This study analyzes the influence of ethanol as gasoline blend on a spark ignition engine and a mathematical tool is proposed based on multi attribute decision making approach to select optimal combination of operating parameters of a variable compression ratio multi fuel engine considering objective, subjective and integrated weights of attributes. Test fuels used were ethanol-gasoline blends having ethanol in proportions of 10, 20, 30 and 40 vol %. The compression ratio was varied as 6, 7, 8 and 9. The load was varied as 25, 50, 75 and 100%. A series of 16 experiments were conducted by adopting Taguchi based design of experiments resulting in L16 orthogonal array. The result of proposed method shows that the combination of compression ratio 6, ethanol-gasoline blend 30 vol% at a load of 75% is found to the best choice from among other trails and was validated using graph theory matrix approach
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
