Abstract

To obtain the desired results in the manufacturing process, especially the bending process, the occurrence of springback must be reduced. The effective strain rate must be increased to predict the increase in material. This study uses a simulation method to determine the influence of material type and compressive speed variation on spring back and effective strain rate. This study uses 3 kinds of materials: JIS SPHD, JIS A1100 BE, and JIS SN400A, and speed variations, namely: 90 mm/s, 105 mm/s, and 120 mm/s. This study shows that JIS SN400A material has the smallest springback value compared to JIS A1100 BE and JIS SPHD materials because the nitrogen content in JIS SN400A makes it more plastic. At a compressive speed of 105 mm/s, springbacks tend to decrease in JIS SN400A, JIS SPHD, and JIS A1100 BE materials caused by residual stress. The average effective strain in JIS SN400A material increases in line with the increase in compressive speed, because JIS SN400A material has the highest melting temperature compared to JIS SPHD and JIS A1100 BE materials to reduce the risk of residual stress, the nitrogen content in JIS SN400A material also plays a role in increasing the effective strain value.

Abstract

Electrical energy is a vital necessity characterized by ever-increasing electricity consumption. The most dominating power plant in Indonesia in supplying electricity is the steam power plant, which is 50%. In its implementation, there is damage that occurs where the highest damage is to the general unit with the highest damage to the turbine unit. Therefore, the author uses the reliability, availability, and maintainability method or RAM. The purpose of this study is to determine the value of RAM on the turbine system at PLN and provide recommendations for improvements to system performance. The results showed that the MTTF and MTTR values of the components are 112,916 minutes and 7,705.91 minutes, respectively. The MTTF value of the equipment indicates in one year the shutdown occurs 4 to 5 times with a relatively short period of time to repair. RAM analysis is carried out and the value is 4.96% (reliability), 93.612% (availability), and 36.44% (maintainability). It can be interpreted that reliability of the system is low due to the frequency of errors, quite difficult to do a repair procedure, but the system is fairly working in good condition in a year period.

Abstract

Although the organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is said to effectively capture low-grade heat, its commercialization has been limited because of working fluid constraints and inefficiencies resulting from operating at low temperatures. This study reviews the working fluids used in organic Rankine cycles and examines how nanoparticles could enhance the efficiency of the ORC, by enhancing the thermophysical properties of the working fluids. Results from this review showed that zeotropic mixtures of pure fluids, provide a viable approach to improving the thermophysical characteristics of organic working fluids and have the potential to achieve thermo-economic performance superior to that of individual pure fluids. Research results on the relative effectiveness of zeotropic mixtures and pure fluids, however, are conflicting and call for further study. Although nanofluids have shown potential as heat transfer fluids, there has not been much research done on them as organic Rankine cycle working fluids. In comparison to typical nanoparticles, metal-organic heat carriers have been recognized as having substantial potential to improve organic Rankine cycle thermodynamic efficiency. Future study on nanofluids, particularly in zeotropic mixtures, is crucial for the creation of new working fluids for developing ORCs that could achieve a balance between thermodynamic, economic, and environmental performance required to recover low-grade heat and the generation of electricity.

Abstract

Currently, composite board manufacturing using natural fiber has the potential to be expanded due to environmental awareness. To produce high-performance natural fiber, treatment is needed to improve natural fiber’s mechanical and physical properties. One of chemical treatments is by using sodium chloride (NaCl). This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of sisal fiber after NaCl treatment. The concentrations of NaCl treatment were 1, 3, and 5 (wt.%) at room and boiling temperature and the soaking duration was 1 hour. Meanwhile, tensile strength, strain, and Young’s modulus were tested to evaluate the mechanical properties. Fiber bundle diameter, weight change due to treatment, and contact angle were tested to assess the effect of NaCl treatment. Sisal fiber bundle was treated with 5 wt.% NaCl for 1 h exhibited the highest value of tensile strength, Young’s modulus, reduction of fiber bundle diameter, percentage of weight change, and decrement of contact angle in comparison with untreated fiber bundle. Treatment with 5 wt.% NaCl at boiling temperature successfully increased the tensile strength and Young's modulus by 48.39% and 76.8%, respectively, compared to untreated fibers. NaCl treatment was shown to be an effective method to improve the mechanical properties and wettability of fibers, which has potential for application in high-performance plant fiber composites. The surface of sisal fiber treated with 5 wt.% NaCl at boiling temperature appeared rougher than that of the untreated one. In addition, this treatment also reduced the contact angle between the fiber and the adhesive by 38.71% compared to the untreated.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop biodegradable Mg-6Zn hydroxyapatite (Mg-6Zn HAp) biocomposites for potential use in bone replacement applications. The hydroxyapatite (HAp) powders, sourced from cow bone, were synthesized through an eco-friendly and cost-effective process, leveraging bioresources for material sustainability. The Mg-6Zn and HAp powders were mechanically mixed through ball milling for six hours to ensure homogeneity. The resultant powder mixture was then subjected to isostatic pressing at a high pressure of 570 MPa, forming a dense coin-shaped composite with a 1.5 cm diameter. This coin was consolidated in a capsule furnace at elevated temperatures for one hour to enhance material integrity. The Mg-6Zn HAp alloy was thoroughly characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) to assess phase formation and crystallographic structure, and Scanning Electron Microscopy coupled with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) to examine microstructural features and elemental composition. For composite preparation, varying amounts of HAp (5%, 8%, and 12%) were incorporated into the Mg-6Zn matrix. SEM analyses revealed a uniform distribution of HAp particles along the boundaries of matrix particles, enhancing composite structure and stability. Results demonstrated that with an increase in HAp content, there was a corresponding improvement in the relative density and hardness of the composites. The corrosion rate decreased with higher HAp content, indicating improved biocompatibility and stability in physiological environments. This suggests that the Mg-6Zn HAp biocomposites, with their tailored microstructure and enhanced mechanical properties, hold promise for use in biodegradable bone replacement applications.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is as a source of information to study the potential of tidal energy at the estuary of the Maro River in the waters of Merauke Regency. This study uses a quantitative method, while the method for determining the location of the study used is the purposive sampling method where the data collection point is right at the end of the estuary of the Maro River because it faces directly onto the Arafura Sea. Tide data for 5 months, namely September 1, 2023 to January 31, 2024 with a pool area of 1,260,000 m2, with the consideration that from September to January there is a change of seasons that can significantly affect the tidal pattern. The tides are measured in two periods, namely the first tidal period starting at 01.00 AM to 12.00 AM and the second tidal period occurs at 01.00 PM to 12.00 PM. From the research data, it was obtained that the highest tides were in January 2024, namely the first-period tidal height difference of 5.333 meters and the energy produced was 5.292 kWh, and the second-period tidal height difference was 5.383 meters the energy produced was 5.349 kWh. The results of this study can encourage diversification of energy sources in Merauke and increase regional energy security as well as provide the data needed for further research and development of renewable energy technology, which can accelerate innovation of new technologies in the Merauke Papua region.

Abstract

The increasing interest in coffee in all circles means that coffee production and quality must always increase due to consumer demands. One way to maintain the quality of coffee beans is by breaking them down using a huller machine. This research aims to improve the optimization of coffee machines by modifying the cylinder blades of huller machines with variations of 3, 4, 5, and 7 cylinder blades in terms of static loading design and quality and production capacity of coffee bean breaking. The experiment was carried out using 400 rpm and breaking 10kg of dry coffee cherries every time the sample was taken. The research results show that the best sample collection is the variation of 3 cylindrical blades with the maximum stress and lowest deformation values of 6.67 MPa and 0.000737 mm. In terms of production quality, it shows that the best sampling was the three cylindrical blade variations with 50% whole and good coffee beans. In terms of production capacity, the most significant capacity was the seven cylindrical blade variations with a value of 294.11 kg/hour. Sampling from the four most optimal variations uses the SAW (Sample Additive Weighting) method. The most optimal result from the 4 test criteria, the variation of 3 cylindrical blades is the best because it has the highest score with a value of 0.9754.

Abstract

In the helicopter transmission system, the intermediate reducer is particularly special. It uses bevel gear pairs to change the transmission direction and to transfer the rotational speed effectively. Therefore, an in-depth study of the spiral gear pair is crucial to improve the overall performance of the helicopter rotor system. This study focuses on the study of the thermal-fluid-solid coupling characteristics and one-way steady-state thermal finite element analysis are conducted based on volume of fluid multiphase flow simulation theory to provide strong support for the design and optimization of the helicopter intermediate reducer. Several conclusions could be obtained. Firstly, it could be found that the negative pressure of the gear engagement occurs and the absolute value increases with the rotation speed of the gear moving wall in the flow field. Secondly, the effect force such as the gear decreases with the increase of the rotational speed of the gear moving wall in the flow field. Thirdly, the contact stress could be affected significantly at different working speed while considering the thermal-fluid influence; Finally, by reasonably controlling the speed of the gear, the stress level between the teeth can be reduced while ensuring the transmission efficiency, as well as improving the service life and reliability of the gear reducer.

Abstract

Porous carbon derived from banana peel has been synthesized by increasing the temperature range variation from 180 oC - 270 oC. The prepared carbon was tested in an experiment using double-chamber photoelectrochemistry to see the results of hydrogen production. SEM-EDX, FTIR, and TGA analyses identified all banana peel carbons. Optical and electrochemical properties were analyzed and measured by UV-Vis, Tauc Relationship, and Pearson Absolute Electronegativity. The amount of hydrogen gas produced from the simulation of UV-A visible light irradiation on variations of BP-240, BP-210, BP-180, and BP-Natural. The surface of BP-270 has more pores and can produce the most significant hydrogen of 1566.05 μmol·g-1. The data is compared to the weight loss percentage at a temperature of 400 oC. Generally, the degradation of the weight percentage in banana peel is up to a temperature of 900oC. This value shows that the most significant energy is needed, 1709190.45 Joules, equivalent to 1.0667 x 1025 eV. At the same time, the energy provided by UV-A is 3.099 eV, equivalent to 4.9661 x 10-19 Joule. Based on the average pores formed by the method used in this study, it explains that the temperature at BP-270 has been able to produce hydrogen in the UV-A exotherm. The increase in banana peel carbon pores increases the separation between electrons and holes and reduces the band gap distance. This study designs an efficient, cheap, and environmentally friendly photoelectrochemical system with waste materials to provide alternative energy sources by utilizing visible light energy.
