Investigation Of Transient Characteristics For Performance Improvement And Health Monitoring For a CI Engine Running Biodiesel

Many researchers have reported that biodiesel has comparable performance
and better emission over diesel fuel during steady state process. However,
the performance and emission of biodiesel under transient conditions, for
example engine start, warm up, acceleration and deceleration are less
reported. It is there fore very important to understand the performance and
emission of biodiesel under the transient conditions. In addition, the
performance and emission variation parameters under transient condition can
be used to develop a fault diagnostic model for transient system.
