    RANCANG BANGUN MESIN PENGGILING DAGING MENGGUNAKAN TENAGA PENGGERAK MOTOR LISTRIK

    by Rivaldy, La Ode Ahmad Barata, Salimin

    The meat grinder machine functions to mincemeat so that it can be easily mixed with other food ingredients. This study aims to design an electric motor–based meat grinder and to determine the performance of the designed machine. The research method includes literature study, observation, planning, design, and fabrication. The machine is designed using a single-phase electric motor with a power of 0.3 HP, a speed of 2900 rpm, a pulley ratio of 1:3, and a voltage of 220 volts as the power source. The transmission system used is a single transmission consisting of a pair of pulleys with diameters of 8 inches on the motor and 22 inches on the grinder shaft. The test results show that the machine operates at 1000 rpm without load and 995 rpm when grinding meat. The vibration values recorded were 0.25 cm/s on the motor and 0.33 cm/s on the frame, which, according to ISO 10816 standards, fall into Zone A—indicating a safe vibration level for operation. The machine can grind meat at an average rate of 0.033 kg/s or approximately 2 kg/min. The system uses a single transmission consisting of a pair of pulleys connected by a V-belt to transmit and reduce rotational speed. When the motor is turned on, its rotation is transmitted to pulley 1, then to pulley 2 via the V-belt, causing pulley 2 to rotate. The connected shaft, screw conveyor, and cutting blade rotate together because they are mounted on the same shaft.

    Flow Structure Control over the Square Cylinder with Inclined Splitter Plate: A Pathway to Conserving Energy

    by La Ode Ahmad Barata, Takahiro Kiwata, Sudarsono, Sayahdin Alfat, Nanang Endriatno, Rudipurwo Wijayanto

    Flow control over a square cylinder using an attached double splitter plate was numerically investigated at a Reynolds number of 104. This study aimed to investigate the effects of the splitter plate and angle of incidence on fluid forces, pressure distributions, and vortex-shedding. The two plates were positioned ¾ H apart, with various inclination angles. The vortex shedding frequency was typically obtained from lift fluctuation measurements, while the aerodynamic force coefficients acting on the model were determined from pressure distributions. This investigation explored characteristics of the vortex formation region, the location of flow separation, and reattachment points. The process also included the gradient pressure recovery corresponding to a minimum drag coefficient reduction. Suppressing lift fluctuation by tilting the plate a ³ 10° negated drag reduction. It was attributed to the pressure gradient effect rather than solely to lift fluctuation frequency. At zero angle of incidence (a), the drag coefficient of a square cylinder decreased by approximately 39.3%. Drag reduction was maximum at about a £ 5° and reached the peak reduction at a = 2.5°, with a 43.8% reduction compared to the bare square cylinder. Additionally, drag reduction achieved with the double splitter plate was twice that of the single splitter, achieving about 20.3%. This study recommended an optimal drag reduction by tilting the plate at an angle of 5 ° or less. Drag reduction provides a means to reduce the energy required to move objects.

    by La Ode Ahmad Barata, Samhuddin, Rizqi Firti Naryanto, Mera Kartika Delimayanti, La Baride

    Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi karakteristik energi surya di wilayah Andoonuhu, Kota Kendari, Sulawesi Tenggara, sebagai studi awal untuk pengembangan sistem pembangkitan listrik tenaga surya (PLTS). Pengumpulan data dilakukan menggunakan pendekatan simulasi dan pengukuran langsung selama periode Maret hingga Mei 2024. Parameter utama yang dianalisis meliputi intensitas radiasi surya, indeks kejernihan (clearness index), sudut zenit, sudut insidensi, sudut jam matahari, serta respon keluaran daya panel fotovoltaik tipe SP-50-P36. Hasil studi menunjukkan bahwa intensitas radiasi rata-rata harian berada pada kisaran 4,5–6,4 kWh/m²/hari, dengan puncak energi terjadi pada bulan Mei. Analisis posisi matahari pada tanggal 23 Maret (momen ekuinoks) menunjukkan sudut zenit minimum mendekati 4–5°, yang menandakan kondisi penyinaran hampir tegak lurus terhadap permukaan bumi. Panel surya yang dipasang dengan kemiringan 15° menghadap utara menunjukkan nilai sudut insidensi yang relatif kecil pada siang hari, mendukung performa penangkapan radiasi optimal. Radiasi sorot maksimum tercatat pada pukul 12.00 siang, sementara kontribusi radiasi difusi lebih signifikan pada pagi dan sore hari. Indeks kejernihan berkorelasi positif terhadap sudut matahari, dengan nilai optimum saat sudut elevasi berada di atas 60°. Uji kinerja panel menunjukkan penurunan efisiensi konversi pada pukul 12.00 (Maret) dan 13 .00 (Mei) akibat peningkatan temperatur permukaan modul. Studi ini mengindikasikan bahwa pemanfaatan PV energi surya di wilayah Kendari cukup baik dan dapat dioptimalkan melalui desain sistem tetap maupun pelacakan. Penelitian ini memberikan dasar teknis bagi pengembangan sistem PLTS yang efisien, berkelanjutan, dan adaptif terhadap karakteristik radiasi lokal utamanya di wilayah tengah-timur indonesia.

    Studi Karakteristik Biogas dari Kotoran Sapi dengan Penambahan Jerami

    by La Ode Ahmad Barata, Jenny Delly, Samhuddin

    Limbah kotoran sapi merupakan salah satu sumber energi alternatif melimpah utamanya di daerah pedesaan yang berpotensi manjadi pilihan dalam mengurangi ketergantungan masyarakat terhadap bahan bakar minyak. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa karakteristik biogas dari kotoran sapi sebagai sumber energi alternatif. Efek penambahan jerami terhadap laju pembentukan dan sifat nyala biogas juga dilakukan dalam penelitian ini. Parameter yang diteliti adalah temperatur, tekanan, dan gas yang terdeteksi terhadap produksi biogas dan karakteristik nyala api. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan biogas dari kotoran sapi menghasilkan nyala api biogas berwarna biru muda, bau yang menyengat pada periode waktu retensi 14 hari. Sifat nyala api dengan warnah biru terlihat pada pengujian hari ke 21 dari waktu retensi, dan bau menyengat (diduga belerang dan karbon monoksida) relatif berkurang. Gas-gas dapat terbakar teridentikasi dengan alat gas detektor sebagai unsur EX (Explosive); 100%. Unsur lainnya seperti sulfur dan karbon monooksida ditunjukkan dengan H2S dan CO oleh alat detektor gas. Intensitas kedua unsur ini berkurang seiring dengan penambahan waktu retensi hingga 28 hari. Penambahan jerami sebanyak 10% dari bahan baku kotoran padat sapi menaikkan laju tekanan dan massa biogas yang dihasilkan pada hari ke-7. Uji bakar biogas pada hari ke-14 menunjukkan bahwa penambahan jerami mengurangi intesitas gas metana yang ditandai dengan nyala api biru pucat akibat dominasi unsur karbon monoksida. Efek penambahan jerami terhadap intensitas biogas terlihat pada hari ke 21 dimana intensitas visual nyala api lebih besar dari pada bahan baku dengan jerami. Pada fase retensi di atas 21 hari, biomassa jerami sudah terdegradasi dengan sempurna sehingga menambah intensitas nyala gas terbakar. Studi ini merekomendasikan penanganan biomassa jerami yang baik sebagai bahan baku tambahan dan katalisator dalam laju pembentukan biogas kotoran padat sapi seperti pencacahan, komposisi ideal, dan perlakuan awal zat tak terurai.

    The Effect of Preheating on the Mechanical Properties of AISI 1037 and AISI 304 Welded Joints Using Shielded Metal Arc Welding

    by Sudarsono, Amir Arifin, Gunawan, Muhammad R. Y. Q. A. Wijaya, La Ode Ahmad Barata, Mohd Ikram Ramli

    This study explores the effect of preheating on the toughness of dissimilar welded joints between AISI 1037 and AISI 304 steels, using Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) and E309-16 electrodes. The innovation of this approach lies in assessing how preheating temperatures influence the mechanical properties of such welds. Preheating temperatures ranged from 150 °C to 300 °C, with impact testing revealing a notable increase in toughness, from 6.01 Joules at 150 °C to 19.57 Joules at 300 °C. Hardness tests indicated a maximum hardness of 313 VHN in the fusion zone and a minimum of 185 VHN in the AISI 304 area. Compared to non-preheated joints, preheating significantly enhanced impact strength and altered the fracture mode from brittle to ductile. Macrostructural and microstructural analyses with optical microscopy and SEM showcased changes in fracture surfaces and microstructural evolution, highlighting the improvement in mechanical properties due to preheating. These findings demonstrate that preheating critically enhances the toughness and overall performance of dissimilar metal welds, making it a valuable technique in industrial applications where enhanced joint toughness is crucial.

    Effect of Preheating on Mechanical Properties of AISI 1037 and AISI 304 Welded Joints Using SMAW

    by Sudarsono Sudarsono, Amir Arifin, Gunawan Gunawan, M. Rindang Y.Q.A.W, La Ode Ahmad Barata, Mohd Ikram Ramli

    AISI 1037 and AISI 304 steels are widely used across various industrial sectors, including manufacturing, transportation, petrochemical, and automotive industries. In this study, the effect of preheating on the toughness of dissimilar welded joints between AISI 1037 and AISI 304, joined by Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) using E309-16 electrodes, was investigated. The preheating process was performed prior to welding, and its influence on the joint's toughness was assessed through impact testing. Additionally, the hardness profile across the welded joint was evaluated using hardness testing. Macrostructure and microstructure examinations were conducted using an optical microscope and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to analyse the fracture surfaces and microstructural evolution of the welded joints. The experimental results revealed that the impact strength increased as the preheating temperature was elevated. The highest hardness value, recorded in the fusion zone, reached 313 VHN. Compared to joints welded without preheating, the impact strength of the preheated welded joints significantly improved, with a notable transition in fracture mode from brittle to ductile behaviour. This indicates that the preheating process plays a critical role in enhancing the toughness and mechanical properties of dissimilar welded joints.

    Analisa Numerik Perilaku Aliran yang Melalui Struktur Persegi

    by La Ode Ahmad Barata, Lukas Kano Mangalla, Amrullah

    This study is designed to analyze the flow characteristics aver a square body with variations in the angle of attack of the flow. The force components u, CD, -CPb, CL and St are analyzed numerically. The method used in this research is the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) turbulent model with variations in the angle of incidence of fluid flow on a square test geometry model with cross-section height H = 40 mm (D = H). The results showed that the large angle of incidence of the flow increased the value of CD, CL due to the enlargement of the flow in the downstream wake area. While the CP value also decreased due to the negative pressure gradient of the downstream area enlarged with an increase in the value of the angle of attack of the flow. The angle of attack increases the parameters CDmax = 2.33, CP = -1.87, and St = 0.09 at an angle of -30° while at an angle of 0° the value of CD = 2.05 -CPb = -1.37, St = 0.128. Changes in the angle of incidence of the flow affect the frequency of vortices. The local velocity component (u) decreased. Penelitian ini dirancang untuk menganalisa karakteristik aliran melalui benda persegi dengan variasi sudut serang aliran. Komponen- komponen gaya u, Cd, -Cpb, Cl dan St dianalisa secara numerik. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah model turbulen Large Eddy Simulation (LES) dengan variasi sudut datang aliran fluida pada model geometri uji persegi dengan sisi H = 40 mm (D=H). Hasil penelitian menunjukan besar sudut datang aliran meningkatkan nilai gaya hambat CD, CL disebabkan adanya pembesaran olakan aliran pada daerah daerah hilir aliran (downstream wake). Sedangkan nilai CP juga mengalami penurunan yang disebabkan oleh gradien tekanan negatif area hilir membesar dengan peningkatan nilai sudut serang aliran. Sudut Serang menaikan parameter CDmax sebesar 2,33, Cp= -1,87, dan St = 0,09 pada sudut -30° sedangkan pada sudut sudut 0° nilai CD = 2,05 -CPb= -1,37, St = 0,128. Perubahan sudut datang aliran juga berpengaruh terhadap frekuensi vorteks. Komponen kecepatan lokal (u) mengalami penurunan karena faktor komponen negatif menciptakan aliran balik di sekitar silinder.
