Abstract

In this study an attempt was made to determine the effects of loading in Kirloskar 3.7 kW single cylinder, four stroke, compression ignition engine with “diesel and biofuel”as fuels. The effects of ‘inlet air pressure’ on performance and emission characteristics were investigated. The inlet air pressure was increased from 1 to 2.5 bar and emissions like CO and HC were found to be decreasing considerably, but, slight increase in brake power and NOx was observed. Through the statistical approach a ‘regression model’ was established to predict performance and emission levels of a diesel engine operating on biofuel. Using multi regression model, an empirical relation was developed for evaluation of BP, HC, CO and NOx for a diesel engine.
