Abstract

LPG fuel has a high calorific value, is widely available in the market and has low exhaust emissions of CO, CO2 and HC. However, NOx levels are high due to high combustion temperatures so that engine performance decreases. To overcome this, this machine is equipped with magnets and LPG fuel combined with a mixture of bioethanol-gasoline. The purpose of this study was to analyze the magnetic field strength of the engine performance using a mixture of LPG and bioethanol-gasoline. The object of this research is a gasoline engine. The composition of the bioethanol-gasoline fuel is (10:90, 15:85, 20:80). The magnet used has a magnetic intensity of 1500 Gauss. The independent variable is the variation of the fuel mixture and magnetic field, while the fixed variable is engine performance (exhaust emissions, power and torque). As a result, the average engine power increases by 8-16%, engine torque increases by 5-15% and exhaust emissions of HC, NOx and CO are reduced by 47%, 44% and 62%, respectively. In the future, LPG and gasoline-bioethanol mixtures can be used in vehicles as an alternative to electric vehicles. The drawback, the aesthetics of this LPG-fueled vehicle is less attractive.
