PENINGKATAN PERFORMA MESIN DIESEL DENGAN MEMANFAATKAN BAHAN BAKAR CAMPURAN SOLAR DAN AMPAS TAHU

Abstract

Nowadays, the need for petroleum is increasing, this is an impetus to look for alternative resources to replace the use of petroleum. One way to create alternative energy sources is bio diesel. In addition to these raw materials, bio diesel can also be obtained from waste tofu. Waste tofu are industrial waste processing soybeans into tofu which are mostly only used as an alternative to animal feed. By varying the diesel - bio diesel mixture from waste tofu, the best performance will be obtained and the obstacles that arise so that a useful recommendation will be obtained. Firstly, making bio diesel from waste tofu, then missing the fuel after that data will be collected on the diesel engine to get performance results in the form of power, torque and fuel consumption. Data retrieval was carried out with four loading conditions, namely with a load using a lamp of 500 watts, 1000 watts, 1500 watts and 2000 watts. From the results of the tests that have been carried out. B20 has the highest power and torque values, value B10 has the lowest fuel consumption value.
