“…In another experimental study carried out by Patel et al [95], the same investigation was done with a mineral diesel, Karanja biodiesel (KB100), and Karanja biodiesel-diesel blend (KB20). The results showed that the diesel combustion exhibited the best vibration performance in the lateral direction, whereas KB100 generated the highest levels of vibrations in this direction.…”

“…Secondly, among the fuel blends, B30JME40 (30% JME, 70% diesel, 40 nm size nanoparticle) and B20JME40 (20% JME, 80% diesel, 40 nm size nanoparticle) displayed a better performance due to having high heat release rate (HRR), metal vaporization and oxidation, catalytic behavior, and combustion rate, which generated lower vibrations (under all loads, when H 2 gas was added at 0.5 L min −1 to the blends.

Internal combustion engines (ICEs) are the primary source of power generation in today’s driving vehicles. They convert the chemical energy of the fuel into the mechanical energy which is used to drive the vehicle. In this process of energy conversion, several parameters cause the engine to vibrate, which significantly deteriorate the efficiency and service life of the engine. The present study aims to gather all the recent works conducted to reduce and isolate engine vibration, before transmitting to other vehicle parts such as drive shafts and chassis. For this purpose, a background history of the ICEs, as well as the parameters associated with their vibration, will be introduced. The body of the paper is divided into three main parts: First, a brief summary of the vibration theory in fault detection of ICEs is provided. Then, vibration reduction using various mechanisms and engine modifications is reviewed. Next, the effect of using different biofuels and fuel additives, such as alcohols and hydrogen, is discussed. Finally, the paper ends with a conclusion, summarizing the most recent methods and approaches that studied the vibration and noise in the ICEs.

Purpose Vast areas have been studied toward combustion and emission analysis in vegetable oil methyl esters and quite a few in algal oil biodiesel. To analyze the better alternate source for diesel engine, this study aims to investigate the combustion behavior and emission characteristics between cottonseed biodiesel and algal oil biodiesel on comparison with mineral diesel in a compression ignition engine. Design/methodology/approach The fuel properties like density, kinematic viscosity, calorific value and Cetane number have met the biodiesel standards for both algal and cottonseed biodiesel. At rated power, engine was operated on all three test fuels, where combustion analysis describing in-cylinder pressure, peak pressure, rate of pressure rise and rate of heat release and emission characteristics including hydrocarbon (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and smoke for both biodiesel comparing mineral diesel. Findings Algal and cottonseed biodiesel showed up to 2-3°CA delayed start of combustion comparing mineral diesel curve. The in-cylinder pressure of algal biodiesel was found to be 68 bar, whereas cottonseed biodiesel exhibited 65 bar at full load condition. Similarly, the rate of pressure rise and rate of heat release of algal biodiesel depicted 7.9 and 10.7 per cent rise than cottonseed biodiesel, respectively. As the load increased, ignition delay showed decreasing trend, while combustion duration showed an increasing trend. HC, CO and smoke emissions were seen to be lower than mineral diesel with noticeable increase in NOx emission. Originality/value In this present investigation, biodiesel from Stoechospermum Marginatum, a marine marco algae, was used to fuel the compression ignition engine. Its combustion behavior and emission characteristics are compared with cottonseed biodiesel, a vegetable oil-based biodiesel having similar physio-chemical characteristics to understand the suitability of algal biodiesel in compression ignition engine. This study involves the assessment of straight biodiesel from macro algae and cottonseed oil on standard operating conditions.

“…The vibration at engine support transmits throughout the other car components and finally reach car seats. The vertical and horizontal vibration of the car seat causes of driver and passengers discomfort with low resonance frequencies [20][21]. Qiu and Griffin [22] reported that the resonance frequencies of the fore-aft vibration of the seat pan and the backrest are below 50 Hz.…”

Hydrogen-diesel dual fuel is used as alternative energy in a diesel engine for saving diesel fuel and protecting the environment. Hydrogen is sustainable, renewable, and carbon-free. It can be produced from various procedures. Hydrogen addition affects engine vibration and car seat vibration. This article presents the effect of hydrogen flow rate on root mean square value and spectrum of the vibration of the engine support. The four-stroke single-cylinder diesel engine is tested with hydrogen-diesel dual fuel by varying hydrogen flow rate. The vibration of the engine support is measured at two constant speeds with three different loads. The root means square and the fast Fourier transform of the engine support vibration are calculated to analyze the vibration signals. The results of the root mean square of the total acceleration show that the root means square value of the engine support vibrations tends to increase by adding the hydrogen flow rate. The fast Fourier transform spectrums in the experimental results show that the average peak acceleration of the first three engine frequencies around 0 to 70 Hz tends to decrease by adding the hydrogen flow rate. The car seat resonance vibration at this frequency range can be reduced by adding the hydrogen flow rate.
