This document experimentally investigates the performance, emissions, and combustion characteristics of a conventional diesel engine and a low heat rejection (LHR) diesel engine fueled with diesel and biodiesel (made from jatropha oil). Biodiesel was tested in both the conventional engine and an engine modified with a 0.5mm ceramic thermal barrier coating. Testing was conducted under identical operating conditions. Results showed the LHR engine had higher efficiency and cylinder pressures but also higher NOx emissions compared to the conventional engine. When fueled with biodiesel, the LHR engine performed similarly to when fueled with diesel, though brake thermal efficiency was marginally lower and NOx emissions were higher for biodiesel due to increased in

Experimental Analysis of YSZ Coating on an IC Engine Pistonresearchinventy
As per the second law of thermodynamics the IC (Internal Combustion) engine efficiency depends upon the extraction of work against the heat supplied. Minimization of heat rejection leads to increase the work. Heat rejection takes place through the engine piston, valves and cylinder heads to the surroundings. The aim of the study is to minimize this heat rejection to the surroundings. Heat transfer through the engine parts can minimize by applying the thermal barrier coating materials on the top surface of the engine piston, cylinder heads and valves. In this study an attempt is made to reduce the intensity of heat rejection by using a layer of the ceramic material, like Yttrium Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) which has low thermal conductivity, high thermal resistance, chemical inertness, high resistance to erosion, corrosion and high strength was selected as a coating material for engine component. In this paper the experiments were carried out with 0.4mm YSZ coated piston and it is found that it has 1% total fuel consumption, 1.2% specific fuel consumption and 0.7% exhaust gas temperature less than the conventional engine with uncoated piston. It is also seen that 2.6% brake thermal efficiency, 2.14% indicated thermal efficiency and 1.35% mechanical efficiency more than the conventional engine with uncoated piston.

Parametric Optimization of Single Cylinder Diesel Engine for Pyrolysis Oil an...IOSR Journals
Abstract: An experimental study has been carried out for pyrolysis oil blended with diesel used in single
cylinder diesel engine. Pyrolysis oil is obtained from tire waste by pyrolysis process. Pyrolysis process is a
thermo-chemical decomposition of organic matter in absence of oxygen. Blending of pyrolysis oil with diesel in
maximum possible proportion helps to reduce the consumption of diesel fuel. In this study, the effects of
parameters i.e. injection timing, injection pressure, compression ratio, and load are taken as variable for
optimization. As the experiment required simultaneously optimization of four parameters with five levels,
taguchi method of optimization is used in this experiment. The results of the taguchi experiment identifies that
220 injection timing, injection pressure 200 bar, compression ratio 16 and engine load 20kg are optimum
parameter setting for lowest break specific fuel consumption. Engine performance is mostly influenced by
engine load and is least influenced by Compression ratio.

A Study on Engine Performance and Emission Reduction by Ethanol Addition in C...inventionjournals
Using alcohol fuels instead of fossil fuels is encouraging for alternative fuels. However, the use of compression ignition engines has been limited by its low viscosity and cetane number. In this study, fumigation combustion was performed using a dual fuel supply system that supplies diesel fuel through a compression ignition engine and ethanol through a carburetor. As the ethanol feed rate increased compared to pure diesel fuel, Torque, BMEP and BHP were slightly decreased. As the latent heat of vaporization of ethanol is higher than that of diesel and oxygen is sucked due to the role of ethanol as an oxygenate, the generation of CO, HC, and Smoke is less as the ethanol mixture increases compared with the operation of diesel fuel . Ethanol fuel has the effect of lowering the combustion temperature because it has larger latent heat of vaporization than diesel fuel. Therefore, it was found that the effect of reducing NOx is great.

In this research work the detailed investigation on performance and combustion characteristics of four stroke single cylinder engine with karanja and rapeseed biodiesel and its blends with diesel (in proportions of 20% and 50% by volume) under various load i.e. at no load, 25%, 50% and full load was assessed. At full load KB50 (karanja biodiesel blend) has been recorded lowest rate of pressure rise. KB20 has lowest
recorded BSFC as compared to all others of biodiesel for all loading condition even than diesel. The RB20 (rapeseed biodiesel blend) recorded maximum BMEP at full load. KB20 was recorded with maximum brake thermal efficiency at full load. So on the basis of performance and combustion parameters KB20 appears to be best alternative fuel than other blends of karanja biodiesel and rapeseed

Comparative Performance of Crude Pongamia Oil in A Low Heat Rejection Diesel ...IOSR Journals
Experiments were carried out to evaluate the performance of a low heat rejection (LHR) diesel engine with ceramic coated cylinder head [ceramic coating of thickness 500 microns was done on inside portion of cylinder head] with different operating conditions [normal temperature and pre-heated temperature] of crude Pongamia oil with varied injection pressure and injection timing.
Study Design: Performance parameters of brake thermal efficiency, exhaust gas temperature and volumetric efficiency were determined at various values of brake mean effective pressure (BMEP). Methodology: Exhaust emissions of smoke and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) were noted at the various values of BMEP. Combustion characteristics at peak load operation of the engine were measured with TDC (top dead centre) encoder, pressure transducer, console and special pressure-crank angle software package. Brief Results: Conventional engine (CE) showed deteriorated performance, while LHR engine showed improved performance with biodiesel operation at manufacturer’s recommended injection timing of 27obTDC and pressure of 190 bar. The performance of both version of the engine was improved with advanced injection timing and at higher injection pressure when compared with CE with pure diesel operation. The optimum injection timing was 32obTDC for CE, while it was 29obTDC for LHR engine with CPO operation. Peak brake thermal efficiency increased by 7%, smoke levels timing, when compared with pure diesel operation on CE at manufacturer’s recommended injection timing.

Computer simulation of ci engine for diesel and biodisel blendsLaukik Raut
Among the alternative fuels, biodiesel and its blends
are considered suitable and the most promising fuel for diesel
engine. The properties of biodiesel are found similar to that of
diesel. Many researchers have experimentally evaluated the
performance characteristics of conventional diesel engines
fuelled by biodiesel and its blends. However, experiments require
enormous effort, money and time. Hence, a cycle simulation
model incorporating a thermodynamic based single zone
combustion model is developed to predict the performance of
diesel engine. A comprehensive computer code using “C”
language was developed for compression ignition (C.I) engine.
Combustion characteristics such as cylinder pressure, heat
release, heat transfer and performance characteristics such as
work done, brake power and brake thermal efficiency (BTE) were
analyzed. On the basis of first law of thermodynamics the
properties at each degree crank angle was calculated. The
simulated combustion and performance characteristics are found
satisfactory with the experimental results

Effect Of Compression Ratio On The Performance Of Diesel Engine At Different ...IJERA Editor
Variable compression ratio (VCR) technology has long been recognized as a method for improving the
automobile engine performance, efficiency, fuel economy with reduced emission. The main feature of the VCR
engine is to operate at different compression ratio, by changing the combustion chamber volume, depending on
the vehicle performance needs .The need to improve the performance characteristics of the IC Engine has
necessitated the present research. Increasing the compression ratio to improve on the performance is an option.
The compression ratio is a factor that influences the performance characteristics of internal combustion engines.
This work is an experimental investigation of the influence of the compression ratio on the brake power, brake
thermal efficiency, brake mean effective pressure and specific fuel consumption of the Kirloskar variable
compression ratio duel fuel engine. Compression Ratios of 14, 15, 16 and 18 and engine loads of 3kg to 12 kg,
in increments of 3kg, were utilized for Diesel.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

ABSTRACT
Biodiesel is a clean- burning diesel
replacement fuel made from natural, renewable
sources such as new and used vegetable oils and
animals fats. The biodiesel was characterized by
determining its density results in combustion
problems and hence it is proposed to used bio-
diesel in Low Heat Rejection (LHR) diesel
engine to obtain efficiency. In this work biodiesel
from Jatropha oil called as Jatropha Oil Methyl
Ester (JOME) was used as sole fuel in
conventional diesel engine and LHR direct
injection (DI) diesel engine. The low heat
rejection engine was developed with uniform
ceramic coating of combustion chamber
(includes piston crown, cylinder head, valves
and cylinder liner) by Partially Stabilized
Zirconia (PSZ) thickness of 0.5 mm thickness.
The experimental investigation was carried out
in a single cylinder water-cooled LHR direct
injection diesel engine. In this investigation, the
combustion, performance and emission analysis
were carried out in a diesel and biodiesel fueled
conventional and LHR engine under identical
operating conditions. The test result of biodiesel
fueled LHR engine was quite identical to that of
the conventional diesel engine. The brake
thermal efficiency (BTE) of LHR engine with
biodiesel is decreased marginally than LHR
engine operated with diesel. Carbon monoxide
(CO) and Hydrocarbon (HC) emission levels are
decreased but in contrast the Oxide of Nitrogen
(NOX) emission level was increased due to the
higher peak temperature. The results of this
comparative experimental investigation reveals
that, some of the drawbacks of biodiesel could
be made as advantageous factors while using it
as a fuel in the LHR diesel engine, and finally
the analysis was found to be quite satisfactory.
Keywords : Biodiesel – Conventional Diesel,
PSZ, LHR engine, Diesel engine.
1. INTRODUCTION
Fuel conservation and efficiency are
always the investigation points in the view of
engineers in developing energy system. The diesel
engine generally offers better fuel economy than
petrol engine. Even the diesel engine rejects about
two thirds of heat energy of the fuel, one third to
the coolant, and one third to the exhaust, leaving
one third as useful power output. If the heat
rejection could be reduced, then the thermal
efficiency would be improved at least upto the limit
set by the second law of thermodynamics. Low
heat rejection engines aim to do this by reducing
the heat energy from transferring to the engine
coolant. This energy could be recovered to
promote a slight power to increase at the flywheel.
This Low Heat Reduction (LHR) engine concept
provide to be a viable means recovering thermal
energy normally radiated or exhausted from the
diesel engine. A low heat rejection engine employs
suitable insulation coating such as ceramics etc to
the cylinder and piston. LHR engine with 0.5mm
thickness insulation coating for components gives
better performance than with 1mm thickness. The
thermal efficiency with 0.5mm coating is higher by
about 6% to 8% under various operations. Due to
the insulation provided on the required surface of
the cylinder, the amount of heat loss to the coolant
is reduced and hence result in high combustion
chamber temperatures. This leads to severe
problems such as high NOX emission levels and
exhaust blow down losses.
One of the viable significance of LHR
engine is utilizing the low calorific value fuel such
as biodiesel. Studies have revealed that, the use of
biodiesel under identical condition as that for the
diesel fuel results in slightly lower performance and
emission levels due to the mismatching of the fuel
properties mainly low calorific value and higher
viscosity. The problems associated with the higher
viscosity of biodiesel in a compression ignition (CI)
engines are pumping loss, gum formation, injector
nozzle coking, ring sticking' and incompatibility
with lubricating oil (8-12). The above identified
problems with the use of biodiesel in conventional
diesel engine can be reduced in LHR engines
except for the injection problem. The present
investigation involves the comparison of
combustion, performance and emission levels of

diesel and biodiesel (Jatropha based) in
conventional and LHR DI diesel engines.
2. FUEL PREPARATIONS AND
CHARACTERIZATION
The vegetable oil was transesterfied using
methanol in the presence of NaOH as a catalyst.
The parameter involved in the above processing
includes the catalyst amount, molar ratio of alcohol
to oil, reaction temperature and reaction time (13-
15). The parameters for the biodiesel production
are optimized such as Catalyst amount, Molar ratio
(Alcohol to Oil), Reaction temperature, and
Reaction time. The raw biodiesel obtained was
brought down pH to a value of 7. This pure
biodiesel was measured on weight basis and the
important physical and chemical properties were
determined as per the BIS standards (14).It is
evident that, the dilution or blending of vegetable
oil with other fuels like alcohol or diesel would
bring the viscosity close to the specification range
for a diesel. engine (16-17). The important physical
and chemical properties of the biodiesel thus
prepared and given in table 1.

biodiesel fuel
3. DEVELOPMENT OF TEST ENGINE
The engine combustion chamber was coated
with Partially Stabilized Zirconia (PSZ) of 0.5 mm
thickness, which includes the piston crown, cylinder
head, valves and outside of the cylinder liner. The
equal amount of material has been removed from the
various parts of the combustion chamber and PSZ was
coated uniformly. After PSZ coating, the engine was
allowed to run about 10 hours, then test were
conducted on it.

viii. Computer
The engine was coupled with an eddy
current dynamometer for performance and emission
testing. A piezoelectric transducer was mounted
through an adopter in the cylinder head to measure
the in-cylinder pressure. Signal from the pressure
transducer was fed to charge amplifier. A magnetic
shaft encoder was used to measure the TDC and
crank angle position. The signals from the charge
amplifier and shaft encoder were given to the
appropriate channels of a data acquisition system.
The analyzer used to measure the engine
exhaust emission was calibrated before each test.
Using the appropriate calibration curve, the
measurement error for each analyzer was reduced
as per the recommendation by the exhaust analyzer
manual. The emission values obtained in the form
of ppm and percentage was expressed in term of
specific mass basis (g/kWh). The NOx
measurements were corrected for humidity
following the procedure recommended by the
Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE, 1993).
Exhaust gas temperature was measured using an
iron-constantan thermocouple and mercury
thermometer was used to measure the cooling water
temperature. Diesel and biodiesel was used in the
conventional diesel engine and the PSZ coated
LHR engine. Cylinder pressure data was recorded
and the other desired datas were processed.
The experiments were carried out in a

The combustion parameters can be studied
through the analysis of heat release rate obtained
from the pressure crank angle diagram. It is
assumed that the mixture is homogeneous and
uniform pressure and temperature at each instant of
time during the combustion process. The heat

6. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
6.1 Cylinder Pressure
In a CI engine the cylinder pressure is
depends on fueled LHR engine and higher by about
2.75 % and 8.33% than conventional engine fueled
with diesel and biodiesel . This reduction in the
cylinder pressure may be due to lower calorific
value and slower combustion rates associated with
biodiesel fueled LHR engine. However the cylinder
pressure is relatively higher than the diesel engine
fueled with diesel and biodiesel.
It is noted that the maximum pressure
obtained for LHR engine fueled with biodiesel was
closer with TDC around 2 degree crank angle than
LHR engine fueled with diesel The fuel-burning
rate in the early stage of combustion is higher in the
case of biodiesel than the diesel fuel, which bring
the peak pressure more closer to TDC.
6.2 Heat Release Rate
Figure 3 shows the variation of heat
release rate with respect to crank angle. It is evident
from the graph that, diesel and biodiesel fuel
experiences the rapid premixed combustion
followed by diffusion combustion. The premixed
fuel burns rapidly and releases the maximum
amount heat followed by the controlled heat
release. The heat release rate during the premixed
combustion is responsible for the cylinder peak
pressure.
The maximum heat release of LHR engine
with biodiesel is lower about 8.1% than LHR
engine fueled with diesel and higher about 2.4%
and 7.02% respectively than conventional engine
fueled with diesel and biodiesel. It was found that,
premixed combustion in the case of biodiesel fuel
starts earlier than the diesel fuel and it may be due
to excess oxygen available along with higher
operating temperature in the fuel and the
consequent reduction in delay period than that of
diesel fuel. It may be expected that high

surrounding temperature and oxygen availability of
fuel itself (bio diesel) reduce the delay period.
However higher molecular weight lower calorific
value and slightly higher value of viscosity bring
down the peak heat release during the premixed
combustion period. The heat release is well
advanced due to the shorter delay period and early
burning of the biodiesel. It is found that, the heat
release rate of biodiesel, normally accumulated
during the delay period follows the similar trends
like diesel fuel.
6.3 Cumulative Heat Release Rate
Figure 4 shows the variation of cumulative
heat release with respect to crank angle. In general,
the availability of oxygen in the biodiesel fuel itself
enhances the combustion and thus increases the net
heat release. In this investigation at full load, the
net heat release for LHR engine fueled with
biodiesel is lower by about 8.34% than LHR engine
fueled with diesel and higher by about 2.35% and
7.04% respectively than LHR engine with biodiesel
and conventional diesel engine fueled with diesel
and biodiesel.
6.4 Brake Thermal Efficiency
Figure 5 shows the variation of brake
thermal efficiency with engine power output. The
maximum efficiency obtained in the case of LHR
engine fueled with biodiesel at full load was lower
by about 2.92% than LHR engine fueled with diesel
and higher by about 1.77% and 5.6% respectively
than conventional diesel engine fueled with diesel
and biodiesel. In overall, it is evident that, the
thermal efficiency obtained in the case of LHR
engine fueled with biodiesel is substantially good
enough within the power output range of the test
engine.
6.5 Specific Fuel Consumption
The variations of brake specific fuel
consumption (SFC) with engine power output for
different fuels are presented in figure 6. At
maximum load the specific fuel consumption of
LHR engine fueled with biodiesel is higher by
about 6.27% than LHR engine fueled with diesel
and lower by about 3.77% and 11.14% respectively
than conventional engine fueled with diesel and
biodiesel.
Fig. 6 Variation of Specific fuel consumption
with engine power output
This higher fuel consumption was due to
the combined effect of lower calorific value and
high density of biodiesel. The test engine consumed
additional biodiesel fuel in order to retain the same
power output.

791 | P a g e
6.6 Specific Energy Consumption
Figure 7 shows the variation between
specific energy consumption (SEC) and engine
power output. The heat input required to produce
unit quantity of power is proportionately varying
with SFC. Higher the energy required at low load
and decreases by increasing the load. It is found
that the specific energy consumption of LHR
engine with biodiesel is higher by about 1.27% than
the LHR engine with diesel fuel and lower by about
3.78% and 11.15% respectively for conventional
diesel engine with diesel and biodiesel.
6.7 Exhaust Gas Temperature
Figure 8 shows the variation of exhaust
gas temperature with engine power output. At full
load, the exhaust gas temperature of LHR engine
fueled with biodiesel gives lower value by about
2.52% than LHR engine fueled with diesel and
higher by about 2.83% and 6.13% respectively than
conventional engine with diesel and biodiesel. The
higher operating temperature of LHR engine is
responsible for the higher exhaust temperature. The
exhaust gas temperature of biodiesel varying
proportionately with engine power output as in the
case of diesel fuel. It may be due to the heat release
rate by the biodiesel during the expansion is
comparatively lower than diesel.
6.8 Carbon Monoxide
The variation of carbon monoxide (CO)
with engine power output is presented in figure 9.
The fuels are producing higher amount of carbon
monoxide emission at low power outputs and
giving lower values at higher power conditions.
Carbon monoxide emission decreases with
increasing power output. At full load, CO emission
for LHR engine with biodiesel fuel is lower by
about 10.73%, 26.82% and 31.89% respectively
than LHR engine with diesel, conventional engine
fueled with biodiesel and diesel. With increasing
biodiesel percentage, CO emission level decreases.
Biodiesel itself has about 11% oxygen content in it
and it may helps for the complete combustion.
Hence, CO emission level decreases with
increasing biodiesel percentage in the fuel.
6.9 Unburned Hydrocarbon
The variation of hydrocarbon (HC) with respect to
engine power output for different fuels are shown
in figure l0. The high operating temperature in
LHR engine makes the combustion nearly complete
than the limited operating temperature condition as
in the case of diesel engine. At full load
hydrocarbon emission levels are decreases for LHR
engine fueled with biodiesel than LHR engine
fueled with diesel and diesel engine fueled with
diesel and biodiesel such as 9.8%, 17.21% and
21.31% respectively. The air fuel mixture, which
was accumulated in the crevice volume, was
reduced due to the high temperature and
availability of oxygen, which in turn leads to
reduction in unburned hydrocarbon emissions.

Figure 11 shows the variation of oxides of
nitrogen with engine power output. The main
reason for the formation of oxides of nitrogen in an
1C engines are high temperature and availability of
oxygen. At maximum load, NOx emission for LHR
engine with biodiesel fuel is higher about 7.09%,
13.35 and 20.37% respectively than LHR engine
fueled with diesel and conventional diesel engine
with biodiesel and diesel. In LHR engine, the
operating conditions are in favor of NO species and
such as the availability of oxygen in the fuel itself
other than the oxygen available in the air and high
temperature due to insulation coating, which
enhance the NO species formation.
6.10 Particulate Matter
Fig. 12 shows the variation of particulate
matter with engine power output. The particulate
matter of LHR engine with biodiesel fuel is higher
about 3.1% than LHR engine with diesel and
lower by about 3% and 11.1% respectively than
conventional diesel engine fueled with diesel and
biodiesel. It is clearly found that, the particulate
matter for biodiesel was higher irrespective of the
engine used compared with the diesel fuel. This is
due to the incomplete combustion of biodiesel
fuel.

7. CONCLUSION
The biodiesel produced from Jatropha oil by
transesterification process reduces the viscosity of
the oil in order to match the suitability of diesel
fuel. The diesel engine is modified in to LHR
engine by means of partially stabilized zirconia
(PSZ) coating. The various combustion parameters
such as Cylinder pressure, rate of heat release,
cumulative heat releases were analyzed.
7.1 At full load condition, the cylinder pressure in
the case of biodiesel fueled LHR engine was
lower than that of the diesel fueled LHR
engine. Even though this reduction under
identical condition is substantial, the absolute
value of this cylinder peak pressure is well
within operating limits of the test engine.
7.2 The final analysis of the heat release shows
that, the value of net heat release in the case of
biodiesel fueled LHR engine is substantially
good enough forth effective work done of the
test engine. The performance characteristics
such as brake thermal efficiency, specific fuel
consumption and specific energy consumption
and various emission characteristics were
compared.
7.3 The maximum efficiency obtained in the case
of LHR engine fueled with biodiesel was lower
than the LHR engine operated with diesel fuel.
However the efficiency of the LHR engine
with biodiesel fuel is well within the expected
limits.
7.4 The exhaust gas temperature of LHR engine
fueled with biodiesel was lower than LHR
engine fueled with diesel throughout the
operating condition. The low exhaust gas
temperature indicates the heat release rate
during the late combustion was comparatively
lower than diesel fuel.
7.5 The specific fuel consumption of LHR engine
with biodiesel was higher than LHR engine
fueled with diesel. The higher consumption of
fuel due to low calorific value and high
viscosity. Even though it could be expected to
the offset by the cost of biodiesel.
7.6 The specific energy consumption of LHR
engine with biodiesel was higher than LHR
engine fueled with diesel fuel.
7.7 It was found that, CO and HC emissions for
LHR engine with biodiesel was considerably
lower than LHR engine fueled with diesel.
This reduction of emissions due to excess
oxygen availability along with higher
operating temperature. NO emission for LHR
engine with biodiesel fuel was higher than
LHR engine fueled with diesel. The operating
conditions of LHR engine were favorable to
NO formation. The increase in emission level
was within the acceptable limits.
7.8 From the above points noted during the
experimental investigation it reveals the
possibility of using the bio-diesel in LHR
Diesel Engine. The combustion, performance
and emission characteristics show the
suitability of biodiesel in LHR Engines.
