Performance and Emission Characteristics of Hongebiodiesel Fueled CI Engine by using Taguchi Method

The process parameters optimization is the essential step in Taguchi approach, which utilizes orthogonal array for maximizing the effect of controllable parameters and for minimizing the effect of uncontrollable process parameters. This study presents optimal parameters that influences on the BP, BSFC, CO, HC, NOx using Taguchi method. The 3 level 4 factor design has been considered they are Torque, Injection pressure, Timing, Fuel. The L9 orthogonal array is employed and signal-noise ratio (S/N ratio). Larger is better type is employed for BP and smaller is better type has been employed for BSFC, CO, HC, NOx and analysis of variance, (ANOVA) are considered for identifying the best optimum conditions.
