Direct Injection Compression Ignition Engine with Diesel and CNSO-Biodiesel to Meet Energy and Environment Demand

Abstract

The Compression Ignition engines are most popularly used prime movers for movement of goods; which majorly uses Diesel as a fuel- leads in increasing demand-cause for big environmental pollution and damage. The resolving solution for this problem is use of renewable fuel like Biodiesel. Biomass in the form of Cashew Nut Shell Oil (CNSO) represents a new energy source and abundant biodegradable source of energy; usage of CNSO based fuel in diesel engines helps in meeting energy requirement; also play key role in protecting the world environment. This paper presents performance evolution results of Single Cylinder Direct Injection Compression Ignition (DICI) diesel engine using different Diesel and CNSO-Biodiesel blends with 5 to 30% proportion at various loads. The results, compared with neat diesel operation and concluded that D75BDcn25 blend fuel is the optimum and the Biodiesel made from CNSO and its blend with diesel is promising alternative fuel for diesel engine.
