  This paper aims to present the inferences of the experimental studies on the performance, emission and combustion characteristics of Honge oil methyl ester (HOME) as a fuel for a single-cylinder direct injection diesel engine using response surface methodology (RSM) based mathematical modeling which are developed taking 27 set of experimental results. Experiments were carried out to study the effects of compression ratio, injection pressure and injection timing on performance characteristics like brake thermal efficiency (BTE), emissions such as smoke, hydrocarbon (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), nitric oxides (NOx) and combustion characteristics, namely, peak pressure and heat release rate (HRR) in a diesel engine using 3 and 4 hole injectors. The experiments were planned as per full factorial design (FFD) and RSM based quadratic models were developed to estab.. View More»
