Brake Thermal Efficiency Analysis of Engine fueled Karanja Biodiesel using Taguchi and Validation of Results

Biodiesel is synthesized from oils produced from vegetables and fats of animals which have properties like renewability, biodegradability, and as an efficient fuel. It is easily blended with petro diesel at any proportion. Engine noise-generating due to combustion in engines has a direct effect on engine performance. Some researchers are working on the engine using petro diesel and different blends of biodiesel for performance characteristics over the world. This paper covers the study of input parameters optimization for BTH of the engine. The tests have carried out at different combinations as per the orthogonal array obtained by the Taguchi method. This selection of orthogonal array has based on three parameters along with four levels of all individual parameters. The experimental output BTH values calculated have noted by the computerized engine setup. The results obtained by Minitab software have compared with results obtained by ANN and validated.
