Vibration Analysis of the Engine Using Biofuel Blends: A Review

Abstract

The vibrations and noise of the internal combustion engine may be affected by several factors such as combustion pressure, movement of the piston-crank mechanism, coolant factor flow, engine body, and fuel inlet of the injector. Various ways have been done to reduce vibration and noise in the engine, including fuel. Alternative biofuels can be used in internal combustion engines without having to modify and change parameters on the machine. Several researchers have studied the effects of vibration and noise in the engine using various fuel mixtures. The results from some literature reported that biodiesel blend fuels proved to reduce vibration and noise in engines as compared to pure diesel. Meanwhile, ethanol fuel mixed with gasoline shows significant vibration changes at engine speeds of 1,500 and 2,500 rpm. The review aims to analyse the effects of vibration and noise on engines fueled by fuel mixtures, as well as fuel properties used as a move for future research. Based on the analysis from several kinds of literature, it shows that the use of biodiesel fuel and ethanol-gasoline can reduce vibration and noise.

Online Big-Data Monitoring and Assessment Framework for Internal Combustion Engine with Various Biofuels

“…Biodiesel fuels are a relatively new-emerging technology for internal combustion engines. Compared to nonrenewable resources such as fossil fuels, biodiesels are generally made from vegetable oils or animal fats [5]. The various biodiesel fuels can be produced by recycling the waste and various natural materials, making them environmentally friendly and with fewer aromatic compounds and sulfur [6,7].…”

Investigation of The Effect Biodiesel-Butanol-Water Fuel Blend Pressure on A Single-Cylinder Diesel Engine

“…Alternative sources of fuel in the world and especially in Southeast Asia currently have sufficient availability [5,6]. A variety of conventional fuels and alcohols have been tested for combustion in diesel engines [7,8]. From various tests conducted by several previous researchers have shown quite good results.…”

Results of engineless studies of power plant supports for machine-tractor units operation

“…The level of vibration load of MTU and selfpropelled vehicles depends on a number of different reasons, among which the following ones are determining: design and mode of operation of the power plant, number, location and parameters of power unit (PU) supports, suspension structure, type of tires used, characteristics of micro profile of road surface, fuel used, etc. [4].…”
