Abstract

Increased exhaust emissions from motor vehicles have become a major concern in efforts to reduce air pollution. One developed solution is the use of transition metallic catalytic converter (TMCC) technology in vehicle exhaust systems. This study aims to compare the fuel consumption efficiency of three types of exhaust systems, namely standard exhaust without a catalyst (STD WC), the standard exhaust with Original Equipment Manufacturer catalyst (STD OEM), and an exhaust system equipped with a Copper-Coated Chrome Metallic Catalytic Converter (TMCC CuCr). The data analysis method employed a quantitative approach by collecting fuel consumption data at each rpm and analyzing the mean and standard deviation. The research findings indicate that STD OEM has a lower average fuel consumption (0.80 liters per hour) and smaller standard deviation (0.06) compared to TMCC CuCr (0.83 liters per hour and 0.07). Although TMCC CuCr demonstrates good efficiency, STD OEM remains the best choice in terms of fuel efficiency. However, if the differences in fuel consumption and standard deviation are considered insignificant, TMCC CuCr could be a more economical alternative with its affordable price and greater material availability. Furthermore, its fuel consumption performance is not significantly different from that of STD OEM.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of variations in fuel brands, spark plug types, and tire pressure on four-stroke motorcycle engine performance. The independent variables tested include three variations of fuel brands (Pertamax, Shell Power, and AKR 92), spark plug types (standard, iridium, and platinum), and tire pressure (28 psi, 33 psi, and 38 psi). The experimental method was conducted on a Honda MegaPro PGM-FI motorcycle by measuring torque and power at various RPM using a chassis dynamometer test equipment. The results show that the sample 2 with combination of Shell-Super fuel brand, platinum spark plugs, and 33 psi tire pressure has a significant positive impact on engine performance, with higher torque and power as well as more consistent variations than other combinations. This research has important implications for motorcycle users, enabling them to optimize vehicle performance by choosing the right fuel, keeping spark plugs in good condition, and maintaining optimal tire pressure.
