Abstract
The process of converting waste plastic into value added fuels is explained as a viable solution for recycling of plastics. The Performance and emission analysis of multi cylinder petrol engine when fueled with petro plast fuel are investigated and compared with standard petrol. Petro plast fuel produced from waste plastics by pyrolysis process has been used. This process runs without oxygen and in high temperature of about 300°C which is why a reactor was fabricated to provide the required temperature for the reaction. Experiment has been conducted at a fixed engine speed of 2500 rpm and various loads of 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%. The impact of load on fuel consumption and exhaust gas emissions has been investigated and presented. The results indicate break thermal efficiency increased when used petro plast fuel. The petro plast fuel when used as fuel results in reduction of NOx , HC, CO2 , O2 and slightly increase in CO emission.
