Effect of Nano-Additives on the Performance, Combustion and Emission Characteristics of Polymer Waste Biodiesel Powered DI Engine
Main Article Content
Abstract
Alternative fuels and energy sources are necessary to combat climate change and deplete fossil fuel stocks. Greenhouse gasses and environmental degradation are consequences of traditional energy sources, making the need for sustainable alternatives critical. Another feasible solution to lessen the environmental impact of transportation and industry is biodiesel and biofuels. Using an efficient approach for trash disposal is another important consideration. The manufacturing of many things has skyrocketed, leading to an explosion of trash. For a long time, waste polymers were the material of choice for many items due to their low production costs and high adaptability. The purpose of this article is to promote a more sustainable environment by addressing the challenges of conventional fuel scarcity and the disposal of polymer waste. Diesel engine's performance was studied in relation to waste polymer fuels recovered from different waste grades of waste polymer with diethyl ether added. Diesel fuel and a blend of waste polymer fuel, typically 20% and 40% by weight, are combined to provide the primary fuel. The diethyl ether additives, in concentrations of 10% and 20%, were mixed with waste polymer fuel to enhance the performance of the engines, serving as an alternative fuel source.
