Abstract

A response surface methodology of the experimental investigations for varying substitution and load conditions has been performed on a 4-cylinder (turbocharged and intercooled) 62.5-kW gen-set dual fuel diesel engine. Break thermal efficiency, oxides of nitrogen, unburned hydrocarbon, and carbon monoxide were considered with the response surface model. Response surface models developed were used to relate the parameters of liquid fuel substitution and varying loads with the output parameters. Analysis of variance of the experimental results gave 95% and above in mostly all cases and justifies the models applied with those of the experimental results. Comparisons have been discussed elaborately.
