AB  - In this study, a fluidized bed gasifier with a
capacity of 20 kg h<sup>&#150;1</sup> was designed and developed to use
agro-industries residues such as Rice Husk (RH) and
Sugarcane Bagasse (SB) as a feed stock are used in this
investigation. The objective of this work was to generate
better gas efficiency based on equivalence ratio, particle
size by optimum parameters such as a reactor
temperature (t), equivalence ratio (e), pressure (p), feed
size (f<sub>s</sub>) and fuel consumption rate (f<sub>c</sub>) with the help of
design matrix to find the optimum condition and by
performing the experimental work for generating
Producer Gas (PG) use to drive the CI engine on dual
fuel mode with minor modification in engine inlet
manifold. This report also reveals the performance of CI
engine coupled with gasifier to operate in dual-fuel
mode. The full potentiality of biomass for gasification
was successfully investigated furthermore, the producer
gas from two feed materials used as dual fuel mode with
diesel to run single cylinder four stroke water cooled
engine with a rated power and speed of 3.75 kW and
1500 rpm, respectively. By considered variables
performance such as break thermal efficiency and
specific fuel consumption. This study also includes the
feasibility of producer gas used as secondary fuel with
diesel for different feed materials, considered in this
work for the optimum process parameters.
