| Abstract: | This study presents performance
behaviors of a commercial diesel engine fueled with diesel and Jatropha based
biodiesel
(B100) at various loads (up to
100%) using standard (conventional) and three new face profile designs (I, II
& III) of piston rings.
Face profiles of piston rings had
considerable impact on engine’s brake thermal efficiency (BTE), brake specific
fuel consumption
(BSFC), and mass flow rate,
irrespective of fuels used. BTE of engine fueled with diesel increases 2-8%
with new face profile
design (III) of piston rings in
comparison to standard (conventional) piston rings. BTE enhances 8-16% when engine
is fueled with
biodiesel using face profile
design (III) on piston rings. Corresponding to increase in BTE, recorded
reduction in BSFC (biodiesel)
is 28-34%. Industrial application of the results of
present study may be useful in saving of fuels. |
