The Potent of Carrier Oil on Pretreatment of Crude Jatropha Curcas Oil

Abstract

Jatropha curcas oil is a seed oil or bio-oil, which has advantages compared to others plant’s seed-oil. The advantage of this oil is due to the fact that Jatropha oil does not compete with the food sector. In this research, the potential carrier oil testing was conducted to seek a way in improving the performance of Jatropha oil as lubricant oil, coolant or biodiesel. For this purpose, Jatropha oil was mixed with the other carrier oils in the variation of 0 – 45 %. Each variation was tested to obtain kinematic viscosity and density values. The results of this research was the carrier oils has the potential to be used as the mixing material since it can improve the physical properties of Jatropha oil, before the next process. Kinematic viscosity and density of Jatropha oil decreases as more percentage of mixed carrier oil was added.

Study of Jatropha curcas Linn and Olea europaea as Bio-Oil Lubricant to Physical Properties and Wear Rate

“…When JCO mixed with the potential of carrier oil, it gave the result that EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) and SFO (sunflower oil) have the potential to be used as carrier oil in the pre-treatment process of JCO as lubricant. This is because, the results of the viscosity and density of the mixture of JCO with the two oils that are used as carrier oil make the density and viscosity of JCO also decrease [7]. The modernization of Pongamia and Jatropha curcas oil (JCO) as direct cutting fluids has great potential for use as environmentally friendly and biodegradable metal cutting fluids [8].…”

Analisis Campuran Bahan Bakar Dan Bioetanol Tongkol Jagung Terhadap Performa Kerja Mesin

“…Semua data-data yang telah diperoleh dari lapangan dan dikumpulkan selama penelitian berlangsung, sebelum melakukan analisis peneliti akan menguji kredibilitas datanya terlebih dahulu, adapun kegiatan-kegiatan yang dilakukan oleh peneliti untuk menguji kredibilitas data. [5] Pengumpulan data dilakukan sesuai dengan variabel yang telah ditentukan.…”

“…Padahal, agar pembakaran terjadi secara efisien, suhu mesin tidak boleh terlalu rendah. [5] Grafik 3. 3 Variasi BMEP Pada grafik diatas dapat disimpulkan bahwa variasi campuran bahan bakar memiliki keluaran jaringan tekanan konstan dengan hasil tertinggi pada bahan bakar E15 sebesar 11,91 Psi pada putaran mesin 4500 rpm dan terendah pada bahan bakar E20 sebesar 11,39 Psi pada putaran mesin 4500 rpm.…”

“…[11], [17] Berdasarkan penelitian di atas dapat disimpulkan bahwa penggunaan bahan bakar campuran solar dan biodiesel serta pertalite dan bioethanol, dengan persentase tertentu sangat berpengaruh terhadap kinerja mesin dan emisi yang dihasilkan. [1], [5], [9], [20]…”

Penggunaan Minyak Jagung Halus Sebagai Bahan Baku Biodiesel

“…Penggunaan energi di Indonesia masih di dominasi oleh penggunaan energi tak terbarukan [6]- [8]. Namun, jumlah penduduk di Indonesia yang bertambah dapat memungkinkan meningkatnya pengguanan energi [9]- [11]. Penggunaan energi tak terbarukan yang meningkat dapat berdampak pada menipisnya cadangan sumber daya [12], [13], [14].…”
