Fundamental Study of Diesel Engine Performance by Implementing Oil from Tropical Kepayang Seeds (Pangium edule)

Abstract:

Kepayang is a plant commonly found in tropical regions especially in Aceh, which has not been optimally used by local people. Based on traditional processes, kepayang seeds are potentially capable of producing oil. The objective of this research is to examined the effects of specific fuel consumption, power generation, and the thermal efficiency on engine performance by using kepayang seeds oil. The problem will be evaluated the effect of variations of biodiesel fuel (B-0, B-10 and B-20) and variation engine rotation on the diesel engine performance. In order to perform this research, the Yanmar TS-50 engine which had rotation of 2400 rpm and maximum power of 2 kW was selected. By examining the result of the research it was concluded that there were not significant effects of varied fuel consumption on the low speed (1000 rpm to 1800 rpm) engine rotation. However for engine speed more than 1800 rpm there were somewhat effects of them on engine performance. It is evident that at the engine rotation of 2000 rpm, the fuel consumption of biodiesel (B-20) and the power generated were lower than compare to biodiesel (B-10 and B-0). On the other hand, the thermal efficiency for biodiesel (B-20) was higher than compared to other biodiesel (B-10 and B-0).
