.For those who can't read Tamizh,
ThottanaithuOorummanarkenimaandharkuKattranaithuoorumarivu.The above Tamil proverb is interpreted in English as follows: The flow of water to the sand from a well
will be in proportion to the depth of the well. Similarly, knowledge will flow from a man in proportion to the depth
of his learning. Relating this proverb to you in this context, “As a researcher, your mind yields more knowledge
every time you learn. Thus, the knowledge grows. So, the more you research the deeper the fact you are in.”
It gives me immense pleasure to extend a hearty welcome to all the delegates participating in the
1stInternational Conference on Advanced Technologies in Engineering, Management and
SciencesICATEMS’17conducted by the Golden Valley Integrated Campus (GVIC), Madanapalle. The key
behind this conference is to open a discussion forum, promote logical thinking and pave the way to formulate
innovative ideas, explore greater vistas of knowledge and be an ideal platform to share the universal views on the
latest trends. I am sure the conference will be highly informative for research scholars, professionals from academic,
industry and the student community as well.
I encourage the students, research scholars, industrialists, scientists and engineers to participate
enthusiastically towards knowledge exchanges during the conference. I once again invite all delegates to our serene
campus. I also congratulate the organizers for the efforts they have put in and wish the conference a great success.
As the Chair of the ICATEMS’17, I assure all the delegates that rigorous planning has gone into knitting a

ABSTRACT: -
Metals are lustrous in appearance, malleable, extremelydurable and have greater soften and boiling points. Regardingto automobile sector, there is large-scale use of metals up to70% of an entire vehicle. In present day automobile technologythe main aim is to reduce the weight and improve theperformance. The usage of magnesium and aluminium alloys isimproving. Magnesium alloys are terribly attractive asstructural materials in weight savings for excellent concerningautomotive applications weight reduction, can improve theperformance of a vehicle by minimizing the rolling resistanceand energy of acceleration. So reduces fuel consumption andreduction of the greenhouse gases (CO2) can be achieved. Themajor disadvantage of magnesium alloys is poor corrosionresistance, can’t be used to major parts of the vehicle. We aregoing to cryogenic treatment to improve the corrosionresistance and hardness of the material. After cryogenic,strength of the magnesium alloy shows better than aluminiumalloy and many other commercial steels. It is the lighteststructure material for engineering applications, have taken anexcellent interest within the automotive, aerospace anddifferent fields of engineering. Thanks to its low density, highspecific strength and stiffness, smart damping characteristics.

I. INTRODUCTION
Automotive industry is developing a more efficient and lowcost materials introduced and replacing traditional materials.Among these new materials, magnesium and aluminiumalloys are more effective to replace steel due to itspromising properties.Magnesium alloys are composites ofmagnesium with distinct metals (called an alloy), typicallyaluminum, zinc, manganese, silicon, copper and zirconium.Plastic deformation of the magnesium has a hexagonallattice additional complicated than in cubic latticed metals
like aluminum, copper and steel; thus, magnesium alloys areusually used as cast alloys, however analysis of wroughtalloys has been a lot of extensive since 2003. Castmagnesium alloys are used for several elements of modernautomobiles, magnesium block engines have been employedin some superior vehicles. The consumption of primarymagnesium shows a broad increase within the last twentyyears whereas North America is that the main clientfollowed by the western a part of Europe and Japan.Nowadays China is dominating the primary magnesiummarket and as a result of a powerful price competitionmagnesium is usually accessible for the same value asaluminum.In aluminum alloy, Aluminum (Al) is that thepredominant metal. The standard alloying elements arecopper, magnesium, manganese, silicon, tin and zinc. Theforemost vital cast aluminum alloy system is Al-Si,wherever the high levels of silicon (4.0–13%) contribute togive smart casting characteristics. Aluminum alloys arewide utilized in engineering structures and componentswherever lightweight weight or corrosion resistance isneeded.The characteristic properties of Al, high strengthstiffness to weight ratio, sensible formability, bettercorrosion resistance and reused potential make it the perfectcandidate to exchange massive materials within theautomobile to respond to the weight reduction demandamong the automotive business.
A cryogenic treatment is that the method of treating workpieces to cryogenic temperatures at below -197◦C in order toeradicate residual stress, improve hardness and wearresistance on the alloys.Cryogenic treatment is the gradualcooling of the components until the outlined temperature,holding it for a required time and then carefully leading itback to the room temperature, additionally explore for itsability to enhance corrosion resistance by precipitatingmicro-fine eta carbides. There is a requirement to extend theproperties of alloys at elevated temperature for hightemperature applications. During this method there's a

E-mail: †[email protected], ‡[email protected]: As one of variable valve timingapproaches, the electromagnetic valvemechanism (EMVM) utilizes solenoid toactivate valve development autonomouslyfor the utilization of inside ignition motor.This paper adviced a valve systemstructure by fusing the electromagneticpower execution in which the attractivemotion is joined by the loop excitation andlasting magnets. By utilization of thedevoted motion course of action, theadviced gadget can be utilized to satisfythe valve timing highlights with thediminished power source necessity andless electrical gadget segments. A twofoldmotion channels EMVM is itemized andthe plan methods are exhibited.Contrasting and the ordinary EMV, theadviced model demonstrates aconsiderable measure of favorablecircumstances, for example, minimization,high temperature resilience, quickreaction, assuage of beginning current, andvariable current instrument timing.

INTRODUCTION
Valve timing has effectively gotten muchconsideration from car ventures anddesigners in the previous decade. Themisuse and change of valve timing is oneof the compelling and basic means for theinterior ignition motor with the point ofdiminishing fuel utilization and fumesoutflow. The valve timing innovations canbe grouped into two classes, contingentupon whether the camshaft is utilized ornot. The Valve Train without camshaft islikewise called camless valve prepare. Insuch a framework, the camshaft componentis supplanted by an electric or hydricframework and the unreservedly controlsof the length of valve stroke with perhapsvast variable valve timing can bearchieved.
In the regular EMV framework, it isappeared by Clark et al. [2005] that theEMV adviced by Wang and Stefanopoulou[2000] and Park et al. [2003] required apowerful source to start valve developmentas the armature remained at the centerposition before the motor beginning. Anextraordinary plan for this impressive mainimpetus must be considered forguaranteeing the fruitful motor beginning.Ahn et al. [2005] built up a novel EMVframework incited by the cross breed MMFwith perpetual magnet (PM) and

electromagnet (EM) where an increaseplanned PID control technique was advicedto address the delicate landing and quickprogress issues. Kim and Lieu [2005]declared innate deficiencies of the ordinaryEMV framework and adviced another PMbased EMV framework. Owning to theissue of demagnetization, nonetheless, theholding power diminishes and turned out tobe not as much as the spring power, in thismanner causing framework blame. Jinhoand Junghwan [2007] included their newinstrument with an inserted attractivearmature. The issue, be that as it may, withrespect to the demagnetization of PM is asyet not tended to.
Rens et al. [2006] built up a novel modelwhich had an extremely unique plan withan optional air-hole utilized for keepingaway from the transition delivered by loopsgoing through PM. Their outline wouldkeep PM from demagnetization, which hadbeen the fundamental reason causing theframework deficiencies, and the advicedEMV framework could work in a hightemperature condition. As of late,Lecrivain and Gabsi [2007] advicednumerous answers for calming highbeginning present as the motor isbeginning. One of which is the utilizationof parallel captivated PMs and EMs forinstrument the valve development. Anauxiliary air-hole was acquainted withmaintain a strategic distance fromdemagnetization. In outline, contrasted andthe EMV plan without PMs, theelectromagnetic power is a promisinganswer for decrease the utilization ofenergy thought about.
The EMVM's can be planned as anElectromagnetic power for enhancing thecapacity of valve instrument, nonetheless,the issue of how to get the best execution isas yet an open issue. In this paper, arecommended sort of EMVM is presented,where the path for PMs to give
electromagnetic power holding thearmature is misused and an auxiliary airhole is embraced to keep the PMs fromdemagnetization. Without currentenergizing, the valve dependably keeps ineither opened or shut position.
Arrangement of EMVMThe adviced model can likewise be nameda sort of perpetual magnet energizedcomponents [Rens et al., 2006]. It isintended to have a particular holding powerat zero air-hole, as appeared in Fig. 1,where the operations joining the idea withElectromagnetic power (permanentmagnet(PM)and electromagnet (EM)) arepoint by point. As appeared in Fig. 1(a),the attractive motion (circle 1) delivered byPMs makes attractive power to hold thearmature to keep the valve shut. At thatpoint, when the curls associating inarrangement are energized by a covetedcurrent, the particular attractive motion(circle 2 in Fig. 1(b)) is instigated todebilitate the transition delivered by PMswith the goal that the armature begins tomove towards the flip side of stroke. It isimportant that the motion instigated by thecurls is coordinated to go through alegitimately composed auxiliary air hole.Subsequently, when the transition goingthrough the armature abatement to anegligible esteem, the motion of PM isreturned through the air hole with the goalthat a sensible execution coefficient (PC)esteem can be ensured and the PM won't bedemagnetized as appeared in Fig. 1( c ).

It is seen thatthe travelling time of valve is 3.09ms whilethe impact velocity at valve-closed positionis about 1.6 m/s due to the attraction forcededuced from the PM, as shown in Fig.7(a). Such a high impact velocity willcause impact noise and serious wearing.Fig. 7(b) shows the total force acting on thearmature is composed of spring force andmagnetic force, i.e. F = (Ftop(i,x) +Fbottom(i,x) + F spring(x)) where thediscontinuous point at 3ms is the instancethat the valve lash is created due to the

For high temperature, the B-H curve ofmagnet decays somewhat from low to hightemperature, which is known as an effectof demagnetization. Therefore, the effect ofhigh temperature in holding force must betaken into account for the design ofadviced EMVM. Fig. 10 presents theexperimental force, compared with thesimulated results from FEA for thetemperature between 20◦C and 120◦C. It isfound that the holding force decreases asthe temperature increases.The error of the measured holding force isapproximately 15% both for top or bottomposition. The top force will decrease1.28N/◦C, and the bottom will decrease0.84N/◦C. The discrepancy of experimentalresults has the same tendency as those insimulation results while the temperature isdecreasing.Without the feedback control, anexperimental operation is performed byapplying a simplified current excitingcommand to exam the characteristic for theadviced prototype. Fig. 11(a) shows thedesired current profile (ic), experimentalinput current (ia) and their associateddeviation (ia−ib). In the experiment, theslower sampling rate is limited by theability of experimental hardware so that themaximum deviation of current isapproximately 3.7A. For higher samplingrate, the better performance of controlledinput current can be archived.

1 INTRODUCTIONIt has been broadly acknowledged that the finiteelement method (FEM) is an effective numerical devicefor the outline of expulsion procedures and kicks thebucket, which so far has predominantly depended onthe ability of exceptionally experienced creators andexorbitant plant tryouts. The expelled states of lightcombinations ordinarily have a perplexing geometryand thin profiles, which require vast billet zonediminishment. Sharp corners are additionally ordinaryin the bite the dust structure. These issues postureintense difficulties for numerical examination.To show the expulsion procedure with the FEM, threedetails can be utilized. The transient refreshedLagrangian (UL) detailing, where the FEM work isappended to the disfiguring billet, can catch thematerial stream in an extremely natural manner.Runtimes can be long, yet this technique can deliver afew outcomes that are troublesome or difficult to getfrom other reproduction strategies. Some accessibleoutcomes include: (1) the material part finished theextension and converging in the welding chamber foran empty extrudate, (2) the front end arrangement, (3)the twisting or curving of the whole extrudate and (4)the total load versus stroke conduct. Parallel processingcan accelerate UL reproductions. The relentless stateEulerian (SS) approach, in which the work is settled inspace, is quick yet can not give any transient data andthe warm mechanical stationarity may not beentrenched in actuality. The ALE (Arbitrary
LagrangianEulerian) approach falls somewhere close tothe next two techniques. It is productive for this class ofissues [1,2], since the incessant remeshing unavoidablein UL can be disposed of. Likewise, a portion ofthe weaknesses of the SS approach can likewise bedodged since the system is incremental in nature.
This paper talks about the current advances in thebusiness code DEFORM-3D for expulsiondemonstrating. Misshape 3D can display every one ofthe three of the above methodologies, yet lateendeavors have been centered around the change ofthe ALE detailing. This advancement is proposed to givea proficient numerical device to expulsion forms, and inaddition a committed layout for the readiness of theinfo information. To approve the code, a modern casewith an empty profile and a few welds was recreatedutilizing the three methodologies in DEFORM-3D, andthe outcomes are contrasted and the trials. The streampush testing and the expulsion try are likewiseportrayed.2 ALE FORMULATION AND PROCEDUREFor encourage dialogs of the over three distinct plans,and additionally the general system of the ALEapproach, please allude to our prior paper [2]. Thispaper abridges the ALE approachs for expulsion. Anexpulsion case used to exhibit the UL, ALE and SStechniques is then given. At long last, correlationsbetween the FEM expectations and the genuineprocedure are made to approve the methodologies andexhibit the ability of the framework.

2.1 General depiction
The ALE depiction is an endeavor to consolidate thebenefits of both the Eulerian and Lagrangiandefinitions. It was first presented by Hirt et al. [3] andDonea et al. [4] in demonstrating the strong liquidcommunication. It was along these lines connected tostrong mechanics issues with extensive distortion [5].The general ALE strategy utilizes two work frameworks:the computational reference work framework (CRS), onwhich the limited component counts are performed,and the material reference work framework (MRS),which takes after the material as it distorts. Theconnection between the CRS and MRS in each of theLagrangian, Eulerian and ALE portrayals is appeared inFigure 1. Toward the start of another ALE step, the MRSwork is made to be the same as the CRS work. In aperiod increase, the hubs move together with thematerial for the Lagrangian detailing. For the Euleriandefinition, the hubs are settled in space. For the ALEstrategy, the new position of the CRS hubs can becomposed in light of the need of the reenactment.
In the DEFORM-3D ALE detailing, the two MRS and CRScomprise of hexahedral or tetrahedral components thatare moving in the expulsion heading. The developmentof the CRS contrasts in the three headings. The hubs aresettled in the expulsion heading, while they arerefreshed in a Lagrangian form in the plane opposite tothe expelling bearing. To execute this, the CRS issuperimposed with the MRS toward the start of thereproduction. The addition continues precisely as thatfor the unadulterated Lagrangian depiction utilizing theCRS through the finish of the arrangement stage. As thecomputational work twists and changes its geometry,new arranges and distortion state factors are gottenamid the recreation and afterward are exchanged tothe MRS toward the finish of every augmentation torefresh the MRS. The CRS stays unaltered at this stage.Since the underlying hubs and components of thecomputational work have a place with the materialwork, no addition of the state factors is required.
Rather, nodal and component esteems are basicallyenlisted to the material work.After MRS refreshing, it is important to refresh the CRSto acquire a work whose limit agrees with that of therefreshed MRS, however whose hubs hold theirposition along the expulsion course. For the most partthe CRS nodal refreshing is finished by projection ontothe MRS surface. In any case, because of discretization,the MRS surface isn't smooth when the ebb and flowisn't zero. Thus the hubs can't be proceeded onwardthe surfaces without wrecking the first state of thesurface. To manage this issue, a spline surface on theMRS work is produced. Figure 2 demonstrates a surfacework around a CRS hub before the refresh. The newposition of the CRS hub is anticipated onto this splinesurface.
The refreshed CRS and MRS are never againsuperimposed now. In any case, after the refreshed CRSis gotten from the refreshed MRS, the last can bedisposed of. The recreation of the following incrementaladvance uses the refreshed CRS and completions withanother refreshed MRS. With this ALE work plan andrefreshing plan, a steady contact definition between thebillet and the passes on is kept up.
2.2 State variable refresh
In the ALE method, it is important to refresh the statefactors when mapping them from the MRS to the CRS.Hypothetically, the convection of the state factors, say,the viable strain, depends on:
∂ εCRS =ε−(v − vCRS)⋅∇ε
(1)∂t
Difficulty arises when calculating the gradientterms of the elemental state variables, as they aredefined at the integration point(s) of each elementand are therefore only piecewise continuous. Twoapproaches can be found in the literature: the

interpolation and convection methods. Theinterpolation method updates the nodalcoordinates as well as the state variables in theMRS, and then maps the state variables to the CRS[6]. The convection method solves Eq. (1) toupdate the state variables. The Godunov-typeupdate proposed by [7], belonging to the secondgroup, is used in this work. To obtain the effectivestrain of a particular element with respect to theCRS, a surface integration containing a flux isconsidered by:
∆εn L t NΓ c

Whereε
n+1 is the convected strain with respect tothe CRS. The variable Lε is the material strain and
Nr is the total number of the surfaces Γ betweenthis element, with volume V, and the contiguouselements, whose strain is denoted by thesuperscript c. Also required for the calculation is
fΓ= ∫Γ c⋅ndΓWherec= v − vCRS.
As pointed out in [7], the time step∆t
should notbe too large as to bring a particle to cross an entireelement at the speed of the convective velocity c.
Figure 3 shows some examples of ALE simulations.The profiles were designed to show the capabilityof predicting extrudate distortion.
1 AN INDUSTRIAL EXAMPLE
An industrial extrusion profile is shown in Figure 4.Since the profile has a plane of symmetry, only onehalf was used in thesimulation. The material wasAl 6061 with an initial billet temperature of 460°Cand a ram speed of 33.3 mm/sec. In the diedesign, there were three mandrels (for the halfmodel) attached to the die body with bridges toform the three holes. During extrusion, thealuminum flows over the bridges into the portholes, where it splits and then merges together inthe welding chamber. As a result, there are sevenwelding seams in the half extrudate.
The steady state simulation
A FEM work was made in light of the shape got fromthe pass on geometries. It was expected that thematerial totally topped off the pass on depressions andthe welds were shaped so the expelled area was anecessary one.

Theanticipated expulsion stack was 181.2 SI tons at thebillet length of 160 mm, which was lower than the trialcomes about. Upon examination, it was discovered that

the stream push information was not exact. Streamstretch testing was performed, and the anticipated loadutilizing the new stream push information was 336 SItons.
3.2 The refreshed Lagrangian recreation
The refreshed Lagrangian recreation was keep runningfrom the earliest starting point of the expulsionprocedure, with the beginning workpiece being anundeformed 160 mm tall tube shaped billet. A similarmaterial and handling conditions depicted beneath forthe expulsion analyze were utilized as a part of thereenactment.
Figure 6 demonstrates the phases of the ULreenactment. Toward the begin of the procedure, thebillet was packed in the compartment and the five legswere expelled. The external legs were longer than theinward leg now. These five legs at that point enteredthe welding chamber where the four external streamsfocalized. Amid this procedure, the stream of theseexternal legs was obstructed and the internal leg waspermitted to unreservedly expel. Therefore, the focalleg wound up longer than the external four. The pressstack expanded generously as the welding chamberfilled, and the extrudate started to frame. The insideribs were the last component of the cross-segment toframe as the extrudate left amazing.
In a refreshed Lagrangian expulsion reenactment, theworkpiece work misshapes and expels through the kicksthe bucket. Because of the broad misshapening at thepass on corners, remeshing of the workpiece was atypical event. Self-contact of the combining streams inthe welding chamber likewise added to remeshing. Atthe point when the four external streams had basicallyconverged in the welding chamber, the self-reachingsurfaces between the streams were physicallyevacuated to accelerate the reproduction (Figure 8).
Figure 9(a) demonstrates the heap on the smash as anelement of slam stroke. The heap is generally steadytoward the begin of the procedure when the legs are
openly expelling. As the material gets to the weldingchamber, the heap increments fundamentally. Thisreproduction was race to the point appeared in Figure6(d). Now, the extrudate shape has nearly achieved itsrelentless state shape. Toward the finish of thereenactment, the heap has leveled off at ~285 SI tons.Figure 9(b) analyzes the trial and UL reenactedexpulsion loads. Given the test heaps of 220 SI tons(100 mm billet) and 350 SI tons (200 mm billet), thereproduced heap of 285 SI tons (160mm billet) is verysensible. It is noticed that billet lengths in the ULreenactment and trial are diverse since the genuinebillet length was not chosen at the season of doing thereproduction.
3.3 The incremental ALE reenactment
The ALE reenactment was keep running with a similarwork framework as utilized as a part of the SSreproduction. Figure 10 demonstrates the anticipatedshape in the wake of running 1000 stages. Similarly aswith the unfaltering state result, no noteworthybending was found in the anticipated extrudate shape.The anticipated successful strain is appeared in Figure11 and the anticipated temperature appropriation isappeared in Figure 12. A heap of 146 SI tons wasanticipated in the half model recreation. Figure 9(a)demonstrates that the relating full model heap of 292 SItons coordinates well with the heap anticipated towardthe finish of the UL recreation.
4 FLOW STRESS TEST AND EXTRUSIONEXPERIMENT
4.1 Flow anxiety test
A Gleeble-3500 was utilized to get exact stream pushbends for AL 6061. The examples had an OD of 8 mmand a length of 12 mm. Testing conditions are appearedin Table 1. The stream stretch bends got from the testswere elements of temperature, strain and strain rate.These bends were transported in into DEFORM-3D foruse in the reenactments.
4.2 Extrusion test

An expulsion analyze was performed to contrast andthe reenacted comes about. A 350-ton forwardexpulsion press was utilized (Figure 13). Table 2demonstrates the trial conditions. Two introductorybillet lengths were utilized as a part of the investigation.
The greatest load for the 100 mm billet was 220 SI tons,while the maximum load for the 200mm billet was 350SI tons. The billet length specifically influences theerosion with the compartment divider. Regularly,shorter billets are favored in genuine applications so asto control the heap, temperature circulation, quality,and so forth.
Figures 14 and 15 are photographs of the extrudatetaken in the trial. The somewhat prospering shape isseen at the front end, and the welding lines are clear.The cross-area was very uniform when it achievedconsistent state expulsion.
5 COMPARISON AND DISCUSSION
Figure 9 demonstrates that the three recreationapproaches (SS, ALE and UL) indicate great concurrencewith each other concerning unfaltering state stackexpectation. Figure 10 affirms that the anticipated loadconnects well with the heaps got from the expulsiontests. This great relationship amongst's reenacted andtest loads demonstrates the significance of utilizingexact stream stretch info information.
The UL approach has been ended up being a substantialdevice in giving the point by point material stream datain expulsion, for example, the front-end arrangementand the weld crease advancement. At the front end ofthe reproduced extrudate, the focal leg is longer thanthe encompassing profile, which coordinates theperception in test. The blossoming state of theencompassing profile at the front-end can likewise befound in the reenactment comes about. With the self-contact methods, the converge of the material counter-streams can be displayed and the weld quality can befollowed, in spite of the fact that in this recreation theself-contact was expelled after some remeshing to
accelerate the reproduction. The ability to give thematerial stream subtle elements of this strategydemonstrates its potential in the investigation ofstream actuated expulsion deserts.
The ALE approach has been enhanced to all the moreprecisely catch the free surface disfigurement of theextrudate. Since no remeshing is required, plan changesto the bearing channel can be effectively reproduced tohelp limit extrudate contortion.
Regarding the recreation time, the SS reproduction tookunder two hours (utilizing a solitary center on AMDAthlon 64x2 double center), the ALE took ten hours(Xeon 5160 utilizing four out of the six centers) and theUL took 126 hours (Intel Core i7 920 utilizing fourcenters).
In this paper, the benefits of FEM method in preciselyforeseeing expulsion stacks and twisted extrudate havebeen exhibited and approved by a mechanical expulsioncase. Future exertion will incorporate more approvals,and further change in the territories of the ease of use,computational proficiency, and coupling of miniaturizedscale structure and warm mechanical models.

V.NARESH1, S.PRABHAKAR2,K ANNAMALAI3, S.NAVEEN CHADRA4
Department of mechanical Engineering, bharath University, Chennai, India
ABS TRACT: The methyl esters of vegetable oils, known as biodiesel are becoming increasingly popular because of their lowenvironmental impact and potential as a green alternative fuel for diesel engine and they would require minimum modification ofexisting engine hardware. In this project esterified ALGAE oil is used as a Bio-diesel. A single cylinder stationary kirloskar engine isused to compare the performance and combustion characteristics between properties of methyl ester of ALGAE oil and its blend withdiesel from 0% to 100% by volume and in running a diesel engine with these fuels. In this project selection of suitable ALGAE oil blendand selection of optimized injection pressure for the blend is also done. From this project it is concluded that among all ALGAE anddiesel blends 20% of ALGAE and 80% of diesel blend with injection pressure 240 bar gives better performance nearing the diesel.
Keywords: Methyl ester, ALGAE , Injection pressure, Biodiesel.
INTRODUCTION
Vegetable oils are considered as good alternative todiesel fuel due to their properties which are much closer tothat of diesel [Jhon.B.Heywood 1988]. They have areasonably high cetane number. Vegetable oils have astructure similar to that of diesel fuel, but differ in the typeof linkage of the chains and have a higher molecular massand viscosity [K. Pramanik 2003]. The heating value isapproximately 90% of diesel fuel. A limitation on theutilization of vegetable oil is its cost. In the present marketthe price of vegetable oil is higher than that of diesel[A.M.Nagaraja 2005]. However, it is anticipated that infuture the cost of vegetable oil will get reduced as a result ofdevelopments in agricultural methods and oil extractiontechniques [Deepak Agarwal 2008].
In India, forests and plants based non-edible oilsare considered as the main sources for bio diesel production.Non – edible oils can be obtained plant species such asJatropha, Karanja, Rubber, Mahua and Neem [B.K. Barnwal2005]. However, it is not possible for us to get ALGAE oilthat much easily as that of other oils. Hence, in the presentwork, ALGAE oil based bio-diesel is being considered as analternate fuel for Diesel engines.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
The engine used for the investigation is kirloskar SV1,single cylinder, four stroke, constant speed, vertical, watercooled, high speed compression ignition diesel engine. The
kirloskar Engine is mounted on the ground. The test enginewas directly coupled to an eddy current dynamometer withsuitable switching and control facility for loading theengine. The engine was operated initially on diesel for warmup and then with ALGAE oil blends. The experiment aimsat determining appropriate proportions of biodiesel anddiesel for which higher efficiency was obtainable.
Hence experiments were conducted for differentproportions of biodiesel mixed with diesel. The blends werein the ratio 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% with diesel.First these blends were tested at normal injection pressure200 bar at constant injection timing 27° BTDC and with aconstant compression ratio 17.5.Then for the best efficiencyblend, the test were conducted at three different injectionpressures 180 bar, 220 bar ,240 bar and 260 bar and aboveprocedure was followed. Injector nozzle pressure ischanged with the help of Fuel Injector pressure calibrator.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

28 ISBN 978-93-86770-41-7
Fig. 1 Percentage of ALGAE oil with diesel
At normal injection pressure of 200 bar the brakethermal efficiency for neat diesel at full load is 28.75%,where as it was 24.08% ,23.56% ,22.45% ,21.923% ,21.07% for N20, N40, N60, N80 and N100 as shown in Fig1.The best thermal efficiency was obtained for N20 blendand was 4.67% less than that of diesel for full load. Fromthe Fig. 2 it was observed that brake thermal efficiency forthe different injection pressures for best efficiencyblend(N20) at 180 bar was 20.09%, 220 bar was 25.62% ,240 bar was 27.13% and 260 bar was 26.37%.Theefficiency of N20 at 240 bar was found to be 3.05% higherthan the efficiency of N20 at 200 bar.
Fig.2 variation of BTE with BP for different injectionpressures for best efficiency blend
This is because at this injection pressure, thesprayed fuel completely diffuses with air in the combustionchamber which improves the complete burning possibility.Thus a better performance is observed. For 260 bar thebrake thermal efficiency is 0.8% less than the efficiency ofinjection pressure at 240 bar. This is because at thispressure, the intensity of the spray is so high so that thespray cone angle is too small for proper diffusion. Hence the
performance seems to be slightly low. For 180 bar the brakethermal efficiency is 7.04% less than the efficiency ofinjection pressure at 240 bar. This is because at thisinjection pressure, the velocity of the spray is slightly lowerto diffuse properly with air.
Peak pressure rise:
Comparison of the peak pressure rise for thedifferent injection pressures for best efficiency blend (N20)is shown in Fig no.3. Peak pressure for pure diesel at 200bar is 77 bar. Peak pressure of N20 for 260 bar is 73.2 bar,240 bar is 75.3 bar, 220 bar is 69.5, 200 bar is 66 bar and180 is 60.2 bar. This is because complete usage of the fuel isobserved at 240 bar which results in increase in the pressureas a result of proper combustion. At 260 bar, due tocomparatively poorer burning of fuel because of smallerspray angle, the combustion pressure is slightly lower. At220 bar, 200 bar, and 180 bar, due to improper burning, thepressure is observed to be very low during the combustion.
Fig. 3 variation of peak pressure with crank angle fordifferent injection pressures for best efficiency blend.
Cumulative heat release rate:
Comparison of the cumulative heat release rate forthe different injection pressures for the best efficiency blend(N20) is shown in Fig. 4. Cumulative heat release rate forpure diesel is 329.04 J/deg CA at 200 bar. Cumulative heatrelease rate of N20 for 260 bar is 335 J/deg CA, 240 bar is331.56 J/deg CA, 220 bar is 345.63 J/deg CA, 200 bar is349.048 J/deg CA, and 180 bar is 371.2 J/deg CA. This isbecause at 240 bar due to proper combustion, the amount ofheat released is lower as the heat is utilized to producebetter efficiency resulting in lower cumulative heat releaserate. At 260 bar the cumulative heat release rate is higherdue to poorer spray characteristics. At 180 bar, 200 bar and

220 bar, because of poor diffusion, the combustionefficiency drops which indicates the higher cumulative heatrelease.

Abstract:The CI engines fuelled with diesel plays avery vital role in Industrialization and transportationsectors. However, the depletion of petroleum productsis increasing day to day. Due to high emissions fromthe petroleum products there is a strict regulationslay down by the government to the enginemanufactures to save the environment from thepollution. Hence the researchers are in the processesof identifying a suitable alternate fuel i.e. biofuelssuch as Jatropha oil, Pongamia oil, Rice bane oil,Corn oil, Neem oil etc. Among all jatropha isconsidered to be the best replacement because theseplants can grow in any environmental conditions andthe properties are also nearer to diesel. With minorchanges in the diesel engine, Jatropha biodiesel canbe used in the existing diesel engine. But one of themajor drawbacks of Jatropha biodiesel are its flowcharacteristics and the viscosity of the fuel. In thepresent work to overcome this, nano additive(Aluminum oxide) is added to the biodiesel whichenhances the properties of the fuel. Further theperformance and emissions of diesel engine isinvestigated with biodiesel 20% by volume (B20) byusing the nano additive 50 ppm, 100 ppm and 150ppm. Among all B20 biodiesel with 100 ppm nanoadditive showed better performance to diesel. Furtherthe performance of the engine depends on theformation of homogeneous mixture and turbulenceinside the combustion chamber. Hence in the currentwork six number of Rhombus grooves are created onthe piston crown to enhance turbulence in thechamber. Additionally the performance of the engineis also investigated with grooved piston. The groovedpiston showed the better performance compare tonormal piston.

INTRODUCTION
Diesel engines have been used as a work horse forthe industry from long period. Due to their high
torque output, durability, exceptional fuel economyand ability to provide power under a wide range ofconditions. The consumption and demand ofpetroleum products are increasing day to day with
increase of vehicles and urbanization which resultshigher emissions. So to decrease the consumptionand emissions of petroleum products we arereplacing the petroleum products with thealternative fuels. The alternative fuels arerenewable and eco-friendly. Current world energysituation is heavily focusing on alternative fuels.Due to lower heating value of alternative fuelsadding metal and metal oxide Nano particles to biofuel will improve the engine performance as wellas reduce the harmful gases from engine exhaust.Many researches had tried on Jatropha as areplacement for diesel and confirmed that withminor changes in engine, the efficiency of dieselengine can be improved marginally. But due to thehigher viscosity of Jatropha, the flow capacity ofJatropha is less which is the major drawback forincreasing the efficiency of engine. To overcomethis flow problem, in the present work it is plannedto work with blending process. It is also reportedthat adding aluminum oxide Nano particles toJatropha bio diesel could enhance the ignitionproperties of biodiesel due to the heat buildup within the fuel of reactive nature of aluminum OxideNanoparticles. Size of Nano particles may alsoaffect the parameters like combustion process,ignition delay and burning rates of fuel.

and Mo based fuel additives on diesel engineperformance fuelled with tall oil biodiesel. A singlecylinder DI diesel engine is used for theirinvestigation and found that the engineperformance values do not change significantly inMg and Mo based fuel blends compare with tall oilbiodiesel. But the engine emissions like HC, COand NOx are reduced significantly in Mg and Mobased fuel blends compare with tall oil biodiesel.
Further the effect of IRGANOR NPA as a fueladditive with POME biodiesels was investigated byM.Shahabuddin.et.[2] and concluded that theengine shows a better performance with blend ofnano additive compared to diesel, due to the bettercombustion in the combustion chamber. And alsothe CO emissions are reduced by 0.14% compare todiesel. Experimental investigations on DI dieselengine with diethyl ether and ethanol as a nanoadditives with Neem oil biodiesel in various massfractions of biodiesel blends was performed byS.Sivalakshmi.et., [3] and concluded that theengine performance values increases significantlyin diethyl ether and ethanol blends compare withNeem oil methyl ester biodiesel and also the brakespecific energy consumption is low in both fuelnano additives.

REPLACEMENT OF PISTON IN THEENGINE
The in-cylinder air motion in internal combustionengines is one of the most important factorscontrolling the combustion process. It governs thefuel-air mixing and burning rates in diesel engines.In the present work the experimental investigationof air turbulence in the cylinder upon theperformance and emission of a single cylinderdiesel direct injection is presented. Thisintensification of the turbulence is done by cuttingsix Rambus grooves on the crown of the piston(RGP6) and the same is compared with normalpiston. Experiments are carried out on a dieselengine using normal and grooved pistons in a fourstroke single cylinder water cooled and constantspeed engine. Performance parameters such asbrake power, specific fuel consumption andThermal efficiency are calculated based onexperimental analysis of the engine. To obtain abetter combustion with lesser emissions in direct—injection diesel engines, it is necessary to achieve a
good spatial distribution of the injected fuelthroughout the entire space .This requires matchingof the fuel sprays with combustion chambergeometry. In other words, the combustion chamber
geometry, fuel injection and gas flows are the mostcrucial factors for attaining a better combustion. InDI diesel engines, turbulence can increase the rateof fuel-air mixing, reducing the combustionduration for re-entrant chambers at retardedinjection timings. Turbulence with compressioninduced squish flow increases turbulence levels inthe combustion bowl, promoting mixing. Since theflow in the combustion chamber develops frominteraction of the intake flow with the in-cylindergeometry, the goal of this work is to characterizethe role of combustion chamber geometry on in-cylinder flow, thus the fuel-air mixing, combustionand pollutant formation processes.
RHOMBUS GROOVED PISTON (RGP6):
In order to enhance the air turbulence inside thecylinder, six rhombus shaped grooves are made onthe piston. The selected dimensions for therhombus groove cutting are given below
Length of the diagonal 1 =10mm
Length of the diagonal 2 =5mm
Depth of the groove =2mm
Number of grooves to be made =6 No’s
Angle between consecutive grooves =600

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
The following results are obtained after testing theB20+100ppm blend of biodiesel at rated load byreplacing the normal (Aluminum) piston with thegrooved (Aluminum+ R6) piston in the engine.Based on the previous experiments it is concludedthat B20+100ppm blend of biodiesel has betterperformance with the normal piston compare toother blends of biodiesel.

ABSTRACT
The study titled “Performance and Emission Studieson a 4 stroke Diesel ngine Using Methyl Ester of ALGAE Oilwith EGR” involves the study of performance and emissioncharacteristics of Blends of Methyl Esters of ALGAE oil byvarying the EGR control value (5 to 20%) using directinjection diesel engine. From the preceding studies on similartitle it’s established that the release of NOX is higher inALGAE based biodiesel. The focus of this study is to reducethe NOX emission by using the cooled EGR.
INTRODUCTION
With increasing population on this earth there is anunprecedented demand for energy especially petroleumbased energy. The energy consumption forecast byinternational energy outlook is estimated to significantlyrise from 83 million barrels/ day in 2004 to 97 millionbarrels/ day in 2015 and just over 118 million barrels/day in2025. Almost half of the world’s total resources would bedepleted by 2025 if this forecast comes true.
Yet another serious global issue is climate changedue to global warming. Kyoto protocol effective sinceFebruary, 2005 is to curb the emission of greenhouse gases.Presently more than 160 countries have signed aiming toreduce the greenhouse gas emission by a collective averageof 5% below 1990 level of respective countries. As perIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) globalwarming would cause the global surface temperatures to rise1.10 C to 6.40 C between 1990 and 2100 Thet et al(1).
So, renewable energy is the need of the hour toaddress both energy and environmental problems. Analternative for diesel fuel is biodiesel which is bothrenewable and environmental friendly produced through theprocess of transesterification. In this process vegetable oilsand animal fats react with alcohol in the presence of a
catalyst. The fatty acid alkyl esters produced through thereaction is called as biodiesel.
In contrast to the diesel, biodiesel possess higherviscosity, density, pour point, flash point and cetanenumber. Moreover, on a mass basis the energy content ofbiodiesel is about 12% less than that of diesel fuel.
Another advantage of biodiesel is it significantlyreduces exhaust emissions. Reports reveal that biodiesel ofhundred percent purity releases lower tail pipe exhaustemissions compared to the diesel fuel. And biodiesel isconsidered to be sulfur - free fuel with 99% less SOx releaseas compared to diesel. Though higher oxides of nitrogen(NOx) are released with biodiesel which is of hundredpercent purity.
TRANSESTERIFICATION PROCESS
It is a chemical reaction generally used in theproduction of biodiesel. Here fatty acid alkyl ester is formedwhen fatty acid in vegetable oil reacts with an alcohol suchas methanol in the presence of a catalyst.
POLLUTION CONTROL TECHNIQUES
Air injection, exhaust gas recirculation andcatalytic converters are few important techniques used forpollution control. Senthil et al (3).
Exhaust gas recirculation techniques
The cooled EGR is used in this project since it cancurb the NOx emission. In this technique, the levels ofrecirculation vary from 5 to 20% EGR check value. EGRlimit is controlled with check value having gradient scalearound the tuning of value. The varied levels facilitates in
1st INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES IN ENGINEERING, MANAGEMENT AND SCIENCES, 16th& 17th NOVEMBER 2017
36 ISBN 978-93-86770-41-7
finding the corresponding emission level. Then optimizedvalues are considered for use as finer ALGAE basedbiodiesel.
In the traditional practice the EGR used are ofhotter type. This is the reason why the NOx emission ishigher. In order to overcome this problem cooled EGR isused which reduces the NOx emission by reducing theexhaust gas temperature. EGR is cooled by using water. Thecombustion temperature is lowered by reducing theconcentration of oxygen.
External and internal are the two types of EGRsystem.
External EGR:
In external EGR system, external piping is used forthe circulation of gases from the exhaust manifold to theintake port. This enables recirculation of the exhaust gas tothrough piping by opening a normally closed EGR controlvalue in the piping during the intake stroke.
In order to match operating conditions the EGRvalue can be turned off. NOx emission can be significantlyreduced through this technology. External piping, by passlines and related cooling mechanisms are some of theadditional parts necessary for efficiently operating manyexternal EGR systems. The corrosion of system componentscan also be exacerbated through the combustion of exhaustgas and moisture in the external piping causing problems ofreliability.
EXPERIMENTAL APPARATUS AND PROCEDURES
In the experiment the test engine consists of asingle cylinder direct injection Kirloskar diesel engine. It isnaturally aspirated water – cooled four stroke diesel engineas shown in figure.
One of the commonly used engines in agricultural,pump sets, farm machinery and medium scale commercialpurposes is Kirloskar engine. The construction of theengine is so rugged that it can endure higher pressuresduring tests. Further, it is very feasible for modifications onthe cylinder head and piston crown. This study used a singlecylinder, water cooled, four stroke direct injectioncompression ignition engine with a displacement volume of661 cc, compression ratio of 17.5:1, developing 5.9 kW at1800 rpm. And at constant rated speed of 1800 rpm thevariable load tests were conducted for no load, 1.5, 3.01,4.52 and 5.9 kW power output. The fuel injection pressure
was 200 bars and at 600C cooling water exit temperature.Murugesan et al (2).
The manufacturer recommended injection timingat 270 BTDC (spill). The push rods help in operatingoverhead valves of the open combustion chamber. Cylinderpressure was measured with piezoelectric pressuretransducer mounted on the cylinder head surface.

with regards to smoke, HC, CO, CO2,NOX and features ofcombustion with regards to pressure traces, maximumpressure, heat release, cumulative heat release, combustionduration and delay period. The evaluation all these abovethree are then compared with the results of baseline dieselengine.
Electric Dynamometer
A high speed type electric dynamometer witheddy-current electro brake is used in this study.
Load and Speed Measurements
At a persistent speed of 1800 rpm the engine wasrun. Load cell reading provided the load of the engine andits speed was checked by utilizing sensor together withdigital speed indicator.
Fuel consumption Measurement Devices
Diesel tank placed in the panel board supplied thefuel for the engine. The panel board had the burette so thatthe fuel to the engine will flow from the burette wheneverthe fuel cock was closed. Time taken for 10cc of fuelconsumption was noted for the fuel flow rates.
Temperature Measurement
Using the chrome alumel (K – Type)thermocouples the temperature of the cooling water inlet,outlet and exhaust gas was calculated.
Combustion Characteristics Measurement Devices
Combustion characteristics were examined bydetecting the crank angle, measurement of the fuel injectionand combustion pressure. Detection of the lift amount of aneedle valve of the fuel injection nozzle gave the Fuelinjection timings. A needle lift sensor was placed in the fuelinjector nozzle in order to detect the lift amount of needlevalve. A digital scope recorder recorded the output signal ofthe needle lift sensor. The fuel ignition timing wasestimated based on the wave determined by the crank angleor driving condition of the engine. The position of needlelift sensor used in this study is shown in fig 2.
In order to obtain in each instance the existinginformation in the combustion chamber of the engine it isessential to measure the pressure and find the combustionchamber pressure. For the purpose of monitoring thecombustion, information concerning the existing pressure inthe combustion chamber in each instance is essential. This
information will help in detecting the start and end timing ofthe combustion and ignition timing. So a piezo electricpressure transducer was placed in the upper side to ascertainthe combustion chamber pressure of the test engine. Thepressure detection component called the piezo-electriccrystal consists of self-temperature – compensating gagedeveloped by superior micro technology. Duringtemperature changes and zero-point variations, there areleast fluctuations in sensitivity facilitating its use over abroad temperature range. The tracing of the smallestmechanical variations occurred response to combustionpressure helps in accomplishing actual combustion pressure.And using an amplifier the signals detected by the pressuretransducer were sent to digital scope recorder. Fig 5describes the engine pressure transducer.
As discussed earlier, detection of the crank angle iskey to investigate the combustion characteristics of theengine. The crankshaft rotational direction is the key toaccurately establish the fuel injection and ignition timing. Inthis study, crank angle detector assembly fitted on the crankshaft of the test engine was utilized to identify the crankangle of the test engine. The output signal from crank angledetector assembly was sent to digital scope recorder.
A digital scope recorder was used in this study inorder to record and save the data of two types namely HDRand WVF. At every crank angles, the data of injector needlelift, compression pressure and crank angle were sampledand average on 50 cycles were recorded.
Exhaust Gas Emission Measurements Devices
In this study, measurement of hydrocarbon (HC),carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOX) and smokeemissions from the exhaust gas sampled from exhaust pipeof the test engine were done.
CRYPTON 290 SERIES EMISSION ANALYSERwas used to measure the emissions from the test engine. Achemical sensor which is a catalyst fitted next to the oxygensensor is used for measuring NOX. Sample exhaust gasestaken from exhaust pipe of the test engine were passedthrough a filter and then entered to the NOX analyzer. Thesmoke emission from the test engine was measured by usingan opacity (AVL make) type smoke meter.
Experimental Procedures
All the conditions such as fuel tank, oil level andcoolant of the test engine were checked before commencingthe experiments. And until stability was accomplished the

test engine was started and allowed to run. Gradually theengine load was increased to maximum recommended loadad simultaneously by following the makers’ instructionmanuals the dynamometer, all analyzers and meters formeasurements were switched on and required planning andsettings for measurements were executed. The steady stateengine test experiment commenced only after the test enginereached its stability and all the process for measurementswere completed. 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% were thefive different levels of application of loads with enginespeeds fixed at 1800 rpm. At each load level data wasrecorded for the measurements of consumption of fuel,intake air and its temperature, exhaust gas and enginecoolant temperature, crank angle and all emissions. For bothbiodiesel and diesel fuels experiments similar conditions,methods and procedures were applied. Experimental dataestimation and the examination were conducted after theengine experiments for all kinds of fuels were completed.The methods are explained in detail.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

As shown in Fig 6 to 8 the Brake ThermalEfficiency of engine decreased with increase in the amountof biodiesel blends. And rate of efficiency increases as EGRrate is increased and further than 15% EGR level there isdrastic reduction in the BTE.

SEC (in kJ/ kWh) = Calorific value of the fuel * Specificfuel consumption
The disparity of specific energy consumption withvaried EGR rate along with different fuels that are blendedis depicted in graph (Fig 9 to Fig12). We see that based onthe calorific value the specific energy consumption of fuelsincreases with increase in the amount of blended fuels.
EMISSION CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ENGINE
Carbon monoxide (CO)

Variation in CO with various EGR levels is shownin the graph (Fig 13 to Fig16). When compared to dieselemission, the release of CO from bio-diesel was lower.With increase in EGR rate the CO levels increased. Whenoperating under the deficiency of oxygen there is higherCO values for diesel under higher EGR. Whereasdeficiency of oxygen is partly compensated with thesurplus oxygen for bio-diesel under EGR. The reason forhigher CO emissions can also be due to the disintegrationof CO2 to CO when loads reach its climax. During this timethe combustion temperatures becomes high andcomparatively fuel rich operation exists.
UNBURNED HYDROCARBONS (HC)
The graph (Fig 17 to Fig20) shows variation of HCemission with EGR rate. Even as EGR level was increasedfor bio-diesel there was no drastic increase in HC. Thepossible reason could be because of the surplus oxygen inbio-diesel making it up for the shortage of oxygen whichfurther facilitates the process of complete combustion. Thevariation over this range was only 10–40 ppm for bio-diesel. As the EGR rate was increased the bio-diesel blendsemission reduced. For B40 (15% EGR) is the minimumvalue of the HC emission.
OXIDES OF NITROGEN (NOX)
The variation of NOx emissions with various EGRrate for the whole load range is shown in The graph (Fig 21to Fig24). Emission of NOx increased with increase in thecontent of biodiesel in the blended fuels. Moreover NOxemission from the biodiesel was higher than diesel. Thehigher oxygen level could be the possible reason for
1st INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES IN ENGINEERING, MANAGEMENT AND SCIENCES, 16th& 17th NOVEMBER 2017
40 ISBN 978-93-86770-41-7
increase in NOx concentration by about 2 to 10 per centfrom biodiesel fuelled engine. As shown in the figure theNOx level decreases with the increase in EGR rate. Despite20 % EGR reducing NOx significantly, the reduction inBTE, CO increase and HC emissions were observed.
CYLINDER PRESSURE:
There was no EGR condition found to becomparable for diesel and bio-diesel for Cylinder pressuredata obtained at 3/4 load. Under these conditions peakpressure was found to be 62 bars and 60 bars for diesel andbio-diesel respectively. So at higher loads with hightemperatures diesel shows a fair blend formation.
PRESSURE VS CRANK ANGLE:
The percentage of heat input is taken for diesel andvarious blends with 15% and without EGR. The fig 24shows the comparison of the crank angle (deg) withPressure for all fuels blends with 15% and without EGR.The figure shows that the amount of energy suppliedincreases with pressure. Without EGR there is minimumvalues for the engine is and with 15% EGR there ismaximum values.
Fig.25 Pressure vs Crank Angle
HEAT RELEASE RATE:
Rate of heat release (HRR) are shown in Figure.For diesel under 3/4 load and 15% EGR there is faintlyhigher peak HRR of 79.64 J/deg and 76.34 J/deg for biodiesel. Premixed combustion in a better way can increaseheat release rate which also facilitates increased NOemission. Higher HRR for bio-diesel devoid of EGR ispossibly because of the surplus oxygen content in itsstructure and a dynamic injection advance apart from static
injection advance. With optimized EGR of 15% and withoutfor both fuels is shown.
Fig.26 Heat Release Rate vs Crank Angle
RATE OF PRESSURE RISE:
The figure shows that the variation of rate ofpressure rises with crank angle which is indicative of noisyoperation of the engine. With optimized EGR of 15% andwithout for both fuels, the Rate of pressure rise was found tobe comparable. Peak values at ¾ loads were found to be1.2 bar/deg. The comparable state is indicative of stable andnoise free operation of compression ignition engines withJBD.

CONCLUSION
In this study, Methyl Esters of ALGAE oil (MEJ)and its mixture were tested with Kirloskar Engine. It wasthen compared with traditional commercial diesel fuel.Biodiesel and its blends showed a faintly less brake thermalefficiency as compared to diesel fuel at tested loadconditions. Specific Energy Consumption of fuels increaseswith increase in the amounts of blended fuels owing tolower calorific values. It was also found that the release ofcarbon monoxide (CO) increased as biodiesel blendsincreased. And as EGR rate increased there was a slightdecrease in the efficiency of the engine because of higherEGR and CO. In biodiesel the increase in EGR ratedecreased the release of NOX and HC. It was also found thatthe release of NOX and HC from the biodiesel fuel washigher than that of diesel.
For Higher EGR rate, emission is reduced withsimultaneous decrease in performance. Therefore 15%EGR for fuels is favorable to enhance its performance andemission characteristics with various EGR rate.

The S-Shaped locomotive wheel profile has been developed byusing commercial tool CATIA V5 which is modeled as Axi-symmetric model. We have chosen the AAR class C high carbonsteel, ASTM A897 grade5 (230-185-00) Austempered ductile iron(ADI) and Aluminum silicon carbide materials for this study soas to check the feasibility of other materials for railway wheelother than steel. Static, Modal and thermo-mechanical analysesare conducted by using finite element analysis commercial toolANSYS 15.0. 2-D Axi symmetric analysis is chosen for the wheelprofile in ANSYS.
The stress distributions, displacements are analyzed inStatic analysis. The natural Frequencies and mode shapes areanalyzed in Modal analysis. Stresses and displacements due toboth mechanical and thermal loads will be analyzed from theThermo mechanical analysis. Comparison of stresses,displacements and natural frequencies for the S-Shaped wheelprofile are studied to determine the better material for the wheelprofile.

I. INTRODUCTION
The fast and reliable transport of people and goods hasbecome increasingly important in this era. Transferring peopleand goods by wheeled vehicles running on tracks is one of themost cost effective transports and is widely known by thename as rail transport. Wheel is one of the most heavilyloaded components of railway rolling stock.Wheels aremanufactured by casting or forging to obtain the specifichardness. Steel material has been using for manufacturing ofrailway wheels. They support the locomotive weight andprovide the traction to pull the entire train. The important tasksprovided by the wheels are, aid in train movement, supportingthe car load and acts as a brake drum.
Frequently observed Wheel failures in Indian Railways are: (i)Wear from flange and tread regions, (ii) Worn-out due tofrequent re-profiling of wheel tread, (iii) Formation of wheelat from continuous dragging of wheel against rail, (iii)Thermal and mechanical fatigue due to higher temperaturesand mechanical loads, (iv) Wheel tread plastic deformation
from higher wheel running temperatures, (v) Breakages at rim-disc and disc-hub interfaces due to excess heating or fromresidual stresses from wheel heat treatment, (vi) Excess wheelwear from tread region (vii) Wheel shelling and (viii) Wheelgauge widening.

In this analysis first we solve the thermal analysis and theresulting temperature is induced in static analysis.
The heat generated on the wheel rim is due to the braking anddue to the contact with the rail. This heat generated is passesthrough the inside of the wheel profile. So, the heat flux iscalculated as,
Assume Velocity of the bogie (v) at the time of braking= 80Kmph = 80*(5/18) =22.222 m/s.Assume Time the bogie brought to rest = 30s.Assume Mass of the axi-symmetric 2-D wheel profile isnegligible so consider mass of the wheel profile as unit mass.They consist of surface area.Kinetic energy generated at the wheel profile= 0.5*m*v2
KE=0.5*1*22.2222= 246.908 J.Power generated = Kinetic energy / time taken = 8.23028W.Heat flux generated for the wheel cross section = Powergenerated / area.Heat flux generated for the S-Shaped wheel profile:Surface area of the S-Shaped wheel profile= 36042mm2.HF= Power generated/area = 8.23028/36042= 2.283115994e-4w/mm2.Fig.6 depicts the steady state thermal boundary conditions andFig.7 depicts the Boundary conditions after applying thermaland static loads in thermo-mechanical analysis.

Abstract:
Aim of this study is to investigate the effect of
combustion chamber design and injection strategies on the
performance of a direct injection compression engine. Recent
advancements in the design of piston top is to add bowl shape
instead of a flat top to enhance the mixing process as the
piston reaches the top dead centre. Radially inward gas motion
that takes place near the end of compression stroke is called
Squish. The squish motion generates a secondary flow called
tumble, where the rotation occurs about a circumferential axis
near the outer edge of the piston bowl. Three dimensional
CFD simulations were conducted on two bowl configurations to
understand the effect of swirl and tumble on emissions.
Optimized bowl configuration was considered to further study
the injection strategies.

Introduction:
Designed more than a century ago, Diesel engine
continues to be the most widely used engine in both stationary
and mobile installations. Diesel engines are widely used in
submarines, ships, power plants, automobiles, trucks and
of any practical internal combustion engine due to its high
many more. Diesel engine has the highest thermal efficiency
compression ratio, unthrottled operation and inherent lean
burn. However when compared, diesel engines have higher
emissions of NOx and particulate matter. Due to stringent
norms followed by aggressive research and innovations diesel
engines are becoming more eco-friendly.
The performance and emission characteristics of any
IC Engine depends on many parameters like the In-cylinder
fluid motion, time scales of the intake airflow, Fuel injection
timings, air fuel ratios and so on. To magnify the rotational
force of incoming air, pistons are designed to have bowl in its
crown. It is well known that fuel injection strategies including
fuel injection timings also play a vital role in the performance
of an IC engine. To understand this complex combustion
phenomena design engineers extensively use Computational
Fluid Dynamics techniques.
Computational Fluid Dynamics has emerged from a
qualitative guiding technique to an inevitable tool in the
design of IC engines. Unlike the conventional experimental
techniques, CFD predicts the detail insight into the spatial
temporal variations of all the variables, without modifying or
installing the components. Advent of powerful hardware,
parallel processing techniques, cloud computing further
enhanced CFD to significantly reduce the cost and turnaround
time in the design process.
In this study Computational Fluid Dynamics is used
to investigate the effect of combustion chamber design and
split injection vs uniform injection on the performance and
emission components of a compression ignition engine.
Hill et al. reported that swirl and tumble can

significantly increase the turbulence intensity during
combustion period. This in turn increases the thermal
efficiency and reduces emission
Tow et al. (1994) concluded from an experimental
study a double injection with a significantly long delay
between injections reduced particulate by as much as a factor
of three over a single injection at 75% load with no increase in
NOx. Raouf Mobasheri et al. (2012) discussed about using
pilot injection accompanied with an optimized main injection
has a significant beneficial effect on combustion process so
that it could form a separate 2nd stage of heat release which
could reduce the maximum combustion temperature, which
leads to the reduction of the NOx formation.
In the current study, along with pilot and main
injections advanced post injection is also introduced. It was of
interest to check the emission reduction capability of a multi
injection (Three Pulses) system in comparison to uniform
injection system using CFD. In multi injection system three
pulses are given i.e Pilot Injection, Main Injection, Advanced
Post Injection. Comparisons of maximum static temperature,
Maximum static pressure, Penetration length, Mass averaged
turbulent kinetic energy, heat release rate, Mass fraction of
Carbon monoxide (CO), Carbon dioxide (CO2), and Nitrogen
dioxide (NO2) were presented.
Geometry & Meshing:
Connecting rod length of 165mm and crank radius of
55mm with 0.0 piston offset is used to create the geometry.
Compression ratio was set to 15.75:1. Engine speed is set to
1500 RPM. Deep Re-Entrant bowl and Spherical bowl are
considered for piston bowl simulations as shown in figure 1&
Figure 2.
Figure 1: Deep re-entrant bowl.
Figure 2: Spherical bowl.
In both the configurations approximately 0.5 Million
elements were used to discretize the geometry. The present
mesh density was found to give sufficiently grid independent
results. Injector is located at the centre of the combustion
chamber, and because of this symmetrical location, 600 Sector
was used for the simulation. The valves are not considered
because this simulation is carried out between closures of inlet
valve (IVC) and opening of outlet valve (EVO). For the
purpose of simulation beginning of crank angle is considered
as 3600. In this case, the piston reaches the bottom dead centre
at a crank angle 540°. The Inlet valve closes at 570° i.e. 30°
ABDC (after BDC). Piston reaches the TDC at 720° and BDC
at 900°. The Outlet valve opens at 60° (approx) before BDC
i.e 8330 of crank angle. Spray starting crank angle is 712 ° (80
before TDC). Spray angle is 700 .
Injection profiles:
The main idea of this work is to understand the effect
of split injection on emission reduction capability without
compromising on fuel economy. In both the situations
injection is given from the crank angle 7120 to 7380. In split
injection same amount of fuel is given in three pulses.

In split Injection simulation, approximately 22% of
the total fuel is injected from crank angle 7120 to 7160 as pilot
injection. Main injection consisting of 67% of the total fuel is
injected from crank angle 7250 to 7380. Remaining 11% fuel is
injected between the crank angles 7360 to 7380. Figure 3
shows the profile chart for uniform injection field and split
injection field.
Figure 3: Profile chart
Boundary conditions & Solver settings:
Uniform wall temperature of 440 K is imposed on
cylinder wall and 560 K is specified on piston top.
For species model, the standard Diesel Unsteady
Flamelet model based on the work of Pitsch et al. and Barths
et al. is used with 2 unsteady flamelets. Two equation k-e
model is used to account the turbulence effects with standard
wall functions based on the work of Launder and Spalding.
Results and Discussions:
Swirl ratio changes through the cycle; During Intake
it will be high and reduces after reaching BDC during
compression stroke. The decrease in compression stroke is
due to viscous drag with cylinder walls. Combustion increase
the swirl during power stroke (at 7200 as highlighted in Figure
5), but expansion and viscous drag quickly reduce this again.
This behaviour is clearly visible in the simulations as shown
in Figure 4 & 5.
Re-entrant bowl shows better swirl and tumble ratios
as shown in figure 4 to 7. As discussed earlier this effect
shows reduced emission for re-entrant bowl as shown in
figure 8 to 9.

Re-Entrant bowl configuration shows better swirl and
tumble profile resulting lower emissions. Thus further
simulations related to Injection strategies were carried out on
Re-entrant bowl.
Uniform injection profile shows a maximum static
temperature and also significantly larger temperature at the
start of EVO. Uniform injection also shows the spread of high
temperature zone for longer crank angle duration.

Nitrogen oxides, or NOx, arose from a high-temperature flame
inside the engine. NOx emissions are toxic, and also they react
with other pollutants to create ground-level ozone, or smog. In
this numerical study also there is a good agreement is
observed with peak temperatures and associated NOx content.

Conclusions:
CFD is used to investigate the emission reduction capability
of Piston bowl design and a multi injection vs uniform
injection system. Apart from conventional two injections,
advanced post injection is also introduced. Better swirl and
tumble ratios were observed with Re-entrant bowl
configuration. Better swirl and tumble profiles enhanced
mixing and resulted lower emissions in re-entrant bowl
configuration. Higher peak temperatures and also higher
temperatures at the time of exhaust valve open, were observed
in uniform injection system in comparing with the split
injection system. It was also observed that the volume of high
temperature zone is more in uniform injection. Lower peak
temperatures and a smaller volume of high temperature zone,
resulted a significant reduction in emission constituents in
multi injection system.
It is further advised to investigate the optimum split
shown in Figure 16 & 17. timings for the injection to
constituents.

Abstract—Aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) are potentiallight weight engineering materials with excellent properties. Thepresent investigation aims to evaluate the properties of red mudparticulate reinforced with aluminium 6061 metal matrixcomposites. Red mud particulates in different weight fractionsare under dry condition. Composites are prepared by Stir castingmethod. The main objective of this study is to develop red mudreinforced aluminum composites using stir casting and thepowder metallurgy process. Red mud is a material which isobtained as industrial waste during the production of alumina byBayer’s process. Red mud could be used as reinforcement for theproduction of aluminum composites. Using varying wt. % ofreinforcement, the aluminium composites are fabricated by stircasting method. Due to technological advancements, it is possibleto use Nano sized reinforcement in Al matrix. Nano sizedreinforcements enhance the properties of Al matrix compared tomicro sized reinforcements. With increasing volume fraction,more loads are transferred to the reinforcement which results ina higher yield strength, ultimate tensile strength and bendingforce and ductility to the Al-alloy/Red mud composites. Thisproject is focused on overview of development in the field of Albased metal matrix with Nano aluminium based composites.

I. INTRODUCTION (HEADING 1)
Composite materials play an important role in the field ofscience and engineering as well as advance manufacturing inresponse to unprecedented demands from technology due torapidly advancing activities in aircrafts, aerospace, sportinggoods, marine and automotive industries. These materials havelow specific gravity that makes their properties, particularlysuperior in strength and modulus of many traditionalengineering materials such as metals. As a result of intensivestudies into the fundamental nature of materials and betterunderstanding of their structure property relationship, it hasbecome possible to develop new composite materials withimproved physical and mechanical properties. These newmaterials include high performance composites such asreinforced composites. Continuous advancements have led to
the use of composite materials in more and more diversifiedapplications.
In a composite material, the matrix is a primary phase andhaving a continuous character. The matrix is usually moreductile and less hard phase that completely surrounds thereinforcement phase. Aluminum is the most popular matrix forthe metal matrix composites. The Al alloys are quite attractivedue to their low density, their capability to be strengthened byprecipitation, their good corrosion resistance, high thermal andelectrical conductivity, and their high damping capacity.
Figure 1: Aluminum 6061-T6
The other constituent of composite materials isreinforcement. It increases the strength, stiffness and thetemperature resistance capacity and lowers the density ofMMC. In order to achieve these properties, the selectiondepends on the type of reinforcement, its method of productionand chemical compatibility with the matrix and the followingaspects must be considered while selecting the reinforcementmaterial. Reinforcements are characterized by their chemicalcomposition, shape, dimensions and properties as in gradientmaterial and their volume fraction and spatial distribution inthe matrix. In this project we selected redmud as thereinforcement. Red Mud (RM) is the industrial waste orinsoluble residue generated by the Bayer process which is usedto extract Aluminum from bauxite. Typical red mud maycontain as much as 30-60% Fe2O3, 10-20% A1203, 350% Sic,2-10% Na2O, 2-8% CaO and 24% TiO2 depending upon

chemical and mineralogical make up of bauxite and bauxitetreatment technology. About 0.5-2 tons of red mud is generatedfor each ton of Aluminum produced. The Indian bauxiteprocessing industries contribute over 1.9 million tons of redmud in about 40 million tons/year of red mud producedglobally.

Base Metal Calculation:
Mass of each specimen of Al, M = ρ×V
Where ρ is density of Aluminum =2.7 gm/cm3
ρ = M/V
V=Volume of specimen= πr2h
Here r = 0.75cm, radius of specimen
h = 12cm, height of specimen
M = ρ × V
= ρ × πr 2h
= 2.7 × π × (0.75)2 × 12

For a die, Two specimen = 7.5 *2=15 gms
Mass of reinforcement, 7 % = (150 × 7)/100 = 11gms
For a die, Two specimen = 11 *2=22 gms
V. MECHANICAL CHARATERIZATION

VII. CONCLUSION
The fabrication of red mud reinforced aluminum metalmatrix composites using stir casting. The effect of addition ofthe reinforcement on the aluminum alloy is studied with thechanges in the physical, mechanical properties. In addition tothat study on the fabricated composites by stir casting methodis also analyzed. These analyses included the Tensile test andHardness test.
It is found that the yield strength of Aluminum is 66.55N/mm2 and it increased to 83.74 N/mm2 for 5% addition ofRMp and on further increase of RMp to 7% we found out itincreased to 96.65 N/mm2. Therefore, we conclude that withthe addition of RMp there is an increase in Yield Strength ofbase metal by 25.83%for 5% addition of RMp and for 7% theincrease was 45.22% which is as per our assumption.
From the Hardness Test point of view, we can say that thehardness of base metal is 45BHN and for 5% addition of RMpwe found out that the hardness is 56.6 BHN and for 7% it wasfound that the hardness value is 62.2 BHN. therefore theincrease of weight fraction increases the hardness of a basemetal by 25.77% for 5% addition and 38.22% for 7% addition.Which is as per our assumption that with increase in wt.Fraction the hardness of base metal increases

I. INTRODUCTION
Transport processes in porous media can involve fluid,heat and mass transfer in single or multi-phase scenarios. Suchflows with and without buoyancy effects arise frequently inmany branches of chemical engineering and owing to theirviscous-dominated nature are generally simulated using theDarcy model. Applications of such flows include chip-basedmicrofluidic chromatographic separation devices (Dorfman etal. 2002)[1]. Porous media flow simulations are also critical inconvective processes in hygroscopic materials (Turner et al.1998)[2], electro remediation in soil decontaminationtechnique wherein an electric field applied to a porous
medium generates the migration of ionic species in solution(Pomes et al. 2002)[3]. Both Darcian and Darcy-Forchheimer(inertial) models have been employed extensively in radiative-convection flows in porous media, Takhar et al. (1998)[4]used an implicit difference scheme and the Cogley-Vincenti-Giles non-gray model to simulate the radiation-convection gasflow in a non-Darcy porous medium with viscous heatingeffects, Nagaraju et al. (2001) [5] used the Schuster-Schwartzchild two-flux radiative model and the Blottner finitedifference scheme to investigate the combined radiative andconvective heat transfer in a medium with variable porosity,Takhar et al. (2003)[6] employed a Runge-Kutta-Mersonshooting quadrature and the Rosseland diffusion algebraicradiation model to analyze the mixed radiation-convectionflow in a non-Darcy porous medium, showing thattemperature gradients are boosted with radiative flux. Morerecently Chamkha et al. (2004) [7] studied the influence ofthermal radiation on steady natural convection in aviscoelastic-fluid saturated non-Darcian porous medium usingthe Keller Box numerical scheme. Temperatures were seen tobe substantially boosted with an increase in radiativeparameter. Hossain and Pop (2001) [8] studied radiationeffects on free convection over a flat plate embedded in aporous medium with high-porosity. Takhar et al. (2002) [9]reported natural convection on a vertical cylinder embedded ina thermally stratified high-porosity medium.
The above articles have generally been confined toviscous-dominated transport in porous media. At highervelocities the Darcian model is insufficient for simulatingtransport inertial effects are invoked. These are frequentlysimulated with the Forchheimer second order model alsoknown as the quadratic drag model. The generalized

formulation employed in fluid mechanics of porous media hascome to be known as the Darcy-Forchheimer model. Otherapproaches have also been developed and these fall into therealm of non-Darcy flow models. Although there are moresophisticated approaches available for mimicking porousmedia drag effects at higher Reynolds number, these requireintensive computational analysis.
In many polymer manufacturing processes, various typesof wall slip may airse. These are generally ignored in theNavier-Stokes viscous Newtonian model. However theycannot be neglected when non-adherence arises related tomolecular properties of the polymer. Slip flows may also beencountered in lubrications systems [10], [11], micro-scaleelectro-osmotic devices [12], thermodynamic micro-devices(where frequently a Knudsen number is employed) [13], bio-nano-polymer extrusion processes [14], additivefluoropolymer reinforced plastic fabrication [15] and slidinglubrication [16]. Prasad et al. [17] utilized a finite differencemethod to compute the heat and momentum transfer inenrobing boundary layer slip flow from a cylinder with aviscoplastic model.
To the authors’ knowledge no studies have thus far beencommunicated with regard to thermal convection from acylinder in porous media. The objective of the present paper istherefore to analyze the development of steady boundary-layerflow and heat transfer in saturated, isotropic, homogenousporous media, for the case of a horizontal cylinder. A non-similarity solution is developed. The Keller-box differencescheme is used to solve the normalized boundary layerequations. The present problem has to the authors’ knowledgenot appeared thus far in the scientific literature and is relevantto polymeric thermal enrobing processes immersed in a porousmedium.
II. MATHEMATICAL FLOW MODEL
Two-dimensional, steady state, laminar magnetohydrodynamic, incompressible, non-Newtonian Prandtl-Eyring polymer flow and thermal convection in the externalperiphery of an isothermal circular cylinder is considered. Thecylinder is embedded in a porous medium of constantpermeability in all directions (isotropic). Thermal dispersionand stratification effects are ignored. A radial magnetic fieldof constant strength is applied and the cylinder is electricallynon-conducting so that current density vanishes at the surface.Both thermal and momentum slip (to first order) are present atthe cylinder surface. Magnetic Reynolds number is sufficientlysmall to negate induced magnetic field produced by themotion of the conducting fluid. Thermal buoyancy is present.However non-linearity is considered and therefore simulatedwith the non-Bousssinq model. The physical model is depictedin Fig. 1. The Cauchy stress tensor for a Prandtl-Eyring fluid
following Iftikhar and Rehman [18] and Joseph [57] is definedas:
T pI S (1)
Where p is the fluid pressure, I is the identity tensor, is
the dynamic viscosity and S is called the extra stress tensorof non-Newtonian Prandtl-Eyring- fluid which follows ahyperbolic distribution as defined below:

In the above equation, A, and C are fluid parameters and A1 isrelated to the strain tensor. Further details of thethermodynamics of the Prandtl-Eyring model are given inJoseph [19]. A rigorous proof of the physical viability of thismodel is also available in Breit [20], in particular the existenceof solutions for polymeric flows.
The fluid properties are considered constant except densitychanges which produce buoyancy forces. Density variation isextended to a second order approximation with the non-linearBoussinesq approximation for improved analysis of non-linearconvection of heat transport [21] i.e.

III. NUMERICAL SOLUTION
In this study the efficient Keller-Box implicitdifference method has been employed to solve the generalflow model defined by equations (7) – (8) with boundaryconditions (9) and this system is developed by Cebeci andBradshaw [22]. The numerical results are affected by thenumber of mesh points in both directions. After some trials inthe η-direction a larger number of mesh points are selectedwhereas in the ξ direction significantly less mesh points areutilized. ηmax has been set at 16 and this defines an adequatelylarge value at which the prescribed boundary conditions aresatisfied. ξmax is set at 3.0 for this flow domain. The computerprogram of the algorithm is executed in MATLAB running ona PC. The method demonstrates excellent stability,convergence and consistency, as elaborated by Keller [23].
The fundamental phases intrinsic to the Keller Box Schemeare:
1. Reduction of the Nth order partial differential equationsystem to N first order equations2. Finite Difference Discretization

3. Quasilinearization of Non-Linear Keller AlgebraicEquations4. Block-tridiagonal Elimination of Linear Keller AlgebraicEquations
This method gives better results than the other methods. Itgives accurate results. This method is useful to find thesolutions of non-similarity problems.
It has the following advantages:
1) Keller Box discretization is fully coupled at each time stepis a reflection of the physics of parabolic systems.2) It allows the discretization of physics and calculus exactlyso that the resulting numerical methods and discrete solutionscannot violate any physical or mathematical principles.3) It is simpler than the vast majority of other interpolationschemes. Different interpolations can lead to finite volume,finite difference, or finite element type methods. Themathematical foundations of the Keller Box scheme make itfar more robust as it employs a solid, dependableinterpolation choice – piecewise constant and linear functionsin the cells.4) In the Keller-Box scheme the spatial integration is exactand does not require an approximation. For thermal boundarylayer problems, it has the advantage therefore that the heatcapacity and velocity flux are assumed to be known.5) Keller’s box method has a second order convergence rateand is faster and cheaper to implement than the finite volumemethod.6) A symmetric matrix can be generated so that a fastconjugate gradient algorithm can be used to obtain a solution.Second order spatial and temporal accuracy on genericunstructured meshes is achievable also and the computationalcost per solver iteration to obtain a desired accuracy issignificantly lower than classical Finite Volume schemes.
IV. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
Fig. 2 a shows that increasing momentum slip decreasespolymer fluid velocity near the cylinder surface, whereasfurther into the boundary layer transverse to the cylindersurface there is an increase in flow velocity with momentumslip (Sf). This is associated with the re-distribution in linearmomentum. A marked decrease in temperature accompanies anincrease in hydrodynamic slip, as observed in fig. 2b. Thermalboundary layer thickness is therefore reduced with greater firstorder velocity slip at the wall. Figs. 3a,b reveals that thermalslip (ST) has a more complex influence on velocity andtemperature distributions. Initially near the cylinder surfacegreater thermal slip generates a strong deceleration in theboundary layer flow whereas further from the surface it inducesa weak acceleration. These trends have been computed withother non-Newtonian models by for example Latiff et al. [24]for micropolar fluids. The presence of thermal slip also has aninfluence on free convection currents in the regime, inparticular at and near the wall, although its influence decays
with distance away from the wall (cylinder surface).Temperatures are significantly decreased at and near the wallwhereas they are slightly elevated towards the free stream. Fig.4a shows that increasing Prandtl fluid parameter ( ) increasesthe flow velocity near the cylinder; however further into theboundary layer the opposite effect is induced and flow isdecelerated. The decreasing viscosity associated withincreasing Prandtl fluid parameter ( ) clearly reduces thesurface drag. However the destruction in momentum at the wallhas to be compensated for elsewhere in the boundary layer.This leads to acceleration in the polymer flow further from thewall. Fig 4b shows that temperature is consistently elevatedwith increasing Prandtl fluid parameter (). Thermal boundarylayer thickness is therefore enhanced with decreasing polymerviscosity (higher values).

IV. CONCLUSION
Numerical solutions have been presented for multi-slipmagneto hydrodynamic convection flow of a non-Newtonianpolymer from the external surface of a horizontal cylinderadjacent to a saturated porous medium with buoyancy effects.The model developed is motivated by further elucidatingtransport phenomena in magnetic filtration systems forindustrial materials processing. The transformed two-dimensional conservation boundary layer equations have beensolved with the Keller box finite difference scheme (KBM).

ABSTRACT:The refrigeration system consumes moreenergy by using a electrical source. In this paperrefrigeration effect created by using the solar energy asthe source. The solar energy is a renewable energy.There are different types of technologys to convertsolar energy to refrigeration effect. The review coverssolar, light energy, mechanical energy and new otheremerging technologies. In this system the solar thermalenergy create the refrigeration effect by using theFresnel lens and Stirling engine.. The principle of aFresnel lens is that the spread of light does not changeinside a medium. Instead, light rays are only deviatedat the surfaces of a medium, it will generate the heat upto 1800ºc.
Stirling engine is an External combustion engine whichconverts the thermal energy into mechanical energy. Inthis system we are converting light energy into thermalenergy by using Fresnel lens and then thermal energyto mechanical energy by using Stirling engine. TheStirling engine connected to a compressor. The lowtemperature and low pressure refrigerant vapourenters to compressor and it is compressed to a hightemp andhigh pressure, after then the vapour enters tothe condenser, the rifrigent vapour cooled and thevapour is converted into liquid. The expansion valveallows liquid refrigerant and reducing the temperatureand pressure. After that it enters to the evaporator inwhich refrigerant is at high temperature and lowpressure is evaporated changed to vapour. The cyclewill be repeated.

Fresnel is converts the light energy into the form ofheat energy. Fresnel lens used are solarconcentrators. Fresnel lens offer high opticalefficiency along with minimum weight and less cost.The lens is the essential chain of prisms. Each prismrepeats the slope of the lens surfaces. The Fresnellens is initially observe the solar rays andconcentrated at one point. The intensity of solar raysproduce high heat at the point of concentration theheat developed up to 1800ºc temperature.
There are mainly two types of Fresnel lens:
1. Imaging type Fresnel lens
2. Non-imaging type Fresnel lens.
Imaging Fresnellenses: The imaging Fresnel lenshave the portions with bended cross-areas and itdelivered sharp images.
Non-imaging Fresnel lenses:Non-imaging Fresnellenses quietly opposite to the imaging lenses. Non-imaging Fresnel lenseshas segments with flat cross-sections.It’snot create sharp images.
As the segments increases in the lenses, the twotypes of lens become appears more similar to eachother. In the imaging and non-imaging lenses ifincreasing the no of segmentsthe distinction amongstbended and level portions vanished.
Some type of imaging Fresnel lens discussed below
Imaging type of Fresnel lens:
1.speherical
2.cylindrical
Spherical shaped Fresnel lens:These is a simple type of imaging Fresnel lens,these lenses usingring-shaped segments at the endthat are at each portion of the sphere, these all solarrays focuses at a single point. This spherical type ofimaging focal point creates a sharp picture, despitethe fact that not exactly in light of the comparablebasic round focal point because of diffraction at theedges of the edge.
Cylindrical shaped Fresnel lens:The cylindrical Fresnel lens is a typeofsimple cylindricallens, uses a straight segmentsalong with circular cross-section, the solar raysconcentrating light on a single line. This sortdelivers a sharp images, in spite of the fact that notexactly in view of the identical straightforward tubeshaped focal point because of diffraction at theedges of the edges.
The non-imaginglenses mainly two types.
Non-imaging type of Fresnel lens:
1. Spot
2. linear
Spot:In spot Fresnel focal point utilizes ring-shapedfragments with cross segments that are straight linesthan roundabout circular segments.Such a spot focalpoint can concentrate light on a little spot. Becauseof that they don't create a
sharp image. These focal points have application insun powered power.
Linear:In a linear type of non-imagingFresnel focal pointutilizes straight portions whose cross segments arestraight lines instead of circular segments. Theselinear type of non-imaging Fresnel lenses ,althoughthe solar rays focus light onto a narrow band, Thestraight sort non imaging Fresnel focal point don'tdeliver a sharp image, however it can be utilized as apart of sun oriented power, for example, forconcentrating daylight on a pipe.

STIRLING ENGINE:
A Stirling engine is an External combustion heatengine, it is worked on cyclic compression andexpansion of working fluid at different temperatures,that there is a net conversion of heatenergy tomechanical work. In this using the air as a workingfluid. Actually the Stirling engine is a closed-cycleengine.it is regenerative heat engine.with apermanently gaseous working fluid. It have a highefficiency compare toother steam engines.it gives50% efficiency. The Stirling engine is likewise ableto do calm operation and we can utilize any heatsource to change over the thermal energy intomechanical energy.The heat energy source is createdouter to the Stirling engine as opposed to by internalburning as thermal Otto cycle or diesel cycle Theheat energy source is created outer to the Stirlingengine as opposed to by internal burning as thermalOtto cycle or diesel cycle.

The alpha Stirling contains two power cylinders inindependent chamber. One is hot and another iscool. The hot cylinder is mounted inside the hightemperature heat exchanger. and the cold cylinderismounted inside the low temperature heatexchanger. The alpha type of engine has high powerto volume ratio. And has a some technical problemsis the high temperature of the piston and thedurability of the seal. In real practice the cylinder forthe most part conveying a huge protecting head tomove seals far from the hot zone to the detriment ofsome extra dead space. An angle of 90°frequentlylocks.
Beta configuration operation:
It has a single power piston the piston is mountingwithin the same cylinder on the same shaft as adisplacer piston. The displacer piston has loose fitand piston don't separate any power from theextended gas yet just the piston serves to carry theworking gas between the hot and cold region heatexchanger. At the point when the working air ispushed to the hot end of the cylinder the gas willextends and pushes or moves the power piston. Atthe point when the piston is pushed to the coldend ofthe chamber and the gas will contracts and theenergy of the machine, generally improved by aflywheel, pushes the power piston the otherapproach to compacting the gas. When the alpha, thebeta Stirling engine stays away from the specializedissues of hot moving seals.In the event that theregenerator is utilized as a part of a beta engine, it isnormally in the position of the displacer and moving,regularly volume of wire mesh.

Stirling engine cycle:
The Stirling cycle comprises of 4 thermodynamicprocedures following up on the working fluid
Fig 5 the Stirling engine cycle
1. Isothermalexpansion: In the isothermalextension space and connected with heat exchangerare keep up at a consistent high temperature, and thegas experiences a close isothermal expansionretaining heat from the hot source.
2. Constantvolume:
The gas is gone through the regenerator, where itcools, exchanging heat to the regenerator for nextcycle.
3.Isothermal compression:
The compression space and related heat exchangerare kept up at constant temperature so the gas undergoes close isothermal compression dismissing heatto the cool sink.
4. Constant-volume(known as iso-volumetric orisochoric) heat-addition. The gas goes back throughthe regenerator where it recover a great part of theheat transfer in 2, heating up on its way to theextension space.
Vapour compression refrigeration system:Thevapour compression refrigeration has four essentialparts:
1.compresssor
2.condensor
3.expansion

1. Introduction
The Aluminium matrix composites (AMCs) reinforced withceramic particles has been widely used in aeronautical andaerospace industries due to their high specific Strength andmodulus, readily fabrication and low cost[1,2]. The Metalmatrix composites are being to their enhanced propertiessuch as hardness, tensile strength, elastic modulus andelevated temperatures, wear resistance combined withsignificant weight savings over unreinforced alloys. TheMMCs production is preferred by alloys matrix materials.They are inherent with heat resistant, wear resistant anditsproperties Gr, Al2O3, MMCs and Sic are used asreinforcements[3-5].
The Tribological properties of aluminium (Al) can besignificantly improved by the addition of hard ceramicparticles into matrix. Moreover the Tribological propertiesof these composites can be further improved by adding solidlubricant particles, namely graphite and molybdenumdisulphide, in order to produce hybrid composite[6, 7].Wearis common phenomenon of all elements having any relativemotion such as reciprocating and rotating motions of
pistons, cylinder bores, connecting rods, drive shaft, brakerotors, bearings, etc. Therefore, wear is an important aspectto be duly considered while designing with these elementsto ensure better and reliable performance in any tribologicalapplications [8, 9].
The aim of this Study is to investigate the effect find themechanical and Tribological properties of Aluminium (Al5083 / TiO2 /ZrSiO4) such as Hardness, Tensile Strength,SEM and EDAX, Wear loss of Aluminium reinforcedhybrid composites. This are studied and presented in detail.

4. Conclusion
In the Current investigation, an attempt has beencreating to study the effects of Hybrid Composite materials.The properties of Hybrid Composite materials werecharacterized using Brinell hardness tests, tensile tests;Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis, EDAX, andWear test analysis that show an increase in withstandcapacity up to the limits. Theconclusion from the currentexperimental findings are as follows:
1) The Hybrid Composite materials are tested inBrinell hardness tests machine. In this machine, the resultwas carried out average hardness values (62.6, 62.6, 52,57.7) show in the display. In this best hardness value is 62.6Al 5083 (90%) + TiO2 (5%) + ZrSiO4 (5%)HybridComposite material.
2) SEM Analysis was microstructure showed inthe samples. In these images was microstructure shown Al,Ti, O2, Zr, and SiO4.
3) Wear test analysis worked was using the pin ondisc machine. The samples are done by (30 mm length and10 mm diameter) cut and surface shine before using weartest. Wear weight reduction and friction coefficientdiminished with reducing the force applied during sliding.Also, reducing the diminishing the applied force promptedto decreasing surface depressions and scratches and thesigns of delamination mechanism. The wear resistance ofHybrid Composite created by apparatus pivot rate of 353,637 rpm was observed to be better than those of Al 5083 +TiO2 + ZrSiO4 composite at a connected heap of 10 and 20N. It ascribed to the steady, which averted metal to metalcontact and lessened the wear of the composite.

Abstract: In today’s modern world, many activities whichare being done by human beings are automated to meet
the present competitiveness. In the process there is not
only the exploitation of natural resources but also
pollution of the environment ie air, water and land to a
large extent. This paper deals with the air pollution and
how the issues related can be addressed scientifically.
The exhaust gases from the engines is the prime concern
for the air pollutants.Oxides of nitrogen (NOx), sulphur
dioxide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and a complex
mixture of unburned hydrocarbons and black soot are
emitted from the tail pipes of the automotive engines
which pollutes the environment. This work is mainly to
reduce NOx pollutant from the automotive engine as the
NOx has a direct impact on irritation of eyes and also a
source for acid rain apart from depletion of plant
productivity. Catalytic converters and particulate filters
are mostly used as after treatment for CI engines to
control the limits of the pollutants from the tail pipes, but
the real ingenuity lies in achieving the same effect through
in - cylinder combustion . Optimization of the critical
factors like Nozzle tip protrusion (NTP), Static injection
timing (SIT), Bumping clearance (BC) and Swirl number
are the most important factors for achieving the optimum
combustion in engine design thus resulting in the release
of minimum level of harmful pollutants. L9(34)
Orthogonal array (OA) table is used for designing the
experiments for study of interactive models between
factors and their levels . This inference isstatistically
analyzed to decide on the best combination of factors and
their levels in achieving the lesser pollutant of nitric
oxides. It is concluded from the results that the reduction
of NOx by 22% apart from reducing the engine to engine
variation from 70% to 23% can be achieved without
increasing in the cost of manufacturing.
Key words: DOE, factors, OA table, emission, NOx, SwirlNumber, Static Injection timing (SIT), piston to head clearance(BC), Nozzle tip protrusion (NTP), Compression ratio(CR),Specific fuel consumption (sfc)
I.INTRODUCTION
Today, the use of diesel is inevitable as it is animportant fossil fuel for all types of transport vehicleslike three wheelers, four wheeler light commercialvehicles, ships, cranes, trains to submarines , bulldozersand stationary power generators etc. Diesel is extractedfrom the crude oil which contains carbon chainsbetween 8 to 21 carbon atoms per molecule. Thecalorific value of the diesel is 44800 KJ/Kg. In view oflower operating cost, less evaporation loss and the freeavailability of diesel, the demand for diesel engines iscontinuously increasing .The diesel technology alsoensures smoother operation of diesel engines on parwith gasoline engines. This research is more on how tominimize the harmful exhaust gas pollutants from thediesel engines namely Carbon Monoxide (CO), Oxidesof Nitrogen (NOx), smoke , particulates and unburntHydrocarbons (HC) (2]. Since, the peak combustiontemperature of the CI is higher than SI engines,controlling of NOx , smoke and soot are the realchallenges to the engine designers around the world.

Smog formation in the environment is the biggestproblem in many countries which are primarily due tothe exhausts from both SI and CI engines. Smog, is oneform of air pollution causing poor visibility duringwinter seasons due to the photochemical reactions whichoccurs when sunlight falls on both hydrocarbonsand nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere.
In India, New Delhi is one of the states badly
affected during winter seasons .The Act of
banning diesel vehicles inside the city is one of
the interim solutions to moderate the issue of
smog which causes poor visibility even till
11AM in the mornings . Hence, the study to
reduce NOxis important as the subject engine
is the prime mover for three wheeler
applications.
Several research is going on in-cylinder
combustion to achieve the stringent BSVI
norms as the cost of after treatment devices for
single cylinder engines is not commercially cost
effective .With the invent of CRDI together
with ECU & EMS concepts, the problem as
been substantially brought under control. But
the cost of EMS is not economical for single
cylinder engines. Hence, it requires trade of
parameter settings scientifically to achieve
better results in lowering the rate of harmful
pollutants from the exhausts directly.Matching
the fuel injection, geometry of the combustion
chamber and gas flows are the main critical
design improvements for gaining a better
combustionat alesser peak combustion
temperature. Transient rise in temperature ie
peak temperature above 650 degree centigrade
breaks the inert nitrogen into unstable atoms.
These unstable atoms try to react with oxygen
present in the compressed air and form oxides
of nitrogen which is a harmful pollutant. Swirl,
turbulence and squish arethe general
characteristics of cylinder air motion in diesel
engine, which has a major role on combustion
and air fuel-mixing. Design of intake port plays a
vital role in producingswirling motion of the
intake air [4]. To achieve a higher swirl
designing aof good intake port, helps in
improving the combustion of engines. Carbon
Monoxide (CO) as a pollutant affects the
human health and causes dizziness, lethargy and
headaches. Carbon Monoxide forms when an
incomplete combustion takes place and it gets
reduced when the temperature of combustion is
higher in the cylinder.
II.LITERATURE REVIEW
Y Shi et al (2008) have optimized the engine combustion
chamber spray targeting, designs and swirl ratio at high
load and, low load operated for a heavy duty diesel
engine to get low emission. He said combustion mixture
gets affected by poor machining of piston geometry and
leads to increases in pollution. In his study He compared
optimal results of high load and low load cases and found
that matching of the piston geometry and different
injection strategies with the spray flume are required for
various operating conditions. He concluded by finding
that an optimal combinations of swirl ration, bowl
geometry and spray targeting which continuously reduces
the formation of toxic emissions and promotes better the
fuel consumption. G. Amba Prasad Rao et al (2011) had
conducted an experimental study on 510 cc automotive
type naturally aspirated Dr diesel engine. He had
designed a simple mechanically operated variable timing
fuel injection cam (VIC). Further modifications are done
on gear train and fuel injection cam to suit for the present
engine configuration. He concluded by the experimental
results achieved with variable testing rpm at chassis
dynamometer for performance and emission. There is a
significant reduction in smoke and NOxemission are
attained. Combined effect of 7% EGR with VIC could
reduce HC+NOx about 37%,90% for PM emission and
CO by 88% respectively. Bhakti S. Galande et al (2015)
conducted both numerical and theoretical analysis on
spray bowl interaction. In order to increases the engine
performance and reduction in emission it needs to alter
several engine parameters which affects the fuel spray
behavior inside the combustion chamber like nozzle
configuration, injection and ambient pressure, cross flow
velocity and ambient air density. Vinod et al (2012) had
conducted a simulation studies on nozzle characteristics
and piston bowl geometry. He optimized by using Design
of experiment (DOE) with int1uence of various factors
like hydraulic flow rate, cone angle, number of holes and
their combination with selected piston bowl geometry.
Vincent H. Wilson et al (2010) had conducted an
experimental analysis on single cylinder 5.2 KW diesel

engine to optimize the control parameters of engine with
respect to fuel emissions and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx)
through Taguchi method. He optimized five parameters
such as valve opening pressure, static injection timing,
clearance volume, load torque and nozzle hole diameter
were varied at for levels and results are recorded for fuel
economy and NOx pollutant
III. MATERIALS AND METHODS
Static injection timing is the process of setting
the angle for start of fuel injection into the combustion
chamber in relation to the crank angle . Static injection
timing is an angular setting with regard to TDC. The
cam position of the FIP is adjusted in such a way that the
fuel from the delivery valve is just stopped at the SIT.
This is also known as spill cut setting. The injection
timing can be advanced by adding more number of e
shims under the seat of the fuel pump mounting flange
and the timing can be retarded by removing the shims. In
this configuration pilot or pre-injection is not possible
since the system is basically mechanical. Hence setting
static injection timing isimportant and taken as one of
the influencing factors in our study of combustion
optimization to lower the smoke and NOx pollutants.
Nozzle tip protrusion ( NTP) is yet another important
factor deciding the combustion efficiency. In this paper ,
combustion efficiency refers to the minimum level of
pollutants emitted out of the tail pipe . This decides the
orientation of diesel spray trajectory with respect to the
moving piston which is an important parameter for
effective homogeneity of the air – fuel mixture.The
sectional view of NTP is depicted in Figure -1
Figure-1 Sectional View of the Nozzle tip protrusion layout
Bumping clearanceother wise called as dead volume plays amajor role in the NOx level in the exhaust gas. The bumpingclearance decides the CR of the engine and fine tuning of thebumping clearance is essential to achieve the best combustion
efficiency. Since the bumping clearance is measured in termsof linear distance between thee cylinder head face and thepiston when the piston is at TDC. The shim is added toachieve the required dimensional specification for bumpingclearance.. Here the study is to find out the influenceof thetolerance on the basic dimensions given in the drawing forsetting the bumping clearance.
Swirl rpm method is the indirect inspection techniquefollowed in the manufacturing plant is to confirm whether theswirl number is within the design specification before fittingthe cylinder head onto the cylinder barrel. The pictorial viewof the set -up is depicted in Figure -2. The swirl number isan important indicator for the quality of the intake port of thecylinder head, which is mandatory for all the naturallyaspirated diesel engines . This qualification test of thecylinder head assures better performance of the enginespecific to sfc and power during the final engine testing. Thisdesign parameter has a significant influence on achievinghomogeneity of the air – fuel mixture by swirl motion of theair inside the bore. Higher the swirl rpm infers that the swirlno. of the air intake port has higher swirl numbers. Thismeans that the swirl rpm is directly proportional to the swirlnumber. The study is to narrow down the swirl rpm limits forachieving good combustion as well as better repeatability ofthe combustion between engines.

V.RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Graph -1 Out put of NTP vs S/N
Graph- 1 indicates that the lower value ( L1) of the factor A ( NTP) has shown a better result. Theinfluence between L1 and L2 is less compared to the influence of L3. Hence, L1 is considered to be theoptimum value for the Factor –A. This may be due to achieving better mixing of atomized fuel.
Graph -2 Out put of SIT Vs S/N
The inference out of Graph -2 is that , L3 is found to be the better option for Factor –B. Thiscomplements the Factor A for better outcome of combustion by giving micro seconds time for better mixing.

ABSTRACT: Leaves scattered on the parks, passages, and otherplaces have a detrimental effect on the beauty of the environment,and decrease photosynthesis, hence, the efficiency of plants. Thismakes using leaves collectors in parks, and organizations with agreen space useful. Due to the fact that leaves take up a highvolume, their transportation is difficult. Using the open-close typedoor introduced in this paper which was equipped with a doorhandle system, increases efficiency, and at the same timedecreases the costs of green space, and their workforce cost.Focusing on overcoming the mentioned difficulties, this studywas carried out in order to design and produce a waste dryleaves collector vehicle with rotational collecting system. Variousdesigns were studied and based on their advantages anddisadvantages, the best design was selected.Generally morenumber of labours are required to collect the waste dry leaf , thewastages in an organization and also to clean the road. Mainly thisproject is done to reduce the number of labours and their workingeffort. This vehicle is used to collect the dry leaf. The mainadvantage of this project is it ischeapin cost and user friendliness.It is run by using battery so it is pollution free.I.INTRODUCTIONNow-a-days people are living in a busy life. So their workingtime will be more and irregular. In this situation people alwaysfind a way to save their time for relaxation. So cleaning a roomor particular area will be considering as a boring and tediousjob. So far, various bulky cleaning devices are used for cleaningdomestic and industrial waste. In order to avoid this boring task,an autonomous robot was proposed for cleaning purpose [1].In order to avoid this cost effective problem, we are proposingan autonomous robot for cleaning which is very less expensivethan iRobot and Neato. The path planning is a very importantfactor because the efficiency of the cleaning process is mainlydependent on this path planning [2].The S shaped algorithm is used for path planning. Thisalgorithm can reach the entire room fast as compared to otheralgorithm like spiral algorithm, random walk algorithms [3].Here Combination of S-shaped algorithm and wall followalgorithm is used to clean the entire room efficiently [4].

Abstract; Diesel engines are more effective InternalCombustion Engine (IC Engines) comparing withGasoline (petrol) or other fuel burning engines.Normally diesel engines are natural aspirated enginein which combustion takes places when highpressured fuel mixes with the compressed air insidethe cylinder. Power output is achieved in terms ofmechanical by converting it from chemical energy inthe fuel. Diesel engine widely have high thermalefficiency than any other IC engines due to high ratioof expansion and natural lean burning quality. Thegases contains numerous constituents which comesout from diesel engine harms the human health andits surrounding environment. Incomplete combustionof fuels result in formation of hydrocarbon (HC),Carbon monoxide (CO) and Aldehydes. A substantialpercentage of tailpipe hydrocarbons is also resultantfrom the engine lube oil. Headaches dizziness andlethargy caused due to accumulation of Carbonmonoxide (CO) in the atmosphere where the engineoperates in constrained space such as tunnels orwarehouses, building under construction andunderground mines. Eye irritation and chokingsensations are caused by Aldehydes and Hydrocarbon(HC), also a main contributor for diesel smellcharacteristics. Hydrocarbon also have a destructiveecological effect, being a significant factor of smog.
Nitrogen and oxygen combines together to formOxides of nitrogen (NOx) inside the cylinder chamberunder high optimum pressure and temperature.
Oxides of nitrogen (NOx) contains large quantity ofnitric oxide (NO) and a little portion of nitrogendioxide (NO2). NOx also result in the formation ofsmog. Sulphur dioxide (SO2) is produced from thesulphur existing in diesel fuel. The concentration ofSilicon dioxide (SiO2) in the tailpipe gas depends onthe sulphur present of the fuel. USA and Canada aretwo leading nations introduced low sulphur fuels ofless than 0.05% for most of diesel enginesapplications.Emission of Sulphate Particulate Matter(SPM) are formed due to oxidation of sulphurdioxide to produce sulphur trioxide which is sign ofsulphuric acid. Sulphur dioxides is colorless gasresult in formation of acid rain. Diesel ParticulateMatter (DPM) as defined by conventions andsampling procedures, is a complex combined of solidand liquid material. During combustion the Dieselparticulate matter (DPM) is produced due tocarbonaceous particles presents in the combustionmixture.
Some of emission control methods used to reduce theemissions coming out tailpipe line by detecting theinlet and exhaust circumstances the flow measuredranging from 0 up to 15-30%. Exhaust GasRecirculation (EGR) is less effective at maximumpower and low speeds. Solid carbon soot formation indiesel engine also a problem for low usage ofExhaust Gas Recirculation. The soot turns as anabrasive and disruptions the lubricant. ParticulateTrapping Method (PTM) is more effective tominimize the valve train occurs and greater wear onthe piston rings. Another method used for controllingemissions from Diesel engine is Air Injection Method(AIM). The air (oxygen) is introduced into thecombustion chamber by means of injection to burn

the partial burned hydrocarbons (HC) inside it. Ithelps to minimize the startup emissions. For recentyears, Ceramic Engine Coating (CEC) technologywere used in stationary and movable diesel engine forreduction of visible smoke and carbon sootformation. Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) is reduced up to40% with combined reduction of Carbon monoxide(CO) and unburned Hydrocarbon (HC) in thisCeramic Engine Coating (CEC) technology.
Evaporation Loss Control Device (ELCD) is superiordevice used to capture the vapor’s re-circulating nearthe chamber leads to formation evaporative emissionsat appropriate time. It consists of the purge controlvalve, pressure balance valve and absorbent chamber.Hydrocarbons (HC) vapor is absorbed by absorbentchamber before the enters into atmosphere. Duringengine turned off condition Hydrocarbon emissionsare formed due to fuel tank and carburetor bowlwhich are directly connected to the absorbentchamber. Exhaust back pressure is monitored bypurge valve operation. Under normal condition, levelof Hydrocarbon (HC) emissions is reduced by cuttingoff the fuel supply. All types of evaporative lossesare controlled by Evaporation Loss Control Device(ELCD) with accurate metering control devices.
Nowadays, automotive vehicle emissions arecontrolled by using of automotive CatalyticConverter (CC). Introduction of exhaust catalyticconverter (CC) in many countries to restrict thestringent laws developed to engine emissions ofHydrocarbons (HC), Carbon monoxide (CO) andOxides of Nitrogen (NOx). A catalytic converter (CC)is an emission reduction device which alterscontaminated gases coming out of tailpipe into lesscontaminated or non-toxic gases by a chemicalcatalyzing REDOX (reduction and oxidation)reaction. It can be either used in gasoline, diesel, andother form of lean or rich burning engine. This devicesituated inline of the exhaust system and in betweenexhaust manifold and muffler is used to source arequired chemical reaction to takes place in theexhaust flow. The chemistry behind catalyticconverter is to complete the reduction of Oxides ofnitrogen (NOx) into Nitrogen (N2) and Oxygen (O2),in addition to oxidation of unburned Hydrocarbon(HC) and Carbon monoxide (CO) to form Carbondioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).Elderly catalyst ofcatalytic converter are in the form of Pelletized(catalyst coated with in small balls tightly packed in a
sealed shell), but it creates enormous back pressureand the performance of engine also reduced. In orderto overcome this demerits, Monolith (long channel)catalyst are developed. Monolith catalyst have lessback pressure and high area of contact to increase thefiltration efficiency and compact in size. Catalysts arecoated with rare earth elements like Platinum (Pt),Rhodium (Rh) and Palladium (Pd). Platinum (Pt) andpalladium (Pd) acts as oxidation agent, Platinum (Pt)and Rhodium (Rh) acts as reduction agent.Catalystwash coat is either metal or ceramic. Metal catalystare in the form of foiled condition in order to increasethe efficiency and made up of FeCrAl metals, whileCeramic catalyst are in the form of Honeycombstructure with long channel made up of silica oralumina and composed of magnesium cordierite(2MgO.2Al2O3.5SiO2) it forms irregular surface andrough path which easy for coating of rare earthelements. Honey comb catalyst have less backpressure and larger surface area, providing more sitesfor rare earth elements.
Catalytic converter generally occurs in two types twoway catalytic converter and three way catalyticconverter. Olden days all vehicles supposed to runwith two way catalytic converter to oxidize Carbonmonoxide (CO) into Carbon dioxide (CO2) and toconvert unburned Hydrocarbon (HC) into Carbondioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) respectively. Butmain drawback was ineffective on Oxides of nitrogen(NOx). This type of catalytic converter mainly usedfor Gasoline application.
Carbon monoxide (CO) oxidize to Carbondioxide (CO2)
2 CO + O2→2 CO2
Unburned Hydrocarbons oxidize intoCarbon dioxide (CO2)and water molecule(H2O)
CXH2X + 2 + [(3X+1)/2] O2→ XCO2 + (x+1) H2O(combustion reaction)
The drawback of two way catalytic converter isovercome by developments of three way catalyticconverter (TWCC). From 1981 USA and Canadahave introduced (TWCC) for emission reduction forDiesel and gasoline application. Due to REDOX(reduction and oxidation) reaction taking place inTWCC being more effective in conversion of

Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) is reduced to formNitrogen (N2) and Oxygen (O2).

Abstract:
Engine simulation is one of the powerful toolsto understandand improve the engine performance. Compression ignitionengines are a proven power source for HCV , LCVs , marineand captive power generations in all parts of the world.Research is being continuously carried out to improve thespecific fuel consumption (sfc) of the engine to conserve thefossil fuel and achieve higher emission standards to save ouruniverse. This requires a change in input parameters which ishighly demanding in terms of investment and time. An attemptis made to simulate the engine performance using amathematical model which is expected to lower the cost andtime substantially. In the present work,, a mathematical modelis used to predict the dynamics of combustion and itsparameters like temperature and pressure using diesel as afuel.The study is mainly to understand and simulate using zerodimensional single zone model for the actual combustionmechanism of single cylinder CI engines using MATLAB andSIMULINK so that the variant can be easily fixed to suit theapplication. The methodology follows the simulation oftheentire combustion process in four cycles where thefindingswill constitute the values of pressure and temperature at everypoint of the combustion process. The Idealgas simulation andFuel – Air cycle simulation has been performed in CI enginesusing diesel as fuel. The results are plotted for pressure,volume , temperature and mass fraction versus crank angleusing MATLAB . The inference from the graphs werecompared with the P-V diagram of the Ideal Diesel Cycle.Even though variations between the cycles was observed, itwas obvious that the variations could be due to difference in
the working media.This study can also be used for thesimulation of different types of diesel and biodiesel blends.
I INTRODUCTION:
Diesel is one type of petroleum fuel which is obtained from
crude oil. The fuel was invented bythe German scientist
Rudolf Diesel in the year 1892. It is produced by the process
of fractional distillation and contains a mixture of carbon
chains between 8 to 21 carbon atoms per molecule. In
diesel engines, the fuel is injected into the combustion
chamber with the help of an injector during the end of
the compression stroke. The injector is a devicewhich
converts the liquid fuel into micro droplets under high
pressure to facilitate quick combustion. The compression
ration of the diesel engine is normally between 14:1 to
19:1. This helps to raise the pressure and the temperature
of the atmospheric air during the compression stroke so that
the atomized fuel gets ignited on its own ( combustion). The
thermal energy during the combustion is converted into
mechanical energy by the displacement of the piston. The

Table -1 Properties of Diesel
Working Principle of CI engine
During the induction cycle ( ref. Figure -1) , the
atmospheric air is sucked into the combustion
chamber . The filled air is compressed to high
pressure and temperature at the end of the
compression stroke. Before the end ofthe
compression stroke,fuel is injected into the
combustion chamber through the injector which is
a part of the fuel-injection system. The atomized
fuel inside the chamber gets mixed rapidly ( ie
swirl No. > 2.6) with the compressed air to form a
homogenised mixture of air and micro droplets of
diesel. This phenomena facilitates auto- ignition
of the air-fuel mixture since the air temperature
and pressure are above the fuel ignitionpoint.The
sudden increase in cylinder pressure due to
combustion displaces the piston fromtdc to bdc.

Phases of combustion
Understanding of the phases of combustion is necessary
for effective mathematical modelling. The figure -2 depicts
the four stages of combustion phase as follows.
Stage -1 Ignition delayphase : In this stage the fuel is
injected directly into the combustion chamber before the
tdc of the compression stroke. Thefuel is discharged in the
form of micro droplets at a high velocity
Stage -2 Premixed combustion phase: The atomized fuel
in the form of micro droplets gets quickly mixed with
the compressed air. How ever in this phase no self ignition
does not takes place.
Stage -3. Controlled combustion phase: Theactual burning
rate is controlled by the strength of the air – fuel ratio and its
state of homogeneity.The rate of burning is governed
during this stage.
Stage-4.Late combustion phase: Heat release will occur at a
lower rate during the expansion stroke due to any
unburned fuel and soot.

Numerical simulation:
Simulation is the process of modelling a real time physical
system and conducting experiments with it, for the purpose
of understanding the relationship between the variables
within the system.It is a process of formulating a model of
physical system representing actual processes and analysing
the same. Usually the model is a mathematical one
representingthe real time combustion system through a set
of algebraic, differential or integral equations and the
analysis is made using a computer. Simulations using
acomplex mathematical modelfor any natural systems and
engineering problems can be used to study and understand
the physics behind the process thus promoting the avenue
for analytical solutions and innovative technologies with
the help of computers.The processing timeruns for hours
or days which depends on how complex the program is
and the configuration of the computer used for this purpose.
Hence, this method serves as a very powerful tool to study
systematically the unique behaviour of eachvariable and
their effect on optimisation of the engine performance at a
low cost and less time
II REVIEWOF LITERATURE:
Many researchers have conducted experiments in the area of
simulation of compression ignition engine. Few of them
have been discussed below

mathematical model to check and analyze the performance
characteristics regarding the compression ignition engine.

analysis, fuel- air ratio are checked using the model. Results
of the experimentation and simulation were compared.
M P Sudeshkumar et alP] (2011) depicts the
thermodynamic model and heat transfer model using a two
zone numerical simulation that helps to simulate and
predict the physics behind the combustion using diesel as a
fuel in CI engines. To obtain cylinder pressure and the
corresponding temperature, first law of thermodynamics and
combustion equations were used. An experimentation setup
is done in such a way that the results which is obtained is
compared with the output of the simulation. Results were
almost same in both experimentation and simulation.

compression engines. Parameters measured are in- cylinder
pressure and heat release. Modelling of diesel peak is also
carried out. The experimentation and numerical simulation
results are statistically analyzed with respect to cylinder
pressure and heat release which is found to be comparable..

diesel cycle simulations. The ultimate results was calculated
and certain parameters were closer to the actual results and
some were almost similar to both the experimentation and
simulation results.
MarcinSlezak et al. [5) (2007) Various assumptions are
made for the development of thermodynamic and fluid
models. Thermodynamic, chemical kinetics model were
developed byMarcin et alfor analysing and simulating the
combustion process in compression ignition engine to
predict the engine parameters. The engine used wasa four
stroke single cylinder engine. Both the experimentation and
the simulated results were compared.
AS Negi et at.[6) (2016) describes the development of a
mathematical model using the MATLAB/Simulink for the
analysing the combustion variables using pISoline as a fuel.
The process of development of themodel is same as that of
a compression ignition engine. All the parameters are
measured with respect to the rank angle. Parameters like the
cylinder pressure, mass fraction burned, heat release . The
performance characteristics are also measured alongwith
combustion parameters and the results of both
experimentation and simulation arecompared.

various parameters using heat transfer model, heat release
model, intake and exhaust model and combustion model.
The numerical simulations are carried out and the results are
compared with the experimentation.
M Tarawnehet af.l8) (2010) depicts the designing of a
thermodynamic model and also the parameters which affects
the thermo - physical parameters of a Stirling engine. The
analysing is done only on the compression and expansion
process. The recess is carried to measure the parameters like
pressure, temperature , volume and heat transfer during the
expansion and compression stroke. Simulations are done at
regular intervals ofthe crank angle. A stable behaviour of
the simulations are observed which tells about the suitability
about the engine performance and energy conversion. The
results of the numerical simulation are analyzed for the
engine performance under various operating conditions.
K Vijayraj, et al.[9] (2014) has analyzed the in- cylinder
pressure, temperature, heat release, heat transfer, ignition
delay and combustion duration influencing the combustion
process. The simulation model is developed for CI engine
fuelled with both diesel and biodiesel. The factors affecting
the engine performance are observed using both the fuels. It
has been found that the biodiesel has less ignition delay
compared to diesel and also the rate of heat release for
combustion diffusion is good for biodiesel compared to
diesel. Two zone model of combustion and also the
thermodynamic modelling is used for the entire process.
C D Rakopoulus, et al.lIO] (1998) shows the transient
analysis of a indirect injection of a naturally aspirated CI
engine A single zone thermodynamic model is developed
which is used for simulating basic engine operations.
Dynamic models were also developed for studying the
energy conservation due to crankshaft and also inertia
forces and fuel pump characteristics. Analytical simulations
were developed for better understanding of thecombustion
process, mechanical friction and governing process. The
outputs of the models are compared with the experimental
values. The results of both simulation and the experimental
results are compared so as to find the exact result.
Y H Zweiri, et al.l1l] (2001) has developed a non -linear
model for analyzing the dynamics of the single cylinder
compression ignition engine. It also includes the engine
thermodynamic model. Crank angle is used as a domain.
The parameters predicted with crank angle as a function are
ignition timing, engine rpm, fuel and air supply and also the

fuel burning rate. Experimental analysis for in cylinder
pressure and engine speed using transient operating
conditions are also studied. Thus, after experimentation and
simulation both the results are compared.
SudeepRamachandranllf (2009) depicts a thermodynamic
model of a SI engine. The model development is similar to
that of compression ignition engine. Two zone model is
used to study the heat release, energy loss and heat release
rate . All the calculated data are used with the
thermodynamic model which is developed in relation with
crank angle.
R Sindhu, et al.[13] (2014) depicts the computational study
of thermodynamic modelling of CI engine using the
Wiebe's Heat transfer model. MS Excel office software is

.Results shows that early injection timing leads to high level
of pressure and temperature.

also been made with experimentation. Analysis of different
modelling is carried out with mathematical input parameters
and the results are compared with the experimentation
results.
S Patil [15] (2013) shows the procedure for the modelling of
the CI engine for diesel and biodiesel as a fuel for
predicting the engine performance. Wiebe's model is used
for calculating the heat release rate. The convective heat
release and diffusive part of combustion is considered in the
model. Results of the experiment are found close to the
results of the simulation with regard to the performance of
the engine, combustion efficiency and pollutants.
III METHODOLOGY
The detailed assumptions that are considered in
formulating our numerical approach for four stroke CI
engine is as follows.
(1) Suction
(2) Compression
(3) Combustion
(4) Expansion
(5) Exhaust.
The above five processes are completed in every two
rotationof the crank shaft of the engine.
Step1: The engine is assumed to work with air as the
working medium in an ideal air standard diesel cycle. This
is known as Ideal cycle simulation. Hereboth heat addition
and rejection takes place by means of heat transfer process
at a constant pressure and volume.
Step2 : Herethe ideal cycle is modified by considering the
adiabatic flame temperature for combustion analysis. In this
analysis,instead of air as working medium, themixture of
fuel and air is considered. This part of the simulation is
known as fuel air cycle combustion wherein the
combustion is assumed to take place at a constant pressure
and temperature.
Step3: In this step, the adiabatic flame temperature is
changed by assuming that the combustion is progressive.
This means that the heat release is not instantaneous but
spreads over a period of time.A zero dimensional single
zone model is used for heat release analysis for progressive
combustion.
Step4: In this final step using all the simplified
assumptions, the engine heat transfer is calculated. Gas
exchange processes are introduced in order to analyse the
engine intake and exhaust system.

The above steps helps to performand calculate the values of
volume, pressure and temperature at different points in the
cycle. Modelling is a process which means developing and
using appropriate assumptions and equations that permit
the analysis of the critical features related to the process.
Modelling of enginecombustion processes is done to
develop a basic understanding of the influencing physical
parameters in the conversion of chemical energyusing
complex equations and the computer. Modelling activities
can make major contributions to the development of engine
technology at different levels.The various engine
combustion models used till date by the various research
scholars are as follows:
1. Zero dimensional models
2. Quasi-dimensional models
3.Multi-dimensional models
IV SIMULATION PROCESS IN CI ENGINE
Firstly, the variables used are specified and theprogram is
run to simulate the volume values, which is required for
running the ideal diesel cycle. Coding is used for
programming in MATLAB software.
The volume is calculated for every crank angle up to
720º.the pressure and temperature being calculatedin
relation to the crank angle. For simulating the ideal cycle,
the process of iterations is applied at every point and the
volume is calculated by formula
Figure -3.Engine geometry
The basic geometry of theengine is shown in the figure -3.
It is described in terms of cylinder, length of the stroke,
length of the connecting rod, compression ratio,

With ϴ,denoting the crank angle displacement of the crank

V(ϴ)=Vdisp[ ] -( ( ) + 2( ) − 2( )
.............. Eq. No.5
Where the variables are volume, crank angle, displacement
volume, compression ratio, length of connecting rod and
stroke length. Displacement volume is an important measure
of engine design as it is directly related to the theoretical
work output inan ideal diesel cycle. Through the simulation
the volume is measured from 1 degree crank angle to 720
degree crank angle..
MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF IDEAL DIESEL
CYCLE
The main idea of CI engine simulation using ideal diesel
cycle( ref. Figure - 4) is to enable us to analyse the effect of
the various variables on engine performance .The results of
pressure, temperature from ideal cycle simulation differs
from the actual engine. Therefore, in our consideration of
the simulation of an ideal cycle will be primarily on the
qualitative aspects. In this cycle the working fluid does not
follow the thermodynamic cycle in the engine even though
the engine operates in mechanical cycle, internal
combustion engine operates on the open cycle. Hence, they
are called as diesel cycle engines and are commonly used in
automobiles. Compared to SI engines, CI engines are more
efficient due to higher CR and constant pressure heat
addition. In order to analyse compression ignition engine, it
is beneficial to design closed cycles that are approximate to
open cycles. Ideal cycle simulation with air as the medium
is one such approach.
Fig 4.the ideal diesel cycle p-v diagram
In Ideal cycle simulation firstly the set of temperature
values are to be found. Since the volumeis constant, the
volume data which is calculated is to be used for
computing the temperature. Thefirst pressure is to be taken
as constant since it is the atmospheric pressure. Remaining
pressure values is found out by using the formula
(P1V1)٧=(P2V2)٧ ………………………………. Eq. No.6
Where, PI = Atmospheric pressure, VI = Volume at first
crank angle, P2 = Pressure to be, find out at second crank
angle, V2 = Volume at second crank angle
Te above equation is to be used to find the first set of
pressure values. Similarly the remaining set of values of
pressure up to 720º of crank angles are calculated.
P1V(ϴ)٧= P2V(ϴ+2)٧ ……………… ...Eq. No.7
P2V(ϴ+1)٧= P3V(ϴ+2)٧ ………………… Eq. No.8
Like this the iterations are carried out. Generalised equation
is
P(ϴ)= P(ϴ+1) ............................................. ..Eq. No.9
Now, the temperature is computed by applying the
Perfect Gas Law.

PV=mR T ........................................................Eq. No.10
So, the temperature is found out by rearranging the equation
T= ...............................................................Eq. No.11
Where, T = Gas temperature
P = Gas Pressure
V = Volume of the gas
m = Massof the gas
R = Universal Gas Constant (8.314)
The value of the temperature at each degree of crank angle
is found out using the below referred equation no.12.
T(ϴ)=( ) ( )
.............................................. Eq. No.12
The volume of the Ideal Cycle process is generated through
simulation .The mathematical model is simulated by using
the program and the resultant graphs are plotted.
MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF FUEL- AIR CYCLE:
In the Fuel-Air cycle fuel air mixture is considered as the
working medium and it also includes the intake process with
some simplified assumptions. The basic advantage of this
analysis is that the air cycle studies the effect of CR where
as the fuel-air cycle studies the effect of compression ratio
as well as the variation of parameters like temperature and
pressure in relation with the crank angle. It is also noticed
that the Pressure - Volume graph is different from that of
Ideal Cycle since the fuel is introduced in this Cycle. The
fuel - air cycle process simulation is designed for two
revolution of the crank shaft ie720°. For simulation the
pressure, volume and temperature data are taken from the
ideal cycle and the fuel properties of the fuel (Diesel) and
the calorific value are also considered. The calorific value
is an indicator of the heat energy produced during the
combustion of specified quantity injected. It is assumed that
adiabatic flame temperature of the fuel is consideredas the
peak temperature value which is attained during the
combustion process. For the Diesel fuel the adiabatic flame
temperature value is 2473.67 Kelvin.
The simulation of results to this mathematical model is
calculated by obtaining data from ideal cycle simulations
and also by using the volume data for every crank angle
throughout the process.
MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF PROGRESSIVE
CYCLE SIMULATION:
The fuel - air cycle combustion analysis needs a suitable
corrections to achieve a closer approximation for better
understanding of the behavior of the actual engine since the
combustion is not instantaneous. The injection starts well
before TDC and the start of combustion depends on
various factors like the quantity of fuel injected, delay
period, the engine speed, the injector location, combustion
chamber size and geometry. The thermodynamics suggests
that combustion process proceeds with a finite rate. To
simulate the progressive cycle, the values of volume of
cylinder (V) in relation to the crank angle (ϴ) is obtained
from the Ideal cycle simulation. Wiebe Heat Release model
is also considered for computing the mass fraction burned.
Mt=ma+mf …………………………..Eq. No.13
me = mi + (mt * Ψ (ϴi)) ……………… Eq. No.14
where,
mt = total mass of air and fuel,
rna = mass of air,
mf = mass of fuel, '

Ψ = mass fraction burnt rate. The mass fraction burnt is
calculated as
Ψ(ϴ)=1-exp(-6.908[ Ϫ ](b+1)) .................. Eq. No.15
The mass of the air is calculated by
Ma=∗∗ ................................. Eq. No.16
The mass of the air is calculated by
Where, Pin = Pressure at time of combustion, Vin =

Now, the temperature value is calculated in order to find the
pressure

Now,

Where, Q = Heat Release, me = rate of heat at the end of
combustion, mi = mass of the fuel at start of the combustion,
ϴ = crank angle at any instant, 6.908 is a value of Wiebe's
heat release model similar to a constant value, Cv = calorific
Value. With these values the pressure is calculated
Pnew(ϴ)=∗ ∗ ( )( ) .................................. Eq. No.20
V RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:
1.IDEAL GAS CYCLE RESULTS
To find out the results of the ideal gas cycle, certain
assumptions are taken into consideration. These are as
follows
1.Themass of the air throughout the entire cycle is constant
2. The working medium is assumed to be an ideal gas
3.There is no intake and exhaust process in this simulation
4.The combustion process is replaced by a heat addition
process from an external sourceat
constant pressure.
5. The cycle is completed by heat rejection to the
atmosphere at a constant volume
6. All processes are internally reversible and there is no
heat dissipation to the
surroundings
7. No frictional loss is considered
8. The working medium has a constant specific heat.
(i)Variation of volume in relation to the crank angle
Graph - 1.Output of volume with respect to crank angle
Graph -1 shows the change involume in relation to the
crank angle and exhibits cosine function . The
processstarts from Top Dead Centre (TDC) where the
1st INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES IN ENGINEERING, MANAGEMENT AND SCIENCES, 16th& 17th NOVEMBER 2017
122 ISBN 978-93-86770-41-7
volume under this condition is called clearance volume and
the volume increases gradually until it reaches the Bottom
Dead Centre (BDC). This cycle is repeated twice in a single
operation.
(ii)Pressure in terms of crank angle:
Graph -2 Output of Pressure in terms of crank angle
Graph -2 depicts the variation in pressure with respect to
crank angle. This graph clearly showsthat the pressure is
constant up to 180 degrees of crank angle which refers to
the suction process that takes place at a constant pressure.
From 181 degree to 360 degree of the crank angle(
compression stroke) there is gradual rise in the pressure
inside the combustion chamber and reaches 38.6 bar when
the piston reaches the TDC. From 361 to 450 degrees of
crank angle the pressure is constant which shows the heat
addition process. From 451 degree to 540degree , the
pressure reduces gradually indicating the expansion process
till the piston reaches the BDC. From 541 degree there is a
sudden drop in pressure to atmosphere pressure showing
the heat rejection at the constant volume and the graph is
linear till 720 degrees of crank angle which shows the
exhaust process.
(iii)Temperature with respect to crank angle
Graph -3 Output of the temperature with respect to crank
angle
The Graph -3 depicts the temperature variation with
respect to crank angle. The temperature is constant during
the suction stroke and beyond till 250° of crank angle. The
rise in temperature is noticed till the end of the compression
stroke and reaches a peak value during the heat addition
process. During the expansion stroke the temperature is
constant for around 450º to 560° and during the heat release
process it drops down to the value which is attained during
the suction stroke and the temperature remains the same till
the exhaust stroke.
(iv)Ideal diesel cycle

123 ISBN 978-93-86770-41-7
Graph - 4.Ideal diesel cycle
Graph - 4 shows the P - V diagram of Ideal Diesel cycle.
The pressure increases during the compression stroke when
the piston moves from BDC to TDC. It goes up to 1.7 bar.
Then the pressure is almost constant. Heat addition is
started when the piston is at the TDC. Then the expansion
process occurs as piston moves from TDC to BDC. Finally,
the heat is rejected and the volume is constant when the
piston is at BDC.
2.FUEL - AIR CYCLE:
The fuel - air cycle is simulated with the following
assumptions.
1. No change in the fuel or air chemical composition before
combustion.
2. The process is frictionless and adiabatic, Charge is in
chemical equilibrium after
combustion.
3. Combustion process is instantaneous.
4.Fuel is completely vaporized and perfectly mixed with the
air (for SI only).
(i)Pressure with respect to crank angle
Grapg -5.Output ofthePressure with respect to crank angle
This Graph -5 shows the pressure from the suction stroke to
the exhaust stroke. The graph shows that the pressure is
constant upto 380 degrees of the crank angle, which is part
of suction stroke . Then there is a rise in the pressure till
the piston reaches the TDC. This depicts the compression
process. After that, the pressure decreases as the fuel is
introduced in the combustion chamber and the combustion
process takes place, till the piston reaches the BDC, during
the combustion process. This drop in pressure is due the
increase in cylinder volume due to the movement of the
piston from TDC to BDC,. There is a point at which the
pressure remains at around 4 - 5 bars before the exhaust
stroke. This cycle is almost similar to the ideal air cycle (
ref. Graph No.2)(ii)Temperature with respect to crank
angle
Graph -6 Output of the Temperature with respect to crank
angle
Graph – 6 shows that the peak temperature is attained at
around 450ºof crank angle. This temperature value is called
as Adiabatic Flame Temperature. It is the maximum
1st INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES IN ENGINEERING, MANAGEMENT AND SCIENCES, 16th& 17th NOVEMBER 2017
124 ISBN 978-93-86770-41-7
temperature which is attained during the combustion process
of the fuel- air cycle. There is a drop between 451° to
around 500º of crank angle. Then the temperature value
remains constant up to the end of the combustion stroke,
that is the exhaust stroke. This totally differs from the ideal
gas cycle since the working medium is different .
(iii)Fuel -air cycle
Graph -7 .Output of Fuel -air cycle ( p-v diagram)
The graph -7 depicts the p-v diagram of the Fuel – air
cycle.. The volume remains constant during the compression
stroke as the piston moves from BDC to TDC. When the
heat is added the pressure risesupto 13bar and then there is a
gradual fall in pressure during the combustion process.
There is a small rise in pressure followed by lowering of
pressure . During heat release the pressure reduces even
more. Throughout the process the volume does not change.
CONCLUSION:
The Ideal gasCycle Simulation and Fuel - Air Cycle
Simulation was done using diesel as fuel in compression
ignition engines using MA TLAB/ SIMULINK
software.The pressure, temperature and the p-v graphs were
plotted and the likely reasons for the variations between
these simulations could be due to the use of different
working media while framing the mathematical model
especially for temperature as a parameter,
FUTURE WORK :.
It is suggested to interface the MPC controller using
MATLAB/ SIMULINK software for predicting the
temperature and pressure parameters so that one can clearly
pin point the reasons for the variations between Ideal air
simulation and Fuel – air simulation.
