Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

  • Study on the interplay of diesel engine vibrations with heat release rate for butanol blended diesel composition   Order a copy of this article
    by Ankit Wadikhaye, P. Baskar 
    Abstract: Nowadays people expect diesel powered vehicle provide as much comfort as gasoline vehicle. However, diesel engines produce comparatively more vibration than a conventional gasoline fueled engine due to higher operating peak pressure and uncontrolled combustion. For this reason, finding a suitable alternative fuel for diesel engines is necessary. This paper delves into the study of heat release rate (HRR) and its comparison with the vibrations associated to it for 10% butanol blended diesel fuel (B10) and conventional unmixed diesel fuel to comprehend the performance of B10 fuel concerning combustion dynamics and vibration attributes. These characteristics are determined at different operating conditions of the test engine. The research methodology integrates experimental data collection from diesel engine running on different load and injection pressure conditions for the two fuels. The analysis involves assessing the interplay of engine vibrations, heat release rate and in cylinder profiles, aiming to find patterns, trends and potential optimisation opportunities. The outcome of this project holds significance for automotive engineers, providing insights into the relationship between fuel composition, engine vibrations and heat release rate. The findings contribute to the ongoing efforts to refine diesel engine technologies and provide comfort to the customers of diesel engine automobiles.
