Abstract

The present work investigates on the production of the Rice Bran Oil (RBO) biodiesel and investigation of the bio diesel blends of the RBO in engine performance characteristics, combustion analysis and emission characteristics. The cylinder, piston valves and cylinder heads are coated with ceramic material through atomic spray coating technique. The coating provides improved BTE, brake specific fuel consumption and decreased emission. The heat release rate and the emission analysis during the combustion process is also investigated and it is observed that the heat release rate at the initial stage is higher and it reduces during the further process


Keywords: Ceramic coating, Diesel engine performance, RBO, Biodiesel, Heat release rate
