Experimental study on performance and emission character of C. I. engine fuelled with plastic oil (PO) along with diesel fuel blending

Abstract

In this experimental investigation evaluate the sound effects of plastic fuel in a single cylinder four stroke diesel engine. Plastic oil fuel produced from desecrate plastic with the help pyrolysis technique which most suitable for conversion. Also chemical and physical properties are tested for various blends as per the ASTM standard. Selected diesel engine tested with plastic oil and diesel fuel blend. Blending endowment selected for the testing of engine such as PO25, PO50, PO75 and PO100 for a load 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of load of engine. In each experiment test, load on engine is increased and recorded the specific fuel consumption, mechanical efficiency, brake thermal efficiency. Also simultaneously measure the tail pipe emission of engine such as Carbon Monoxide, UBHC emission and Oxides of Nitrogen emission etc. obtained results are compared with standard performance characteristics of diesel engine. Finally these investigations prove the PO oil and its blending with diesel fuel are suitable for selected engine. Up to PO75 may use as a source of alternative fuel for CI engine without any major modification.
