Abstract:
This paper studies the use of RSM (Response Surface Methodology) to optimize the performance parameters of a 4-stroke spark ignition engine which operates with ethanol blended gasoline as fuel. The main objective was to optimize the engine parameters for minimum Brake Specific fuel Consumption (BSFC). The test were conducted on a Variable Compression Ratio engine test rig with different combinations of Compression Ratios (CR), Blend Ratio (BR) and Load. The experiments were designed with a statistical tool also known as DoE based on Response Surface Methodology (RSM). In Comparison with gasoline, the concentration of HC and CO in exhaust found decreased with ethanol blended gasoline as fuel, but CO2 and NOx in emission were found increased. The engine variable parameters were optimized using desirability approach of RSM. The value of 9.5 for compression ratio, 10% blend for ethanol and 6.5 Kg load were found to be optimal values. BSFC and BTE were found 0.432 Kg/kWhr and 19.45 % respectively at optimum value of the parameters.
