Parametric Optimization Of Single Cylinder Diesel Engine For Palm Seed Oil & Diesel Blend For Brake Thermal Efficiency Using Taguchi Method

Abstract

-An experimental study has been carried out for palm seed oil blended with diesel used in a single cylinder diesel engine. Palm seed oil is obtained from the seeds of palm tree. In this study, the effects of parameters` i.e. load, compression ratio and injection pressure are taken as variable for optimization. As the experiment required simultaneously optimization of three parameters with three levels, Taguchi method of optimization is used in this experiment. The results of the Taguchi experiment identify that 16 compression ratio, injection pressure 180 bar and engine load 10kg are optimum parameter setting for highest brake thermal efficiency. Engine performance is mostly influenced by engine load and is least influenced by compression ratio. Confirmation experiment was done using an optimum combination showed that the brake thermal efficiency was found by experiment is closer to the predicted value.

Analysis and Performance Optimization of Variable Compression Ratio Diesel Engine using Canola Oil Based Biodiesel

“…9.3393 having rank 1 and minimum i.e. 0.0601 for Compression ratio having rank 3, it means Load is having maximum and compression ratio is having minimum effect of on Brake Power [31] this result can be confirmed with S/N ratio and ANOVA [32,33].…”

Optimization of Diesel Engine Performance and Emission Characteristics Employing Hybrid Taguchi-Gtma-Utility Technique

“…In the present study design of experiments employing Taguchi technique was formulated to meet the targets minimizing the quality cost. [14][15][16][17][18] By employing the diesel engine input control parameters the overall responses are optimized 18 which maximizes the performance and minimizes the emission characteristics. The engine releases nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide (NOx) are most dangerous to human health and leads to respiratory problems.…”

Combine Effect of Variable Compression Ratio and Diffuser at Exhaust Manifold for Single Cylinder CI Engine using Diesel and Palm Biodiesel

“…The brake thermal efficiency of the engine operating cycle is improved when compression ratio increase, and depends on the mechanical efficiency, which reduce when CR increase [8]. The key problem is that diesel engines do not run at the same loads.The engine in a truck, for example, sometimes play on full power along a highway or up the hill, and sometimes on idle speed at low loads.…”
