The scarcity of fuel oil is caused by the increasing demand for fuel oil, and production at the refineries begins to decrease. Making researchers look for solutions, one of which is new and renewable energy. New and renewable energy can be produced sustainably, such asbiodiesel Crude Palm Oil (CPO), and hydrogen gas. The use of CPO biodiesel is known to be low in emissions, high in oxygen content, and cetane number. However, the use of biodiesel without engine modification can lead to decreased thermal efficiency and increased smoke emissions in the engine. The addition of hydrogen gas in small amounts can improve the performance of diesel engines. This study aimsto determine the performance and emissions of diesel engines using CPO biodiesel and hydrogen gas as fuel. The engine used is a single-cylinderdiesel engine, direct injection, with a constant speed of 2000rpm. The load variation is 1kW to 4kW with 0.5kW increment interval, and the hydrogen flow variation is (2.5, 5, 7.5, 10) Liters per minute. At high load, the results obtained thermal efficiency of 78.75 percent without hydrogen flowand decreased to 24.09 percent with 10lpm hydrogen flow. Increased biodieselfuel consumption and soot emissions along with the addition of hydrogen flow, at full load.

The characterisation of the very high cycle fatigue (VHCF) regime has become pertinent due to the interest of extending the service life of engineering structures. However, the fatigue testing of materials at the longer lives of VHCF regime (usually greater than 10 million of cycles) is by far most efficient with an ultrasonic fatigue testing system, which introduces new challenges such as the specimen’s design. As a consequence, the fatigue behaviour in the VHCF regime under the presence of stress states different from the uniaxial one is not well known. Thus, in this work, the fatigue behaviour of S690QL structural steel is analysed for the case of a biaxial stress state. A cruciform specimen was developed by finite element model analysis and, consequently, it was experimentally validated. Moreover, several specimens were tested and a mean stress-life curve estimated, considering the von Mises stresses. Additionally, the mechanism of fatigue crack initiation was assessed and the fracture surfaces were analysed.
Constitutive modeling of dielectric elastomers has been of long standing interest in mechanics. Over the last two decades rigorous constitutive models have been developed that couple the electrical response of these p...

A Thermoelectric generator is a small module that can convert heat energy into electricity directly. Utilization of these tools can be applied to charcoal furnaces using coolant to get an increase in temperature to produce optimal electricity. This study aims to determine the efficiency of using coolant in thermoelectric generators. Water, radiator coolant, and oil are some examples of coolants that can be used in water blocks. This study uses a Thermoelectric generator SP184827145SA with three fluids, namely Water, Ethylene Glycol radiator coolant, and Mpx1 Oil, and uses Arduino Uno as a monitoring system with an 8 W 6V lamp as load and 900 seconds of testing time. The results of the coolant found that the Mpx1 oil had the largest T of 64.5℃ and received 8.81 kJ of heat with an efficiency of 0.17%. Liquid water has the largest T of 71.5℃ and receives the heat of 48.6 kJ with an efficiency of 0.46%, and Ethylene Glycol radiator coolant has the largest T of 82.75℃ and receives heat of 50.53 kJ with an efficiency of 0.68%. This revealed that the Ethylene Glycol radiator coolant had the highest efficiency, and the oil coolant had the lowest efficiency.
