Environmental Assessment of a Diesel Engine Under Variable Stroke Length and Constant Compression Ratio

Exergy and Energy Analysis of Diesel Engine using Karanja Methyl Ester under Varying Compression Ratio

The necessity for decrease in consumption of conventional fuel, related energy and to promote the use of renewable sources such as biofuels, demands for the effective evaluation of the performance of engines based on laws of thermodynamics. Energy, exergy, entropy generation, mean gas temperature and exhaust gas temperature analysis of CI engine using diesel and karanja methyl ester blends at d...

Effect of Ignition Timing, Equivalence Ratio, and Compression Ratio on the Performance and Emission Characteristics of a Variable Compression Ratio Si Engine using Ethanol-Unleaded Gasoline Blends

This paper investigates the effect of ethanol-unleaded gasoline blends (E0,E10,E25,E35,andE65) computer interfaced, four-stroke single cylinder compression ignition engine. The said engine wasconverted to spark ignition and carburetion to suit ethanol fuel. A suitable provision was provided on theengine to vary the compression ratio thereby making the engine adaptable to operate at lowercompres...

Numerical investigation of the variation of compression ratio on performance and exhaust emission of a turbo-diesel engine

Changing the compression ratio and presence of turbocharger are two important issues, affecting on performance, and exhaust emissions in internal combustion engines. To study the functional properties and exhaust emissions in regards to compression ratio at different speeds, the numerical solution of the governing equations on the fluid flow inside the combustion chamber and the numerical solut...

Application of polynomial vector (pv) processing to improve the estimation performance of bio diesel in variable compression ratio diesel engine

This paper presents the implementation of polynomial vector back propagation algorithm (PVBPA) for estimating the power, torque, specific fuel consumption and presence of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons in the emission of a direct injection diesel engine. Experimental readings were obtained using the biodiesel prepared form the waste low quality cooking oil collected from the canteen of Sri Saira...
