    Fuel Cell, as The Subtitute of ICEs Vehicle

    Sahabat Serupedia, untuk kali ini penulis mendapat tugas mengenai solusi yang harus diambil seorang engineer dalam menyelesaikan suatu permasalahan yang dihadapi mengunakan sebuah matriks etika pengambilan keputusan atau singkatnya tabel yang diisikan dengan "ya" "tidak" "mungkin". Kolom dengan hasil "ya" terbanyak dijadikan jawaban terbaik atau solusi atas permasalahan tersebut.

    Mohon maaf artikel dibawah ini masih berbahasa Inggris, kami akan terjemahkan artikel ini 2 - 3 hari mendatang dari waktu posting. Untuk sahabat Serupedia yang ternyata sudah lama menunggu postingan berbahasa Inggris dari kami, kami persembahkan postingan ini untuk kalian. Selamat membaca !




    Problem:



    You are a specialist in automotive and electrical engineering. You are faced the fact that ICE vehicles is no longer sustainable in order to push the usage of petroleum to its minumum level. You are able to convinced one of the biggest automotive company to join in your cause, and at the end, you and the company agreed to develop the fuel cell based vehicle because to some, transportation nirvana involves not ICEs, but electric cars running on storage batteries or electricity generated from on-board, hydrogen-powered fuel cells. If ICEs have a role in this utopia, it is in the form of plug-in hybrids-electric cars with sizable on-board battery storage and ICEs to either recharge the batteries or, when needed, provide power directly to the wheels. What are your efforts to manisficate the solution ?

    Analysis:

    A fuel cell vehicle (FCV) or fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) is a type of vehicle which uses a fuel cell to power its on-board electric motor. Fuel cells in vehicles create electricity to power an electric motor, generally using oxygen from the air and hydrogen. A fuel cell vehicle that is fueled with hydrogen emits only water and heat, no pollutants, therefore it is considered a Zero Emission Vehicle.

    Fuel cell-powered electric vehicles cannot, at present, compete on price and attributes with ICE-powered vehicles. Battery-powered vehicles are much closer to commercial production than fuel-cell vehicles, but as yet none of the major manufacturers have committed to large-scale production.

    But then, if we compare the fuel cell with ICEs to the near future, if only we are able to shift our dependence of petroleum to the fuel cell completely, we’re able to save up to 50 percent of our oil reserve. This reserved is addresed to emergency use or to be use on other sectors outside automotive. Fuel cell vehicle also had already been used for several automotive such as tractors, busses, and many more.

    Based on the Engineering Ethics Decision Matrix, here the decision that we can choose to realize the uses of Biofuel:

    Options
    NSPE Canons

    Realize the idea
    Publish in newspaper
    Conduct a research group on fuel cell development
    Build a large scale industry of fuel cell based vehicle
    Cooperate with government
    Hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public
    Yes
    The uses of fuel cell will help to  minimize the uses of fossil fuels
    Maybe
    Not all citizen understand what is a fuel cell
    Yes
    The test is important to improve the usage of fuel cell
    Yes
    A large scale industry will sustain the needs of fuel cell for the vehicle
    Maybe

    The government probably will support this act
     Perform the services only in the area of your competence
    Yes
    I’m as the expert of automotive and electrical engineering
    No
    The journalist will do this
    Maybe
    As an electrical engineer, fuel cell is part of the my competence
    No
    The expert of mechanical engineering and industrial alongside with the capital holder are in charge in this situation

    No
    The capital holder of this project will do this
    Issue public statements only in an objective and truthful manner
    No
    The industry still not able to fulfill the needs in large scale

    Yes
    Public are needed to be inform of all advantages on using fuel cell based vehicle
    Maybe
    Some experiment need to be published in order to shape public understanding  on fuel cell
    Yes
    In order to notify the public abaout the serious-ness of this manner
    Maybe
    Our objectiveness will make the government agreed with this project
    Act for each employer or client as faithful agents or trustess
    Yes
    All of the engineers will understand about the uses of fuel cell
    No
    We will not publish the internal experiment into the public

    Yes
    There must be a scientifically data that associates with fuel celll
    Yes
    A good teamwork needed to established a working large scale industry
    No
    We will not share internal decision to the goverment
    Avoid deceptive acts
    Yes
    As the one who conducted the idea, avoiding deceptive acts is important
    Yes
    I honestly agree to realize this idea
    Yes
    Experiment will prove and enhance the use on fuell cell in vehicle
    Maybe
    Something is needed to be altered to make things work
    Yes
    I honestly agree to realize this idea
    Conduct yourself honourably
    Yes
    You need a recognition based on your effort to save the planet
    Yes
    In order to realized the solution, we need public recognition
    Yes
    All people who take part on the experiment must have suitable recognition

    No
    All experts that build the industry should
    Yes
    The government will support us and deal with this solution
    Total
    Yes: 5
    No :1
    Maybe: 0
    Yes: 4
    No: 2
    Maybe: 0
    Yes: 4
    No: 0
    Maybe: 2
    Yes: 3
    No: 2
    Maybe: 1
    Yes: 2
    No: 2
    Maybe: 2


    Conclution:

    Based on the engineering matrix decision, the best way to manisficate the solution into reality is by realizing the idea of shifting ICEs vehicle to fuell cell based vehicle. This solution will solve the petroleum problem step by step and at the end, able to eleminate the use of petroleum in automotive sector
