 Experimental investigation of performance, emission and combustion characteristics of waste plastic pyrolysis oil blended with diethyl ether used as fuel for diesel engineJ. Devaraj, Y. Robinson and P. Ganapathi Energy, 2015, vol. 85, issue C, 304-309 Abstract: The oil obtained by pyrolysis of waste plastics can be used as an alternate fuel for diesel engine without making any modification to the engine. The WPPO (waste plastic pyrolysis oil) mixed with 5% and 10% DEE (diethyl ether) were used as fuels for single cylinder water cooled, DI engine and its performance, emission and combustion characteristics were found. The experimental results indicated the reduction in smoke levels with that of baseline waste plastic pyrolysis oil. The BTE (brake thermal efficiency) increased when compared to pure plastic pyrolysis oil and diesel. The pollutants such as CO (carbon monoxide) and NOx (nitrous oxide) were reduced in the blend. It was observed that addition of oxygenates had improved the combustion process and reduced the emissions. The investigation revealed that blending of DEE with plastic oil increases the Cetane rating which is superior to neat diesel.
