Abstract

This article reports a failure analysis of a diesel generator set connecting rod type 3516 B that has operated for 79,678 hours. From visual observation, connecting rod cylinder #10 has changed color in the shank area. This phenomenon may represent many cases of generator failure, so an analysis to identify the root cause of the failure is needed for scientific literature. In this case, fault tree analysis, SEM-EDX, chemical composition, and microstructure testing were performed to obtain more comprehensive results. Through fault tree analysis, we found that the connecting rod damage was caused by compression leakage due to wear on the cylinder liner. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis shows that the piston rod material is discolored due to heat, namely the formation of iron oxide. The heat level received by the connecting rod is around 200 °C. We also found a finely formed, easy-to-clean scale where the thickness ranged from 0.00127–0.008 mm. Finally, EDX analysis showed high levels of iron (Fe) and oxygen (O) confirming that the formation of iron-oxide on the metal surface was due to the influence of heat.

Abstract

This study investigates and compares the cost of generating electricity from petrol and liquified petroleum gas (LPG) gas using a 2.5 kVA, 50Hz Elepaq generator. It also develops mathematical models that can be used to predict important parameters of the generator The generator is connected with a multi-fuel carburetor in the experimental setup, allowing both fuel sources to be fed alternatively. The electric bulbs of different ratings were connected and varied as load. The generator was first run using petrol. The time used to exhaust half litres of petrol was recorded. It was then run with LPG for a period equal to the time of run on petrol, taking note of the mass of LPG consumed. A cost comparison was carried out and mathematical models were developed for both fuels usage using MATLAB “polyfit” command. The results show that with less or equal 1350W connection of purely resistive load. It is more economical to run the generator using LPG. However, at any load beyond 1350 W, it is economical to run the generator using petrol. The two models developed best fit the experimental results obtained with a correlation of 0.9869 and 0.9962.

Abstract

This study investigates the level of experienced motion sickness when performing reading while being driven in fully automated driving under three different conditions. One condition was without any intervention while the other two conditions were with the visual (VPIS) and haptic (HPIS) peripheral information system. Both systems provided the upcoming navigational information in the lateral direction three seconds before the turning/cornering was done. It was hypothesized that with the peripheral information systems, the experienced motion sickness would be reduced compared to the condition where a peripheral information system was not present. Eighteen participants with severe motion sickness susceptibility were carefully chosen to undergo the conditions using an instrumented vehicle with the Wizard-of-Oz approach. The participants were required to read from a tablet during the whole 15-minutes of automated driving. Results from the heart rate variability (beats per minute, root means square of successive differences, and high-frequency component) indicated no statistically significant changes (p < 0.05) in motion sickness found with the presence of HPIS and VPIS when performing reading when being driven in automated mode. However, results from this study were mixed and inconclusive, but overall findings indicated mild motion sickness was found in both VPIS and HPIS conditions.

Abstract

Circularity is not a new concept. Activities such as reuse or recycling have been around for centuries. Today, an urgent solution to tackle the increasing harmful emissions resulting in severe climate changes is being proposed and investigated. This is because a link between industry and the environment is critically important for business. A more sustainable socio-technical system is therefore urgently needed. There has been a rapid growth of academic articles on the circular economy. The circular economy concept has been considered a solution to many of today’s challenges, including resource scarcity and waste generation.

Abstract

In comparison to ethanol biofuel, butanol is considerably less corrosive, permitting the utilization of existing infrastructures used to ship gasoline or diesel for its distribution. Less corrosive also means that butanol can be utilized with no engine alteration. If butanol is mixed with water, it is less likely to split from the main fuel, thus facilitating the storage and distribution of blended fuels. Butanol also comprises a comparable energy content to petrol fuel, with 25% more energy density/liter as opposed to ethanol. All these excellent qualities have led to higher engine performance, enabling the vehicles to achieve higher mileage using butanol with no significant issue. Several challenges and future research directions are discussed and in the last section of this review article, we emphasize the importance of an optical engine to diagnose engine combustion in more detail. The consequence of using butanol on spark ignition engine on cold start and knock phenomena are also worth investigating. Results on the spray, the pressure inside the cylinder, rate of heat release, and detonation are thus required.

Abstract

Applying magnetic fields to improve the arrangement of hydrocarbon molecules in fuel lines have been continuously studied in recent decades. However, scientific reports regarding the application of a magnetic field integrated with a gasoline vaporizer tube (GVT) on engine performance have not been widely discussed. Therefore, this article presents an investigation of the application of GVT with magnetic field on a single cylinder gasoline engine with three different fuel qualities, including RON88, RON92, and RON98. Torque, power, emissions and fuel consumption have been tested for scientific opinion. The results of our present investigation seem to confirm the claims of GVT inventors, where GVT increases engine torque and power, reduces CO and HC content in exhaust gases, and reduces fuel consumption. However, without considering the supply of gasoline and air from the GVT to the engine is an unfair analysis. In fact, although the established theories reveal the benefits of applying a magnetic field to the fuel line, in this case, only a small part of the fuel is induced by the magnetic field, outside the main line from the tank to the injectors. Finally, the results of this investigation provide new insights for potential users of GVT, which is currently commercially available.
