Abstract

Ever increasing fuel price, the continuous addition of on-road vehicles, fast depleting petroleum resources
and the continuing accumulation of greenhouse gases is the main reasons for the development of alternative fuels. Here
Jatropha oil is used as an alternative fuel along with diesel. The purpose of the experiment is to create a mathematical
model of the SFC using response surface methodology(RSM). Input parameters like compression ratio, Load, different
blend of Diesel-Jatropha oil is used. The table of random readings is created using response surface methodology in an
arithmetical software Mini tab 17. A single cylinder engine is selected for the experiment.
In response surface methodology different blend ratio(D0B100, D50B50, D100B0) up to level 3 is used.
