Abstract
Diesel is one of the largest contributors to environmental pollution worldwide and will remain so, with a large increase in vehicle population causing ever increasing global emissions. So, it is mandatory to achieve a standard compression ratio of a diesel engine to have optimal performance. In this study, the effect of different compression ratios, injection timing and load on engine performance of diesel engine fuelled with diesel fuel was studied. The optimum compression ratio, injection timing and load were determined by using the design of experiments (DOE). These results for the diesel fuelled variable compression ratio diesel engine will be useful in fixing the optimal range of values for the input variables.
