Abstract:

This study investigates the effects of Common Rail Direct Injection (CRDI) diesel engine performance by utilizing Post Hospital Waste Plastic (PHWP) oil blends as an alternative fuel. With growing environmental concerns and depleting fossil fuel resources, exploring sustainable fuel options becomes imperative. Waste plastic oil, derived from plastic waste, presents a viable alternative. The research focuses on understanding the impact of PHWP oil blends on engine performance parameters such as brake-specific fuel consumption, thermal efficiency, and exhaust emissions, including Carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and smoke. Additionally, combustion analysis techniques such as in-cylinder pressure measurement and heat release rate analysis are employed to gain insights into the combustion process with PHWP oil blends. The findings of this study contribute to the understanding of the feasibility and challenges associated with utilizing waste plastic oil as an alternative fuel in CRDI diesel engines, providing valuable insights for sustainable energy strategies in the transportation sector.
