Abstract


This Transport facility is the key parameter for development of any country. Worldwide countries are facing the green house effect and environmental pollution problem. The limited and quickly depleting fossils fuel resources have promoted research for second generation fuels for their use in Compression Ignition (CI) engines. Biodiesel [Jatropha Methyl Ester] is the second generation fuel which can be used as an alternative fuel in CI engine. Jatropha Methyl Ester extracted from Jatropha Curcas which can be grown on degraded and forest land with small irrigating maintenance. In this work, the experiments are conducted on CI engine for various operating parameters viz, Compression Ratio, Fuel Injection Pressure, Fuel Fraction, and Injection Timing with four levels each under full load condition. This study aims to find the optimum level of operating parameters as well as develop regression model of the output variables viz, vibration (RMS value of acceleration) of engine head in linear and lateral directions under full load condition as a function of operating parameters. Taguchi’s L16 orthogonal array is applied for reducing the number of runs and time for experiment. Vibration characteristics in linear direction and lateral direction are measured under different levels of operating parameters with full load condition. It was found that the acceleration in linear direction is more as compared to acceleration in lateral direction for each experimental run. Compression Ratio and Fuel Fraction are the significant parameters for corresponding linear and lateral vibration. For linear vibration, optimum levels of operating parameters are; 16.5 Compression Ratio, Pure diesel, 250 bar Injection Pressure and 230 bTDC Injection Timing are found. Similarly, 17.5 Compression Ratio, 30% Fuel Fraction, 270bar Injection Pressure and 250 bTDC Injection Timing are found for lateral vibration.
