ABSTRACT
This paper highlights the experimental investigation of the emission characteristics of linseed oil blended with rice husk producer gas in a diesel engine modified to dual mode. Linseed oil was assessed in both single and dual-fuel mode with a constant gas flow rate of 21.69 kg/h at distinctive load conditions. From the experimental values it is seen that both oxides of nitrogen (NO) and smoke opacity diminish; however, carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbon (HC) increase for all test fuel blends in dual-fuel mode in comparison to that of a single mode at various loading conditions. It is noted that all fuel blends show better emissions over that of diesel for both the modes.
