“…Government policies in most countries have become more stringent regarding the emission of pollutants from transport vehicles, and vehicle manufacturers are challenged to meet environmental regulations. In recent years, much research has been carried out to achieve more environmental friendly transport, relying on technology development and cost optimization. − Since diesel engines are economical, in terms of fuel usage and resilient in nature, they are widely used in transport and agriculture. Their higher compression ratios and lean combustion characteristics are responsible for higher thermal efficiencies than other internal combustion (IC) engines .…”

In view of escalating concerns about energy (fuel) supply and environmental degradation, biodiesel is viewed as a potential replacement for petro-diesel, thereby reducing the dependences of many nations on importing crude petroleum. Cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) is a biofuel that is renewable and biodegradable and has similar properties of petro-diesel fuel. In the present paper, the status of CNSL is reviewed in order to provide an updated source of information on CNSL and its use for researchers, engineers, and policy makers. The paper summarizes information on cashew crop cultivation, oil extraction methods, and fuel modification techniques. Furthermore, the combustion behavior and emission characteristics of CNSL in a compression ignition engine are discussed. It is concluded that CNSL has the potential to be used as an alternative to diesel fuel in compression ignition engines, and thereby mitigate challenges associated with high dependences on imported petroleum and environmental impact that is due to the emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants.

“…Along with techniques related to the engine to meet emission regulations imposed [1][2][3][4], researchers of engine are also focusing their interest on the domain of fuel-related techniques, such as for example oxygenated fuels which are able to decrease particulate emissions [5][6][7][8][9][10]and alternative gaseous fuels that are renewable in nature.…”

An experimental analysis was carried out to investigate two types of non edible oils (Hazelnut and Corn) blended with conventional diesel fuel approximately with proportions of 5%, 10 % , 15%, 20% and 25% by volume in a 4-stroke single cylinder, vertical, water cooled, Compression Ignition engine. Number of experimental trials were conducted with the above bio-diesel blends as fuel operated in the engine working at all loads from minimum to maximum. An analysis was made to compare the results such as exhaust emission characteristics like NOx emissions, CO emissions, smoke density, and total and partially unburned hydrocarbons. Performance parameters like brake specific fuel consumption(BSFC), brake Thermal efficiency(BTHE), and exhaust gas temperatures(EGT) for all blends prepared by blending the bio-diesels mentioned above with conventional diesel fuel separately with different proportions listed in the work. In this work CI engine is giving better performance with blend B20 for both diesels used as fuel when compare with remaining blends of both bio-diesels. But when compare with these B20 blends are showing marginal decrease in the performance parameters. Engine working with bio-diesel blends as fuel are showing noticeable reduction in exhaust emissions like carbon monoxides (CO), hydro carbons(HC) and slight increase in oxides of nitrogen(NOx) when compared with conventional neat diesel fuel.. Bio-diesel blend prepared from hazelnut bio-diesel showing better properties next to diesel fuel when compared with remaining bio-diesels used in the present work. This blend is showing better engine performance and decreased engine emissions when compared with Corn bio-diesel blends. After hazel nut oil immediately corn is giving better performance.
