Abstract

This study analyzes the performance of the diesel engine in terms of power, torque, specific fuel consumption, and thermal efficiency using diesel and pyrolysis oil. The waste plastic oil (WPO) used in this research was produced through a pyrolysis process using raw materials from Low-density Polyethylene (LDPE) mixed with diesel fuel in volume ratios WPO10, WPO20, WPO30, WPO40, and WPO50. In addition, a performance test was carried out on the single-cylinder diesel engine test bench. The results showed that performing the diesel engine with the addition of WPO increased the average power and torque by 5% and 3%, thereby producing a higher heating value. Furthermore, the concentration of WPO also reduces the level of specific fuel consumption to be more efficient, with a decrease in thermal efficiency. In conclusion, plastic waste pyrolysis oil is a promising alternative fuel applicable to a diesel engine.

Abstract

Research on the effects of the use of the range extender developed for a small commercial electric vehicle was presented in this paper. The range extender has a maximum output power of 2.65 kW. The developed auxiliary power unit consists of a three-phase generator propelled by an industrial low-power spark-ignition engine. The exhaust system was improved using a more efficient muffler. The implemented motorcycle muffler has a three-way catalyst (TWC) integrated inside. The use of the more advanced exhaust system aimed at reducing noise and exhaust emissions of the range extender. The efficient operation of the three-way catalytic converter requires a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. To enable desired air-fuel ratio a fuel system was modified. In the first stage of research, the effects of improvements of the exhaust system on the range extender noise emissions were quantified. The next step covered the research of the fuel conversion efficiency, the exhaust gas composition, and the efficiency of conversion of the three-way catalyst. A significant decrease of noise and toxic gas emissions and an increase in the fuel conversion efficiency were revealed. The mentioned research was conducted in stationary conditions. After that, in the final part research of the running vehicle with the range extender on was made. The beneficial outcome of these tests enabled the development of a set of rules of the control of the range extender.

Abstract

This paper reports the use of External Magnetic Field-Tungsten Inert Gas (EMF-TIG) method in butt joint applications to determine the effect of welding arc compression on the quality of butt joint of SS 304 thin plate was reported. The welding process was performed without using filler or autogenous welds. The external magnetic field was generated by placing a magnetic solenoid around the TIG welding torch. The results of this study showed that EMF-TIG welding can produce a more uniform bead width along the weld line compare with conventional TIG. Moreover, the D/W ratio obtained under external magnetic field was higher than without magnetic. However, the tensile strength of butt joint decreased with EMF-TIG because there is constriction in arc welding which produces shrinkage weld pool volume. In addition, high welding speeds result in a decrease in the tensile strength of both conventional TIG and EMF-TIG welds.

Abstract

A new bogie frame of Light-Rail Transit (LRT) is having its strength of structure verified with experimental static testing according to EN 13749 standards. Static testing of bogie frame structure of LRT is performed by using a combination of seven tensile and compression loads that comprise of operational loads (normal service) and over-loads (exceptional service). Measurement parameters of bogie frame are strain and deflection values. The strain and deflection values resulted at every step of the load test were measured and monitored to further be used as analytic data. This data is then compared to the stress data of finite element analysis to check its deviation value. Testing results show the maximum stress value is 81.48 MPa on operational load, meanwhile, for exceptional load case, maximum stress is 120.96 MPa and deflection value is 1.25 mm. The maximum stress value is still below yield strength of bogie frame material S 555J2 (y=355 MPa). According to testing data, structure of bogie frame LRT fulfill as the acceptance criteria.

Abstract

It has been a year after the announcement of Covid-19 outbreak in Wuhan. Activity restriction, implementation of health protocol, and lock-down are enforced to cut-off the spread of this virus. However, in the uncertainty towards a new normal, the mobility of people continues for various purposes. A rapid medical check-up at the airport or at railway stations is possible by the local authorities but it is impossible for public bus passengers due to the limitations of medical staff and a large number of bus stations. Most passengers also failed to comply with the government's recommendation to conduct a rapid test before using public buses. As anticipation, the Transportation Agency issued a regulation that all buses can only be filled with 50% (max) of their normal capacity by emptying 2 of the 4 seats in a row. As a consequence, a 32-seat bus can only be filled with 16 passengers (max) and the ticket price has doubled to cover operational costs. However, passenger interest in bus services has decreased due to high ticket prices. Therefore, this short article reports the smart actions of several bus companies in Indonesia to create a "Captain Seat", a 1-1-1 bus seat configuration to ensure physical distancing between passengers. With the captain seat model, buses with 32 seats are modified to 24 seats, the ideal distance between passengers during a pandemic can be maintained, the risk of loss to bus companies can be reduced, and passenger costs can be lowered.

Abstract

The desulphurization process of diesel fuel is carried out to reduce the amount of SO2 emissions that can cause acid rain. However, the desulphurization process in diesel fuel not only removes the sulfur compounds but polyaromatic and polar compounds are also eliminated during this process. The loss of these two compounds can reduce the lubricity properties of diesel fuel. Therefore, it is necessary to add an additive compound that can increase the lubricity properties. In this research, 2-hydroxyethyl ester (HEE) was synthesized as an additive to increase the lubricity of diesel fuel. This compound was synthesized through the transesterification reaction of soybean oil and ethylene glycol with K2CO3 as the base catalyst. The composition of the synthesized additives was analyzed using the Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Based on the results of GC-MS spectrum analysis, it is known that the 2-hydroxyethyl ester compound has been formed with a yield of 66.5% (relative to the area of the chromatogram peak). The HEE compound obtained is a mixture of 2 hydroxyethyl palmitate, 2 hydroxyethyl linoleate, 2 hydroxyethyl stearate, 2 hydroxyethyl arachidonate, 2 hydroxyethyl nervate, and 2 hydroxyethyl behenate.
