Abstract
The primary study is to take the alternative fuel using cashew nut shell liquid as bio-diesel and to moderate the continuous issues posed by the reducing petroleum backup. Cashew nut shell is pulverized and the oil is extracted. The CNSL is then converted in to bio-diesel by transesterification process. The properties of liquid thus accomplished are characterized. The investigational results verified the fact that CNSL consists mostly phenolic compounds. The bio-diesel thus obtained is blended with neat diesel in the ratios 2080 (B20) and 6040 (B60) per litre. The blended mixture is then tested for performance and combustion using Variable Compression Ratio (VCR) Engine set up. The emission characteristics are tested using computerized AVL Smoke Metre.
