hydrogen on a small scale. Overall, fuel cell dimensions were 175 x 259 x 175 mm, and the number of fuel cell stacks that can be arranged is 35. With this geometry, the factor of safety value obtained at the stack fuel cell is 26, and at the end plate fuel cell 2.4, this value indicates that the PEMFC design is safe. Then, the output voltage is 50.55 V, and the output current is 25.27 A, so the power generated is 1.277 kW.

Abstract

This research presents the conclusions of the testing conducted at PT. Daekyung Indah Heavy Industry, focusing on the Quality Control process applied to pressure vessels. The Quality Control process involves Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) using the Radiography Test (RT) method. This testing is performed using gamma rays generated by Iridium-192 and applied to a vertical pressure vessel intended to function as a Gas Dehydration Filter. The area under examination is one of the Weld Parts with NC Code on Manhole M1 24 Inch, with SA516-70N material and a thickness of 18 mm, and the entire testing process is conducted with reference to ASME BPVC Section VIII Division I UW-52 as the standard. The test results indicate that out of the 7 areas tested, 5 areas showed indications of defects. Among the 5 areas with defects, there was 1 porosity defect in area A-B and 4 slag inclusion defects in areas B-C, D-E, F-G, and G-A. The repair process required for both types of defects is the removal of the weld groove followed by re-welding until no defects remain in the repaired weld joints.

Abstract

This study investigated the hydraulic system on Airbus A320 aircraft, focusing on the problems that often occur with hydraulic accumulators as well as the maintenance steps required. The Airbus A320 hydraulic system consists of three main systems, namely the Green, Yellow, and Blue hydraulic systems, which play an important role in the operation of vital systems in the aircraft. Periodic checks of nitrogen pressure in hydraulic power accumulators, in accordance with AMM guidelines, are key in preventing hydraulic system problems. Common hydraulic accumulator problems, such as hydraulic leaks, pressure drops, and internal leaks, are often caused by insufficient prefill pressure or too high a fill pressure. Necessary maintenance measures include pressure checks in accordance with AMM standards and pressure adjustments if required. By understanding common hydraulic accumulator problems and their maintenance, aircraft technicians can maintain hydraulic system performance in optimal conditions, ensuring the safety and optimal performance of the aircraft during operation.

Abstract

Plastic waste is a type of waste that is difficult for the soil to decompose and of course its volume increases all the time, however we still need plastic in our daily lives for various needs, for this we need tools that are able to recycle plastic so that it can be reused and become more valuable material. In recycling plastic waste, plastic shredding machines are used to chop plastic waste with various types of cutting edges, various manufacturing methods and various types of chopped products that are formed later. The aim of this research is to recreate or manufacture plastic chopping cutting edges by testing PET plastic chopping with different masses, by manufacturing using a hand grinder as the cutting tool. On a PET type plastic cup with a mass of 20 grams, it took 215 seconds to produce a chop with the smallest dimensions, namely 1mm – 6.35mm. With the cutting blade that has been made, it can chop PET type plastic with the smallest dimensions possible.

Abstract

The textile industry is growing very rapidly, the dye waste produced if thrown away can damage the environment. The dye waste can be degraded by electrocoagulation process or using photocatalyst. Electrocoagulation is a process of destabilizing a suspension so that it forms or flocs that are easily separated with the help of an electric current. Titania nanotube arrays are a commonly used photocatalyst. This catalyst is activated when exposed to light. The present study has investigated the impact of pH on the integration of electrocoagulation and photocatalysis processes. From the research conducted, it was found that the best waste degradation electrocoagulation process was at pH 10 with a decrease in dye reduction of 67.72%, for the photocatalyst degradation process the best results were at pH 10 with a decrease in dye reduction of 30.76%. The optimal conditions for the combination of photocatalysis and electrocoagulation were obtained at pH 10 with a reduction in dye waste of 71.6%.

Abstract

Failing Blowing is an imperfect preform blowing process. The defective form can be a puckered preform, a leaking bottle or a puckered bottle. Blowing failure is influenced by three main parameters, namely preform, preblow and blowing temperatures [1]. Then data was taken with variations of the material used, namely preform materials from internal and external. This is not intended to assess the effectiveness of the amount of production using a particular material, but makes a reference in analyzing the problem of failed blowing with different material variations. The analysis stage is carried out using the fishbone diagram method. The results of the analysis found the cause of blowing failure and a significant difference in numbers from the blowing failure data taken on internal and external preforms. The main possible causes of failure to blow settings are inappropriate parameters. The number of blowing failures in internal materials was obtained as many as 23 and in external materials as many as 8 bottles. Then the main parameter settings used in internal materials with a preform temperature of 107oC, a preblow pressure of 6.7 bar and a blowing pressure of 22 bar. While in external materials the preform temperature is 106oC, the preblow pressure is 6.7 bar and the blowing pressure is 22 bar. Looking at the type of material alloy of internal and external preform, this has a difference where the external preform is a preform with 100% PET (virgin) resin while the internal preform is a combination of 25% Recycle PET and 75% PET. This will obviously greatly affect the characteristic properties of the material.

Abstract

Clean water is one of the basic needs for living creatures, especially humans, such as for drinking, cooking, washing, and so on. Natural sources of clean water have become increasingly rare in recent years, while the water that is available is increasingly polluted and contaminated by human and industrial activities. For this reason, various efforts are needed to process the available water into potable water that is suitable for drinking. One easy and cheap way to treat clean water is by distillation which utilizes solar radiation heat, known as solar distillation. The use of solar distillation technology generally has very low productivity, so it is necessary to develop technology so that productivity can be increased. This paper shows the effect of adding Cu-O nanoparticles to the absorber plate coating paint located at the bottom of the basin of a solar-powered distillation device to increase the productivity of clean water resulting from distillation. Variations in the concentration of Cu-O nanoparticles coated on the absorber plate are: 10%, 15% and 20% by weight of the black paint used. Experimental results show that there is an increase in efficiency of 6.66%, 16.91% and 27.93% for Cu-O concentrations in black paint of 10%, 15 % and 20% by weight respectively.

Abstract

Perturbation in a system is one of the troublesome matters in dynamics, vibration, and control. It is not only changing the system behavior but also possibly causing a mechanical failure. This paper presents the effect of perturbations on the decay curve of a damped vibration system. The perturbations are varied from single to multiple forces to give novel knowledge completing previous studies. Additionally, the system properties i.e. damping and stiffness are also varied to provide more meaningful comprehensive information and, thus, can be used in further vibrational system developments. The result shows that the multiplication of perturbation force significantly changes the decay curve slope with unique characteristics. The variation of damping and stiffness also affects not only the vibration amplitude but also the system resonance.
