The oil that comes out of the transformer leads to environmental hazards when it is disposed into land after the completion of its durability. This research work intends to capitalize on the feasibility of converting this transformer oil into an alternative fuel. The varying quantity of thermally cracked waste transformer oil (20%, 40%, and 60% v/v) is mixed with 10% v/v of Di Ethyl Ether (DEE) and blended with commercial diesel (CD) to make 100% volume. The purpose of this work is to observe the performance of blended fuel when compared to commercial diesel. To meet this objective, the physicochemical properties of blended oil were tested by ASTM standards and evidence for the presence of essential hydrocarbon was proved using FTIR analysis. The notable improvement as observed in WPDE60 blend for BSFC, BTE and in-cylinder pressure by 8.82%, 8.29% and 4.3%, respectively, when compared to CD at full load condition. Whereas, emission performances were reduced by 18.82%, 4.9% and 39.6% for unburned hydrocarbon, CO and smoke density, respectively. Based on the results obtained, WPDE60 blend is resembled the properties of commercial diesel and can be proposed as a fuel alternative for internal combustion engines.

“…A significant advantage of biodiesel over diesel is that it contains molecular oxygen, which is not present in diesel, followed by similar cetane number and better lubricity. 11 Experimental studies by Kumar and Kumar, 12 Kumar et al 13 and Chandel et al 14 suggest the compatibility of biodiesel in diesel engines.…”

Utilisation of high carbon alcohols in diesel engines as fuel is gaining importance among researchers because of its better fuel properties that are compatible with mineral diesel. The present study utilises two such alcohols namely octanol and decanol along with diesel and biodiesel derived from lemongrass. Two ternary blends, 50% by volume of diesel – 30% by volume of biodiesel – 20% by volume of octanol, and 50% by volume of diesel – 30% by volume of biodiesel – 20% by volume of decanol, were prepared, and different engine characteristics were analysed and compared with both neat diesel and biodiesel operation. Results indicated that peak cylinder pressure lowered with the ternary blend. Peak heat release rate was higher for octanol blend. When compared with octanol blend, 2.5% higher brake thermal efficiency was observed for decanol blend. However, still, the brake thermal efficiency was 3.5% lower than the diesel operation. The oxides of nitrogen emission for decanol blend were 4% lower than octanol blend. In general, smoke emission was lower for higher alcohol blends in comparison with the binary blend operation. Among the higher alcohol blends, octanol portrayed a 15% lower smoke opacity. Both the hydrocarbon emission and the carbon monoxide emission increased with higher alcohol blends. The study revealed that 1-decanol could be a potential fuel candidate for diesel engines operating with biomass-derived lemongrass oil biodiesel.

“…In this context, studies such as the use of alternative fuels, exhaust after treatment systems and advanced combustion concepts have been carried out. Among these, alternative fuels especially bio fuels have been extensively researched and applied in internal combustion engines with promising results in emissions and a high amount of literature presented the significant benefits for using biodiesel and alcohol fuels in diesel engines [1][2][3]. On the other hand, the importance of studies on the reduction of emissions with exhaust after treatment systems has increased due to the increasingly tighter emission standards [4].…”

Reactivity Controlled Compression-Ignition (RCCI) concept presents a great potential to reduce both NOx and soot emissions from conventional diesel engines with improved thermal efficiency. Therefore, in this work, a single-cylinder diesel engine with CRDI was operated on RCCI mode. To investigate the effect of RCCI mode on engine performance and emissions, gasoline was injected into the port as LRF, while diesel was injected directly into the cylinder as HRF. Premixed ratio of low reactivity fuel was varied from 0% (conventional diesel mode, CDM) to 60% with 15% intervals as energy ratio given to engine per cycle. Engine load was also studied from 20% to 60% of max. engine torque with 20% intervals to stimulate low, mid and mid-high load conditions. Experimental results showed that with increase of Rp, unburned HC and CO emissions increased while smoke opacity decreased significantly (up to about 95% in case of 0.60 Rp and 60% engine load) in gasoline/diesel RCCI compared to CDM. Though NOx emissions decreased at low engine loads with RCCI strategy, they started to increase with increase of Rp at high loads.
