Abstract

Catalytic converter (CATCO) and its effect on engine performance and exhaust gas temperature became an exciting field in automotive research. In this study purposed to compare existing CATCO which is ceramic and metallic with FeCrAl CATCO that treated with a combination of ultrasonic bath and electroplating technique in 30 minutes holding time (UB+EL 30 min). This study proposed to select an appropriate CATCO that used in a gasoline engine to increase the performance and to reduce the exhaust gas temperature as well as its potential to reduce the exhaust gas emission. Mitsubishi 4G93 conducted this analysis with 1.8 L and 10.5 compression ratio with a variable speed of 100, 2000 and 3000 rpm and different engine load of 10, 20 and 30%. The result shows that the FeCrAl CATCO was more useful to reduce fuel consumption up to 66.42% and increase torque up to 15.79% as well as reduce exhaust gas temperature up to 30.11% as compared to ceramic and metallic CATCO. It can be concluded that FeCrAl CATCO coated by UB+EL 30 min was recommended to increase engine performance and to reduce exhaust gas emission.

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.

Abstract

The Al 6070 is the side plate material of the MTR-fuel plate bundle. These post-irradiation mechanical properties will be used in the side plate cutting process to obtain certain plates from the MTR-fuel plate bundle. This activity is part of a series of post-irradiation test processes from the MTR-fuel plate bundle in order to determine its performance. After testing in the form of a bundle (assembly), then continued testing of certain plates from the bundle. Disassembly of the plate is carried out by cutting along the two side plates (aluminum alloy) that clamp the plate. The mechanical properties of the workpiece material are important factors that affect the conditions of the machining (cutting) process. Prediction of post-irradiation mechanical properties was carried out using the change percentage of before and after irradiation of other aluminum alloys. The prediction carried out with the Si transmutation as the dominant one affects the post-irradiation mechanical properties changes in aluminum alloys. The change percentage added the mechanical properties of the pre-irradiated side plate material of the MTR-fuel plate bundle. Pre-irradiation testing of the Al 6070, namely chemical composition tests, pre-irradiation mechanical properties tests, including hardness tests (micro), and tensile tests (max stress, yield stress, and % elongation). Prediction of changes in mechanical properties of side plate material (aluminum alloy, Al 6070) before irradiation, compared to after irradiation is: hardness value from 98.51 to 127 (gf/µm2), tensile strength from 265.371 to 398 (N/mm2), the yield strength from 204.2 to 306 N/mm2.
