Experimental Study on Characteristics of Direct Injection Compressed Ignition Engine using Waste Plastic Oil and Biodiesel Blends

Natural concern and quick exhausting of oil powers have caused interest for substitute fuel for mankind. Plastics are non-biodegradable polymer for the most part containing carbon, hydrogen and other different components in small proportions. The use of substitute fuels are intended to decrease ozone depleting substances, which includes water vapors, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. In this regard the plastic oil obtained from waste plastic could be possible alternate fuels for internal combustion engines. This will not only provide solution to the fuel supply demand problem, but also we know that the plastic disposal is a greater challenge and is huge environmental concern. The processing of waste plastic in to plastic oil will lead to solution for plastic disposal. The plastic oil is derived from the waste plastics through the chemical pyrolysis process. The plastic oil obtained from the waste plastic have characteristics similar to conventional fuel and has calorific valve near to diesel. The blended of the plastic along with biodiesel B20 has been tested on engine and found to have better emission characteristics.
