PRODUKSI HIDROGEN DARI CAMPURAN AIR DAN MINYAK KELAPA MURNI (VCO) MELALUI POROUS MEDIA TEMBAGA MENGGUNAKAN PRINSIP HYDROGEN REFORMER
Abstract: Hydrogen reformer is
a principle of hydrogen formation by using the reaction betweenreactants with a
catalyst and a heating process in vapor form. Copper powder was used as thecatalyst
with a porosity of 28.245% and 31.736%, and a heat temperature of 310 oC.
Variation ofthe ratio between water and virgin coconut oil (VCO) mixture of
1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4 and 1:5 wasdeveloped to investigate the hydrogen generated
productivity. The images of burning flame wastaken at the outlet pipe of steam
reaction to indicate the productivity of the hydrogen. The results shown that
the productivity of the hydrogen was obtained by calculating the images of
flamecolors. The images indicate that the productivity of the hydrogen increase
with adding virgin coconut oil (VCO) to water is greater. The average amount of
energy and the power needed to react all variations on a comparison of hydrogen
reformer tube 5 are 53.53885 kJ and 0.18666 kJ/sec, respectively.
