Abstract
In this study the performance as well as emission tests were conducted on Kirloskar diesel engine (a single-cylinder 5.2 kW) using Cardanol as a bio-diesel. Cardanol was produced from cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) blended with Honge methyl ester in addition of diesel. The bio-fuel blends 5C5H (5% cardanol + 5%Honge oil + 90% diesel),5C10H, 5C15H and 5C20H were prepared and tested at various loads (0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and full load conditions) and results are compared with diesel at 205 bar injection pressure and 17.5 compression ratio. The experimental results showed that at full load, the brake thermal efficiency of 5C5H is 29.35% which is similar to that of diesel i.e., 31.05%. The lower emissions of CO, HC except NOx are encouraging to recognize 5C5H as an optimized fuel blend for a compression ignition engine.
