Production of waste plastic fuel oil and experimentation analysis on engine performance with fuel blends

There is an increment in the production and utilization of plastics as the days pass by. Plastics of all kind should be well disposed after usage. It is important to deal with this plastic waste management. This prompts pyrolysis, which is a method of converting waste plastic into useful fuel oil. This project deals with one such attempt to convert waste plastics into fuel oil. The obtained oil seems to have similar physical properties as the fuel used in aviation industry and is test on an engine to study its performance. The experimental results show that the usage of fuel oil in Engine can result in slight variation in the performance, without any engine modifications. Thus the issues faced by dumping of plastic wastes and increasing fuel demand could be eliminated by effective conversion of waste to energy in the form of fuel.
