Abstract

The study focused on the feasibility of soybean oil to use as a biofuel. This study presented the viability of soybean oil in terms of density, flashpoint, sulfur, heating value, specific fuel consumption, and ash content. It also showed the performance result when tested on a diesel engine in terms of fuel consumption, revolution per minute, the temperature at the exhaust pipe, cylinder head, engine block, brake power, and brake thermal efficiency. Soybean oil undergoes the process of transesterification to be used as a biofuel. It was mixed with commercially available diesel fuel upon testing in the diesel engine. The mixture contained 90% diesel fuel and 10% transesterified soybean oil. After testing, the performance of the diesel engine was measured. Transesterified soybean oil was feasible to use as a fuel according to the testing conducted. However, some improvements must have been made to increase the brake thermal efficiency. Evaluating different mixtures for diesel fuel and transesterified soybean oil must also be considered to get more efficient data. It is recommended to include emission testing for future studies.

使用混有柴油的酯交换大豆油的柴油发动机性能测试

研究重点是大豆油用作生物燃料的可行性。这项研究从密度、闪点、硫、热值、特定燃料消耗量和灰分含量等方面介绍了大豆油的可行性。研究还显示了在柴油发动机上进行测试时，在燃料消耗、每分钟转数、排气管温度、气缸盖温度、发动机缸体温度、制动功率和制动热效率等方面的性能结果。大豆油经过酯交换过程后可用作生物燃料。在柴油发动机中测试时，大豆油与市售柴油混合。混合物中含有 90% 的柴油和 10% 的酯交换大豆油。测试后，测量了柴油发动机的性能。根据测试结果，使用酯交换大豆油作为燃料是可行的。不过，必须进行一些改进，以提高制动热效率。还必须考虑评估柴油和酯化大豆油的不同混合物，以获得更有效的数据。建议在今后的研究中加入排放测试。
