The rapid increase in a fuel price, decreasing supply of high grade fuels in the market, and environmental concerns stimulated research on more efficient engines, and also led to the revolution of using alternative fuels. The efficiency of IC engines can be enhanced by reducing the heat loss. Lower heat rejection from the combustion chamber through thermally insulated components can be achieved by thermal barrier coatings. Calophyllum Inophyllum methyl ester (CIME) biodiesel blends, were tested for their alternate resource in diesel engines. The piston crown was coated with the partially stabilized (ZrO2) and Alumina (Al2O3) coatings with bond coating (Ni-Al) over the piston crown to provide thermal insulation, which leads to better combustion and performance. Coating was done by thermal spray method. Experimental investigation on performance, combustion and emission characteristics are conducted for varying loads 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% for both coated and uncoated piston. The biodiesel blends prepared from CIME oil is prepared through esterification process. In general, thermal barrier coating improves the efficiency of the engine and reduces various energy losses.
