Different blends of biodiesel, bioethanol, diesel and noise pollution emitted by stationary and moving MF285 tractor

چکیده مقاله

Given the significance of the relationships between human beings, environment, machines and ergonomics as well as the necessity of using renewable fuels, the present study aimed to investigate the effects of different blends of biodiesel, bioethanol and diesel on noise pollution emitted by a MF285 tractor in stationary and moving modes by the aid of statistical methods. In this respect, the emitted noise was measured using the noise dosimeters and sound level meters in the driver and the bystander’s positions, at 1000, 1600 and 2000 RPM in both stationary and moving modes. Then, nine fuel blends of biodiesel, bioethanol and diesel with different volumetric percentages as well as pure diesel were studied. To study the effects of key factors on noise pollution, the factorial experiment was conducted in the form of a completely randomized design, followed by the application of the SPSS Statistics Software …
