INTRODUCTION • Green Fuels are renewable. • Relatively clean burning hence less pollution. • According to UN’s FAO(Food and Agriculture Organization), India is the Third highest producer of Cashew nut i.e. 460K ton per annum. • CNSL is easily available as a waste of cashew nut industries. • Relatively more efficient than other bio diesels.
DEG GREEN FUEL
Cashew Nut Shell Liquid(CNSL): • CNSL stands for Cashew Nut Shell Liquid. • The cashew nut shell is 3 mm thick with honeycomb like structures in between the inner and outer layer of the shell . • These honeycomb structures contain CNSL. • The shell constitutes 60-70% of the nut.
Continued.. • In cashew nut shell the CNSL occurs as Anarcadic
acid(90%) and Cardol (10%). • Unlike the vegetable oils or waste fried oils CNSL do
not need Transesterification. • CNSL Biodiesel is prepared by the Pyrolysis process. • It’s a process in which thermochemical conversion of
the Anarcadic acid occurs in a reactor at a vacuum pressure of 5kPa and temperature of 600 o C in the absence of Oxygen.
Continued.. • The volatiles removed on pyrolysis are gradually condensed from atmospheric condition to condition in ice bath. • The decarboxylated Cardanol is called CNSL biodiesel.
PREPARING THE BLEND • 20% CNSL biodiesel is mixed with 80% normal diesel to prepare a biodiesel blend called B20. • For better performance two additives are added to the B20 fuel. One is Ethanol other is Diethyl ether. • 90% of B20 fuel + 10% Ethanol is called B20E10. • 90% of B20 +10% diethyl ether is called B20D10. • The blend percentage of CNSL is limited to 20 due to its high viscosity ,low calorific value.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS 1. Break Thermal efficiency Vs Load:•
From the experimental observed data a small gain percentage noticed for the blend B20D10 over the other blend ratio
•
There is nearly 3% increase in BTE of B20D10 than the diesel fuel at full load conditions.
•
This may be explained due to the increased break power at full loads.
Continued.. 2. Break specific fuel consumption (BSFC):•
This is may be due to higher energy required per kilowatt at higher load than that of lower load.
•
At higher loads high turbulence and high in-cylinder temperature helps in better atomization of fuel and air fuel mixing. Which leads to better combustion and decreases the BSFC.
Continued.. 3. Exhaust temperature Vs Load:•
The incomplete combustion leads some part of combustion into the exhaust stroke producing high exhaust temperature.
EMISSION ANALYSIS 1.CO% Vs Load:•
Minimum and max CO produced is . 01 and .3 %
•
Initially decrease till 80% load but at full load increases sharply
•
Because of less time for complete combustion.
Continued… 2. HC Vs Load:•
Lesser HC emission due to higher oxygen content in bio diesel leading to complete combustion.
Continued… 3. NOx Vs Load:•
In B20 increased No is due to fuel combustion temperature, more time to reaction of oxygen and nitrogen, oxygen content in bio diesel.
•
Adding Diethyl ether the NO emission decreases.
•
May be due to less burning time hence less time for reaction between oxygen and nitrogen.
•
For detailed reason we have to perform flame analysis.
Continued… 4.Smoke Opacity Vs Load:•
Less smoke in biodiesel blend B20E10 than others.
•
At medium load better result for b20d10 due to presence of oxygen in bio diesel.
•
But with increase in load less time for complete combustion for bio diesel hence smoke opacity decreased.
ADVANTAGE AND DISADVANTAGE Advantage :•
CNSL is cheaper than other vegetable oils.
•
Availability is more hence its feasible replacement for diesel.
•
Clean burning hence eco friendly.
Disadvantage:•
It can not replace the diesel completely.
•
High exhaust temperature.
•
Production is possible only near the cashew industry.
CONCLUSION •
Some fuel properties of B20 such as cetane number, Calorific value, sulphur content, and flash point are better than those of diesel fuel.
•
Diethyl ether and ethanol as additives decreases the density and the viscosity of blends.
•
The addition of diethyl ether and ethanol, can be a promising technique for using biodiesel/diesel blend efficiently in diesel engines without any modifications in the engine.
•
Therefore Cashew nut shell liquid blends can be used in CI engines in rural area for meeting energy requirement in various agricultural operations such as irrigation, harvesting, threshing, etc.
