Performance test on single cylinder CI-engine waste plastic fuel blend with diesel fuel
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
As the fossil fuels are depleting at a very faster rate, there is a need to find out an alternative fuel to fulfill the energy demand of the world. Plastic fuel is one of the best available sources to fulfill the energy demand of the world. The petroleum fuels play a very significant role in the development of industrial growth, transportation, agricultural sector and to meet many other basic human requirements. However, these fuels are limited and depleting day by day as the consumption is increasing very rapidly. Moreover, their use is alarming the environmental problems to society. Hence, there is a need of research for alternative fuels. There is a long list of syringe water bottle etc. waste plastic chair available abundantly in India, which can be exploited for the production of plastic fuel. Recent research on plastic fuel focused on performance of plastic fuel and its blends with diesel. The present work aims to investigate the possibilities of the application of mixtures of two plastic fuel and its blends with diesel as a fuel for diesel engines. The present investigations are planned after a thorough review of literature in this area. The combinations of plastic fuel, along with diesel are taken for the experimental analysis. There was no evidence of any practical multi-blend plastic fuel source engine. Experiments are conducted using a single cylinder direct-injection diesel engine with different loads at rated 1500 rpm. The brake thermal efficiency of PF-10 has maximum 18.1% compares to pure diesel 18.71% at 1.5 kW brake power. Maximum specific fuel consumption is obtained in PF-30 (0.715) compare to pure diesel at 0.5 kW brake power. The results which obtained are significantly comparable to pure diesel. The multi-blend plastic fuel is suitable alternative fuel for diesel in stationary/agricultural diesel engines.
