STUDI EKSPERIMENTAL PENGARUH RESTRICTOR VENTURI DAN ORIFICE PADA AIR INTAKE TERHADAP DAYA, TORSI, DAN AIR FUEL RATIO MESIN HONDA CBR 600 CC MOBIL FORMULA BIMASAKTI UGM

Student formula competition is international formula car competition in student class organized by Japan Society of Automotive Engineers. In this competition, students should build a formula car using 4 stroke gasoline engine with 610 cc maximum capacity. The car needs to be studied to get maximum result for the dynamic events. One of the way to get it is by modifying the air intake system so that the power and torque are appropriate competition requirement. This research is done by changing the air intake from 4 throttle to 1 throttle with restrictor system of 20 mm maximum diameter placed after throttle which is appropriated by SAE International rules. In this research, power, torque, and air fuel ratio that is produced from venturi and orifice will be compared. Both venturi and orifice have same dimensions for the inlet diameter, outlet diameter, and total length.Data retrieving is done by variying gear 1, 2, and 3 which use wheel dynamometer for measuring output power and torque in rear wheels. In this research, venturi in gear 1 generates power and torque 33,7 whp and 17,6 Nm, gear 2 generates 49,8 whp and 27,1 Nm, and gear 3 generates 51,9 whp and 29,7 Nm. While orifice in gear 1 generates power and torque 27 whp and 18,3 Nm, gear 2 generates 35,6 whp and 26 Nm, and gear 3 generates 37,2 whp and 25,7 Nm. For both venturi and orifice have highest value in venturi gear 3. Power and torque will increase by increasing the speed wheel. However, they will decrease if the power and torque reach the maximum values. The venturi is more efficient than orifice because it has bigger air fuel ratio (lean) and produce bigger power and torque

STUDI EKSPERIMENTAL PEMBUATAN BAHAN BAKAR DARI LIMBAH PLASTIK LDPE DENGAN PROSES PIROLISIS TERMAL DAN KATALITIK (ZEOLIT ALAM & Y) SERTA UJI PERFORMANSI MESIN DIESEL

Plastic production increased along with the growth of the world population. Plastic is very popular because it has many advantages compared to other materials. This phenomenon will result in the increase of plastic waste generated. Processing by means of incineration will cause considerable side effects harmful to health. The need for plastic waste management is a serious concern for the preservation of the environment. The most topical issue these days about the depletion of petroleum resources. This is compounded by the lifestyle of the people who are still quite dependent on the presence of petroleum in addition to non optimal use of alternative fuels. This study will try to develop a method of processing plastic waste by means of pyrolysis. Pyrolysis method to be used is the combination of thermal and catalytic pyrolysis method. The raw material used is plastic waste that kind of LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene). Catalytic pyrolysis using natural zeolite catalyst and zeolite Y. Pyrolysis reactor in this study using a fixed batch reactor. Products of this plastic waste pyrolysis oil will be blended with biodiesel Pertamina and tested on diesel engines to determine the performance and emissions produced. Waste plastic pyrolysis method produces liquid products, solid and gas. Catalytic pyrolysis process takes a relatively shorter than the thermal pyrolysis. The results show that the performance and emissions produced by pyrolysis fuel oil-biodiesel mixture is not much different from the use of pure biodiesel. diesel engine test results showed that the plastic waste pyrolysis oil has great potential to become an alternative fuel in the future
