Abstract
High energy demand and environmental pollution leads to seeking
of new, renewable and clean energy as biofuel and biomass. These
fuels are abundant in tropical areas and
agricultural-economic-based countries. Among various crops which
are used for biofuel, Jatropha Curcas L. Oil (JO) is more
beneficial and attractive as it is non-edible which is not
competitive with food demand. In agricultural sector, the biomass
waste especially from rice production such as rice husk is a
tremendous resource in Cambodia. The combination of the use of
biomass from rice husk (RH) and Jatropha Cake (JC) from the JO
production in the gasification can produce more energy for the
electricity production especially in the remote and rural area. In
previous research, some researchers have been investigated on the
use of JO in blending ratio, heated-neat condition and dual fuel
combustion of diesel and bio-digested biogas. The use of crude-neat
JO and producing gas from the gasification has never conducting
yet. In this study, mixed combustion of dual fuel of neat JO and
producing biogas (BG) in single cylinder, direct injection
compression ignition engine was conducted at fixed injection timing
θj = 17 °bTDC, with two mixing ratios of producing gas
rpg = 25 and 50% in energy base as JOHBG25 and JOHBG50 at low,
medium and high loads. The producing gas which composes of
hydrogen, carbon mono-oxide, methane, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and
oxygen from the gasification was replaced by the simulated gas and
was fed from gas cylinder. In previous experiments, pressure
histories were recorded and engine outputs and combustion
characteristics such as thermal efficiency, specific energy
consumption, rate of heat release, maximum pressure-rise rate,
maximum heat-release rate were recorded and analyzed, and exhaust
gas emissions were measured. From the results, at low load, JOHBG25
is better for its thermal efficiency. Both dual fuels JOHBG25 and
50 produced lower maximum pressure-rise rate, compared to JO and
diesel with similar brake specific energy consumption (BSEC). In
all loads, JOHBG25 and JOHBG50 produce higher CO and THC but less
NOx, opacity and smoke compared to JO and
diesel.
