Abstract
The four-ball tester was used in this analysis to demonstrate the lubricity of tire pyrolysis oil (TPO). The tribological performance of the tire pyrolysis oil was compared with diesel fuel (DF) and their blends, DT10 (TPO 10%, Diesel 90%) and DT20 (TPO 20%, Diesel 80%). A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to investigate the wear scar. In contrast to diesel fuel, TPO demonstrated better antiwear behaviour in terms of higher load-carrying capacity. DT10, DT20, and TPO’s wear scar diameter (WSD) was 22.35%, 16.01%, and 31.99% smaller than that of diesel at 80 kg load, respectively. The scanning electron microscope micrographs showed that the TPO and DT10 had less wear than their counterparts.
Highlights
Alternative fuels have gained attention in diesel engines [1] because of the rapid depletion of fossil fuels [2], climate change [3], economic challenges, and growth in population and energy demand [4,5,6,7]
tire pyrolysis oil (TPO) has gained popularity as a supplement for diesel, and the current demand to conduct research related to the wear and friction characteristics of engine fuel are imperative
The recent research examines the wear and friction characteristics of TPO and its blend with diesel at different testing parameters to concentrate on the gap
Summary
Alternative fuels have gained attention in diesel engines [1] because of the rapid depletion of fossil fuels [2], climate change [3], economic challenges, and growth in population and energy demand [4,5,6,7]. Habibullah et al examined the friction and wear of the Calophyllum inophyllum biodiesel (CIB) and their blends with diesel fuel on a four-ball tester and reported that the friction and wear decrease as the biodiesel concentration and load increase [32]. TPO has gained popularity as a supplement for diesel, and the current demand to conduct research related to the wear and friction characteristics of engine fuel are imperative. The recent research examines the wear and friction characteristics of TPO and its blend with diesel at different testing parameters to concentrate on the gap. The magnetic stirrer was used to generate the DT10 and DT20 blends IKA, Oxford, UK Anton Paar, St Albans, UK Anton Paar, St Albans, UK DUCOM, Karnataka, India
