Abstract:

The large increase in the number of automobiles has resulted in great demand for petroleum products in recent years. With crude oil reserves estimated to last only for few decades, there has been an active search for alternate fuels. The depletion of crude oil would have a major impact on the transportation sector. The internal combustion (I.C.) engine is a heat engine that converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. In the present study, the mechanical property viz., the wear of the Piston, piston ring, and cylinder liner are investigated. The test duration is considered for 2 hours, 4 hours, and 6 hours run of the engine. The corresponding readings of surface roughness (Ra) values of the Piston, piston ring, and cylinder liner have been recorded using the surface measurement test. The measuring points are considered at the top dead center (T.D.C.), bottom dead center (BDC), and mid of T.D.C. and BDC (MID). The Ra values comparison is made to investigate the surface roughness of the I.C. Engine components considered for the study. The test duration is 2 hours, 4 hours, and 6 hours running of I.C. Engine. Blend of 60% Diesel + 40% Hippe oil has better lubrication properties than Diesel and other blends of biodiesel considered.
