Abstract
Existing fossil fuels are utilizing at their critical rate, leads to depletion of their reserves in a dramatic way. Generating alternative energy sources in a pragmatic way are necessitated, which demands the researchers to utilize the inherent energy of carbon based products as an energy source to the automobile sector. As a part of it, my research is focused on transforming and using the waste plastics as an alternative fuel in multi cylinder spark ignition engine. This paper aims to present the experimental investigations of performance and emission characteristics in an existing Maruti 800 petrol engine running with the blends of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% of waste Plastic Pyrolysis Oil (PPO) with gasoline. From the results, it is noticed that hydrocarbon emissions are substantially reduced and oxides of nitrogen emissions are increased and petrol engine can operate with PPO blends up to 20% without any engine modifications.
Highlights
The rapid industrialization and rushing of automobile sector has led to a steep rise in the demand of petroleum based fuels
The main objective of this research work is defined as an extension of earlier research, most of experimental investigations carried out with plastic pyrolysis oil operated on compression ignition engines and very minimum work was carried out on spark ignition engines
At starting loading condition (0 to 0.5 kW), the variation of the Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC) is drastically increased after that a sudden decrease in BSFC along with the variation of brake power for petrol and other plastic oil blends. 25.53% BSFC augment was noticed at 20 Plastic Pyrolysis Oil (PPO) blend when compared with baseline petrol
Summary
The rapid industrialization and rushing of automobile sector has led to a steep rise in the demand of petroleum based fuels. Known petroleum reserves to be depleted in less than 50 years with the present rate of consumption It forewarns the research community regarding the shortage of energy by the shortage of finite fossil fuel reserves. [4,5,6,7,8] Experimental investigation was carried out on a compression ignition engine with waste plastic oil and tyre oil blends with and without exhaust gas recirculation. KareddulaVijaya Kumar et al [9] experimental studies with distilled plastic pyrolysis oil as an alternate fuel for spark ignition engine. Their results show that 50 % distilled plastic pyrolysis oil was gave enhancement in performance compared with petrol and other blends even at full load conditions. Analyse the engine performance and emission characteristics of three cylinder Maruti 800 petrol engine fuelled with waste plastic oil blends with gasoline at different volume fractions
