The internal combustion engine (ICE) remains pivotal in motorcycle technology, primarily due to its efficiency, energy density, and established infrastructure, despite the rise of electric vehicles. This study examines the influence of intake manifold design parameters on the performance of a single-cylinder internal combustion engine (ICE), with a specific focus on brake power and brake torque at high engine speeds. A comprehensive parametric analysis was conducted using a 1D simulation model in Ricardo Wave, evaluating the effects of manifold length, diameter, and bending angle on engine performance metrics. The results demonstrate that the optimized intake manifold design yields a 7.75% improvement in brake power and a 6.5% enhancement in brake torque at 10,000 RPM compared to the baseline configuration. Mid-range values for manifold length and diameter were found to achieve optimal airflow dynamics, effectively minimizing pressure losses. Additionally, a bending angle of 70° exhibited superior stability in power delivery at elevated engine speeds. These findings underscore the critical role of intake manifold geometry optimization in achieving enhanced engine performance under high-speed operating conditions.

Analysis of temperature and relative humidity distributions in a dental treatment room at a government health clinic in Malaysia

This study investigates the vertical distribution of temperature and relative humidity within dental treatment rooms at a Government Type 3 Health Clinic in Gial Perlis, Malaysia, addressing a significant gap in the literature regarding environmental conditions in dental healthcare settings. Precise measurements were conducted at four specific heights 0.3 m, 1.0 m, 1.7 m, and 2.7 m utilizing calibrated digital thermometers with hygrometers to capture accurate environmental data. The collected data were analysed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to assess the significance of variations across these levels. Results revealed statistically significant differences in both temperature and relative humidity (p < 0.05). At the uppermost level (2.7 m), the highest mean temperature of 22.1°C and a mean relative humidity of 68.2% were recorded, while the lowest level (0.3 m) exhibited the lowest mean temperature of 20.9°C and the highest mean relative humidity of 73.8%. Temperatures at the patient level (1.0 m and 1.7 m) averaged between 21.0 °C and 21.6°C, which is slightly below the optimal comfort range of 22°C to 26°C. These vertical gradients indicate that the existing HVAC systems may not be effectively regulating indoor conditions, potentially impacting patient comfort, the performance of temperature-sensitive dental materials, and the effectiveness of infection control measures due to altered aerosol behaviour. The findings underscore the necessity of optimizing HVAC designs to achieve uniform temperature and humidity distributions within dental treatment rooms. This research provides valuable insights for healthcare professionals and policymakers, emphasizing the importance of tailored environmental management strategies to enhance patient comfort, procedural outcomes, and safety in dental healthcare settings.

Experimental analysis using thermocouple and infrared thermography of the temperature evolution of lithium-ion polymer cells at different charging rates

2025 , A. I. A. Sabandi , Zuradzman Mohamad Razlan , M. F. H. Rani , N. Maruyama , W. K. Wan , Shahriman Abu Bakar , Nur Saifullah Kamarrudin , Mohd Ridzuan Mohd Jamir

An experiment was designed to investigate the temperature revolution of lithium-ion polymer (LiPo) cells using two different approaches, thermocouples and infrared thermography. The cells were charged under controlled conditions at rates of 2.0 A, 4.0 A, 6.0 A, 8.0 A, and 10.0 A. The analysis focused on the maximum surface temperature, temperature changes over time, and surface temperature distribution. The findings revealed that higher charging rates result in increased heat generation, causing greater temperature rises, steeper temperature gradients, and higher maximum temperatures. During the charging process, the study also observed endothermic behavior and uneven temperature distribution across the cells. However, upon completing the charging, the surface temperature became evenly distributed without any critical hotspots. Notably, maximum temperatures were observed in the lower regions of the cells for lower charging rates (2.0 A, 4.0 A, and 6.0 A) and in the upper regions for higher rates (8.0 A and 10.0 A). Additionally, infrared thermography provided a clearer and more precise method for measuring surface temperatures compared to thermocouples, as indicated by experimental uncertainty analysis. IR imaging also showed a faster temperature increase at higher charging rates, offering deeper insights into the thermal characteristics of LiPo cells.
