Abstract

Ethanol has higher octane and oxygen properties than fossil-fuel gasoline. Along with the increase in gasoline dependency and exhaust emissions, the use of ethanol as a fuel is urgently studied. This study aimed to observe the concentration of 5% ethanol in gasoline on the performance and exhaust emissions of a 150cc gasoline engine that was operated at 1000, 2000, and 3000rpm. The observation results show that the concentration of 5% ethanol in gasoline correlates with an increase in performance with indications of an increase in EGT, Brake power, BTE, and a decrease in SFC. On the emission side, it is also correlated with an increase in the quality of exhaust emissions with indications of increased CO2 emissions and reduced CO and HC emissions. The best correlation of 5% ethanol concentration was obtained at an operating speed of 2000rpm with an increase in EGT of 10.70%, an increase in Brake power of 9.49%, an increase in BTE of 38.62%, an increase in CO2 emissions of 23.06%, a decrease in SFC of 26 .49%, CO emission reduction of 16.67%, and HC emission reduction of 4.24%.

Abstract

Cooling towers are critical components in geothermal power generation systems, playing a vital role in maintaining thermal efficiency and managing water resources. This study investigates the thermal performance and water loss due to evaporation in an induced draft counter-flow cooling tower using a modeling and simulation approach based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Validation of the simulation results against actual data demonstrated high accuracy, with an error margin of 1.8%, indicating that CFD is a reliable method for analyzing and optimizing cooling tower design Simulation results show that increasing the hot water inlet temperature from 35°C to 49°C leads to a rise in evaporation loss from 5.0 kg/s to 13.0 kg/s (CFD), while the ASHRAE method yields higher values, ranging from 5.5 kg/s to 14.5 kg/s. For variations in hot water mass flow rate (423–845 kg/s), the ASHRAE method exhibits a linear increase in evaporation loss, whereas CFD results remain relatively stable. Additionally, increasing the hot water mass flow rate causes the cold-water outlet temperature to decrease from 21°C to 11°C, accompanied by a reduction in system effectiveness from 92% to 86%. Furthermore, increasing the cold air inlet velocity from 3.5 m/s to 6.5 m/s raises the evaporation loss from 14.5 kg/s to 16.0 kg/s (CFD) and significantly enhances system effectiveness from 11% to 91%. Overall, the findings demonstrate that CFD simulations provide realistic performance estimations compared to empirical methods, particularly under dynamic operating conditions.

Abstract

ABSTRAKUntuk mereduksi emisi Gas Rumah Kaca (GRK), Pemerintah Indonesia mengajukan kebijakan untuk mengaplikasikan teknologi berbasis Energi Terbarukan (EBT) di PT PLN (Persero) dengan menerapkan co-firing di PLTU batubara. Untuk mengevaluasi karakteristik co-firing biomassa BBJP dilakukan pengujian dengan metode direct co-firing dan uji laboratorium untuk mendapatkan komposisi biomassa BBJP melalui Analisis Proksimat dan Analisis Ultimate. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa Gross Caloric Value (as received) dan Hardgrove Grindability Index (as received) biomassa BBJP 2646 Kcal/kg dan 20. Hasil uji arus pulverizer, pulverizer outlet temperature, AFR pulverizer mengalami peningkatan seiring kenaikan persentase biomassa BBJP dan sebaliknya untuk coal flow mengalami penurunan. Hasil uji Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) co-firing biomassa BBJP 5% sebesar 0,58 dan NPHR 2.687 kcal/kWh.Kata kunci: co-firing, SFC, biomassa, pulverizer, Hardgrove Grindability Index ABSTRACTTo reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the Government of Indonesia has proposed a policy to apply Renewable Energy-based technology (EBT) at PT PLN (Persero) by implementing co-firing in coal-fired power plants. To evaluate the co-firing characteristics of BBJP biomass, tests were conducted using the direct co-firing method and laboratory tests to obtain the composition of BBJP biomass through Proximate Analysis and Ultimate Analysis. The test results showed that the Gross Caloric Value (as received) and Hardgrove Grindability Index (as received) of BBJP biomass were 2,646 Kcal/kg and 20. The test results of pulverizer flow, pulverizer outlet temperature, AFR pulverizer increased as the percentage of BBJP biomass increased and vice versa for coal flow decreased. Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC) test results of co-firing 5% BBJP biomass amounted to 0.58 and NPHR of 2,687 kcal/kWh.Keywords: co-firing, SFC, biomass, pulverizer, Hardgrove Grindability Index
