Kaji Komputasional Pengaruh Variasi Temperature Injection Terhadap Performa Mesin Diesel Berbahan Bakar B40
ABSTRACT
The use of biodiesel fuel blends is increasingly being developed as an effort to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and reduce exhaust emissions. One potential blend is B40, which is a mixture of 40% biodiesel and 60% diesel fuel. This study aims to analyze the effect of fuel injection temperature variations on Indicated Mean Effective Pressure (IMEP), power, and torque in B40-fueled diesel engines. The research method was conducted using simulation with OpenFOAM v12 software, where injection temperature variations were set at 50°C, 55°C, 60°C, 65°C, and 70°C. The engine performance parameters analyzed included IMEP, power, and torque at engine speeds ranging from 900 to 3000 RPM. The results showed that variations in injection temperature had a significant effect on the performance of B40-fueled diesel engines. An injection temperature of 65°C produced the best performance with a maximum power of 5.729 kW, torque of 27.37 Nm, and IMEP of 3.370 bar at 2000 RPM. Increasing the fuel temperature to 65°C improved combustion and increased combustion temperature. However, a higher temperature (70°C) actually reduced performance due to a shorter pre-combustion time.
Keywords: biodiesel, OpenFoam, injection temperature, power.
