Abstract
Rapid urbanization and the increasing prosperity of the world's population have led to a rise in energy demand. Humans mainly rely on energy for their standard of living and it plays an important role in the development of the country's socio-economy. Due to the increasing concerns about the environment, the scope of the investigation of alternative energy sources has increased. One of these is biodiesel, which is a type of fuel used to replace diesel. The goal of this study is to analyze the effects of Margosa biodiesel on the performance of diesel engines. It also aims to identify the optimal fuel composition for these engines. To achieve the best possible performance, various tests are conducted on a VCR-diesel engine. The data collected during the study revealed that the performance parameters of BD-10 fuel are higher than those of margosa oil. These include mechanical efficiency, brake thermal efficiency and specific fuel consumption.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Vehicle Structures and Systems (IJVSS) is a quarterly journal and is published by MechAero Foundation for Technical Research and Education Excellence (MAFTREE), based in Chennai, India. MAFTREE is engaged in promoting the advancement of technical research and education in the field of mechanical, aerospace, automotive and its related branches of engineering, science, and technology. IJVSS disseminates high quality original research and review papers, case studies, technical notes and book reviews. All published papers in this journal will have undergone rigorous peer review. IJVSS was founded in 2009. IJVSS is available in Print (ISSN 0975-3060) and Online (ISSN 0975-3540) versions. The prime focus of the IJVSS is given to the subjects of modelling, analysis, design, simulation, optimization and testing of structures and systems of the following: 1. Automotive vehicle including scooter, auto, car, motor sport and racing vehicles, 2. Truck, trailer and heavy vehicles for road transport, 3. Rail, bus, tram, emerging transit and hybrid vehicle, 4. Terrain vehicle, armoured vehicle, construction vehicle and Unmanned Ground Vehicle, 5. Aircraft, launch vehicle, missile, airship, spacecraft, space exploration vehicle, 6. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, Micro Aerial Vehicle, 7. Marine vehicle, ship and yachts and under water vehicles.
