Abstract
In this study, pyrolytic fuel from nutshell and rice husk blends was produced at 500°C temperature, 1 L/min gas flow rate and 10 °C/min heating rate. Pyrolytic fuel was experimented in a single cylinder, direct injection diesel engine with different engine speeds of 1750, 2000, 2250, 2750, 3000 rpm at wide open throttle. The blend of 10% pyrolytic fuel and 90% diesel (B10) and pure diesel were selected as test fuel. Test results showed that conversion efficiency increased with 15% rice husk and 85% nutshell blends compared to pure nutshell at 500°C temperature, 10°C/min and 1L/min gas flow speed. In addition, power output and brake torque decreased 10.20% with B10 compared to diesel. Specific fuel consumption (SFC) increased 28.42% with B10 compared to diesel. HC and CO reduced with pyrolytic fuel about 43.87% and 15.72% compared to diesel respectively. As a result, similar properties were seen between pyrolytic fuel and diesel. So, it was found that pyrolytic fuel could be efficiently used in diesel engines without detailed modification.
