Investigation of Multi-cylinder Diesel Engine Performance and Emission Using Bio-diesel Fuel

This final report is written to compile all the progress and activities conducted since the
initial stage of this final year project. The project; Investigation of multi-cylinder diesel
engine performance and emission using bio-diesel fuel, had been carried out based on
initial plan.
This report would explain the background of the project and understanding to the
significant of continuing the project. It would define the problem statement and what to
be solved bythe end of this project. The identification would be crucial as it would guide
where this project is heading to. The main objective of this project would be in studying
the effects of using bio-diesel to runthenormal diesel engine. Theultimate goal would be
decrease the dependency onthe hydrocarbon fuels and having other alternatives.
The next part of thereport will state the fundamental idea of understanding theproject by
explaining related information in the theory section. Understanding of how the engine
works andthe fuel being used is important in assuring the completion of this project. The
report also explains how this project would be carried out and what is going to be found
as the result. Methodology of how this project will illustrate the basic idea how the
project is going to be conducted.
Some findings of done research were discussed in the report. Understanding the results
will assist student in completing the project. Most of the findings are related to the
understanding of the engine and familiarization to the interested parameters of engine
performance and emission. May the report is beneficial as concluding this final year
project and all assists and guidance are highly appreciated.
