This experimental investigation is an endeavour to substitute diesel with WPO as fuel on a diesel engine. Enhancing the physiochemical properties of WPO or with hardware modifications on the engine, the performance of engine could not be improved up to the mark. The physiochemical properties of WPO are enhanced by the use of composite additive, which is a mixture of soy lecithin and 2-ethylhexyl nitrate and to improve the in-cylinder air motion; subsequently to increase the swirl and turbulence, standard hemispherical combustion chamber is modified to toroidal spherical grooves combustion chamber. The results of combined effect of modifying the combustion chamber and addition of composite additive suggest that improvements in engine-out emissions can be obtained from current diesel engines by enhancing physiochemical properties of fuel and matching geometry of combustion chamber. Engine combustion and emission characteristics under various loads for various fuels under test are as well studied.

AbstractNOx emission is one of the major sources for health issues, acid rain and global warming. Diesel engine vehicles are the major sources for NOx emissions. Hence there is a need to reduce the emissions from the engines by identifying suitable techniques or by means of alternate fuels. The present investigation deals with the effect of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) on 4S, single cylinder, DI diesel engine using plastic oil/Diesel blends P10 (10% plastic oil & 90% diesel in volume), P20 and P30 at various EGR rates. Plastic oil blends were able to operate in diesel engines without any modifications and the results showed that P20 blend had the least NOx emission quantity.

Recently, there is an increasing interest in the pyrolysis of waste plastic into usable fuel as a friendly environment method for waste plastic disposal. The existing literature from various studies stated that the major problem related to the use of WPO in diesel engines is the high NOx emissions level. This paper aims to remedy this problem by suggesting the best EGR percentage with the advanced optimum injection timing. Primary, 5 EGR percentage fractions are considered: 0%, 5%, 15%, 20% and 25% percent. The results showed that 25% is the best percentage regarding emissions. However, a significant reduction in mean in-cylinder pressure, temperature, and heat release rate was depicted with the EGR fraction increase. Injection timing is advanced to recoup the decrease in performance. The results showed that 25% of EGR and advanced injection timing by 5 degrees would be better for performances and emissions of DI diesel engine while running with waste plastic oil as an alternative fuel.
