Abstract

Analysis of Cardanol as a Substitute for Diesel

Highlights

  • FAMEs bio-diesel is economically safe, non-toxic and biodegradable .Bio-diesel producing countries use edible fatty oils derived from rapeseed,soybean, palm, sunflower, coconut, linseed etc., as a raw material but such types of edible oils are not possible to be used in India, due to the increasing supply and demand of these oils in India

  • There are a large number of trees, shrubs and herbs which are present in India and that can be used as a Bio diesel fuel

  • The performance of emission & combustion test have been conducted on 4.4 kW constant speed diesel engine.The parametric study has been conducted using Cardanol as fuel.The parametric study have been conducted at various injector pressure 180,200,220 & 240 bar & timing 21°,23°,25° & 27° bTDC.Based on the experimental observations the following conclusions were drawn

Summary

Need for Alternate fuel

The depleting reserves of fossil fuels, increasing demand for diesel an alternate source in their availability has emerged as initiatives to search for alternate sources of energy, so it can be supplement or replace fossil fuels. Rather than using fossil fuels , researchers have focused their upon using the products of plant that is seed oil and fats extracted from plants, in that way the most commonly used alternated fuels for now is bio-diesel. Which is made up of fatty acid methyl esters(FAMEs) from oil seeds and fats. FAMEs bio-diesel is economically safe, non-toxic and biodegradable .Bio-diesel producing countries use edible fatty oils derived from rapeseed ,soybean, palm, sunflower, coconut, linseed etc., as a raw material but such types of edible oils are not possible to be used in India, due to the increasing supply and demand of these oils in India. In a country like India, the use of only non edible oil is promoted for making Bio diesel in large quantity and planted on large scale on non cropped and waste lands
