Abstract
Depletion of fossil fuels and environmental pollution are major challenges in the present world. Main pollution sources are the Plastic waste and automotive emissions. The present work deals with usage of the oil obtained from waste plastic blended with Fish Biodiesel. In order to carry out the study on plastic wastes, pyrolysis process was used. Pyrolysis runs without oxygen and in high temperature of about 250-300 °C. Fish Biodiesel was obtained from waste fish leftovers and transesterification was used to obtain Fish Oil Methyl Ester (FOME). B20FOME is obtained by blending 20% FOMEwith 80% Diesel. The 10% of fuel obtained from waste plastic is blended withB20FOME to obtain B20FOME10WPO. For conducting the various experiments,10HP single cylinder 4 stroke direct injection water-cooled diesel engine is employed. The engine is made to run at 1500rpm and the load is varied gradually from 0-100%. The BTE of biodiesel blend and bio diesel blend with plastic oil was increased by 3.82% and 10.02% respectively than that of diesel. UBHC and CO emissions were found to be lower than that of diesel. Whereas NOx emission and smoke opacity were observed to be marginally higher than that of diesel. The performance, emission and combustion characteristics are observed. It reveals that fuel properties are comparable with petroleum products. Converting waste plasticsinto fuel hold great promise for both the environmental and economic scenarios.
