Experimental Investigation on the Performance of the Diesel Engine using different biodiesel blends of the Castor oil
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 3
Abstract
In this decade, fossil fuel consumption has increased with increase in proportionate industrial growth which consequently increased the vehicle density throughout the world. The emphasis is laid down by many researchers to seek the best alternative fuel resources especially from indigenous renewable feed stocks to meet the current requirement of the fuel demand and to compensate drastic depletion of the fuel reserves. Through many researches made till date biodiesel has proved as a reliable and promising alternate fuel. This paper investigates the effect of Castor biodiesel blends blended with fuel additives like Ethanol and Di Ethyl Ether on the Diesel engine performance. It also deals with the optimization of the BTE and NOx emission using the input parameters like compression ratio, cooling water flow rate and loading. The experiments have been designed using DOE in Minitab 17 and Taguchi's L9 array is employed for forming orthogonal array. ANOVA analysis is used for identifying the contribution of various factor which significantly affects the response followed by Regression analysis to validate the results at optimum set of selected control factors .This study showed the reduction in NOx and improved BTE for Castor biodiesel blended with additives and closely follows the performance given by the diesel as a fuel under same set of parameter levels.
