In the environmental context, the air is seriously polluted, especially in developing countries. Among them, toxic exhaust emissions from internal combustion engines are one of the sources with a large proportion. Many solutions have been applied, including using biofuel to replace traditional fuel, which has become popular worldwide. However, biofuel will be available depending on the raw material source in each country with different origins. In this study, we present the application of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) theory to simulate the combustion process of diesel oil - vegetable oil mixture (coconut oil) through Kiva-3V CFD software to limit time and costs before proceeding before conducting experiments to determine the appropriate mixing ratio between coconut oil and diesel oil as fuel for diesel engines, improving engine performance and reducing emissions when using a mixture of diesel fuel and vegetable oil. Research results on the AVL-5402 diesel engine show that the mixing ratio of 5 to 15% coconut oil in diesel oil gives low soot and NOx emissions, with the lowest emissions at the ratio of 15%.
