The process carried out is distillation, which is heating the PPO at a certain temperature so that light and heavy molecules will evaporate and turn into distillate plastic oil (DPO). The effect of temperature on the quality of the DPO was observed based on the color of the obtained DPO. Temperatures ranging from 120 to 350 °C were examined in this study. The cleaner DPO was produced at a temperature of about 120 °C, which indicated a light molecule of hydrocarbon similar to gasoline, while a little dark color was produced when the temperature was increased to 350 °C, which indicated heavy molecules of hydrocarbon similar to diesel. This research shows that distillation can produce alternative fuels with different grades depending on the applied operating temperature.","PeriodicalId":507685,"journal":{"name":"Key Engineering Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140376057","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}

However, the main problem in the drying process is the relatively high energy consumption. Therefore, the development of energy-saving dryers is necessary. Based on the above reasons, this research aims to study the performance enhancement of heat pump dryers using R32 refrigerant by using heat recovery and nanofluid. The heat that is exhausted from the refrigerant by a heat exchanger. In this work, a Nano titanium dioxide (Ti2O3) was selected. Pork was dried under the conditions of drying temperature of 45, 50 and 55 °C and water flow rate in the heat exchanger at the front of the drying chamber of 2, 3 and 4 L/min. Criteria for evaluating heat pump dryer performance include drying rate, specific moisture extraction rate, specific energy consumption, heat pump dryer performance coefficient compared to heat pump dryers without nanofluid. The results showed that increasing the drying temperature and water flow rate in heat exchanger increased the drying rate, power and specific moisture extraction rate in the heat pump dryer using nanofluid. Whereas, the specific energy consumption was lower than the case without nanofluid. Increasing the drying temperature and the water flow rate in the heat exchanger had relatively little effect on the coefficient of performance (COP) of the heat pump dryer. Moreover, the study found that the coefficient of performance of heat pump dryer with nanofluid was in the range of 4.33 - 4.42.","PeriodicalId":507685,"journal":{"name":"Key Engineering Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140374337","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 results show that the deformation, fatigue, and breakage of conductive particles will quantitatively affect electrical conductivity performance.

As this material has several very advantageous properties, leading to increasing applications in various industries, it is seldom used in mechanical engineering applications due to its tribological properties, which are unfavourable. The nitriding process is one of the most frequently used thermochemical processes designed to enhance the surface characteristics of titanium alloys and improve tribological properties. Various types of nitriding for titanium are studied, such as ion nitriding, plasma nitriding, laser nitriding and gas nitriding. This article provides a comprehensive examination of research papers on different advancements through a systematic literature review conducted in the period 2017-2023 about titanium nitriding for its process parameters, characteristics and functionalities of the product, particularly emphasising their contributions in surface characteristics and mechanical properties. The review seeks to offer an understanding of how the predominant processing factors, specifically temperature and time, affect the microstructure and the creation of novel phases. This review suggests a challenge for future researchers to investigate mechanisms of microstructure evolution and its impact on mechanical properties in conditioned environments to microhardness and ability to withstand rusting of titanium and its alloys.","PeriodicalId":507685,"journal":{"name":"Key Engineering Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140374304","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}

LSMO thin films for x = 0, 0.15 and 0.3 have been produced in a pure O2 gas atmosphere. Although LaMnO3 (LMO) single crystal is an antiferromagnetic insulator (AFI), LMO thin films we have produced show ferromagnetic metal (FM) properties for suitable heat treatment conditions. We consider that the excess of O2- ions in LMO thin films produced in a pure O2 gas atmosphere induces the strong hole self-doping into those and the LMO thin films change from AFI to FM. Whereas, the ordinary hole doping is also occurred in LSMO thin films at x > 0. Thus, the carrier doping for LSMO thin films at x > 0 is caused by the hole self-doping by O2- ions and the ordinary hole doping by the replacement of La3+ ions by Sr2+ ones. To investigate the crystallographic and surface structures of the LSMO thin films, X-ray diffraction and SEM measurements have been performed, respectively. From the X-ray diffraction measurement, we have found that all LSMO thin films have perovskite structure and are polycrystalline. From the SEM measurement, we have seen that the LSMO thin films are formed of the aggregation of LSMO fine particles. Electrical resistivities (ERs) and magneto-resistivity (MR) ratios of the LSMO thin films have been measured on the temperature dependence (4K-300K). From MR ratio measurements, the coercive forces of them have been obtained as a function of temperature, and the Curie temperatures have been estimated from the temperature dependences of the coercive forces. We have discussed the origin of the magneto-conductive and magnetic properties of LSMO thin films.","PeriodicalId":507685,"journal":{"name":"Key Engineering Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140374339","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 influence of printing orientation on the mechanical properties of the material is investigated. Previous research has shown that PBF-LB manufactured AlSi10Mg can exhibit superior mechanical properties compared to traditional material, but the anisotropic nature of parts produced by PBF-LB can significantly affect their properties. Tensile, impact, and fatigue testing are conducted to assess the mechanical behavior of the printed AlSi10Mg specimens under different loading conditions. Microstructural analysis is performed using Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) equipped with Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) to examine the microstructural features introduced during the PBF-LB process.

Its effect on the mechanical behavior (tensile, flexural and compression) and the investigation of void percentage and orientation angles within the internal structure were studied. The line pattern showed the highest tensile strength at 55.46 MPa due to its internal structure with a higher number of deposited layers oriented along the direction of the stress enabling higher stress absorption, the laminate theory. The angular lines on both tri-hexagon and gyroid patterns provided disadvantage as supported by Timoshenko's theory where the internal structures acted like a beam which is prone to easier deformation. Line pattern also demonstrated the highest flexural strength at 103.67 MPa. The continuity of the pattern along the internal structure perpendicular to the direction of the force provided more effective transfer of stress. However, the highest compressive load was observed in gyroid pattern with 8,266.89 N. The redundancies in the internal structure design of gyroid pattern enabled more compression load absorption. Symmetry and internal angles in gyroid and tri-hexagon patterns allowed more compressive force which are more susceptible to fractures due to higher strains created. Lastly, void percentage showed line pattern with the lowest at 1.53%. In addition, the mean void orientation angle showed that the closer it is to 0o, the weaker the part.","PeriodicalId":507685,"journal":{"name":"Key Engineering Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140374835","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}
