The demand for plastic is ever increasing and has produced a huge amount of plastic waste. The management and disposal of plastic waste have become a major concern, especially in developing cities. The idea of waste to energy recovery is one of the promising techniques used for managing the waste plastic. This paper assesses the potential of using Waste Plastic Oil (WPO), synthesized using pyrolysis of waste plastic, as an alternative for diesel fuel. In this research work, the performance and emission characteristics of a single cylinder diesel engine fuelled with WPO and its blends with diesel are studied. In addition to neat plastic oil, three blends (PO25, PO50 and PO75) were prepared on a volumetric basis and the engine was able to run on neat plastic oil. Brake thermal efficiency of blends was lower compared to diesel, but PO25 showed similar performance to that of diesel. The emissions were reduced considerably while using blends when compared to neat plastic oil. The smoke and NOX were reduced by 22% and 17.8% respectively for PO25 than that of plastic oil.
对塑料的需求不断增加，产生了大量的塑料废物。塑料废物的管理和处置已成为一个主要关注点，尤其是在发展中城市。废物能源回收的想法是用于管理废塑料的有前途的技术之一。本文评估了使用废塑料油（WPO）作为替代柴油燃料的潜力，WPO 是通过废塑料热解合成的。在这项研究工作中，研究了在单缸柴油机上使用 WPO 及其与柴油的混合物的性能和排放特性。除了纯塑料油外，还按体积制备了三种混合物（PO25、PO50 和 PO75），并且发动机能够使用纯塑料油运行。与柴油相比，混合物的制动热效率较低，但 PO25 的性能与柴油相似。与纯塑料油相比，使用混合物时排放大大减少。与塑料油相比，PO25 使烟度和 NOX 分别减少了 22%和 17.8%。
