Abstract

The high water content of honey can lead to fermentation and accelerate the deterioration of honey. One way to prevent fermentation in honey is to reduce the water content of honey. There are several ways to reduce the water content of honey, namely through a dehumidifier and evaporation. This study aimed to examine the relationship of reduced water content towards time in between dehumidifier and evaporation processes. The research method uses an exponential equation model to determine the value of the constant (K). The constant value (K) is used to predict the rate of reduction in moisture content between the dehumidifier and evaporation processes. The results showed that the water content value after the dehumidifier and evaporation process had met the International Standard (SI) with a moisture content value of less than 19 %. The initial moisture content of honey before processing was 21.335 %, then after going through the process, the moisture content of honey in the dehumidifier and evaporation processes were 16.397 % and 14.625 %, respectively. The processing time required for decreasing the water content of honey in between dehumidification and evaporation processes also shows a very significantly difference; In the dehumidifier process, the process takes 720 min. While in the evaporation process, it is 50 min. The exponential equation to determine the constant value of K (1/min.) for the dehumidifier is y = 21.262e-0.00037x with the value of regression R2 = 0.9943. While the exponential equation formula to determine the constant value of K (1/min.) in the evaporation process is y = 21.961e-0.007x with the regression value represent R2 = 0.9262

Abstract

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are metal alloys with a reversible ability to recover their shape at a certain temperature after being deformed. This ability referred to as Shape Memory Effect (SME). The application of SMAs such as Ni-Ti and Cu-Zn-Al alloys usually used on automotive, biomedical, etc. The commonly used SMA is Ni-Ti because of its superior SME properties than Cu-Zn-Al, even though the price is quite higher. The SME of Cu-Zn-Al might be improved by increasing the presence of the martensite phase in its microstructure by heat treatment. The heat treatment process given to Cu-21Zn-5Al alloy is a homogenizing, annealing, solution treatment process and quenched with brine solution and dry ice. The heat-treated alloys then undergo several examination trough hardness tests, X-Ray Diffraction, metallography, SME test, and Differential Scanning Calorimetry to determine the SME and microstructure of Cu-21Zn-5Al. From the test results, the specimen with temperature treatment solution of 850oC and quenched by brine solution had the highest SME value by 36.67%. All of the microstructure contained α, β, (martensite) and γ phases.

Abstract

A failure happens within the camshaft of the minibus when the vehicle is in utilize. The camshaft was a fracture within the bearing between the primary cylinder exhaust valve and the second cylinder suction. This simulation aims to find the causes of camshaft failure utilizing the finite element method with a static structural approach, including simulations of deformation, strain, stress, fatigue life (stress-life and strain-life), and cracks. The method used in this paper is the finite element method with a static structural approach by ANSYS software. The camshaft material is a gray cast iron designed using Solidworks. Pre-processing includes meshing with a size of 3 mm. The value of loading force (1348.28 N) and torque (113400 Nmm) are fixed, and the boundary conditions are varied. Processing includes the process of computation and post-processing into a part that displays the results. The simulation results show that for all the deformation and strain values that are in the elasticity area of the material, the maximum and minimum stress which is below the strength of the material, the location of the maximum values of deformation, strain, and stress is not at the fault location. The simulation of fatigue life both in stress-life and strain-life results in infinite cycles, which is above 106 cycles, while the simulation of cracks results in a decrease in the cycle. Based on the simulation results with the above parameters to the camshaft, it was found that a failure was caused by a defect characterized by reduced fatigue life at the same loading conditions.

Abstract

The growing need for activated carbon requires alternative raw materials to replace non-renewable raw materials whose existence is decreasing. Biomass is a very promising precursor, one of which is from rice bran. This research concerns the development of activated carbon derived from rice bran. Carbonization was carried out at 600 OC and physically activated with nitrogen flow rates of 150 mL/min for 40, 80, and 120 minutes. The activated carbons produced (AC-D40, AC-D80, and AC-D120) were characterized to determine the surface properties, surface morphology, and adsorption capacity for nitrogen and blue methylene adsorptions. The results showed that activated carbon that activated for 80 minutes (AC-D80) had the best characteristics. With a pore surface area of 109.389 m2/g, a pore volume of 0.083 cm3/g, and pores that mostly distributed in the micropore area, this activated carbon has the highest adsorption for nitrogen (53.874 cm3/g) and methylene blue (87.560 mg/g) adsorptions compared to activated carbon with activation times of 40 minutes (AC-D40) and 120 minutes (AC-D120).

Abstract

Aileron is a control surface that functions as a regulator of roll motion. The movements of the ailerons are opposite to the left and right sides. Previous studies have shown that graphs of hinge moment coefficient (Chm) values increases with increasing angle of attack. This study is to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of aileron by combining the surface area of the vane into the aileron by varying the aileron’s deflection. The calculation is performed using a numerical method in two dimensions (2D) commercial CFD simulation software. The results of the study concluded that the hinge moment coefficient for modified airfoil at δA = -20°, 0°, and 20° was -0.071, 0.078, and 0.177, respectively. These values are smaller when compared to Chm value in basic aileron that was -0.094, 0.095, and 0.201, respectively.

Abstract

The electrochemical corrosion property of ternary Al and quaternary Zr added Bell metal in 0.1M Sodium Chloride solution has been experimentally conducted at room temperature. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) method and Potentiodynamic polarization technique are used to carry out the electrochemical investigation. Microhardness test is also conducted for all three alloys and it reveals that Al addition increases the hardness of bell metal due to the formation of different intermetallic precipitates of Cu and Al. Optical Micrograph as well as Scanning Electron Micrograph have also been studied to characterize their surface condition. It is found that Zr addition refines the grain structure of the alloy and results in increase of hardness. The EIS study reveals that the corrosion resistance is seem to be augmented with the addition of ternary Al and quaternary Zr to bell metal. The potentiodynamic polarization curves disclose that both ternary Al added and quaternary Zr added alloy show better corrosion performance than the base bell metal alloy due to the formation of stable aluminium oxide film. The currentdensity (Icorr) of base bell metal showed higher value than both ternary Al added and quaternary Zr added bell metal alloys. The corrosion potential (Ecorr) and the open circuit potential (OCP) were seen to be moved to the more positive direction for the Al and Zr added alloys. Microstructure and SEM study of the alloys after corrosion revealed a formation of an oxide film on the surface of the ternary A and quaternary Zr added alloys, the probable cause of which is the presence of Al in the respective alloys.

Abstract

Polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the most used materials in FDM 3D Printing. Large-scale consumption of PLA on an industrial scale could cause environmental and efficiency problems. Thus, PLA waste and industry waste need to be recycled to limit excessive waste. This study aimed to investigate the change in mechanical property, morphology, and structure of mechanically recycled PLA. Recycling was performed 12 times using the extrusion process with an extrusion temperature nozzle of 170°C. The SEM, structural analysis, and amorphous-crystalline analysis used XRD. The results showed a gradual decrease of tensile strength from each recycle with a total of 20% (13.22 MPa). The decrease percentage equalled the number of recycling. After the 9th recycle, PLA experienced a drastic tensile strength decrease, in which the 12th recycle tensile strength had a 14% (8.17 MPa) reduction. The morphology analysis of the tensile test sample presented significant morphology change, in which morphology defects such as void, flakes, and cracks appeared after the 6th recycle. Although, until 12 times extrusion, it did not significantly affect the PLA phase shape. Mechanical recycle using a multi-extrusion process is not recommended exceeding six times

Abstract

The use of cellular phones is increasing in society, but due to the limited battery capacity of cell phones, it is necessary to charge the battery when travelling in the long distances. The Savonius type wind turbine has a potential as an energy source harvesting the wind energy flowing around the car. However, due to the available space on the car, careful design of Savonius vertical axis wind turbine for vehicle is necessary. The research is conducted numerically using MATLAB software. The wind speed, Reynolds number, and electric power output are numerically simulated to obtain the swept area design. Innovative PLA material in the design is also investigated by simulating the effect of mass inertia moment to the design. This design of Savonius vertical axis wind turbine for vehicle is expected to charge maximum four cell phone batteries with the total electrical output of 60 W. The optimum swept area design of Savonius vertical axis wind turbine for vehicle is 0.150 m2 using 3 fins, PLA filament material, with an overlap of 5.3 cm, and a diameter for each blade 22 cm according to the overlap ratio used of 0.242. This Savonius vertical axis wind turbine design is feasible as an energy source for vehicle owing to its compact design, innovative material used in the design, and providing the electric power demand in the vehicle.

Abstract

Brass composites can be improved their mechanical properties by the heat treatment process. The improvement of the mechanical properties of this technique is expected to increase the resistance of the composite to erosion that occurs in the environment of flow water. Brass composites used are composites with fly ash 5, 10, 15 and 20%. The heat treatment process was carried out using an electric furnace without protective gas. Composite heat up to 350°C and 400°C for 30 min. and quenching with water. Before and after the erosion test, the weight of the test specimen was weighed with analytical scales. The treatment process affects the tensile strength of brass composites. The heat treatment process of brass composites with 5% fly ash at 350 °C produces the highest tensile strength. Erosion rate testing on brass composites showed the lowest erosion rate occurred on brass composites with 5% fly ash and heat treatment at 350°C.
