Integrating components in Sukorejo Type B Bus Station includes crossing circulation patterns between people and vehicles. The crossing can cause conflicts that endanger the safety of service users. This study aimed to handle circulation conflicts through the integration of the components applied in the Sukorejo Type B Bus Station can be optimal. This study used a methodological approach such as quantitative, explanation, and planning, referring to the field results and observational surveys. This research used 135 respondents of inter-city transportation within the province (AKDP) and 147 respondents of rural transportation (ANGDES). The results showed the integration performance between the components of the Sukorejo Type B Bus Station through the Normalized Score, which got a value of -100 with good information and indicated by the total circulation distance needed to reach each bus station component in 452 meters for 342 seconds. In Bus Station Type B Sukorejo, circulation crossings caused conflict at as many as 10 points due to the pedestrian crossing activities in private vehicle parking, arrival areas, waiting areas, and public transport departures. The research value of PV2 < 108 meant the need for pedestrian facilities indicated that it was not necessary to handle circulation crossings with pedestrian facilities. It was just sufficient to provide pedestrian warning signs to cross, so that vehicle drivers could be careful in crossing each conflict point.","PeriodicalId":35468,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Engineering Science","volume":"2 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140232421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study endeavours to enhance the strength of S45C material through heat treatment techniques. The research commenced with the preparation of JIS S45C tensile test specimens adhering to ASTM E8 standards. The material's chemical composition was validated using an Optical Emission Spectrometer (OES). Six heat treatment variations were employed, including quench oil without tempering (QO), quenching water without tempering (QW), quenching oil tempered at 660°C (QOT660), quenching water tempered at 660°C (QWT660), quenching oil tempered at 550°C (QOT550), quenching water tempered at 550°C (QWT550), alongside untreated conditions (NT) for comparison. The efficacy of heat treatment was evaluated through tensile testing, optical metallographic analysis, and micro-Vickers hardness tests. QO and QW scenarios were excluded from the tensile tests. Results revealed that QWT550 demonstrated the most substantial enhancement in material yield, exhibiting a 115% increase. Moreover, hardness testing indicated superior hardness in QWT550 specimens compared to other tempered variants. The metallographic analysis illustrated the formation of identical and smooth martensitic structures. Overall, the combination of cooling heat treatment and tempering proved sufficient to meet the design requirements of hooked plates and coupling links for automatic couplers.","PeriodicalId":35468,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Engineering Science","volume":"201 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140234088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to investigate how an increase in the primary-secondary air ratio affects the performance of a power plant located in north Gorontalo, South Sulawesi, Indonesia, using a GateCycle model. We conducted simulations of 48 variations based on three primary-secondary ratio values (PA-SA) to determine the optimal proportion of PA-SA. Our findings indicate that the optimal PA-SA ratio under stoichiometric conditions was 25-75%, resulting in a total cost of 108.03 million Rupiah per hour with a fuel burn rate of 22756 kg/h. When operating with 10% excess air, the optimal PA-SA ratio remains 25-75%, and the fuel flow and total cost were 22947 kg/h and 108.94 million Rupiah, respectively.

Thus, the design of the rims must include a wide fatigue study which articulates in laboratory and field tests, analytical and numerical analyses and comparison of the experimental and computational results. This paper presents the study approach applied in the study of a 25 in rim for earth-moving machines manufactured by Moveero. The rim was subject to a design update which provided the reduction of the thickness from 11 mm to 9 mm. We decided to study the interaction tire-rim because it’s a critical zone. The failures affected the area of the seat radius of the fixed flange of the rim, which resulted to be the most stressed part of the rim because of the bending actions of the tire on the flange. In order to deepen the cyclic mechanical behaviour of the component, laboratory inflation and rolling tests were carried out in Woodridge USA considering several combinations of inflation pressure and radial load applied to the wheel. The strain data from the tests were analysed to develop a reverse empirical model for the contact pressure between tire and rim. Once the load diagram applied to the flange for each test was estimated, FEM static simulations could be performed on a 3D model of the rim through SolidWorks Simulation. The stress fields obtained were then used for fatigue FEM numerical analyses which could return an evaluation of the predicted life of the component under several load conditions.","PeriodicalId":35468,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Engineering Science","volume":"5 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140235437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The condition of the muffler operation is determined through the parameter – the distance between the electrodes. The optimality criterion is justified – the smokiness of the gas before and after purification. A nonlinear experimental plan has been compiled using the methods of similarity theory and dimension analysis. An experimental stand has been developed and results linking the process parameters have been obtained.

Successful automation of facilities and processes requires simplified control systems, and an adaptive mechanical system operates without a control system, which increases its reliability and efficiency. In particular, the creation of an efficient and reliable transmission of electric autonomous and mobile vehicles can be achieved by an adaptive mechanical drive with two degrees of freedom. Adaptation of the two-mobile system (2-DoF) is achieved by the proposed completely new type of transmission, namely the design of a stepless multi-speed drive with an additional friction coupling. The property of reliable adaptation of a two-mobile self-adjusting mechanical drive is independent adaptability to an external load with the help of a balancing friction coupling that provides a connection between the frictional moment and the relative angular velocity. The article presents a study of the interaction of the parameters of a two- mobile system in order to improve the efficiency of a self-adjusting adaptive drive with a given wide range of regulation based on the use of a friction coupling.","PeriodicalId":35468,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Engineering Science","volume":"2002 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140246419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, many companies have adopted strategies for lowering emissions of harmful gases, maintenance costs and vehicle exploitation, including the use of software packages for operation management and maintenance of vehicle fleets. On the international market there are numerous of already made software packages for the operation management and maintenance of vehicle fleets. Some of the companies, having in mind the specificity of business or vehicle exploitation, have decided to develop their own software packages for operation management and maintenance of vehicle fleets. One of them is the company „SRBOLAB“ DOO. This paper analyzed the impact of the developed software package on the energy efficiency of the company's vehicle fleet. Firstly, it describes the structure of the developed software package, and after that, applied measures next to the software package, in order to improve energy efficiency and obtained results in the form of an analysis of the energy efficiency of the observed vehicle fleet before and after the implementation of software and measures. Analysis has shown that, regardless of the increased business, the total fuel consumption (l) and mileage (km) are higher after the implementation of software, as well as the energy efficiency of the observed vehicle fleet per CE groups which is reduced to specific fuel consumption (l/100km). Obtained results show that the differences in the specific fuel consumption (l/100km), before and after the implementation of software per CE groups, are in the range of 0,32 l/100km to 1,26 l/100km, in other words, fuel savings are from 4,1 % to 16,8%, if you look at this in percentages. Obtained results in comparison to the size, spent fuel (l), are showing savings in the range of 89 l to 342 l. Total fuel savings (l) for the observed vehicle fleet in the period of January to April 2023 is 626 l.","PeriodicalId":35468,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Engineering Science","volume":"12 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140247957","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research addresses these issues by investigating enhanced temperature generation using a 30 cm × 30 cm Fresnel lens collector under solar illumination from a xenon lamp. Natural stone materials (andesite, coal, and pumice), characterized by granular structures with an average diameter of 1.68–2.00 mm, were selected because of their abundance and eco-friendliness. This research is focused on evaluating the effect of Fresnel lens on temperature generation performance. Two types of temperature generation tests were carried out: wet tests (where the natural stone materials were immersed in distilled water) and dry tests (where the natural stone materials were used in dry conditions). The morphologies of the natural stone materials were examined using an optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. Furthermore, the optical properties of the natural stone materials were analyzed using an ultraviolet–visible (UV–VIS) spectrophotometer. The findings revealed that there were significant improvements in the photothermal absorber performance with the use of a Fresnel lens in dry tests, where the highest temperature was achieved for coal (103.25 °C), followed by andesite (89.00 °C) and pumice (73.00 °C). The impurities varied between the materials, where the impurities were most dominant for pumice while coal was more uniform. Further examination using scanning electron microscope showed that all materials had light-trapping structures in the form of rough surfaces, pores, and crack gaps. Andesite was dominated by rough surfaces, while coal and pumice were dominated by crack gaps and pores, respectively. However, based on the UV–VIS spectrophotometric results, there were no correlations between the optical properties (absorbance, reflectance, and transmittance) and temperature achieved by the photothermal absorber materials. This research demonstrates the potential of using natural stone materials as photothermal absorbers in combination with a Fresnel lens collector for low-to-medium temperature solar thermal applications.","PeriodicalId":35468,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Engineering Science","volume":"31 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140254734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
