Abstract

To determine the effect of intake air temperature on performance of a diesel engine, a study consists of intake air at variable temperature. The Experiment was conducted on Multi fuel, single cylinder, four stroke, Experimental engine connected to eddy current type of dynamometer for load arrangement. The experimental results show that there was a significant relation of the intake air temperature with performance of the engine. Increasing the intake air temperature Brake power, Mechanical efficiency, brake thermal efficiency and indicated thermal efficiency were increase where indicated power, fuel consumption and specific fuel consumption were decrease. Impact of intake air is noticeable when temperature of air is high such as 55ºc.
