Sample Size Effect On Combustion Analysis, Osueke C. O, Uguru Okorie Daniel, Aondoyila Kuhe Jul 2015

Sample Size Effect On Combustion Analysis, Osueke C. O, Uguru Okorie Daniel, Aondoyila Kuhe

Innovative Research Publications IRP India

Engine parameters vary from one cycle to the other and this makes engine analysis with data from a single working cycle insufficient in capturing or modelling an engine behaviour. The variation observed in engine has necessitated the use sample sizes of data obtained during an engine operation to obtain results that are representative of the engine being investigated. Research has shown that the use of very large data sample size increases the storage needed and processing time and does not necessary give better results over results obtained with lesser sample sizes. The number of sample size to use for analysis …


Effect Of N-Butanol And Diethyl Ether As Oxygenated Additives On Combustion-Emission-Performance Characteristics Of A Multiple Cylinder Diesel Engine Fuelled With Diesel-Jatropha Biodiesel Blend Apr 2015

Effect Of N-Butanol And Diethyl Ether As Oxygenated Additives On Combustion-Emission-Performance Characteristics Of A Multiple Cylinder Diesel Engine Fuelled With Diesel-Jatropha Biodiesel Blend

Faculty of Engineering University of Malaya

Jatropha biodiesel is considered as one of the most prospective renewable energy sources of Malaysia in recent years. Hence, an investigation was conducted for the improvement of jatropha biodiesel-diesel blend with the addition of 5-10% n-butanol and diethyl ether by vol. which are commonly known as oxygenated cold starting additive. Engine tests were conducted at variable speed, ranging from 1000 rpm to 3000 rpm at constant 80 N m torque on a 4-cylinder turbocharged indirect injection diesel engine. Engine performance parameters like brake specific fuel consumption, brake specific energy consumption, brake thermal efficiency and engine emissions like carbon monoxide, unburned …


Characterization And Prediction Of Blend Properties And Evaluation Of Engine Performance And Emission Parameters Of A Ci Engine Operated With Various Biodiesel Blends Jan 2015

Characterization And Prediction Of Blend Properties And Evaluation Of Engine Performance And Emission Parameters Of A Ci Engine Operated With Various Biodiesel Blends

Faculty of Engineering University of Malaya

The present research is aimed to investigate the feasibility of using palm (PB), mustard (MB) and Calophyllum biodiesel (CB) as renewable and alternative fuels. Biodiesels were produced from the respective crude vegetable oils and physicochemical properties of the biodiesel-diesel blends were graphically compared for all possible biodiesel blends at every 10% composition interval. By applying the curve-fitting method, equations were developed for predicting important properties, which show very close fit to the experimental data. This will help future research such as the optimization of blending percentage, engine combustion and performance and emission analysis. As up to 20% blends of biodiesels …
