Parametric Optimization of Single Cylinder Diesel Engine Fueled with Karanja Biodiesel & Diesel Blend for Brake Thermal Efficiency using Taguchi method

Biodiesel is a renewable, biodegradable, and efficient fuel that can be blended with petro-diesel in any proportion. The noise in the engine resulting from the combustion has a direct effect on the engine’s performance. Many studies have examined the engines’ vibration and noise when using diesel and biodiesel blends. This study examines the optimization of diesel blends, load, and compression ratio in the aspect of reducing noise on a Kirloskar single-cylinder diesel engine. Noise was measured at the engine and its exhaust on a computerized setup and for different loads. The experimental results showed that a blend with 15% biodiesel, at 7kg load, and 18 compression ratio produced the lowest noise. Moreover, the Taguchi method was utilized, and experimental results were validated by an ANN

Load Variations

On a single-cylinder diesel engine, injection pressure can be adjusted by changing the thickness of the injector shim. In this study, the injection pressure of 180 bar (standard), 190 bar (+1mm shim), and 210 bar (+2mm shim) was examined on a typical single-cylinder diesel engine with pure diesel fuel. The tests carried out at a constant engine speed of 1500 rpm with load variations of 650, 1300, 1950, and 3600 Watts to investigate the effect of injection pressure on output power, brake thermal efficiency (BTE), specific fuel consumption (SFC) and opacity. The results showed that increasing injection pressure could increase the output power by 19.3% and 17.4% by adding 1 mm and 2 mm shims, respectively. SFC decreased 1.97% and 12.3% compared to standard conditions and opacity with 2 mm shim was lower than 1 mm shim. In conclusion, increasing the injection pressure from 180 to 210 bar by adding 2 mm shim can improve the performance of a single cylinder diesel engine, which includes output power, brake thermal efficiency (BTE), specific fuel consumption (SFC) and opacity.
