Multipurpose optimization of fuel injection parameters for diesel engine using response surface methodology

The hike in fuel prices and rapid depletion of fuel reserves have compelled scientists to focus on energy conservation, environmental protection, engine performance improvement, and cost saving. The prime objective of the study is to compare the empirical results with response surface methodology (R...

description The hike in fuel prices and rapid depletion of fuel reserves have compelled scientists to focus on energy conservation, environmental protection, engine performance improvement, and cost saving. The prime objective of the study is to compare the empirical results with response surface methodology (RSM) optimized results in order to check the accuracy of model designed by RSM. Therefore, the current study examines the effect of fuel injection parameters (nozzle opening pressure and protrusion) on diesel engine performance and exhaust emissions. RSM technique was applied to predict engine performance and exhaust emission parameters along with their optimization. The brake thermal efficiency (BTE) was incremented by 1.23 % for protrusion from 1.5 to 2.5 mm under 240 bar nozzle opening pressure (NOP). BTE was increased by 0.94 and 4.51 % for 1.5 and 2.5 mm protrusion respectively. CO emission was decremented by 4.47 and 11.31 % for 1.5 and 2.5 mm protrusion respectively when the NOP changed from 230 to 240 bar. RSM model optimized input conditions 240 bar pressure, 2.5 mm protrusion, and 1935.67 engine rpm. The engine was again tested on RSM-optimized conditions and the highest absolute percentage error (APE) of 4.42 % was obtained for NOx emission, while the lowest APE of 2.89 % was obtained for BSFC.
