An experiment carried out the performance evaluation of four stroke double cylinder reciprocating diesel engine.
Diesel has obtained by distillation of crude oil. It is generally mixture of hydrocarbons. The prime advantage for using diesel as
fuel for IC engine as its suitability related to the cetane number, fuel volatility, density, viscosity, cold behaviour and low toxicity.
Diesel engine has more efficient because its calorific value is about 44.55 MJ/KG, which is lower than petrol, since diesel engine
is denser than petrol and contain 15% or more energy by comparison of its volume. By considering factor that the efficiency
which obtained by diesel is about nearly 15 - 25% more than petrol engine. Since diesel engine are widely used in almost all
sectors such as transportation and power generation etc. Hence it is essential to know about working of diesel engine and about
its performance. This paper shall help to get idea about diesel engine working and various parameters related to performance of
diesel
