have been tried to utilize this heat of flue gases to improve the performance and reduction in emission level. The
researchers experimented on various technologies to recover the waste heat from the internal combustion engines.
The technologies like organic Rankine cycle looked into the potential energy savings and performance of these
technologies [1]. Srinivasa et al. adopted the principle of electro turbo generation and reported the increase in useful
work obtained from 25% to 25.025% in conventional internal combustion engine [2]. Janak Rathavi et al.
experimented on DI diesel Engine modified to operate on a dual mode with and without diesel vapour mixture. They
used heat exchanger- Accumulator mechanism to vaporize the diesel fuel and catalytic cracking. The method
resulted into simultaneous and substantial reduction of Nox [3]. J.Ma et al. used biodiesels prepared from waste
vegetable cooking oil, pongamia, rice brain oil, Pungam methyl esters [4.The biodiesel fuels proved to be good
substitute to diesel fuel but increase in Nox emissions limited its usability in the existing engines. The investigation
on use of CNG-Dual fuel mode in diesel engine showed promising technique for controlling the smoke emissions
from existing Direct injection Diesel engines [5] .The improved results in performance for blended mode with
biodiesel achieved may be due to increased injection pressure. Venkanna et al. studied effect of injection pressure
with blends of 20% pongamiapinnatalinn oil and 80% diesel fuel in DI Diesel engine and reported increased
injection pressure from 20% to 30% [6]. Subramanian et al. have investigated on the injection and spray
characteristics of a diesel engine using blend of diesel with karanja biodiesel (B10 to B20) and reported the dynamic
injection timing advanced for the biodiesel blends resulting in higher NOx emission. They also reported inline
injection pressure increased from 460 bar with base diesel to 480 bar with B20 [7]. It is found that if the cylinder
temperature exceeds 2000 K formation of NOx take place [8]. The experimental investigation on single cylinder
four stroke diesel engine to control the cylinder peak temperature with Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) methods
have been reported beneficial to reduce NOx emission[9,].The extensive research have been taking place to recover
the waste heat from exhaust of diesel engine using heat exchangers to improve the performance and reduce the
emission levels . The specially designed heat exchangers showed potential to recover the waste heat [10]. The
present paper reports results of experimental investigation on single cylinder four stroke diesel engine operating on
constant speed, where improved performance and reduction in smoke level are obtained by incorporation of
specially designed heat exchanger to heat the inlet air.
2. Design and Calculations
2.1 Waste Heat Recovery
In designing the heat exchanger conventional notations are used. Waste heat recovery represents the amount of
waste heat of the exhaust gas absorbed by the inlet air in the heat exchanger. For temperature of hot fluid on leaving
the heat exchanger (Th2 ) we use the heat balance equation. Heat absorbed by air = Heat carried by Exhaust gas

2.2 Effectiveness
Effectiveness is the ability of heat exchanger to transfer heat of hot fluid to the cold fluid. The effectiveness of

rate in the heat exchanger is given by,

The correction factor is need to be multiplied to Log mean Temperature difference (LMTD) for multipass heat
exchanger and it is to be averagely found from correction factor graph . This overall heat transfer coefficient is
calculated considering that air is passed through the number of tubes made of copper and exhaust gases pass
through shell of exchanger which comprises these number of tubes. The (LMTD) is given by

4. Results and Discussion

The Performance characteristics for this kind of test explained in details in following section.

values for inlet air temperature and exhaust gas temperature plotted against the percentage brake power and shown
in fig. 1 and Fig.2 respectively. The suction air temperature was found to be constant i.e. 30 °C for no load to full
load operating conditions. There exhaust gas temperature found to be increasing for increase in the load. The
exhaust gas temperatures were 220, 310 and 370 °C at 50%, 100% and overload condition respectively. For the
experimental setup with heat exchanger the suction air temperature increases with this kind of arrangement and
found to be increased with increase in load. The same is also observed with exhaust gas temperature which also
increases with increase in inlet air temperature. The exhaust gas temperatures obtained were 145, 152, 155 and 162
°C at 50, 70, 100% and overload condition respectively.

with respect to percentage brake power for different operating conditions. The trend shows increase in the thermal

efficiency with brake power and reaches to maximum around full load condition and further decreases beyond full
load. For the experimental setup with heat exchanger the variation of brake thermal efficiency at different outputs is
given in fig.3. It is clear that thermal efficiency reaches maximum and then decreases. It indicates that inlet air
heating improves performance at full load and beyond full load it gets deteriorated. At 100% load thermal efficiency
rises due to increased inlet air temperature which leads to proper mixing of fuel and improves vaporisation of
injected fuel. At 100% and 120% of brake power thermal efficiencies obtained were 32.5 and 28.9. From graph it
is clear that the performance of the engine with inlet air heating is better than normal heating conditions. However
beyond full load it gets deteriorated.

4.3 Effect on Smoke density

The percentage of smoke density with respect to brake power is as shown in fig. 4. It shows that at full load the
smoke density was 15% and for overload condition it was 29%. For the experimental setup with heat exchanger it is
clear that there is reduction in smoke level when engine is operating at 23° before TDC with heat exchanger as
compared to engine operating at normal operating conditions. The values of smoke density at full load were 14%
and at overload it was 22%.

5. Conclusion
The heat exchanger designed for the purpose of recovering the waste heat from the exhaust gases and to heat the
inlet air up to 150C at full load by using this heat is working satisfactorily. The inlet air heating improves the
performance of the stationary diesel engine and lowers down the emission level. The effectiveness of heat
exchanger found to be 0.615 at full load condition.
