Abstract:

The internal combustion engine is a heat engine that converts chemical energy into mechanical energy, usually made available on a rotating output shaft. The fuel’s chemical energy is first converted to thermal energy using combustion or oxidation with air inside the engine. This thermal energy raises the gases’ temperature and pressure, and the high-pressure gas then expands against the engine’s mechanical mechanisms. The machine’s mechanical linkages convert this expansion to a rotating crankshaft, which is the engine’s output. In turn, the crankshaft is connected to a transmission and power train to transmit the rotating mechanical energy to the desired final Use. For engines, this will often be the propulsion of a vehicle. The wear test reveals the effect of different Biodiesel blends (80%Diesel + 20%Biodiesel) on Tribological Property of I.C. Engine components viz., piston, piston rings, and cylinder liner. From the above discussions, it is evident that a blend of 80% diesel + 20% Hippe oil has better lubrication properties than diesel and other combinations of biodiesels considered.
