Biodiesel can be an alternative fuel in Indonesia and can be made from various ingredients. Waste coconut is one of the ingredients that biodiesel can make because it still contains oil around 15-24% of its weight. This study was conducted to determine the characteristics of burning biodiesel from waste coconut. Burning is carried out premixed using a bunsen burner mm at the equivalent ratio of 0.8; 1 and 1. 2. The fuel used is biosolar that producted of PT Pertamina Indonesia mixed with biodiesel from waste coconut with variations in the composition of 0 (B0), 10% (B10), 20% (B20), 30% (B30) and 100% (B100). The flame on the bunser burner is measured it's the flame temperature and taken photographed to obtain the flame height and combustion speed. The results showed that the addition of this type of biosiesel to biosolar lowered the flame temperature because the biodiesel heating value was lower than the biosolar of Pertamina products. This was proven that the decrease in flame temperature caused the flame height to increase and the combustion speed decreased, so that, the biodiesel evaporation process took longer than the biosolar produced by Pertamina.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
