Abstract

The cement industry though the backbone of modern construction and civilization is associated with the emission of diverse atmospheric pollutants with numerous attendant effects on the balance of ecosystem, human and environmental health and the global climate in general. Despite the huge advantages derivable from the industry, exploitation and processing of cement must be done in a sustainable manner to prevent irreversible damage to human, animal and vegetation health as well as the environment. Research papers were reviewed from different databases like ScienceDirect, ResearchGate, Google scholar, and Scopus the chief air pollutants are the inorganic gaseous emissions (carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), oxides of sulphur SO2), particulates of various size ranges and elemental emissions. The present study carries out holistic review of the cement production process with a view to identifying the principal air pollutants, sources and associated environmental issues. The study also reviews the pollution control measures currently in use and calls for a concerted effort from researchers, industry operators and regulators at working to reduce emissions with a view to upholding environmental sustainability.

Abstract

This research investigated the role of silica on palm kernel shell (PKS) as friction lining materials in automotive brake pad production. The friction materials were crushed, milled and sieved into four different particle sizes of 100, 150, 200 and 350 µm. The formulations weight percentages employed included Resin (20%), steel slag (15%) and carbon black (5%) while palm kernel shell and silica were varied for each particle size. Individual formulation was mixed for about 10 minutes until formation of homogeneous mixture. Homogeneous formulation A, B, C and D respectively, was compacted into mould and later sintered at 150 oC for 10 minutes in electric furnace and subsequently treated to enhance quality. Produced samples were characterized and evaluated for surface hardness (SH), compressive strength (CS), flame resistance (FR), oil absorption (OA), water absorption (WA) and wear rate (WR). The particles were also characterized using Scanning Electron Microscope. The results revealed that sample D had highest SH and CS values of 105.5 Brinell hardness number (BHN) and 115.2 N/mm2 respectively with decreasing values as particle size increases. FR decreased from samples A to D, and also decreased as particle size increased. Deductively, Sample B with the sieved grade of 100 µm was the best with SH as 99.14 BHN, CS as 105.6 N/mm2, WR as 4.15%, FR as 38.98%, and WA rate as 4.26 % and CF as 0.45 and OA rate as 0.381%. Conclusively, this research developed a high quality eco-friendly PKS particle composite for the production of brake pad.

Abstract

Limited storage of perishable agricultural products is a common problem for small-scale farmers. Therefore, our approach for this problem is to develop a low operating cost mini cold storage using solar energy. The integration of solar thermal energy with vapor absorption refrigeration systems was studied. In vapor absorption systems, heat energy is taken as the source of input energy and the performance characteristics depend on heat energy supplied and pump work used. The novelty of our project is that it uses a parabolic solar heat collector to run a vapor absorption refrigeration system using heat energy extracted from solar energy. In this cyclic process, the refrigerating effect is produced. By utilizing this mini cold storage system, tomatoes can be stored for four weeks whereas, with room temperature storage, it only lasts one week. This appropriate technology promises small-scale farmers to keep their perishable agricultural products for several weeks without additional storage costs.

Abstract

This research aims to design an induction heating system and to investigate the effect of power supply and specimen diameter on specimen temperature and frequency on the coil. This study began with the development of an induction heating system that made use of circulating coolers outfitted with Thermoelectric Cooler Materials (TEC). It was intended to keep the temperature of the coil and the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) as low as possible. This study used AISI 4140 steel material with diameter variations of 7 mm, 14 mm, 21 mm, and 28 mm, with power levels of 60 W, 240 W, 540 W, and 960 W. The temperature was measured using a thermocouple connected to the specimen, and the frequency value obtained was measured using an oscilloscope. The research findings show that varying the applied power affects the frequency of the coil and the temperature of the specimen, with the higher the power, the faster the temperature of the specimen rises. The 60 W power can heat the specimen at an average temperature of 470°C and a frequency of 102 kHz. When the power variation is 960 W, the temperature in the specimen is 746°C, and the frequency is 110 kHz. On the temperature and frequency gradient pattern in the 0-600 s period, there are two stages, the first of which is ferromagnetic and the second of which is paramagnetic.

Abstract

Only a few countries in the world have rich energy resources like Indonesia which owns practically all-natural energy resources, including biological resources. Japan, a country renowned for its technological advancements, lacks sufficient land to cultivate crops used as raw materials for biofuels. Several countries near the north pole, do not expose to sunlight throughout the year like Indonesia, which impacted to development of solar energy to provide electricity. Therefore, this short article reviews the three main energy sources available in Indonesia for the transportation sector, which include: natural gas and coal as new energy sources; natural energy for electricity and hydrogen supply, and energy from biological sources.

Abstract

The bogie frame is the main structure of the train that supports the train's loads during its operation. These structures are subject to fatigue testing to ensure their design life is up to the required standards. The urban light rail transit (LRT) bogie frame used in the Greater Jakarta area is newly designed and manufactured by a commercial railway rolling stock manufacturer. The design lifetime of this newly designed bogie frame structure under various fatigue load conditions is verified experimentally by fatigue testing. Testing and evaluations were conducted following the EN 13749 standard and VDV recommendation. The fatigue test of the urban LRT bogie frame structure was carried out in the test hall of the BPPT Structural Strength Technology Center (B2TKS) using a combination of seven loadings. The bogie frame was subjected to two variable types of fatigue loads, namely driving in curves and passing points (switches), with 2,000,000 cycles, 4,000,000 cycles, and 6,000,000 cycles of fatigue loadings. The parameter measured on the bogie frame structure is the strain value during the test using a dynamic data logger. The stress values analyzed are the average stress and the stress amplitude and then plotted on the maximum and minimum stress curve. The bogie structure is inspected by the non-destructive test method in all areas of its welded joints. This inspection is carried out before and after the test to ensure whether there are cracks caused by fatigue loads. The results of the fatigue test on the bogie structure under the variable fatigue load conditions show that the maximum stress value of 91.71 MPa at 1,500,000 cycles, that occurs during the test, does not exceed the fatigue limit of the material, and there are no cracks in the structure after the test is carried out for up to 6,000,000 cycles.
