Fuel type has a direct effect on the quality of IC engine's combustion phenomenon. One of the most important quality parameters that can be fluctuated by fuel type is engine noise. The purpose of this study is to analyze the noise parameter of a diesel engine using B0, B5 (5% vol., biodiesel and 95% vol., diesel blends), B10, B15, B20, B25 and B30 biodiesel-diesel blends. This study was carried out at stationary position and at three positions such driver's left ear position (Drivers Left Ear Position-DLEP), 1.5 meter (1.5 meter Away From Exhaust-MAFE) and 7.5 meters (7.5 meter Away From Exhaust-MAFE) away from exhaust at 6 engine speeds (1200, 1400, 1600, 1800, 2000 & 2200 RPM). The results proved that the lowest and highest Sound Pressure Level (SPL) of power tiller takes place at B10, and B30 respectively. The SPL increased by 7.8 dB for increasing engine speed from 1200 to 2200 RPM. The test results showed that the average SPL at DLEP was 4.3 dB higher than 7.5 MAFE position. The dominant frequency of engine noise was315Hz that exhaust structure is the source of it. In this frequency SPL of B10 was, 23% lower than thefuelB30 (a mixture of 30percentbiodiesel and70percentdieselfuel, respectively). The slightest and strongest sound by using theB10, B30 fuel mixture was produced respectively. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
