Torque Analysis of 2 KW BLDC (Brushless Direct Current) Motor with Speed Variations in Electric Cars E-Falco

The motor releases torque and power to drive an electric car by carrying the load from a start position until it travels at the desired speed. The KMLI E-Falco electric car uses a BLDC type electric motor with a power capacity of 2 kW. To find out the amount of torque of a 2 kW BLDC motor when driving with variations in speed, it can be done by manual calculations using the torque equation and doing a dynotest test. The dynotest results show that the motor torque at the speed: 1 km/h is 1 Nm, 10 km/h is 131 Nm, 13 km/h is 228 Nm, 20 km/h is 225 Nm, 30 km/h is 219 Nm, 40 km / h is 188 Nm, 50 km / hour is 145 Nm, 60 km / h is 113 Nm, and 70 km / h is 85 Nm. From the results of the dynotest, it shows that the peak torque occurs at a speed of 13 km / h at 228 Nm. Racing software installed in the controller can increase the motor torque by four times at a speed variation of 13-70 km/h based on the results of the dynotest above. Keywords: motor, BLDC, torque, speed, acceleration.

Measurement of Vibration on The Alternator Due to The Influence of Rotation Speed

The alternator or dynamo ampere is a device that functions as a generator that produces alternating current (AC) and converts it to direct current (DC). Signs of damage that often occur due to damage to the Alternator are the smell of burning, squeaking, dim spotlights, indicator lights, malfunction of the battery, and the supply of electricity. These signs will cause the vehicle to stop in the middle of the trip the electricity supply is very lacking. This requires that preventive maintenance checks on the alternator are a must in the automotive world. In this paper we research measuring the vibration of the alternator due to the influence of rotation speed (750 rpm and 1800 rpm), to predict damage to the alternator of the Daihatsu Luxio vehicle. The results of this study indicate that at the rotational speed of 750 rpm and 1800 rpm, were found 1x rpm the condition of the vibration amplitude on the alternator is smaller than the alternator in poor condition, this is due to the presence of an unbalanced alternator. Also, vibration due to misalignment is obtained because it has characteristics, among others: vibrations with a frequency of 1xRPM and/or accompanied by a relatively large 2xRPM, and relatively high vibration in the axial direction.

Development of Palm Shell Base Activated Carbon for Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Emissions Absorption

High concentration of indoor air contaminant commonly released by human activities, furniture, building materials, carpets, cleaning product and paints. BTEX contains Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene and Xylene (BTEX) is categorized into VOCs which are indicative of harmful chemicals especially for indoor air. Therefore, it needs the sampling media for absorption before it could be analyse in the specific laboratory. One of the challenging technology to absorb BTEX is by using Palm Shell Activated Carbon (PSAC). Malaysia has a second largest country that produce palm oil which led to abundant of palm shell as waste material. Activated carbon is created through the carbonization, crushing and activation process. Carbonization process is conducted in various holding time of 1, 2 and 3 hours which called by CT1. CT2 and CT3 hours, respectively. Activation process is conducted through physical activation at temperature of 900 0C for 1 hour, chemical activation is conducted by Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) with ratio of 1:1 (charcoal: chemical) and holding time for 12 hours. It heated by furnace at temperature of 850 0C for 1 hours in order to improve the porosity and larger surface area. The physical properties were conducted by ASTM 3713, 3714 and 3715 for moisture, as and volatile content measurement. Surface morphology and composition as well as porosity image is characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) coupled by Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) machine. The result shows that the lowest ash, moisture and volatile content is shown by CT1 sample, but it has not completely carbonized as compared to CT2 and CT3. Moreover, CT3 has highest ash, moisture and volatile content but it has lowest fixed carbon as compared to CT1 and CT2. Therefore, CT2 hours is selected for further process. In microstructure analysis is observed that the PSACphysical+chemical has larger number of porosities with the diameter approximately of 50 to 150 µm, for PSACphysical approximately of 25 to 100 µm and PSACchemical of below than 50 µm. Composition analysis is observed that the sample is mainly consists of Carbon (C), Oxygen (O) and Potassium (K) content. Where larger porosity is in-line with the increment of K content which indicated in larger adsorption capacity. It can be summarized that palm shell with 2 hours carbonization time and it activated become PSACphysical+chemical has a high potential to larger adsorption capacity of indoor air contaminant adsorption. It is being further explore for sampling media of BTEX.

Implementation of Lean Manufacturing and Waste Minimization to Overcome Delay in Metering Regulating System Fabrication Process using Value Stream Mapping and VALSAT Method Approach (Case Study: Company YS)

Company YS participates in managing the natural gas network by creating a Metering Regulating System (MRS), which is a tool to measure gas usage and damage to the natural gas network. Based on the data obtained, the MRS delivery process was often not in accordance with the agreed schedule, there was a delay of up to 46%, namely 50 days late from the planned schedule. To overcome these delays, waste reduction is carried out by mapping the overall condition of the company in Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and mapping in detail with the Value Stream Mapping Analysis Tools (VALSAT). In the VSM method, a Current Value Stream Mapping is carried out which then identifies the waste in which the correlation score between the wastes is described in a matrix called the Waste Relationship Matrix then followed by the calculation of the Waste Assessment Questionnaire. Then in the VALSAT method, further waste identification was carried out using seven tools. The most influential percentage of waste that has been obtained is then searched for the root cause using a fishbone diagram and then eliminated and depicted in the Future Value Stream Mapping. The most influential waste in the fabrication process is Waiting and after repairs according to the recommendations, the lead time is obtained from 41,822.60 minutes or 99 working days to 35,055.60 minutes or 83 working days so that the fabrication process can be completed 3 days faster than scheduled.

Two Dimensional CFD Analysis and Flow Optimization of Transmission Cooling Scoop for Longitudinal Powertrain Applications

Two dimensional finite area method simulation was conducted to optimize the convective cooling performance of a transmission cooling scoop for longitudinal vehicle powertrain applications. Cooling of the transmission in an automobile is important to prevent premature wear or sudden failure caused by prolonged overheating of internal transmission components. The most common method for transmission cooling requires a small energy input for powering a pump to cool the transmission by circulating transmission fluid through a heat exchanger. An alternative cooling method was designed utilizing a simple scoop geometry to induce forced convection from ambient air to cool the transmission with no energy input requirement. Two dimensional simulation of this alternative cooling method was conducted in ANSYS Fluent. Fluid flow and heat transfer performance were analyzed for three proposed cooling scoop designs. Further flow optimization was achieved with parametric study regarding angle at which the cooling scoop is positioned relative to the transmission. Three dimensional simulation was conducted for improved observation of the physical model. Based on the simulation results, optimal geometry and future design improvements have been determined. A peak simulated heat transfer of 11.14 kW/m^2 was achieved with scoop angle of 45 degrees. Future research investigating the effects of induced turbulence to improve convective heat transfer would be beneficial.
