Abstract

In the early stages of the investigation, plastic oil was mixed with conventional fuel in various proportions, revealing that a 30% volume fraction of plastic oil was optimal when combined with diesel. Building on this, the current study incorporated biodiesel in a 30% volume fraction into the test sample (30PO+70D) at different blending ratios of 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%. The experimental effects implied B20 blend, representing 20% biodiesel in the test sample, led to reduced emissions compared to the baseline test sample blend. Although there was a slight decrease in performance and fuel consumption, particularly at larger loads, the addition of biodiesel showed a trend of reducing emissions. The power of the diesel locomotive tended to increase with higher biodiesel concentrations, despite biodiesel blends exhibiting delayed combustion. Notably, biodiesel blends demonstrated a reduction in smoke, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and carbon monoxide (CO) levels at maximum brake power. Considering these results, the B20 blend, consisting of plastic oil and diesel, presents itself as a shows potential applicant for future studies because of favorable performance, combustion characteristics, and cleaner emissions.
