Abstract

Biodiesel is one of the promising alternative fuels of the future that is environmentally friendly. Biodiesel can be produced from rapeseed, soybeans, coconut oil, jatropha and many others. It is important to analyze the effect of comparison between diesel fuel and biodiesel to study the effect of combustion and emissions of these fuels. In this research, the simulation of combustion and emission is done with Diesel RK. Three fuels are studied; diesel fuel, rapeseed methyl ester (RME) and soybean methyl ester (SME). The engine was simulated at 2000 rpm and the injection pressures were 944, 1191, 1297, 1420 and 1729 bar respectively. The results show that the specific fuel consumption (SFC), particulate matter (PM), and CO2 emissions of diesel fuel are relatively the same for different injection pressures. However, the SFC, PM and CO2 emissions for rapeseed methyl ester and soybean methyl ester decrease with increasing injection pressure. These results can prove that higher injection pressures in diesel engines can improve combustion and reduce emissions of biodiesel fuel as compared to diesel fuel.

Abstract

Indonesia has an abundance of biomass from agricultural, plantation, and domestic waste products. Biomass can be converted into fuels and chemicals that are environmentally friendly. Empty fruit bunches (EFB) are biomass from abundant palm oil processing. Pyrolysis was a thermal process with free oxygen at temperatures between 400-600°C. Generally, pyrolysis was carried out under fast pyrolysis to produce a product that leads to bio-crude oil. One of the main components of bio-crude oil was phenol, which had been produced from further processing of crude oil. With the limitations of crude oil, the production of phenol from biomass pyrolysis was an option for the future, especially for fuels and fuel additives. Thus, it is necessary to investigate the effect of heating rate, temperature pyrolysis, and holding time on pyrolysis products including phenols in bio-crude oil. Slow pyrolysis of EFB was performed at various parameters, including temperatures (400, 450, and 500°C) and holding time (5, 10, and 15 min). Slow pyrolysis of oil palm EFB with variations in temperature and holding time has been carried out by producing liquid between (40 - 42 %weight), gas (19 – 21 % weight), and solid products (38 – 39 % weight). Biocrude oil liquid product showed the highest yield compared to biochar and bio pyrolysis gas. Temperature plays an important role in controlling the production of bio-crude oil as a liquid product, including a component in bio-crude oil. Phenol recovery was more affected by temperature instead of holding time.

Abstract

A brake pad is the most crucial component in motorized vehicles. Many ways have been done and reported on how to prepare resin-based brake pads, but information relating to the economic analysis of resin-based brake pads on a large-scale production is still rare. This study aimed to report a literature review of brake pad production from biomass and agricultural wastes, optimal design of brake pad, and techno-economic analysis of resin-based brake pad production from rice husk. In the techno-economic analysis, we focused on engineering and economic perspectives. Engineering analysis was conducted by calculating the mass balance in the resin-brake pad production process. To support the analysis, economic parameters including gross profit margin (GPM), payback period (PBP), break-even point (BEP), cumulative net present value (CNPV), profitability index (PI), internal rate return (IRR), and return on investment (ROI) were calculated to predict the feasibility of project under ideal condition. We also calculated the techno-economic analysis for the worst cases in the project, calculating the internal problems (i.e., raw materials, sales, utility, labor, employee, fixed cost, variable cost, and production capacity) and the external issues (i.e., taxes and subsidiaries). Based on the engineering evaluation, the resin-based brake pad project is prospective. From economic evaluation, GPM, PBP, BEP, CNPV, PI, and ROI showed positive results, indicating that the project is potential for the large-scale production. This work has demonstrated the importance of the projects for further development and can be used as a reference for further production of brake pads made from agricultural waste.

Abstract

The aerodynamic benefits of a vehicle in a platoon could be distracted by an imposed crosswind on it. The study aims to investigate the alteration of aerodynamic coefficient comprising drag force coefficient, lift force coefficient, side force coefficient, and pressure coefficient of buses traveling in a platoon by considering crosswind. A Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulation was carried out on a detailed bus model. Proposed meshing techniques were also offered. The investigation considered the yaw angle from 0° to 30° and inter-bus distances by proposed coefficient X/L from 0.05 to 1.25. The results in the changes in the aerodynamic performance of both buses were presented. The advantages of platoon configuration were described in more detail when no crosswind was considered in terms of the generated turbulence kinetic energy of the leading and following bus. The results indicated that a crosswind deteriorates aerodynamic benefits during the platoon. The inter-bus distance determines how the airflow around the bus behaves, leading to the variation in aerodynamic advantages experienced by buses. Comparison between the numerical study and experiment indicated a satisfactory correlation of results validation.

Abstract

The article presents a mathematical model for distributed taxi fleet operations. A technological approach based on mathematical models of transport systems using the Hungarian algorithm was used to model the arrangement of repair and maintenance in the absence of centralized management. The literature review on taxi fleet robotics has shown that central management is the cause of increasing transport service costs up to 30%. The results of approximating the cases of repairing and maintaining the taxi fleet in the absence of centralization to the lognormal and Gaussian distributions are provided based on 2019-2020 data. A blockchain scheme for work organization and maintenance of the taxi fleet within the decentralization framework is developed. The statistical analysis of repair and emergency maintenance cases in the distributed taxi fleets calculated per 1000 cars was 3.6 to 15%. Pearson's criterion c2 was from 0.001 to 0.17. Statistical significance values of the results were p≤0.005. A multivariate cluster analysis of the accident or technical failure occurrence among the distributed taxi fleet vehicles was conducted in months, taking statistical data for the last two years. An algorithm that allows performing optimal assignments for a distributed taxi fleet is developed in this work. A sample calculation of the optimal allocation for taxi fleet vehicles distributed in the state of minimum vehicle repair cost based on the Hungarian algorithm was provided. The application of this algorithm also makes it possible to determine the optimal destinations for vehicles in the taxi fleet.

Abstract

The greenhouse effect issue is becoming more serious, and renewable energy is playing an increasingly important role. Among all alternative fuels, ammonia has been attracting attention as a carbon-free energy carrier for hydrogen, because of its large energy density per volume and easy storage and transportation. On the other hand, ammonia has a low combustion speed, which is an important issue for the use of ammonia as a vehicle fuel. To increase the mean flame speed of ammonia, the present study used the burned gas ejected from the sub-chamber for the compression of the mixture in the main chamber and the promotion of its HCCI combustion. Thus, the constant volume combustor with sub-chamber was used to realize the above combustion and to study the combustion characteristics of ammonia and oxygen mixture. In the experiments, initial pressure and initial temperature were unchanged and only the equivalence ratio was changed. The combustion pressure data were recorded and analyzed. As the result, the maximum combustion pressure (2.5 MPa) was obtained when the equivalence ratio was 0.4. The combustion speed was the fastest when the equivalence ratio was 0.6, and the mean flame speed was about 57.5 m/s.
