| Abstract: | This study presents effect of coating on piston,
cylinder head, and valves on the performance of a modified four stroke diesel
engine using wet ethanol (5% water) as a fuel and
emission characteristics of exhaust gas. Zirconia, which has low thermal
conductivity, high temperature resistance, chemical
inertness, high resistance to erosion, corrosion and high strength, was
selected
as a coating material for engine components. Ethanol
was sprayed in inlet manifold and spark plug was erected on engine head to
facilitate ignition. Engine’s performance was studied
for both wet ethanol and diesel with and without Zirconia coating. Also,
emissions values were recorded
to study the engine’s behavior on emissions. |
