PROPERTIES AND MORPHOLOGICAL OF MORTAR CONTAINING USED ENGINE OIL
Get PDFEngine oil has an important role in the design and operation of all automotive engines. Used engine oil is a waste product produced in high quantity in the workshop garage which commonly found in most cities in Indonesia. The utilization of used engine oil has shown potential as retarder by reduce the setting time of mortar. In this study mortar was made by mixing cement,light aggregate, water, and engine oil both new and used as admixture ranged 0-1%. Mortar sample treatment is carried out at room temperature. The samples were tested for setting time and compressive strength after 3, 7 and 28 days curing. Scanning Electron Microscope characterization was carried out to to find out the morphological structure of resulting mortar. Results shown that the mortar with the addition of 0.75% used engine oil has the highest compressive test result of 9.31 MPa when the mortar reached 28 days compared to mortar without engine oil addition has a compressive test result of 7.546 MPa. SEM Images shown there are more ettringite presents in mortar with used engine oil addition

Get PDFGas stations (SPBU in Indonesia) have the potency for fire and explosion hazards due to the storage and distribution of flammable liquids, one of which is Pertamax. This can be a non-military threat in the dimension of public safety because if it occurs, the resulting loss could be very large in terms of material or life. This study aims to determine the risk of fire and explosion at Indonesian gas station. This study uses Dow's Fire and Explosion Index in asimulated case method. The potential for fire and explosion or the value of the Fire Explosion Index (F&EI) in the simulated case is 111,24. The actual exposure radius is 29.62 m and the damage factor to the Pertamax storage tank is 63%. The results of the study have a risk level that is classified as Intermediate, so it is necessary to control risks such as increasing active protection and is expected to be an input in efforts to safeguard against non-military threats so as to reduce the impact of risks and losses that occur in the Pertamax storage tank

THE EFFECT OF GRAPHENE OXIDE ADDITION ON MAGNETIC PROPERTIES OF IRON OXIDE (FE2O3) NANOPOWDER WITH SINTERING AND NON-SINTERING PROCESS
Get PDFGraphene Oxide is a material that has a thickness of one atom composed of carbon atoms to form a hexagonal lattice and a material that has unique properties, namely mechanical, optical, thermal, and electrical properties. Fe2O3 is a material that has magnetic properties and can be used for various applications such as enzyme separation, drug transport, microwave absorption, photocatalysts, biological applications, biomedicine, metal separation, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this study, the addition of graphene oxide was carried out using the coprecipitation method on Fe2O3 nanomaterials that had been treated with sintering and non-sintering. The coprecipitation method is the synthesis of inorganic compounds which is based on the deposition of more than one substance together when it passes the saturation point. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the addition of graphene oxide to the Fe2O3 material can increase the magnetic properties of the Fe2O3 material or vice versa. The result was that the sintering treatment on Fe2O3 GO did not have a transforming effect on its magnetic properties, but instead had a changing effect on its magnetic value. However, the magnetic coercivity value of Fe2O3 + GO 700 ºC increased to 0.038 Tesla. Thus, it can be concluded that at a temperature of 700 °C graphene oxide acts as a barrier from external magnetic fields in the opposite direction
FAILURE ANALYSIS OF SCREW COMPRESSOR AND ITS MODIFICATIONS
Get PDFScrew compressor is one of critical equipment at many industries. Therefore, its reliability and performance shall be maintained. One problem that often arises with screw compressors is the lubrication system. This study investigates the cause of the screw compressor failure and its modification to prevent failure in the future. The failure analysis of the screw compressor was successfully conducted using the fishbone analysis diagram and visual examination. The presence of water in the oil was found due to a change of oil color. The water content analysis showed that 6% of water was found in the oil in the third month. Indeed, the presence of water has a detrimental effect on the screw compressor part, showing that corrosion has occurred in the inner part of the screw ompressor element. We found the water source comes from the air due to high humidity. Therefore, modification in the air supply is needed to prevent water contamination in the oil. The air supply modification is done using dry air at the screw compressor outlet, flowing into the breather system. The modification results showed that the oil's water content decreased significantly from 6% to 0.0035%. In addition, the vibration that occurs decreases from 80 dB to 58 dB. This shows the effectiveness of the modification process to extend the life of the tool and maintain the plant's operational continuity
FLOW FIELD PLATE DESIGN ANALYSIS WITH CROSS-SECTION WAVE RECTANGULAR SERPENTINE USING 3D FLOW SIMULATION ON PROTON EXCHANGE MEMBRANE FUEL CELL
Get PDFThe availability of petroleum which continues to decrease and the level of public consumption which is always increasing are serious problems today. Renewable energy needs to be researched on an ongoing basis to anticipate the availability problems above. Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) is an environmentally friendly source of electrical energy because it only requires hydrogen and oxygen as raw materials and water as a result of the reaction. This study will discuss the PEMFC flow field plate because this component dominates the weight and cost of manufacture. Research on flow field plate PEMFC with wave rectangular cross-section is necessary to develop the PEMFC concept with better performance results. This study aims to determine the effect of the wavy cross-section shape on the distribution of channel average speed, channel outlet speed, inlet pressure, channel average pressure, and channel outlet pressure. This study uses a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) method using SolidWorks flow simulation software. This study provides an overview of the serpentine type of flow field plate with a wave rectangular and rectangular cross-section. The wave rectangular cross-section has a higher average velocity, outlet velocity, inlet pressure, and pressure than the rectangular cross-section. This is what will make PEMFC performance higher. The wave rectangular cross-section has nearly the same number of outlet pressures as the rectangular cross-section. Possible development of this research is the creation of simulation software to calculate other parameters that affect PEMFC performance
