An experimental study has been done to examine the performance and emission of a diesel engine using different blend ratios of Jatropha oil methyl ester at different engine speeds. At each speed, the engine was operated at no load, quarter, half, three quarters, and full load for different blending ratios. The performance parameters evaluated include Brake Power (BP), Brake Mean Effective Pressure (BMEP), brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC), air to fuel ratio (AFR), excess air factor, brake thermal efficiency, volumetric efficiency and the temperature of exhaust gas whereas exhaust emissions include specific emissions of O2, CO, CO2, and NOx. Biodiesel blends result in a decrease of brake power by 30.8 %, decreases in air to fuel ratio by 18 %, decreases in brake thermal efficiency by 21 %, decreases in volumetric efficiency by 10.7 % and increases in brake specific fuel consumption by 32.18 %. Specific emission of O2, CO, and NOx increases with increasing the percentage of biodiesel in fuel blends. Specific emission of CO2 decreases with increasing the rate of biodiesel in fuel blends. The results suggest that biodiesel obtained from non-edible oil like Jatropha could be a decent substitute to diesel fuel in the diesel engine.

The performance and emission affected by piston catalytic coating have been analyzed in this study. The main contributing factors for improving performance such as load, fuel and speed have been preferred to reduce the emission and improve the performance of an IC engine. These specific standard parameters have been modified with copper alloy coated diesel engine with the aid of design of experiment by Taguchi with grey relational analysis optimization (GRA) method, for improving the IC engine performance and reducing the emissions. The result shows modified copper chromium zirconium (CuCr1Zr) catalytic coated piston produces less emission and improves performance when compared to standard un-coated piston type engine. In this investigation cotton seed oil is used as a bio-diesel and the piston and combustion chamber were coated with copper chromium zirconium material with a thickness of 250 microns. Finally the results of the experiments were compared with un-coated engine and optimized parameters have been identified for catalytic coated modified IC engine using Taguchi with GRA approach.IC engine is the main power source of automotive vehicles. The engine consists of many parts such as piston, cylinder head, cylinder block, etc. Piston and cylinder head are the most important components of IC engine because the power of IC engine depends upon the combustion taking place in combustion chamber. It is located above the piston and bottom of the cylinder head. As the result of the combustion pollutants are produced. Combustion is burning of fuel combined with air. In this chemical process, fuel like hydro carbon combined with oxygen and produces harmful gases leading to air pollution. During the combustion process, oxidization, does not occur properly. So, carbon monoxide is produced, and hydro carbon emission occur due to light load as the lean mixture 1 , So flame speed during the combustion may be too low or in-complete combustion may be occur 2 and hence emission level of HC, CO and NOx in the exhaust gas discharged into the atmosphere through tail pipe is higher compared to copper coated piston type engine. These gases cause many drawbacks to the society. To overcome this problem, catalytic material (copper -chromium -zirconium) is used in the form of 250 -micron coating over the piston crown and combustion chamber walls. The coating of piston and combustion chamber is done using plasma spraying process of thermal spraying technique. Rameshbabu et al. proved that the catalytic coating, reduced the required ignition energy and the flame velocity is increased 3 . Winkler M. F et al. stated that coated diesel engine gives better performance 4 . Jeyakumar et al., state that cotton seed bio diesel can be used as an alternative fuel for control the emissions like CO, HC of a diesel engine 5 .The experimental works were conducted in catalytic coated IC engine. The engine was tested with diesel, cotton seed oil blending with diesel fuel with the ratio of 10% to 20% and by varying the engine performance and emissions p...

“…Penggunaan bahan bakar dengan nilai kalor yang tinggi akan meningkatkan performa mesin. Hal ini akibat besarnya energi kalor yang dihasilkan sehingga kualitas proses pembakaran menjadi lebih baik [11]. Oleh karena itu, biodiesel dengan campuran alkohol butanol memiliki potensi kualitas pembakaran dan emisi yang lebih baik dibandingkan biodiesel dengan campuran alkohol metanol atau etanol.…”

Biodiesel menjadi program prioritas untuk mengurangi ketergantungan bahan bakar solar. Penggunaan biodiesel B20 terbukti bisa dijadikan bahan bakar tanpa memodifikasi spesifikasi mesin diesel. Pengembangan biodiesel dengan prosentase minyak sawit yang lebih tinggi terus dikembangkan agar ketergantungan terhadap bahan bakar solar semakin rendah. Akan tetapi, tingginya viskositas biodiesel menjadi kendala sehingga ditambahkan alkohol untuk mengurangi permasalahan pada proses penginjeksian bahan bakar. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengobservasi propertis biodiesel campuran solar-minyak goreng sawit-metanol/etanol/butanol yang dikorelasikan dengan potensi emisi gas buang dan performa yang dihasilkan mesin diesel. Minyak goreng sawit yang digunakan sebesar 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, dan 85%. Sedangkan alkohol metanol/etanol/butanol yang digunakan sebesar 15%. Berdasarkan hasil uji fisik dan kimia, semakin tinggi kandungan minyak goreng sawit, propertis biodiesel semakin buruk. Biodiesel campuran solar-minyak goreng sawit-metanol memiliki potensi emisi gas buang dan performa mesin yang hampir sama dengan bahan bakar solar.
