An Experimental Comparison on Performance and Emission Characteristics of Diesel Engine Fuelled with Waste Plastic Oil and Karanja Biodiesel Blends

Abstract

Due to the limitation of fossil fuel sources, environmental concerns and less availability of petroleum fuels have caused the search for alternative fuels for the diesel engine. So we should go as an alternate fuel sourcelike waste plastic oil for using the energy demand in comparison to the karanja seed oil or karanja biodiesel oil blends. Because of the large availability of waste plastic in the India, easily available and less cost of production of waste plastic oil. Development and modernization have brought huge amount of plastic commodities which the causes of environmental impact over the human being so it?s a major concerns for life support system. So we need more utilization of waste plastic in comparison to the other alternate fuel source like karanja oil. In the present work, investigating the performance and emission characteristics of a single cylinder, 4- strokes diesel enginefueled with both the waste plastic oil and karanja oil fuel at distinct time process. In this paper we make four blends with 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% of both fuels. All the Various parameters such as Brake Thermal Efficiency, Brake Specific Fuel Consumption, carbon dioxide, unburned hydrocarbon and nitrogen dioxide are determined at all operating load conditions and at compression ratio 18.
