Dissertation note: Project paper (Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering with Automotive Engineering) -- Universiti Malaysia Pahang – 2012 Abstract: This report deals with the diesel particulate matter (DPM) of single cylinder diesel engine, the fuel consumption and also the characteristic of fuel. The objectives of this report are to analyze the concentration, size distribution, size diameter of DPM and the fuel consumption of a single cylinder diesel engine by using tire fuel compared to the diesel fuel. This report describes the procedures for finding the characteristic of fuel besides, the experimental setup and procedures for analyzing the DPM and fuel consumption due to usage of the both fuels without any load exerted on the engine. The engine speed used is variable. The DPM are trapped on the filter with the flow rate of the vacuum pump is 20 /min. All the data required for the analysis is obtained from the experiments. The concentration of the DPM are analyzed by weighing the filter before taking the sample, after taking the sample with heated it in the oven for two hours at 500 C (for PM concentration) and after immersed the filter into dichloromethane for 24 hours with heated it in the oven (for SOF concentration). The DS concentration of DPM is analyzed by finding the difference between PM and SOF concentration. The results obtained from calculating and analyzing the required data are plotted in graph and compared for both fuels. The size distributions of DPM diameter are compared for both fuels usage in forms of bar chart. From the result of the experiment show that the tire fuel in terms of fuel consumption, PM concentration, SOF concentration and DS concentration are applicability in diesel engine. Meanwhile, based on the analysis of size distribution, the tire fuel produced a lot of small particles that can affect human health thus it is not suitable to use in the future as an alternative fuel.
