Abstract

The production of hydrocarbon fuels shows a downward trend which forces people to look for alternative renewable fuels such as biodiesel from vegetable oil. One solution that can be applied in the use of biodiesel mixed with castor oil. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using a mixture of castor oil on the performance of diesel engines. The method used in this experiment is testing it directly on a diesel engine. Experiments were carried out on machines with a load of up to 4000 watts by mixing pure diesel fuel with castor oil to produce biodiesel B10, B20, and B30 as fuel. The results showed that the use of castor oil biodiesel tends to be lower than diesel oil, the torque produced by B20 17,59 N.m is greater than diesel oil, and the thermal efficiency of B20 17,04 % and SFC B20 is 470,2 gr/kWh more economical than diesel oil. B20 provides better performance values foe diesel engines and this is the right solution to be an alternative fuel other than diesel oil.

Abstract

The increasing use of fossil fuels will cause the world's oil reserves to be depleted. In this case, it is necessary to increase the use of alternative renewable fuels, one of which is biodiesel waste cooking oil (WCO). The method used is an experimental test with a mixture of used cooking oil biodiesel and fuel. Before testing, the temperature of each fuel is increased to determine the effect of temperature on the density and viscosity values. The highest density value is found in B50 fuel at 26 °C, with a density of 0.854 gr/ml, while the lowest density is found in diesel fuel at 60 °C, with a density of 0.822 gr/ml. The highest viscosity value is found in B50 fuel at 26 °C and 60 °C, which is 3.26 cSt. After that, testing was carried out on a diesel engine, which produced the highest thermal efficiency value of 21.16% on B50 fuel with a temperature of 60 °C at 1000 rpm rotation and a load of 4000 watts. The lowest thermal efficiency of 6.43% was found in B50 fuel with a temperature of 26 °C at 800 rpm and a load of 1000 watts. The lowest consumption was found in B30 with a temperature of 60 °C at 1200 rpm, which was 420.78 gr/kWh. From the results of the tests that have been carried out, it can be concluded that the lower the density and viscosity of the fuel, the better the performance of the diesel engine on average. High temperatures effectively make the engine performance value better than normal temperatures (26 °C), and the performance of diesel engines is better with WCO fuel, especially in SFC.
