Abstract |
|
In this paper a detailed study has been performed to compare the performance, emission characteristics of a LHR engine with a standard CI engine using a standard diesel and biodiesel blend as fuel. Neat Mahua oil available in store is transesterified to prepare biodiesel. It is then blended with diesel. A Kirloskar make single cylinder four stoke DI Diesel engine is used. The piston cylinder head, inlet and outlet valves were coated with Al2O3 by plasma spray process. Performance, emission test were conducted with and without the ceramic coating. LHR engine showed a better performance and reduced emission when compared with the engine without ceramic coating. |
