Study Of Diesel Engine Performance On The Electromagnetic Effect Of Biodiesel (Waste Cooking Oil)

Abstract

Research has been conducted that the use of electromagnetic fields as a medium to conserve fuel, especially diesel fuel, has proven to be around 7-17%. Given that diesel is one of the conventional fuels whose supply is running low, so that alternative fuels are sought and to slow down the shortage of diesel fuel biodiesel is used from waste cooking oil. The purpose of this study is to analyze the use of electromagnets for biodiesel fuels derived from waste cooking oil. The engine used in this study is a 13 HP diesel engine, the fuel used is a mixture of diesel and biodiesel derived from waste cooking oil with a ratio of B0 (Diesel), B10 (10% Diesel and 90% Biodiesel), B20 (20% Diesel and 80% Biodiesel), B50 (50% Diesel and 50% Biodiesel), B100 (100% Biodiesel). Diesel engines are given a load of 4.45-10.39 KW. The data obtained in the form of the amount of fuel consumption per unit of time and exhaust emissions. The data is used to calculate specific fuel consumption (SFC). The result was a fuel saving of 7-11% this value is still below diesel, this happens considering the mixture uses biodiesel fuel (waste cooking oil) whose viscosity is greater than solar so that a magnetic field that is large enough to break down the molecule is not clumped so that combustion can be more perfect. Reduction of exhaust emissions of CO and NOx by 13-53% and 7-21%
