Abstract

The performance of modern racing motorcycles is greatly influenced by their aerodynamics. Slipstreaming occurs during a race when a rider closely follows another, especially on a straight track. The effect can reduce aerodynamic drag and increase the overall speed of the rider behind. This study investigates the aerodynamic effects of slipstreaming on a racing motorcycle using computational fluid dynamics. This study also considers its effect on both drag force and downforce, which affects motorcycle stability. A 3D CAD model of a racing motorcycle and a rider in a crouching position was used as the object of research. CFD simulations were carried out using the RANS Steady State solver with the k-ω-SST turbulence model. The simulations evaluated the effect of varying distances between motorcycles on slipstream performance, as well as varying motorcycle speeds. The results show the effect on drag force and downforce for the trailing motorcycle. This is due to the shielding effect of the motorcycle in front, which creates a low-pressure zone behind it. Additionally, the turbulence behind the racing motorcycle also affects its downforce. Optimizing the distance between motorcycles in the slipstream allows riders to improve overtaking performance. It also reduces adverse effects on motorcycle stability caused by the slipstream's influence on downforce. Furthermore, it can be used to develop aerodynamic modifications to racing motorcycles that can utilize the slipstream more effectively.

Abstract

Separators in supercapacitors have an important role as intermediaries for ions that pass during the charge-discharge process and affect the performance of supercapacitors. Therefore, a comprehensive study is needed related to separator characteristics, including morphology, pore size, diameter, functional group, and electrochemical performance of separator membranes from PAN/PVDF composites. The separator membrane was synthesized using the electrospinning method with thickness variation (2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 layers), followed by supercapacitor fabrication with coin cell device. The resulting membrane was then characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). For the result of supercapacitor fabrication with coin cells, Galvanostatic Charge-Discharge (GCD), Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) were carried out to determine supercapacitor performance. FTIR results showed that the PAN/PVDF membrane was successfully composites with the addition of new peaks identified as PVDF and PAN at wave numbers 2243.21 and 881 cm-1. The nanofibers formed have diameters ranging from 319.7 to 339.95 nm. The optimum percentage of electrolyte uptake is obtained at membranes that have 6 layers, which is 318.18% and decreases to 173.68% the thickness is 10 layers. In this study, the optimum supercapacitor performance was obtained in the 6 layers variation with a thickness of 75.91 x 103 nm with a gravimetric capacitance value is 53.36 F/g, the capacity retention is 88.96% after being tested for 500 cycles, the largest curve area of CV, and an ionic conductivity value is 54 x 10-5 S/cm.

Abstract

The use of CNC milling machines to produce components, especially aluminum brackets used for automotive, is one of the advances in the industrial field. The use of CNC milling machines has the advantage of producing processes with speed accuracy, and better workpiece quality than conventional machines. This research investigates energy consumption in the CNC milling process by varying the toolpath motion strategies—Zigzag, Constant Overlap Spiral, Parallel Spiral, and Parallel Spiral Clean Corners—as well as feed rates of 700 mm/min, 800 mm/min, 900 mm/min, and 1000 mm/min. The goal is to find out the best parameters for using energy in the machining process. The material used in this research is Aluminum 6061. The shape tested is a bracket. The simulation was conducted to determine the machining process time using Mastercam software. The simulation results indicate that the Zigzag toolpath motion strategy at a feed rate of 1000 mm/min produces the lowest energy consumption (307.620 Kilojoules) whereas the Parallel Spiral Clean Corners toolpath at a feed rate of 700 mm/min produce the highest energy consumption (457.142 Kilojoules). The selection of appropriate machining parameters has a significant influence on the efficiency of processing time and production costs. By selecting the right toolpath motion strategy and feeding parameters, the manufacturing industry can increase productivity and reduce production costs more effectively.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the implementation of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in coal-fired power plants (CFPP) in Indonesia by determining the reboiler energy demand through steam source analysis. The study uses a representative 3×330 MW subcritical coal-fired power plant (CFPP), with an emission intensity of 1.02 tCO₂/MWh and flue gas CO₂ concentration of 13.8%. CCS modeling shows the reboiler requires about 2.9×10⁹ kJ/h energy, supplied by steam extracted from the plant’s steam cycle. A steam cycle model was developed to evaluate the impact of steam extraction. Potential tapping points analyzed include main steam, cold reheat, intermediate-pressure (IP) extraction, low-pressure to intermediate-pressure LP-IP crossover, and low-pressure (LP) extraction. Main steam extraction with the highest energy content needs the lowest steam mass flow of 355 t/h but causes the highest energy penalty of 57% because of lost electricity production in HP and IP extraction. Cold reheat extraction requires moderate steam flow of 399 t/h and a penalty of 52% but risks overheating reheater tubes. The LP-IP crossover point needs the highest steam flow 414 t/h, yet achieves the lowest net energy penalty at 33.8% with minimal operational risk, making it the most favorable option for CCS integration.

Abstract

Sustainable composites are vital for impact-critical aerospace, automotive, and defense applications. This study used Multiple Input–Single Output (MISO) experimental approach to assess how hybrid ratio, mass fraction, and fiber orientation influence the low-velocity impact behavior of Gongronema/S-glass epoxy composites. Gongronema fibers and S-glass were combined with ER-F292 epoxy and molded into ASTM-standard samples. Charpy impact tests measured energy absorption. A 60-run design evaluated input variable combinations, and Multiple Linear Regression identified significant predictors using p-values and confidence intervals. Results showed that the mean values for hybridization ratio, mass fraction, fiber orientation, and low velocity impact were (2.50), (27.79%), (67.90°), and (3.82 J), respectively. It was found that the mass fraction had significant negative correlation with low velocity impact (r = -0.455; p = 0.000), as did the fiber orientation (r = -0.853; p = 0.000). The results for R = (0.994), R² = (0.989), F = (1607.390), and Durbin-Watson = (2.213) show that the regression model is highly predictive. Regression coefficients indicated negative effects from hybridization ratio (-0.357), mass fraction (-0.032), and fiber orientation (-0.017), all statistically significant (p = 0.000). Residual plots confirmed model validity. The TEM images of confirmation test sample 1 reveal fiber-matrix interfaces with particle sizes between 10.02–26.40 nm. Variations in scale (100 nm and 50 nm) show microstructural differences, suggesting strong adhesion, dispersion aggregation, and anisotropic behavior due to 90-degree fiber orientation within epoxy matrix. The study concludes that strategic optimization of input parameters significantly enhances the impact resistance of hybrid biocomposites.

Abstract

The use of bare metal stents over the long term often leads to the re-narrowing of blood vessels, prompting a shift to drug-eluting stents (DES). However, the use of polymers in DES has been known to trigger inflammation and thrombosis in the arteries. As an alternative, polymer-free drug-eluting stents (PF-DES) have emerged as a safer option. In this study, curcumin was selected as the primary coating material for PF-DES using the electrophoretic deposition method. The effects of varying curcumin concentrations (125 µg/ml, 250 µg/ml, and 500 µg/ml) were examined to understand their impact on deposition morphology, coating weight, chemical bonding characteristics, and curcumin release using scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results showed that increasing the amount of curcumin resulted in a heavier and rougher coating, with deposition weights of 573.22 μg/cm², 1198 μg/cm², and 11954 μg/cm², after coated with curcumin concentrations of 125 µg/ml, 250 µg/ml, and 500 µg/ml, respectively. The curcumin release process was comprised of three phases: an initial burst, a slower release, and a second burst, which completed the release over more than 40 days. The efficacy of curcumin as a coating for PF-DES facilitates a controlled and steady release of the drug.

Abstract

Indonesia's extraordinary marine tourism potential requires innovation in how to enjoy it. This study discusses the innovative design of a semi-submarine glass-bottom ship for the development of marine tourism in Indonesia, which allows tourists to enjoy the beauty of the underwater world safely and comfortably. This catamaran is designed with two hulls that provide high stability and optimal deck area for tourism needs. The study focuses on analyzing the ship's frame structure using the finite element analysis method, especially on using sandwich panels that combine wood and carbon fiber materials to achieve the optimal combination of structural strength, weight, and cost efficiency. Finite element analysis shows that sandwich panels with 100% carbon fiber composition provide the best mechanical performance with a maximum stress of 615.41 MPa. The analysis shows that adding carbon fiber plays a significant role in reinforcement and is a more effective stress distributor than homogeneous materials. Although the 100% carbon fiber formulation provides the highest safety factor, the study recommends a combination of 70% wood and 30% carbon fiber, or 60% wood and 40% carbon fiber for the construction of the ship's hull frame as a more optimal solution in terms of technical and economic aspects. This ship design innovation is expected to become a new tourist attraction that introduces the beauty of Indonesia's underwater world to domestic and foreign tourists while encouraging the development of a sustainable marine tourism industry.

Abstract

This study examined how surface roughness and nanoceramic coating, influences the boiling heat transfer coefficient (BHTC) and critical heat flux (CHF) of a conical cylindrical copper test specimen. Three test specimens exhibiting surface roughness of 0.22 µm, 0.14 µm, and 0.04 µm were analyzed for comparison. Two additional test specimens were treated with nanoceramic coatings utilizing silicon carbide as the base material: one specimen received a single-layer coating and the second was applied with a double-layer coating. The behavior of the bubbles was closely observed with a high-speed camera to deepen the analysis. The experimental results showed that the test specimen with higher surface roughness exhibited higher BHTC and CHF. The 0.22 µm surface roughness specimen demonstrated a 55.69% greater BHTC than the 0.04 µm surface roughness specimen. In contrast, the 0.04 µm surface roughness specimen had the lowest CHF, 426.09 kW/m². Nanoceramic coating also enhanced the BHTC and CHF. The specimen with a single-layer coating had the highest BHTC, 40.81% higher than the uncoated specimen. The specimen with a double-layer coating showed a 60.12% increase in CHF compared to the specimen with a single-layer coating. The bubble observation results indicated that test specimens with higher BHTC and CHF had more active nucleation sites. The quantity of active nucleation sites plays a vital role in producing a large number of bubbles, enhancing heat transfer, and maintaining the surface temperature.

Abstract

Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) silicone cures at room conditions, providing tear resistance and flexibility to a wide range of industries. Yet, its mechanical performance improvement continues to be difficult when it is filled and catalyzed. In this work, the tear resistance of three RTV materials—RTV 48, RTV 683, and RTV M4503—is investigated with different talc (2–4 wt.%) and catalyst (40–60 wt.%) formulations. Tear resistance testing per ASTM D624 yielded average and standard deviation values for material consistency determinations. Comparative analysis is also given in the research to ascertain the effect of over-cross-linking on elasticity and structural morphology. RTV 48 experienced a dramatic decrease in tear strength at high catalyst content due to over-cross-linking and the loss of elasticity. RTV 683 experienced initial improvement through the addition of talc, but excess catalyst caused premature cure and reinforcement loss. In contrast, RTV M4503 showed significant tear resistance enhancement as talc and catalyst were compounded optimally, maintaining structural integrity and reinforcement efficacy. Results demonstrate the crucial role of filler and curing agent concentration interaction in modulating silicone mechanical properties. RTV M4503 featured the optimal tear resistance and stable performance among the compositions assessed, indicating its potential use in applications requiring enhanced durability. This research provides a guide to optimization of additive ratios in RTV silicone formulations, guiding materials and process conditions selection for industrial applications that demand reproducible mechanical strength.

Abstract

Vegetable oil-based cutting fluids have emerged as a promising innovation in machining operations, supporting the advancement of sustainable and eco-friendly manufacturing practices. This study delves into the development of a biolubricant derived from corn oil, enriched with 0.15% mass fractions of various nanoparticles, including calcium carbonate (CaCO3), copper oxide (CuO), and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). These nano-cutting fluids were applied through the Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) method during CNC milling of AISI 1045 steel. The investigation focused on evaluating thermophysical properties, including density, thermal conductivity, and dynamic viscosity, as well as tool wear performance. The results demonstrated that CuO nanoparticles yielded the highest density, while MWCNT exhibited superior thermal conductivity and viscosity. Among all samples, the fluid with MWCNT showed the most effective performance in minimizing tool wear. This study highlights the potential of nanoparticle-enriched vegetable-based cutting fluids as high-performance, environmentally responsible alternatives to conventional mineral oil-based lubricants, promoting greener machining in the manufacturing industry.
