The depletion of fossil fuel resources and environmental pollution are two major crises that are currently faced by mankind. As the solution for the crises, an additive liquid like Tripmexx is introduced into automotive industries to increase performance of internal combustion engine, hence reducing bad emission to the environment. The objective of the study is to investigate the effect of various Tripmexx mixed into 80% diesel and 20% biodiesel (B20) with an amount of 0.1 ml (B20-0.1), 0.2ml (B20-0.2), and 0.3ml (B20-0.3) compared to conventional pure diesel. The experiment was carried out by using single cylinder, four-stroke diesel engine, and conducted with constant speed at range of 1000, 1500, and 2000 rpm with various load range from 2Nm to 6Nm. For constant speed 2000 rpm, the B20-0.3 is in lower brake specific fuel consumption value compared to the diesel fuel by 40% on average. The blend B20-0.3 produce higher brake thermal efficiency reading compared to diesel fuel by 5%. Besides, the carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon product of B20-0.3 is lower than diesel fuel by 92% and 0.002% respectively. However, the nitrogen oxide and carbon dioxide produced by B20-0.3 is higher than diesel fuel by 68% and 50% respectively. In overall, the B20-0.3 shows the best results for all measured parameters at all engine test due to consideration of green fuel.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
