Abstract

In recent years, advances in science and technology have changed human lifestyles and increased global energy consumption. The global innovative search for alternative fuels from renewable sources such as biomass has become important, such as biodiesel. The use of biodiesel in diesel engines requires changes in air supply. Proper air supply is needed to obtain optimal engine performance. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using an excess air system on engine performance and exhaust emissions in diesel engines with a mixture of dexlite and biodiesel fuels. The research method used is experimental research and the parameters in this study include the use of an excess air system of 10 L / m, 20 L / m and a load of 300, 400, 500 Watt with biodiesel fuel (B40). The results of this study with the presence of an excess air system can increase combustion efficiency, thus increasing engine engine powerand torque with the most efficient engine power and torque, namely 4.87 KW at a load of 500 watts and 3.101 Nm at a load of 500 watts with excess air of 20 L/m. Fuel consumption also decreases with the presence of an excess air system at 10 L/m load 300 with a value of 0.16 kg/hour. The excess air system can also reduce CO and HC exhaust emissions with excess air of 20 L/m and a load of 300 watts, namely a CO value of 0.02%, an HC value of 18.2 ppm. So the use of excess air is effective in improving engine performance and emissions.

Abstract

This study examined how surface roughness and nanoceramic coating, influences the boiling heat transfer coefficient (BHTC) and critical heat flux (CHF) of a conical cylindrical copper test specimen. Three test specimens exhibiting surface roughness of 0.22 µm, 0.14 µm, and 0.04 µm were analyzed for comparison. Two additional test specimens were treated with nanoceramic coatings utilizing silicon carbide as the base material: one specimen received a single-layer coating and the second was applied with a double-layer coating. The behavior of the bubbles was closely observed with a high-speed camera to deepen the analysis. The experimental results showed that the test specimen with higher surface roughness exhibited higher BHTC and CHF. The 0.22 µm surface roughness specimen demonstrated a 55.69% greater BHTC than the 0.04 µm surface roughness specimen. In contrast, the 0.04 µm surface roughness specimen had the lowest CHF, 426.09 kW/m². Nanoceramic coating also enhanced the BHTC and CHF. The specimen with a single-layer coating had the highest BHTC, 40.81% higher than the uncoated specimen. The specimen with a double-layer coating showed a 60.12% increase in CHF compared to the specimen with a single-layer coating. The bubble observation results indicated that test specimens with higher BHTC and CHF had more active nucleation sites. The quantity of active nucleation sites plays a vital role in producing a large number of bubbles, enhancing heat transfer, and maintaining the surface temperature.

Abstract

The demand for electrical energy is expected to increase annually, making it necessary to reduce reliance on the main power grid. One solution is the use of micro gas turbines, which have a smaller power capacity and require fewer components compared to general gas turbines. In an experimental study, the impact of variations in air fuel ratio on the performance of micro gas turbines was investigated. The results showed that higher air fuel ratios led to an increase in the turbine's performance. The highest values recorded were 0.10 kJ/s for compressor work, 2.81 kJ/s for turbine work, 2.77 kJ/s for net work, 26.25 kJ/s for incoming heat, 8.54% for back work ratio, and 22.3% for thermal efficiency. This indicates that the air fuel ratio indeed influences the performance of micro gas turbines. Kata kunci: air fuel ratio, micro gas turbine, LPG fuel, micro gas turbine performance.

Abstract

A small diesel engine is a machine that has high efficiency but causes a high level of pollution. The most widely used fuel so far is fossil energy which is unrenewable energy. The fruit of the Calophyllum inophyllum plant has great potential to be developed as alternative energy for small diesel engines. In this study, the test fuel used was D100, B100, E5, E10, and E15. The small engine diesel used TG-R180 Diesel with a compression ratio of 20:1 at engine turns 1500, 1800, 2100, and 2400 rpm, and the braking load at a constant prony disc brake is 1,5 kg/cm2. The result of the study using E10 fuel can improve engine performance and can reduce the opacity of the exhaust gas. The highest power in the D100 fuel at 2100 rpm is 8,06 PS. The highest thermal efficiency of E10 fuel is 50,29%. The use of Calophyllum inophyllum biodiesel (B100) can reduce exhaust gas opacity in small diesel engines when compared to the use of D100. E10 fuel has the lowest exhaust gas opacity rate of 4,1%.

Abstract

Dependence on fossil fuels causes significant environmental damage and increases costs and scarcity in the future. To overcome this problem, a transition to renewable energy is needed, one of which is biodiesel which can be obtained from used cooking oil. This study aims to convert used cooking oil that cannot be reused into biodiesel products. Biodiesel synthesis can be carried out by the transesterification process, using NaOH catalyst with concentration variations of 0.5%, 0.75%, 1%, 1.25%, and 1.5% of the total mass of oil. The test parameters are calorific value, density, viscosity and flash point as well as yield on used cooking oil biodiesel products. The test results show that the use of a catalyst concentration of 1% produces more optimal density, viscosity, and calorific value and flash point. Each value is 0.859 g / cm³, 2.34 cSt, 10,356 cal / g, and 139°C. However, the use of a catalyst concentration of 0.5% shows that the biodiesel product is less than optimal. This can be shown by the highest density, viscosity and flash point values of the catalyst concentration variations used. Each value is 0.88 g/cm3, 3.16 cSt and 178°C, while the calorific value is also low with a value of 9,689 cal/g. However, when viewed from the yield, the catalyst concentration of 0.5% produces the highest value of all catalyst concentration variations used with a value of 88%.

Abstract

Ethanol-blended fuels, such as E60 (60% ethanol and 40% gasoline), have gained interest as an alternative to conventional fuels due to their potential to improve engine performance and reduce emissions. However, the effect of excess air on combustion characteristics remains a key factor in optimizing efficiency. This study investigates the impact of varying excess air levels on the performance and emissions of a 100 cc four-stroke spark ignition (SI) engine fueled with E60. The engine was connected to a Prony brake for performance testing, while exhaust emissions were analyzed using a gas analyzer. Results indicate that an excess air level of 22 L/m produced the highest power output (2.48 kW at 1600 rpm) and maximum torque (15.38 N·m at 1200 rpm). Additionally, at 22 L/m, the lowest fuel consumption of 0.110 kg/kWh and the lowest CO emissions were observed. However, at 23 L/m, a decline in performance was noted, likely due to incomplete combustion. The findings suggest that optimizing excess air in ethanol-fueled SI engines enhances performance and minimizes emissions. These insights contribute to the development of efficient combustion strategies for ethanol-based alternative fuels in small-scale transportation applications.
