The present study analyzes emissions, by using different blends of diesel and Refined Sunflower oil (RSF) on Kirloskar Direct Injection 4-stroke Diesel engine, single cylinder air-cooled, 4.4 kW, constant speed at 1500 rpm, compression ratio 17.5:1, Methyl Esters of refined sunflower oil (BRS) was transesterified with sodium meth oxide before blending with diesel. The main objective of this study is to measure the NOx, CO, HC, and Exhaust temperature by varying the Injection pressure and the load. The experiments were conducted with various blends of diesel (BRS10, BRS30, and BRS40) at different pressures (180 bar, 210 bar,&240 bar) and at different loads (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%). A 3-hole nozzle was used to inject the fuel. The Emission results were studied using AVL gas analyzer. The results show that there is an increase in CO, marginal increase in NOx and decrease in HC.Keywords

Background/Objectives: This paper is concerned with the analysis of various factors which are involved in assessing the performance of processing houses located in Tiruppur and Karur. Methods/Statistical Analysis: The methodology involved collection of data from 10 industries and from each 11 respondents were considered. Thus 110 data which were collected by using a questionnaire were processed to elicit the impact of various factors on stakeholders. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to find out the overall performance of these industries. Findings: The results show that multiple correlation coefficient obtained is highly significant in that 82% of the variables account for ineffective performance of the industries. Parameters such as TNPCB (Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board), Financial Management, Government Support, Higher TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) Content and failure in assessing the environmental impact account for the major factors impacting the stakeholders performance. Of these, TNPCB (Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board) show a highly significant factor followed by Government Support, Higher TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) Content and failure in assessing the environmental impact. Financial Management has the least impact on stakeholders' business efficiency and its significance is noticed at 5% level. Applications/Improvements: The findings of the study will, doubtless be of use to processing industries located in Tamil Nadu to take appropriate action.Keywords
