Effect of Ceramic Coating on Performance, Emission and Combustion Characteristics of Safflower Methyl Ester in Diesel Engine
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this work, partially stabilised Zirconium of approximately 0.5 mm was coated by the plasma spraying over the piston crown. The effects of Safflower Methyl Ester (SAME) in the Low Heat Rejection (LHR) engine, along with Retarded Timing (RT), are compared to a conventional CI engine. The results show that the LHR engine's Brake thermal efficiency was more than that of the diesel CI engine. The emission levels of Carbon monoxide and unburnt hydrocarbons are lower on the LHR engine in comparison with the uncoated engine.
