Experimental Investigation of IC Engine and Gassifier with Different Biomass Materials
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: With recent price rise and scarcity of these fuels there has been a trend towards use of alternative energy sources like solar, wind, geothermal etc. However these energy resources have not been able to provide an economically viable solution for agricultural applications. Biomass materials are non-toxic, biodegradable, produced from renewable sources and contribute a minimal amount of net green house gases, such as CO2, SO2 and NO emissions to the atmosphere. Need of a suitable biomass material fuel for existing internal combustion engines is being desperately felt these days, when petroleum reserves are soon going to vanish from the surface of earth. Biomass fuel proposes one such option with its suitability as a replacement fuel for existing internal combustion engines, it becomes interesting to know performance of a dedicated IC engine with biodiesel fuel. Up to 50% Biomass material fuel blends in Gasifier can substitute wood without any modification in the engine. Hence, these blends of Vegetable waste may be considered as wood fuel substitutes.
