Abstract
Internal combustion engine plays vital
role in any automotive application and mechanical
systems. These engines are worldwide used as device
transforming one form of energy into another form
and their cost is high so; maintenance of such
engines is an essential thing. In this project the focus
is on the fault detection and experimental analysis of
the engine. The available literature was thoroughly
reviewed and many methods about fault detection
were studied. Review of research study concluded
that fault tree analysis which uses logic gates and
Boolean algebra. It is a graphically design technique
that provide reliability block diagram and the tree
developed will identify the root causes. By the use of
this method it is an easy way to identify failure parts
of system. After identifying the failure parts of the
engine these parts will be either repaired or replaced
and carried various experimental tests such as load,
Speed and Morse test on the engine. To compare
performance of test setup with and without fault tree
analysis approaches are used. The results obtained
using fault tree analysis is effective in manner. The
performance of engine is increased after
maintenance and fault tree analysis method
facilitates successfully optimizing of maintenance
effort.
