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.
