Diesel Engine Performance Test Biodiesel oil from Indian Ivy-Rue

Abstract

This research aims to test diesel engine performance of 2,500 cc engine volume cylinder size by using diesel and biodiesel: diesel with ratio 5:95, 20:80 and 50:50. Results showed that power engine of biodiesel increases 8.5%. For 50% biodiesel concentration, an average engine power of 99.5 HP, an average wheel power 79.6 HP, an average resistance of the drag power of 18.8 HP at torque 251.7 Nm, and an engine cycles 2,085 rpm. In addition, they also found that the average carbon monoxide incomplete combustion of 0.54 g/km. that lower than that of diesel.
