Surface Wear Study of the IC Engine Components for the Blend of Honge Biodiesel
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 6
Abstract
The importance of the alternative fuels is gaining importance as the design change of combustion process is very minimum or negligible. Hence it is apparent that the study of the factors which affecting the performance and the credibility of the engine as well. There are several researches undergoing to study the performance of the engines using well-known alternative fuels include biodiesel, bioalcohol (methanol, ethanol, butanol), refusederived fuel, chemically stored electricity (batteries and fuel cells), hydrogen, non-fossil methane, non-fossil natural gas, vegetable oil, propane and other biomass sources. These bio fuels are chemical fuels as the fossil fuels and generate heat to perform mechanical work, hence, are the most desirable alternative to the fossil fuels. But the existing design of the combustion engines must sustain the same operating parameters, material strength of the different components and emission of the engine as that of the fossil fuel run engine. The studies reveal that the combustion performance and the emission are within the acceptable norms and are better than the fossil fuel run engines. Further, the studies on the mechanical properties of the different components have to be emphasized to understand whether the existing engines could be used using the alternative fuels. In the present work, the wear studies of the piston and cylinder are considered for the investigation. The surface roughness (Ra)values for piston, piston ring and cylinder liner of the engine is measured for both diesel (fossil fuel), blend of20% Honge oil + 80% Diesel and blend of 30% Honge oil + 70% Diesel. The results reveal that Ra value is improved significantly for the fuel blended with Honge oil compared to Diesel. Hence the blending of the bio fuels not only reduces the emission but also helps in maintaining the mechanical properties of the components of the engine.
