PENGARUH PENAMBAHAN NANO KARBON FULLERENE pada MINYAK HASIL PIROLISIS LDPE terhadap KARAKTERISTIK PEMBAKARAN SINGLE DROPLET

Abstract

This study was performed on pyrolysis oil of low density polyethylene (LDPE), the method used is single droplet combustion with the addition of fullerene carbon nano is one way to help increase the rate of evaporation and combustion. LDPE pyrolysis oil is processed through a single droplet combustion device with variations of the addition of nano carbon fullerene of 0 PPM, 1 PPM and 5 PPM, the addition of nano carbon. The data obtained from this study are droplet temperature, flame height, flame width, droplet diameter and burning rate due to the effect of adding nano carbon fullerene to LDPE pyrolysis oil. The results show that the droplet evaporation rate of life time with the addition of nano carbon fullerene 5 PPM is 8.059564099s, the lowest burning rate to time is LDPE 5 PPM with a longer burning rate of 0.0034 mm2/s, the highest temperature of the LDPE 0 PPM variation of 818.5 ℃, the flame height of the 1 PPM variation is 21.923 mm, and the highest flame width of the 5 PPM addition variation is 10.431 mm.
