PRODUKSI COCO-BIOFUEL DAN APLIKASINYA PADA MESIN DIESEL DENGAN SISTEM INJEKSI LANGSUNG
Abstract: This study is
devoted to the performance and emission evaluation of automotive diesel engine
as affected by coco biofuel utilization. The concentration of palm biodiesel
used in the test was ranged from B0 (pure petro-diesel), B10, B20, B30, B50 and
B100 (pure biodiesel). The engine performance was evaluated through torque,
power, and specific fuel consumption, while the emission was evaluated through
carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC), particulate matter (PM), carbon dioxide
(CO2), and NOx pollutants. The result shows that higher content of palm
biodiesel can reduce the emission of CO, HC, PM, and CO2. It was found that the
addition of biodiesel could increase the power and torque. Further more, NOx
also decreased when the content of palm biodiesel increases, which is in
contrast with those generally found in the previous non palm biodiesel studies.
