Book cover Renewable Energy and its Innovative Technologies

Abstract

In this work, plastic oil derived from the kaoline catalyzed pyrolysis of waste polypropylene plastics are used as alternate fuels along with diesel in CI engine. The performance characteristics of the plastic oil blended with 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50% diesel are analyzed and compared with diesel fuel operation. Experiments have been carried out to analyze the Energy and Exergy characteristics of diesel engine fuelled by plastic oil blended diesel fuel. The energetic and exergetic performance of waste plastic oil blended diesel is found higher than the diesel fuel operation.

Graphical Abstract

The schematic diagram explains the consumption of air-fuel mixture fed to a diesel engine and extraction of useful work from the engine. It also quantifies different losses of energy in different media associated with the engine during power generation.
