Combined effect of compression ratio & diffuser at exhaust on performance of Single cylinder CI engine, fuelled with blends of Waste Plastic Oil and diesel-A review study

Internal Combustion Engine

Environmental degradation due to pollution with depletion of oil reserves is a big problem around the globe. Developing countries like India heavily depends on crude oil import. Diesel is the main transportation fuel in India so, finding a suitable fuel alternative to diesel is very much needed. Waste plastic oil is potential alternative for CI engines and more attention is focused in India because of its potential to generate largescale employment generation and relatively low environmental degradation. Back pressure, having a strong influence on engine efficiency and need to be minimized by using diffuser. Present study focuses on improving performance of diesel engine fuelled with waste plastic oil by using diffuser at exhaust and varying compression ratio. Taguchi optimization method will be used to get optimum combination of diffuser angle and compression ratio which give higher performance.
