Taguchi‐based optimization of design and fuel parameters of partially premixed charge CI engine fuelled with biodiesel and butanol blends

Abstract

Simultaneous control of NO x and smoke emission of compression ignition engine was the major challenge for the researchers as their formation mechanisms are inversely proportional to each other. In the present study, combustion process was modified as partially premixed charge combustion (PPCC) which supplies a premixed charge of fuel and air through inlet valve in addition to the fuel injected into the cylinder.
