Abstract
The gradual depletion of non-renewable fossil fuels, increase in their price, the toxic exhausts emitted during their combustion, risk associated in their import and its storage made many researchers to focus on deriving suitable alternate fuels. In the present investigation the performance and emission characteristics of the blends and neat methanolized papaya oil were determined on a test engine consisting of single cylinder fuelled by diesel and running at 1500 rpm. The results revealed that the blend B25 of the test biodiesel is found optimum, as it recorded better specific fuel consumption and brake thermal efficiency. Further coating on the piston enhanced the performance of the optimum blend when compared with the standard engine.
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.
