Abstract
This research analyzes the influence of hydroxy on pure diesel and blends of palm oil and coffee husk biodiesel with percentages of 15% and 20%. The experimental tests were carried out in a stationary diesel engine, where the torque and speed varied from 3–7 Nm and 3000–3600 rpm. Hydroxy was used as a secondary fuel with a volumetric flow injection of 4 and 8 lpm. The injection of hydroxy can reduce the BSFC and increase the BTE of the engine when running on pure diesel and biodiesel blends. The results show a maximum decrease of 11.66%, 11.28%, and 10.94% in BSFC when hydroxy is injected into D100, D85P10C5, and D80P10C10 fuels. In the case of BTE, maximum increases of 13.37%, 12.84%, and 12.34% were obtained for the above fuels. The fuels D100 + 8 lpm, D85P10C5 + 8 lpm, and D80P10C10 + 8 lpm achieved maximum energy efficiencies of 28.16%, 27.58%, and 27.32%, respectively. In the case of exergy efficiency, maximum values of 26.39%, 25.83%, and 25.58% were obtained. The environmental and social costs of CO, CO 2 , and HC emissions are significantly reduced with the addition of hydroxy in pure diesel and biodiesel blends from palm oil and coffee husk. The injection of a volumetric flow rate of 8 l/min results in reductions of 11.66%, 10.61%, and 10.94% in operational cost when the engine is fueled with D100, D85P10C5, and D80P10C10, respectively, complying with standards essential for safe engine operation. In general, the research conducted indicates that hydroxy injection is a viable alternative for reducing fuel consumption and improving engine efficiency when using biodiesel blends made from palm oil and coffee husk.
