Comparison of emission NOx, CO, CO2 and smoke number of mixed waste plastic oil, n-Octanol and diesel with the blend ratio of (10%, 20% & 30%) in a single cylinder diesel engine

Abstract

Abstract According to this study, the combined NOx and Smoke Opacity of waste plastic oil and N-Octanol are higher than diesel fuel. To find the optimal combination, waste plastic oil was blended with diesel. The best blend (10%, 20%, and 30%) was contrasted with a blend of diesel and N-Octanol. Five load variations have been tested using a stationary, single-cylinder Kirloskar engine with a bore and stroke of 85 and 110 mm. The G-power was estimated using the G-Power tool v-3.1.9.7, and the sample size was 60. According to the tested experiments, the best blend, D50W30O20, had a NOx level of 2098 ppm for pure diesel and 2145 ppm for waste plastic oil. For neat diesel, the smoke opacity was 32.1. For waste plastic oil, 57.6, and the optimum blend, D50WPO40O10, 41.3. The group’s significance level of 0.000 (p0.05) indicates a meaningful difference. Within the investigation parameters, D50WPO30O20 had a NOx rating 82% higher than diesel and 47% higher for the waste plastic oil blend. When compared to diesel, the smoke opacity of the waste plastic oil blend was 16% higher, and the smoke opacity of D50WPO20O30 was 9% higher.
