The use of electric arc welding techniques with wrapped electrodes (SMAW) in joining rods in steel building construction and machinery involves several parameters that influence the welding results. These parameters include electric current and polarity, welding speed, penetration, as well as other standard conditions such as electrode diameter and type. Various electrode angles, current streng…
Pump as Turbine (PAT) is a term that refers to a pump that can function as a turbine. The pump converts fluid flow into mechanical energy when operating as a turbine. This allows the use of the same device to deliver fluid to a place (as a pump) and generate energy if the direction of fluid flow is reversed (as a turbine) with the type of pump used being a centrifugal pump. Problems regarding e…
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) is a welding technique that uses heat energy to melt the base metal. The heat generated from this process can reach temperatures up to 1,500 °C, which means that each weld area will experience different heating and cooling rates. This study aims to determine the effect of electrode angle variation on the welding results and to identify the welding outcomes on …
The need for energy currently continues to increase, while the availability of fossil energy is decreasing. Therefore, various efforts have been made to find alternative fuels that are renewable and environmentally friendly. The Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources in Ministerial Regulation No. 12 of 2015 has determined that Indonesia will gradually implement biodiesel. When compared to die…
This study examines the impact of bilge keels on the performance of a tourist boat prototype within the context of the National Unmanned Fast Boat Contest. Computational methods were used to simulate and analyze the resistance, stability, and wake flow patterns of the boat with variations in the shape, width, and position of the bilge keels. The method used in this research is Computational Flu…
This study discusses the Performance of Organic Rankine Cycle with a Capacity of 560 Watts with Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches. ORC is a modification of the conventional rankine cycle, where in ORC the working fluid is an organic fluid or refrigerant which has a low boiling point, so that at low temperatures it is capable of producing steam. The working fluid used is R134a obtained from reference…
Developments in the field of aerodynamics are found on the body, this aims not only in appearance, but also the effectiveness of the body in overcoming drag forces and lift forces. This research will lead to a large bus body, which will analyze its aerodynamics until the Cd value is obtained so that the drag force that occurs on the bus can be known. In this study using the Computational method…
This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the sheeter machine by calculating the value of overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and six big losses and conducting scheduling design using the calculation of mean time between failure (MTBF) and mean time to repair (MTTR) on the sheeter machine at converting 1 PT. Riau Andalan Pulp and Paper (RAPP). OEE is a measure of the level of effectiven…
The national unmanned fast boat contest (KKCTBN) is one of the competitions organized by DIKTI to develop knowledge in the field of shipping to improve the quality and quality of the Indonesian maritime world. The catamaran ship is a ship with a multihull so that, where the two hulls are connected by a strong deck construction and stretch over it to withstand bending moments and shear forces th…
The KKCTBN is one of the important student agendas organized by the Indonesian Talent Development Center in terms of developing digital maritime technology innovations in order to contribute to the idea of supporting tourism which is currently a major issue in the country of Indonesia. Therefore, this is what causes the need for technological development in the field of shipping. One of the dev…
ABSTRACT Piping systems are an essential component in many activities where the main purpose is to transport fluid from one piece of equipment to another. There are many types of fluids that pipes can transport, be it safe fluids or hazardous fluids. Damage to pipelines can be in the form of leaks, blockages, and ruptures causing personal injury, facility damage, environmental damage, and econ…
(1)Potatoes are a type of horticultural crop whose tubers are consumed. Apart from being a substitute for rice, now many potatoes have been processed into various types of food that are more attractive and have high economic value. (2)One of them is stick-shaped french fries, or better known as french fries. (3)This French fries cutting machine is designed to improve the quality and capacity of…

Technological advancements, particularly in the design of electric motors, have paved the way for the development of electric vehicles in Indonesia. Competitions such as the Indonesian Electric Car Contest (KMLI) and the Formula Electric Student Competition at the Indonesia International Motor Show (FESC IIMS) have demonstrated progress in the adoption of this technology. The primary focus of t…
At present, there are many applications that facilitate users in analyzing problems, especially in the field of engineering, such as Inventor, Solidworks, Abaqus, and so on. However, these commercial applications come with a relatively high cost, heavy software size, and strict licensing rules. This, of course, raises concerns for users, especially mechanical engineering students at the Univers…
Every machine element that moves and comes into contact will experience failure. This is due to contact between two objects or friction. In other words, friction will definitely occur when objects move and contact each other. This friction that occurs can cause damage or loss of particles from a material, which is called wear. Wear occurs when two objects press and rub against each other. To pr…
