The Effect of Motorcycle Wheels (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Reconditioning Process on Mechanical Properties and Microstructure

2024-11-22T11:27:04+00:00

Wheels are an essential component of a vehicle. Material damage or failure on casting wheel-type wheels is primarily because these wheels receive a reasonably hard impact load due to uneven road conditions or potholes. This condition makes the wheels unable to function normally, and components must be replaced. Given the relatively high cost of replacing wheels, several options are offered to vehicle owners (consumers) to have their wheels reconditioned. This study aims to analyze the effect of the reconditioning process on the mechanical properties and microstructure of the casting wheel material. The sample material is taken from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) wheel casting wheel in the Disk section for impact testing, Rim for hardness, and microstructure tests. The results are that the reconditioning process affects the mechanical properties and microstructure of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) alloy wheel material. The decrease in hardness value was 68.86 HBW to 61.59 HBW from the conditions before and after reconditioning. The impact test results where the impact energy absorption is greater after reconditioning is 29.24 J, and the average impact value for wheel specimens after reconditioning is 0.2902 J/mm2. The impact energy value before reconditioning is 7.87 J, and the average impact value is 0.0973 J/mm2. The microstructure obtained is hypereutectic, and the reconditioning process has little effect on the dendritic structure.

2024-11-23T11:29:08+00:00

Pembakaran bahan bakar batubara pada pembangkit listrik secara signifikan menyumbang emisi karbon dioksida (CO₂), yang berperan dalam pemanasan global dan perubahan iklim. Metode co-firing digunakan di Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Uap (PLTU) sebagai strategi untuk mengurangi ketergantungan pada batubara sebagai sumber energi utama. Masih diperlukan identifikasi lebih lanjut mengenai potensi penerapan co-firing biomassa dalam skala yang lebih luas dan untuk jangka waktu yang lebih panjang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi berbagai jenis biomassa sebagai bahan bakar co-firing dari segi performance, emisi, dan biaya dengan cara uji laboratorium dan uji bakar langsung. Biomassa yang dipakai adalah sawdust, sekam padi, cocopeat, dan Bahan Bakar Jumputan Padat (BBJP). Hasil dari pengujian didapatkan bahwa seluruh biomassa yang diuji masih aman pada segi performance, serta menurunkan emisi gas buang, dan menghemat Biaya Pokok Produksi (BPP)

Emissions of carbon dioxide (CO₂) resulting from the burning of coal fuel in power plants are a major contributor to global warming and climate change. Co-firing is employed in Coal-Fired Power Plants (CFPP) as a precautionary measure to decrease reliance on coal as the predominant energy source. The possible deployment of biomass co-firing on a bigger scale and for the long term still requires more identification. Through laboratory testing and direct combustion tests, this project intends to assess the performance, emissions, and costs of several types of biomass as co-firing fuel. Seedust, rice husks, cocopeat, and Solid Refuse Fuel (SRF) are among the biomass materials used. All biomass kinds evaluated were found to be safe in terms of performance, reduce exhaust gas emissions, and lower Basic Production Costs (BPP), according to the test report.

2024-12-02T11:43:55+00:00

The need for clean water increases every year, while the means to provide clean water require planning. The importance of water in the realm of education is comparable to that of household needs. Water on the 3rd and 4th floors of Building A often doesn't flow. The aim of this research is to identify the root cause of the insufficient water flow on the 3rd and 4th floors of Widyatama University Building A, and to devise a solution for the water flow distribution system. The research employs a variety of methods, including literature review, data collection, data analysis, results analysis, and interpretation. The conclusion is that the water drainage on the 3rd and 4th floors is 0.612 L/s and 0.510 L/s, which is below the standard (0.9–2 L/s). The drainage of water in the main pipe was uncertain based on its diameter. The solution to this problem is to install booster pumps on the 3rd and 4th floors. The next solution is to change the main pipe diameter to 1 1⁄4".

2024-12-09T07:25:25+00:00

Biomass energy is produced by converting solid raw materials into a more useful compressed form known as briquettes. This study aims to examine the effect of varying compositions of charcoal briquettes using a mixture of cocoa shells and rice husks on the briquette characteristics. The experimental method employs a Completely Randomized Design with four treatments: P1 = 100% cocoa shells, P2 = 75% cocoa shells + 25% rice husks, P3 = 25% cocoa shells + 75% rice husks, and P4 = 100% rice husks. The study finds that the lowest moisture content is in P3 (8.01%), the lowest ash content is in P3 and P4 (4.1% and 3.8%, respectively), the highest calorific value is in P1 (3,658 cal/g), the longest ignition time is in P3 (50 minutes), and the best hardness is in P2 (785.95 N). Based on the results, the best treatment is P3, which achieves a moisture content of 8.01%, ash content of 4.1%, and the longest burning time of 50 minutes.
