Abstract
Depletion of petroleum reserves causing scarcity and higher prices has lead to the rise of biodiesel fuel as a renewable alternative fuel source for diesel engine. Biodiesel has higher viscosity and flash point compared to that of diesel that it influences the combustion process in diesel engine. This research aims finding out the effect of integration of magnetic field and heating techniques in biodiesel exhaust toward torque, power and fuel consumption of one-cylinder R 175-A diesel engine, with B5 biodiesel fuel (95% diesel + 5% biodiesel from used cooking oil), with varying engine rotation of 1200, 1500, 1700, 2100, and 2500 rpm, with temperature heater set to 70°C, and with magnetic field strength of 0.0314 Tesla. The results show that the effects of magnetic field and heater were able to increase the performance of the optimum torque engine obtained at 1700 rpm and with the highest optimum torque from the use of marketed biodiesel fuels market with magnetic field and heater was 17.16Nm. The use of both with B5 biodiesel fuel at maximum load produced power of 4.081kw at the highest at 2500 rpm engine speed. It is concluded that the application of both can reduce fuel consumption to 10%. The magnetic field and heater in the fuel line affect the torque, power and fuel consumption of one cylinder four stroke diesel engine.
