Parametric Optimization Of Single Cylinder Diesel Engine For Brake Thermal Efficiency Using Palm Seed Oil As A Blend

In this study, a blend of Palm seed oil is in the various proportions like 10%, 20%, 30%, and up to in the diesel fuel added in a direct injection diesel engine. Engine performance have been investigated and compared with the ordinary diesel fuel in a diesel engine. Experimental results show that the BTE characteristics of the mixture of Palm seed oil–diesel fuel are close to the values obtained from diesel fuel.There is required number of experiments which gives results in the form of set of parameter. This set of parameter give different performance with reduction in different fuel consumption. From this sets of parameters, there must be choose set of parameters.in this study, the effects of parameters’ i.e. load, injection pressure, blend are taken as variable for optimization. Taguchi method of optimization is used in this experiment, using Taguchi method numbers of reading are taken so Taguchi experiment identify that injection pressure 200 bar, engine load 10 kg and blend B20D80 are optimum parameter setting for higher brake thermal efficiency.
