THE PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF A DIESEL ENGINE FUELED WITH BLENDS OF BIODIESEL FROM COCONUT OIL AND DIESEL FUEL

Yuniarto Agus Winoko, Febrio Hendroyono

Abstract


The article discusses the diesel fuel mixed with biodiesel. Diesel fuel mixed with 10% biodiesel is called
B10 and diesel fuel mixed with 20% biodiesel is called B20. The purpose of this study is to determine the
performance of the engine which consists of optimum power, optimum torque and minimum fuel consumption, when using B10
and B20 fuels that have been mixed with diesel fuel. It also determines the optimum power, optimum torque and minimum fuel
consumption, when using B10 and B20 fuels that have been mixed with dexlite. The engine performance test method uses an
experimental laboratory based on ISO 1585 standards when engine speed is 1500 - 4500 rpm with multiples of every 500
rpm.Then the data is presented in graphical form to be analyzed. Based on the results of the analysis, the power increases 1.68%
when using B10 dexlite fuel, torque increases 1.68% when using B10 dexlite fuel, and fuel consumption decreases up to 5% when
using B10 dexlite fuel.
