Renewable Pathway and Twin Fueling Approach on Ignition Analysis of a Dual-Fuelled Compression Ignition Engine

In the automobile sector, pistons are anodized on the crown, on ring grooves, and also on skirts to improve its wear resistance and corrosion resistance properties. In this work, we have carried out crown anodizing along with skirt anodizing simultaneously to study the wear resistance of anodized samples. The surfaces are anodized with three different processes such as soft anodizing, hard anodizing, and microarc oxidation (MAO) or well known as plasma arc oxidation (PAO). All the three processes differ in their respective procedures. The hardness value and microstructure of all the samples were tested to find wear resistance values and the effect of coatings on the samples. In wear testing, piston samples are rubbed on cast iron to denote its wear resistance based on weight loss per unit time. Reciprocating wear testing is also carried out on every sample for testing their wear resistance value.

This work involves a detailed study on the transesterification process of waste and non-edible seed oil derived from Capparis spinosa (CSBD) to fuel research diesel engines. The positive claim of employing non-edible seeds shall reduce fossil fuel usage. This work examines the study on CSBD on transesterification and the emission patterns of a 4-stroke research diesel engine. Emission patterns were calculated in various circumstances by changing CSBD percentage (10 and 20% volume) and diesel. Ten and 20% vol of CSBD blended with 90, and 80% of petro-diesel is referred to as D90CSBD10 and D80CSBD20, respectively. Results revealed that the CO, HC, and smoke opacity were lower with a slight increase in NO emissions for all CSBD blends than diesel. Hence, this study concluded that the fuel obtained from Capparis spinosa oil is a  viable alternate to diesel.
