Abstract
This experimental study examines how it affects a diesel engine's combustion, emissions, and performance. Investigators have identified that plastic trash poses a considerable threat to the ecology. It is imperative to effectively mitigate plastic waste, as the increasing population correlates with a rise in plastic refuse. This study evaluates the performance properties of diesel in comparison to a 20% blend of LDPO20 and manganese oxide nanofluids at dosages of 50ppm, and 100ppm. Plastic oil was generated via pyrolysis, and its fuel properties, fatty acid composition, and presence of useful compounds were evaluated experimentally. Chemical methods are employed to synthesise manganese dioxide. Using an ultrasonicator and Tween 20 surfactant, to mix LPO20 and MnO nanofluid equally. The fuel's igniting capabilities were enhanced by the augmentation of nanoparticles, which increased the ratio of surface area to actual volume. The results indicated that a combination of plastic oil improves BTE and reduces BSFC. The testing findings indicated that nanofluids reduced NOx emissions, HC, CO emissions, and smoke compared to LDPO20. The goal is to achieve a uniform combination of LPO20 and MnO nanofluid using an ultrasonicator and Tween 20 surfactant.
