RESULTS FOR GASOLINE
RESULTS FOR ETHANOL
RESULTS FOR METHANOL
CONTD..
• In this paper, the optimal operating conditions
providing the best engine performance and
exhaust emissions in an SI engine fueled with
gasoline, pure ethanol and methanol are
defined by using Taguchi method and ANOVA
analysis.
• The optimum operating conditions are
searched under three different CR, IT and
engine speeds with three levels.
COCLUSION
• The estimated results obtained from Taguchi’s
test design are compatible with the
confirmation experiments within the 95%
confidence interval. This shows that the design
of an experiment with Taguchi method is
usable to define optimum working conditions
in internal combustion engine tests.
• Moreover, because the number of experiments
with this method decreases about 89%..
CONTD..
• It provides a high time savingThe baseline
engine represents the results of test outputs at
original operating parameters (which is 8.5 of
CR,23 CA of IT, and 2400 rpm of engine
speed) for all fuels.
• According to the general optimization results
obtained from ANOVA, engine speed and CR
values, providing the best engine performance
for gasoline, pure ethanol and methanol are
2400 rpm and 9.0 of CR.
CONTD..
• In addition, while optimal IT for ethanol and
methanol is 20 CA, it is 26 CA in gasoline
CONTD..
• BEP and BTE values with pure gasoline,
ethanol and methanol at optimized engine are
found to be higher than that of gasoline at
baseline engine.
• Also, the highest value of the BTE (about
32.5%) reached with using methanol at
optimized engine. BSFC with the use of pure
ethanol and methanol as compared to gasoline
• increases in general.
CONTD..
• However, with optimized engine, BSFC
decreases on average 15.64% compared to that
baseline engine for all fuel types.
• Exhaust emission levels in the engine are
important in terms of environmental pollution.
The alternative fuels are expected to give good
performance in the internal combustion
engine.
• The greenhouse gases such as BSCO2 and
BSNO are also desired a decreasing.
