Screw conveyor is one of material transport equipment in transport bulk materials. When damage will affect the next stage of the production process, a solution in the form of a tool is needed that shortens the fabrication process time of Screw Conveyor, utilizing the pressure from hydraulic cylinder ex excavator against die as the base. To ensure that the tool is able to work optimally with the load received from the hydraulic cylinder pressure 100 tons and upper die 60.28 kg, it is necessary to carry out research using the Finite Element Analysis method of Solidworks Simulation software on material strength of screw conveyor blade bending dies from parameters safety factor and yield strength of Von Misses method with material used is ASTM A36. This research is concluded that strength of die bending blade screw conveyor material which has been made with wall thickness 8 mm meets the requirements with load 981591.347 N, has a maximum stress value using the Von Misses yield strength method of 59 N/mm² in Solidworks simulation and 48.959 N/mm² in manual calculations, this value is lower than maximum allowable stress 83.333 N/mm², maximum displacement value is 0.300 mm, 8 mm wall configuration meets the requirements because it has value 0.108 mm in Solidworks simulation and 0.098 mm in manual calculation. Safety factor value obtained is 4.086, which meets the requirements 3. So that from this research it can be ascertained the ability of the die when given a load of 100 tons during the bending process

Rizky Fajar Sutrimo, Muhamad Fitri — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

While repairing the up-down loader cylinder by the tire company engineering team, a work accident occurred. The loader fell due to movement when releasing the loader cylinder and the loader load which was hanging on the nok, because it was not strong enough to support the loader, the nok fell off followed by the loader dropping. So then the engineering team installed a safety device to withstand the load of the loader if something similar happened, but until now its strength has not been tested. The aim of this research is to analyze the strength of the safety device installed on the loader using calculation analysis and test simulations with Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The research began with collecting load data received by the safety device, then carrying out theoretical calculation analysis and simulations using Solidwork software. And the result it by calculating maximum bending stress is 63,30 N/mm² . Meanwhile, for the strength of the welded joint 424,05 kN, while the actual load received by the welded joint is 6806,891 N. So it can be stated that the welded joint is safe. In the loading simulation using Solidwork software, the maximum stress (57,279 N/mm²⁾, the maximum deformation (0.036mm), and the FOS (4,365). Safety loaders with ASTM A36 material are declared safe because the FOS value is > 2 (safety factor based on static load)

One of the important components in a train is the wheel axle part whose main function is to distribute the load on the train body to the wheels towards the rails. On conventional trains, train wheel axles still often have material failures in the form of cracks and even breaks. The wheel shaft used by conventional trains is solid while the one used in the fast train uses a hollow axle so that the risk is greater. To confirm and confirm the strength of the hollow axle structure, it is necessary to analyze the structure of the hollow axle when receiving static loading due to the load of the train body. The parameters measured are maximum stress, safety of factor, and maximum deformation. The analysis process is carried out using manual theoretical calculations and simulations with finite element methods using ANSYS Workbench software. In the theoretical calculation, the maximum stress value is 59.71 MPa and the safety factor value is 8.87, and the simulation results get a maximum stress of 62.02 MPa, a safety factor value of 8.54, and the maximum deformation that occurs is only 0.086mm. The difference from the theoretical calculation and simulation of the maximum stress and safety of the factor was 3.70% and 3.72%. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the hollow axle is safe because the maximum stress < the material allowable voltage and the safety of factor (SF) value < the material standard value of 4,5

As technology develops, the need for renewable energy is increasing. Ocean wave energy is one type of renewable energy and has high potential due to its abundant availability and unlimited potential range. A wave energy converter is a system that can capture wave energy and convert it into electrical energy. A simple form of periodic motion is an object vibrating at the end of a spring. Therefore it is called simple harmonic motion. The purpose of this study is to verify the performance of the wave energy converter (WEC) pontoon lift vibration based on the principle of forced undamped vibration using the spring constant value to produce optimal electrical energy. This research was conducted by experimental tests on land and on the coast of Tanjung Pasir, Tangerang. The heaving method was used to realize the use of springs in the wave energy converter (WEC). Heaving is the vertical up-and-down motion of a floating structure on undulating water. The lifting motion of a floating structure is the vibration that causes a backward force when the structure is moved from its balanced position. The results of data analysis of the identification of the smallest ocean potential energy without planets using planetary energy reached 0.095 watts, the maximum was 0.986 watts, the smallest reached 121 watts, and the largest reached 955 watts. The resulting speed value is 71.57 rpm and the maximum result is 85.12 rpm. Based on these data, we can produce larger data, which is 955 watts

Waterwheels are a medium for producing electrical energy in micro-hydro power plants sourced from waterways that have speed and height. The energy that can be obtained from a waterwheel should depend on the variation of the blades and the placement of the wheel but, the losses caused by wasted water are large. Therefore, this study makes an overshot waterwheel by using blade variations at the top to reduce losses and see the effect of these variations. This study uses 1 wheel with 4 variables: waterwheel without lid (T), waterwheel top blade closed 1/3 (T 1/3), waterwheel top blade closed 1/2 (1/2), and waterwheel top blade closed 2/3 (T2/3). This wheel uses mahogany wood and the blade cap uses acrylic with a thickness of 3mm. The waterwheel was tested using pipes with sizes and flow rates of 1 m³/hour, 2 m³/hour, 3 m³/hour, 4 m³/hour, 5 m³/hour, 6 m³/hour. The efficiency of the capless waterwheel is greater than the closed-blade waterwheel variation. In this study, the 1/3 closed blade waterwheel (T 1/3) is more efficient because the impact losses of the wheel (T 1/3) are lower at 720.13 when compared to the wheel without a lid (T) 1251.90 and the efficiency of the 1/3 closed blade waterwheel (T 1/3) is much higher at 64.38% when compared to the 2/3 closed blade waterwheel (T2/3) at 33.53%. Therefore, the results of this study show that the 1/3 (T 1/3) wheel is more recommended because it has a high enough efficiency and low impact losses.

The growth of oil palm plantations in Indonesia, especially in Kalimantan and Sumatra, has resulted in an increase in palm oil waste from harvesting and tree care, both in the form of liquid waste and solid waste. As waste, palm fronds and leaves experience natural decomposition for about 4 months, which can cause a very large buildup and become a nest for pests to inhabit before decomposing. Designing an oil palm frond and leaf shredding machine involves designing special blades mounted on a rotating shaft, as well as a strong support structure to handle tough fiber materials, such as oil palm fronds and leaves, by producing flakes that can be used as organic fertilizer or ingredients. animal feed. The aim of this research is to create and test testing machines for chopping palm fronds and leaves showing that different blades have the ability to chop quite fine parts of the leaves with a chop length of between 20 mm and 50 mm, and the hardest part, palm fronds, can also be chopped finely. The amount of time spent is 1 minute and is able to chop 3 palm fronds. In 5 repetitions, an average time of 1 minute was obtained to chop the fronds. Based on the effective capacity of 5 repetitions on 19 blades, the average result was 1.45 kg/minute. Meanwhile, for effective capacity from 5 repetitions on 24 blades, the average result was 1.57 kg/minute and for effective capacity from 5 repetitions on 26 blades, the average result was 1.76 kg/minute

Indonesia is still heavily reliant on fossil fuels, which has become an obstacle to integrating renewable energy into the national energy supply. This dependency also slows down the achievement of the NDC target to reduce emissions by 26%. Meanwhile, renewable energy continues to grow rapidly worldwide, with consumption increasing by around 3% per year. The purpose of this study is to maximize the conversion of heat energy from candle flames into electrical energy using thermoelectric generators (TEG). TEG works by utilizing the temperature difference between the hot side and the cold side to generate electricity through the Seebeck effect. In this research, four TEG modules were installed on candles and arranged in series to test the effectiveness of two types of cooling systems: a heatsink with a fan and a heatsink with water. Data collection was carried out by measuring the temperature and the performance of the cooling systems in generating electricity, which was evaluated based on the voltage, current, and power produced during the candle-burning process. The results showed that the water-cooled heatsink produced higher voltage and power compared to the fan-cooled heatsink. However, the fan-cooled heatsink was more effective in maintaining a stable temperature difference between the hot and cold sides, making it more suitable for long-term use. This study highlights the significant potential of TEG as an environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative energy solution, particularly in utilizing everyday waste heat

Wiwit Suprihatiningsih, Abdul Hamid, Adji Nur Fadilah — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The horizontal-axis wind turbine (TASH) is a wind energy technology that can generate electricity, but its performance still has to be improved. To determine how much an aspect ratio affects wind turbine performance, this study used a horizontal-axis wind turbine with three spiral blades and an aspect ratio of 0,116. The primary performance metrics of horizontal-axis wind turbines with three spiral blades and an aspect ratio of 0,116 are to be measured and examined in this work. Understanding how aspect ratio affects voltage (volts), current (amperes), torque (τ), turbine rotational speed (rpm), and in line with wind speed (ρw) in the process of generating electrical energy is the specific goal. A horizontal-axis wind turbine with three spiral blades and an aspect ratio of 0,116 will be constructed and tested in a controlled setting as part of this research's experimental methodology. The systematic measurement of essential performance characteristics, such as wind speed, torque, turbine rotational speed, voltage, and current, will provide a comprehensive understanding of the wind turbine's ability to generate electrical energy. The TASH experiment 3 spiral blades with an aspect ratio of 0,116 yielded the highest value when tested using a planetary gearbox at 24,23 rpm, 53,09 V of voltage, 1,25 A of electric current, and 30,94 Nm of torque at 5,0 m/s of wind speed. In the calculation of the power coefficient, torque coefficient, and tip speed ratio, the minimum value obtained in the test without a planetary gearbox was 0,0231 at wind speed 2,5 m/s, 0,2183 at wind speed 2,5 m/s, and 0,1059 at wind speed 2,5 m/s. The minimum value is obtained in the TASH test without a planetary gearbox with a rpm value of 105,89 rpm, Voltage 8,60V, Electric Current 0,05A, and Torque 2,85Nm at wind speed 2,5 m/s. A planetary gearbox with a power coefficient of 0,4713 at a wind speed of 4.5 m/s, a torque coefficient of 0,6813 at a wind speed of 4,0 m/s, and a tip speed ratio of 0,7525 at a wind speed of 5,0 m/s was used to test the system and determine the maximum value.
