| Popis: | Injection parameters are known to impact most on diesel engine emissions and performance but there is little work in literature regarding the effect of injection parameters on biodiesel engine performance. Studies of the effect of injection timing and pressure on emissions and brake specific consumption has been carried out on a 48 kW, VW Polo, MK3, four-cylinder, four-stroke, indirect injection engine which is naturally aspirated and air cooled. Engine modifications were carried out for each fuel used except petroleum diesel. The input factors for the modification include injection timing only, injection pressure only and their effects on brake specific energy consumption and exhaust emissions particularly carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen. Injection timing was varied at six levels including advance of 7°, 5°, 3°, 0° settings and retardation settings of 3° and 5°. Nozzle injection pressures were varied at 150, 175, 200, 225 and 250 bars. Generally, injection advance led to sign... |
