PublicationImpact of intake manifold geometry on power and torque: a simulation-based study(Semarak Ilmu Publishing, 2025)
;Muhammad Hussein Akbar Ali ; ; ;Eswanto ;Naoki Maruyama ;Girrimuniswar Ramasamy ; ;Rishan Murali ;Azizul Aziz IshakMuhammad Faiz Hilmi RaniThe 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. -
PublicationAnalysis of temperature and relative humidity distributions in a dental treatment room at a government health clinic in Malaysia(Semarak Ilmu Publishing, 2025)
;Mohamad Nazrin Yahaya ; ;Eswanto Eswanto ;Naoki Maruyama ; ; ;Muhammad Faiz Hilmi RaniThis 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. -
PublicationAn analysis on performance of Pico-hydro with archimedes screw model viewed from turbine shaft angleThe use of energy, especially for daily needs, is important. Pico hydro is an environmentally friendly power plant model that can take advantage of low flow rates and generate electricity below 1 kW. The purpose of this research is to obtain the best performance of pico hydro with a screw-shaped turbine model or what is called Archimedes Screw Turbine. The research method was carried out experimentally by adjusting the angle of the Archimedes screw turbine shaft, namely 30°, 45° and 60°. Observations at a discharge of 15 m3/h with an angle of 30° provide information that the screw turbine power obtained is 111.4 W with an efficiency of 57%. For an angle of 45° the power is 165.7 W and an efficiency of 77% while at an angle of 60° it produces 186 W of power with an efficiency of 87%. The results of this analysis prove that the pico-hydro model with a screw turbine by adjusting the angle variation on the turbine shaft gives the conclusion that the greater the given angle is, the greater the obtained performance will be, in terms of power and efficiency.
