Abstract

L16 array approach of Taguchi method was used to explain the effects of performance and emission characteristics of a diesel engine with CuO nanoparticle doped with peanut biodiesel under various engine factors. 20% of peanut oil biodiesel blend was taken as constant for analysis. The effects of CuO nanoparticle was analyzed by L16 array of different parameters, such as engine condition of load (25%, 50%, 75% and 100%), CuO nanoparticle (0 ppm, 25 ppm, 50 ppm and 75 ppm), ignition pressure (180 bar, 200 bar, 220 bar and 240 bar) and ignition timings (210bTDC, 230bTDC, 250bTDC and 270bTDC). From results of L16 Taguchi array, best parametric operating conditions were optimized. It was concluded that the addition of CuO nanoparticles exhibits better operating and emission characteristics than without the addition of CuO nanoparticles due to reduced ignition delay with sufficient oxygen supply from CuO nanoparticles.
