Abstract

The study objective is to investigate the combustion characteristics of Callophyllum inophyllum fuel in presence of a magnetic fields. To conduct the experiment, a bunsen burner was utilized, with fuel and air being dispensed via a syringe pump and compressor, both regulated by a flowmeter. The fuel and air pipes were heated to 532.15 (K) to facilitate fuel evaporation. The equivalent ratio of 0.5, 1, and 1.5 was adjusted to control air discharge and fuel. An 11,000 gausses artificial magnet was used, with N-S, N-S, N-N, and S-S being the various magnetic pole configurations. The study found that the magnetic field can enhance combustion quality by affecting the molecules involved in the combustion process. The magnetic field's force also intensifies the movement of O2, making it more energetic. As O2 travels from the North Pole to the South Pole through the combustion reaction zone, it quickens the oxidation-reduction process and curtails diffusion combustion. The red color's intensity diminishes with the magnetic field's effect, indicating this phenomenon. When a magnetic field is applied, the polarity of C.inophyllum biodiesel fuel becomes highly favorable. The triglyceride carbon chain bonds become unstable, and the van der Walls dispersion forces are weakened, which facilitates easier O2 binding to the fuel, resulting in more efficient combustion. An increase in the laminar burning velocity value can be noticed when exposed to a magnetic field.

Abstract

The population growth in Indonesia from 270 million in 2020 to 279 million in 2024 has increased LPG consumption, potentially leading to future fuel shortages. The top-lit updraft (TLUD) gasifier stove using renewable biomass materials, offers a sustainable alternative. Biomass such as bagasse and sugarcane peel can be optimized into charcoal briquettes with high calorific value and low emissions. The calorific value of briquettes can be further enhanced by blending other high–calorific biomass materials. This experimental research focuses on testing the calorific value of raw bagasse and sugarcane peel before carbonization, as well as briquette mixtures (70:30, 50:50, 30:70) using a bomb calorimeter. The fuel briquettes are tested by operating the TLUD gasifier stove, measuring performance in terms of water boiling time (WBT) and flame characteristics. Results show that the 30:70 bagasse-to-sugarcane peel composition has the highest calorific value (6,242.292 cal/gram), followed by the 70:30 composition (6,094.753 cal/gram) and the 50:50 composition (5,657.935 cal/gram). The 30:70 ratio also achieved the longest flame duration (119 minutes 32 seconds), the highest combustion chamber temperature (570.2°C), and the greatest flame height (11.468 cm). The TLUD stove demonstrated an efficiency of 56.41%, with a char weight of 61 grams and a water temperature increase from 28.4°C to 90.4°C in 10 minutes 45 seconds. These briquettes met the SNI 01-6235-2000 standard, which requires a minimum calorific value of 5000 cal/g.
