Design and Thermal Analysis of Pine Needle Charcoal Briquette

Author(s): Dev Raj and S. Vaibhav

The work represented in this paper focuses on the design and thermal aspectsof the pine needle charcoal briquette. Different types of briquette samples are manufactured based upon their composition, ratio of the constituents, design and physical structure. The samples are compared upon theseparameters by performing proximate analysis and water boiling tests. The briquette, having clay as the binder and the ratio six to four of pine char with the clay, is taking the least ignition time. The briquette, having cow dung as the binder with ratio four to six with the pine char and having nineteen holes, is having the longest life among all the considered types of the briquettes. The specific fuel consumption is observedbetterfor the briquette with cow dung as binder with the ratio three to seven of the pine char and having thirty three holes. The briquette, with nineteen holes and hav-ing clay as the binder in the ratio three to seven with the pine char, takes the least time to boil the water and the briquette, with nineteen holes and having clay as the binder in the ratio four to six, takes the longest time to boil the water.Thus, this article provides an insight for design considerations for pine needle briquetting to improve their efficiency.
