This study intends to analyze physical and chemical changes using Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) of MGO-bioethanol mixed fuel oil. We will analyze the thermal stability and state changes of MGO-Bioethanol mixed fuel oil and conduct and utilize various basic experiments on its applicability as ship fuel oil in the future and eco-friendly alternative fuels. The physical and chemical conditions set through this experiment were set through non-isothermal heating at about 20°C to 933°C, and the heating rate was 100°C/min, the measurement time was 10 minutes, and the amount of samples in each mixed fuel oil was about 18mg-24mg. In the range of pyrolysis temperatures from 235.241°C to 253.320°C, the weight of BE0 was 30.992%, BE10 was 36.199.%, BE20 was 35.879%, and BE30 was 35.725%, indicating that the pyrolysis temperature and weight tended to increase as the bioethanol content increased.
This study intends to use the possibility of an eco-friendly alternative fuel to be applied to ships as a sample manufacturing method for ship MGO and bioethanol mixed fuel oil as basic evidence. The components of the manufactured mixed fuel oil were analyzed using the ISO-8217 standard testing method. As a result of analysis showed that in the lower calorific value decreased to 43030J/g at BE0 fuel and 37010J/g at BE30 fuel. The high calorific value decreased to 46.065MJ/kg at BE0 fuel and 39.460MJ/kg at BE30 fuel. The density decreased to 840.8kg/m3 at BE0 fuel and 837.0kg/m3 at BE30 fuel. In the case of flash point it was 67.5℃ when BE0, and decreased to less than 40.0℃ when BE10 to BE30. Finally the Kinematic Viscosity was 3.011mm2/s at BE0 and decreased to 2.502mm2/s at BE30.
