Waste plastic oil to fuel: An experimental study in thermal barrier coated CI engine with exhaust gas recirculation

Abstract

The disposal of waste plastic has intensified into a massive environmental crisis. A sound disposal technology may be extremely expensive or complex in operation. As a result, experts are investigating alternative methods of recycling waste plastic. Waste plastic oils (WPO) are gaining interest as a replacement for petroleum-based fuels since they can deliver substantial performance while having a low environmental impact. The goal of this research is to look into the use of WPO in a retarded timing (RT) engine with a partially stabilized zirconium combustion chamber surface (PSZ). In addition, Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) augmentation was used to realize WPO performance fully. With 20% EGR, the engine's thermal efficiency increased by 6.33%, along with the significant reduction of NOx. However, CO, HC, and smoke particle emissions increased by 4.56%, 5.76%, and 3.54%. More research on the sustainability aspects of the WPO is required before considering it as a fuel for the transportation sector.

The combined effect of EGR and hydrogen addition on a Syzygium cumini (Jamun) liquid biofuel engine

“…Storing hydrogen using safety equipment Flame tap is used to prevent back re in the supply line and to reduce explosions inside the setups. When an unfavourable combustion phenomena takes place, ashback arrestors are employed to restrain or stop the ow of gas and put out the ame before it can reach the gas source [10]. The different nonreverse control valves were installed in the fuel delivery line to prevent gas back ow into the engine cylinder.…”

Investigation of heat transport characteristics of titanium dioxide nanofluids with corrugated tube

“…Therefore, the saturation temperature has a minor effect on the heat transfer rate and the pressure drop. In the corrugated tubes, explicit numerical simulations were not conducted to investigate the influence of saturation temperature (Sudeshkumar et al., 2022).…”

Developing green technologies for environmental sustainability and quality

“…Sudeshkumar et al. (2022) investigated the use of waste plastic oils (WPO) in a retarded timing (RT) engine and evaluated the WPO performance using exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) augmentation. By implementing 20% EGR, the study found that the engine's thermal efficiency can be increased by 6.33% and nitrogen oxides (NOx) can also be reduced.…”
