Abstract

The increase in the volume of vehicles resulted in a crisis of fossil fuels so there is a need for alternative fuels to replace gasoline. Butanol and Diethyl Ether (DEE) are alternative fuels that can be added to gasoline. This is because the Octane Number and high O2 levels optimize combustion in the cylinder and increase torque and power and save fuel. This study compares the addition of butanol and DEE to gasoline on torque, power, and Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC). The study used a 160cc gasoline engine with a carburetor with engine speeds of 1000, 2000, and 3000 rpm. Variation of fuel mixture 5%, 10%, and 15% on gasoline. The results showed that the DEE15 mixture increased the highest torque by 28% at 3000 rpm compared to other fuel mixtures. Engine power also increases the highest by 28% when using a mixture of DEE15 compared to other fuels. Meanwhile, BSFC experienced the highest decrease of 19% when using the DEE15 mixture compared to other mixtures.

Abstract

The energy crisis is largely attributed to the extensive use of fossil fuels. Butanol and ethanol can be used as an alternative energy source because their characteristics are superior to those of gasoline, such as RON and oxygen content. This study aims to determine the effect of gasoline-butanol and gasoline-ethanol mixtures on engine performance so that they can be an option to replace fossil fuels. The percentage of alcohol (butanol and ethanol) in gasoline is 5%, 10%, and 15% with variations in engine speed of 1000, 2000, and 3000 rpm. This study uses a dynamometer as a tool to measure engine performance. Test results show that E15 can increase engine torque and power by up to 26%, while B15 increases by 19%. In addition, ethanol can reduce BSFC better than butanol. The BSFC value decreased by 17% in E15, while B15 decreased by 15% compared to pure gasoline. This is because ethanol's RON and oxygen content are higher, so torque and power increase while BSFC decreases. These results prove that gasoline-ethanol is better at improving engine performance than gasoline-butanol.
