The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of fuel injection pressure on power performance and fuel consumption of diesel engine. In a diesel engine, fuel injection pressure is an important aspect of the engines’ power performance in order to obtain combustion treatment. The experiments in this paper are performed on a four-cylinder two-stroke direct injection diesel engine. The d...

Investigations were carried out to evaluate the performance of direct injection diesel engine with medium grade low heat rejection (LHR) combustion chamber and 3 mm air gap insulated piston, 3 mm air gap insulated liner, and ceramic coated cylinder head [ceramic coating with the thickness of 500 µ was made on the inside portion of the cylinder head].The engine had different operating conditions...

the objective of this work was to develop a new design of an intake manifold through a 1d simulation. it is quite familiar that a duly designed intake manifold is essential for the optimal performance of an internal combustion engine. air flow inside the intake manifold is one of the important factors, which governs the engine performance and emissions. hence the flow phenomenon inside the inta...

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the performance of a low heat rejection (LHR) diesel engine. Performance parameters and emission levels were determined at various magnitudes of brake mean effective pressure. Combustion characteristics of the engine were measured with TDC (top dead centre) encoder, pressure transducer, console and special pressure-crank angle software package at peak load...

global air pollution is a serious threat caused by excessive use of fossil fuels for transportation. despite the fact that diesel fuel is a big environmental pollutant as it contains different hydrocarbons, sulphur and crude oil residues, it is yet regarded as a highly critical fuel due to its wide applications. nowadays, biodiesel as a renewable additive is blended with diesel fuel to achieve ...

according to the global fuel crisis, it seems necessary to use alternative fuel instead of gasoline. since the natural gas is cheaper, have higher frequency than gasoline and less pollution, it is a suitable fuel. many efforts have been done in order to replace gasoline with natural gas. one of the methods is to inject natural gas and gasoline fuel simultaneously and to use the benefits of both...

the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of injection parameters on a heavy duty diesel engine performance and emission characteristics. in order to analyze the injection and spray characteristics of diesel fuel with employing high-pressure common-rail injection system, the injection characteristics such as injection delay, injection duration, injection rate, number of nozzle hole...

diesel fuel has a limited resource and concerns over environmental pollution areleading to the use of ‘bio-origin fuels’ as they are renewable and environmentally benign. jatrophamethyl ester, an esterified biofuel, has an excellent cetane number and a reasonable calorific value.it closely resembles the behaviour of diesel. however, being a fuel of different origin, the standarddesign limits of...

diesel engine emission standards are being more stringent as it gains more publicity in industry and transportation. hence, designers have to suggest new controlling strategies which result in small amounts of emissions and a reasonable fuel economy. to achieve such a target, multi-objective optimization methodology is a good approach inasmuch as several types of objective are minimized or maxi...
