Experimental Investigation of Performance and Emission of CI Engine using Alumina Nanoparticles with Waste Plastic Oil and Honge Bio Diesel

Abstract

Demand for fuel and the use of petroleum products are increasing day by day which causes serious problems such as petroleum depletion, environment degradation etc. So biodiesel is a good alternative for conventional diesel fuel. By using biodiesel there are also some disadvantages such as high oxides of nitrogen, high fuel consumption and higher density. To overcome this problems from biodiesel using additives. Additives play an significant role in enhancing the properties of biodiesel. In this context, oxygenated additives such as Alimina which are rich in oxygen content are used. Biodiesel is obtained from honge oil by transesterification process and waste plastic oil is obtained by pyrolisis process. The experiment work is done by a CI engine using honge biodiesel, waste plastic oil and alumina nanparticles as an additive. The present investigation was to study the combustion and performance characteristics of all the blends by compare them with diesel. Experimental results show that performance and combustion characteristics improved with B20 biodiesel blend with WPO(waste plastic oil) and with or without nanoparticles as additive. The thermal efficiency will increase and SFC( Specific fuel consumption) is better in case of oxygenated additive blend. Considerable reductions parameters like carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbon and increases in nitrogen oxide emissions are attained while using B20 biodiesel blend and B20 biodiesel blend with waste plastic oil compared with diesel. However there is a significant reduction in CO, UBHC and NOx emission parameters for B20 biodiesel blend with WPO and nanoparticles as an additive.
