Abstract

Biomass gasification has taken on a new significance as a decentralized and sustainable route of turning solid biomass into oxyhydrogen (HHO) enriched producer gas that can be employed in internal combustion engines using diesel as the pilot fuel. This dual fuel system can cut down on reliance on fossil diesel as well as improve the energy security of rural and semi-urban applications. This study examines the engine operation and emissions characteristics of the producer-gas-diesel dual-fuel engine under the main operating parameters and uses statistical optimization to reduce the emissions and still attain acceptable efficiency. Indeed, Prosopis juliflora wood gasification was conducted in a small, fixed-bed downdraft gasifier, which is only intended to be used in decentralized and experimental engines. Downdraft design was chosen because of the intrinsic effect that it provides low-tar PG, which must be supplied to internal combustion engines. The optimization findings reveal that the maximum brake mean effective pressure (BMEP) is 4.23 bar, pilot fuel injection pressure (PFIP) is 240 bar, and HHO flow rate (HHOFR) is 2.08 LPM. The predicted values of Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE), Brake Specific Energy Consumption (BSEC), and carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions at these settings are estimated to be 20.71 %, 4.17 MJ/kWh, and 77.95, 79.47, and 335.99 ppm, respectively. The findings indicate that the balance between the supply of producer gas and the optimization of injection parameters can greatly enhance the sustainability and emission characteristics of the dual-fuel engine running on gaseous fuel that is produced from biomass.
