Abstract |
|
an experiment study has been carried out for MAHUA oil blended with diesel used in single cylinder CI engine. MAHUA oil is non-edible vegetable oil which is available in large quantities in India. Blending of mahua oil with diesel in maximum possible proportion helps to increase the break thermal efficiency of diesel fuel. This study applies the L16 orthogonal array of the Taguchi method to find out the best injection pressure blend proportion and load for maximum break thermal efficiency. The result of the Taguchi experiment identifies that 10% blend ratio, engine load 10 kg and injection pressure 180 bar are optimum parameter setting for maximum break thermal efficiency. Engine performance is mostly influenced by engine load and least influenced by injection pressure. Confirmation experiment was done using optimum combination showed that break thermal efficiency was found by experiment is closer to the predicated value. |
