“…This trend can be enlightened i.e., by increasing the fuel blend, the percentage of waste plastic oil (WPO) in the fuel mixture, can improve the combustion process by increasing oxygen quantity in the fuel. These outcomes in a more fulfilling combustion, leading to higher BTE and lower BSFC (Pawar et al, 2022). However, increasing the fuel blend beyond a certain point can lead to incomplete combustion due to the limited availability of oxygen, resulting in increased emissions of smoke, NOx, and CO, leading to a decrease in the performance index.…”

The excessive use of single-use plastic products in modern life has caused severe environmental, social, economic, and health consequences globally. Mostly all plastics manufactured are one-time-use materials that end up in landfills or as unmanageable garbage. This situation has led to the production of around 400 million tonnes of plastic waste per year, and if this trend continues, global production will reach up to 1100 million tonnes by 2050. India alone produced over 34.7 lakh tonnes per annum (TPA) of plastic waste, with only half of it being recycled or co-processed. As such, there is an urgent need to develop ways to reduce plastic waste. One possible solution is the use of waste plastic biofuel in engines, which has been shown to have promising results. The study aimed to analyse waste plastic oil using (Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry) GC-MS and (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) FTIR analysis to identify its chemical composition. The findings of the study revealed the presence of various chemical compounds, such as alcohol, hydroperoxide, carbonyl acid groups, ester, carboxylic acid, ketones, aldehyde groups, and others. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of alcohol, hydroperoxide, carbonyl acid groups, methyl and methylene groups, ester, carboxylic acid, ketones, aldehyde group, symmetric and asymmetric C-H bending, C-O stretch for ethers, carboxylic acids, and esters, and=C-H bending out for alkenes. The study further explains that primary plastic consumption and packaging lifetime have a significant impact on plastic waste generation. The research indicates the need to explore alternative ways to recycle and dispose of single-use plastics to mitigate its negative impact on the environment. Furthermore, this study analyses the statistical optimisation method to develop a model fit for engine behaviour using waste plastic biofuel on a single-cylinder (common rail direct injection engine) CRDi diesel engine using the (weighted aggregated sum product assessment) WASPAS approach. Additionally, the objective is to develop a model that can optimise the engine's performance while using waste plastic biofuel. The uncertainty analysis demonstrated that the experiment was carried out with a high degree of accuracy and the results were reliable. The study employed the WASPAS methodology to evaluate the performance of different (waste plastic oil) WPO samples, and the results showed that the optimal parametric setting to obtain the desired responses can be achieved with a fuel blend of 5%, load of 21 bar, and speed of 2000 RPM. However, the results demonstrate that the use of waste plastic biofuel can significantly improve engine performance, and the proposed optimisation model can accurately predict the engine's behaviour. The regression equation that was formulated showed a reasonable degree of agreement between the actual experimental results and the predicted values, thereby indicating the reliability of the experiment. Significant effects were observed from fuel blend, and speed, whereas load did not make a substantial contribution. The findings regarding the effect of parameters suggest that a reduction in fuel blend, and engine speed resulted in a decline in the performance index, while variations in load had little impact. The relationship between load and speed demonstrates that a rise in load and a reduction in speed contributed to enhanced combustion and a higher performance index. The interaction among fuel blend and speed, with a particular emphasis on the significance of reduced fuel blend and speed values in order to optimise the performance index. The findings of the analysis underlined the vitality of process parameters, specifically fuel blend and speed, wherein speed exhibited a significant impact on the outcomes. The study concludes that the use of waste plastic biofuel in engines can be an effective way to reduce plastic waste while improving engine performance. This study's findings can be applied to various engines to improve their performance while reducing plastic waste. All in all, the outcomes of the study make a substantial contribution to the advancement of scientific information regarding the properties of waste plastic oil as well as its combustion characteristics. This expands the potential for advanced breakthrough innovations in sustainable energy solutions and the conservation of the environment.

“…Also from Figure 11C with B20 BD and 25°bTDC at full load NO x emission was found 942, 965, and 991 ppm at CR17, CR19, and CR21, respectively. 17,18,[20][21][22]27 According to Figure 12A-C NO x emission increases with an increase in CR, but in the case of IT the minimum NO x emission was observed with IT 23°bTDC, whereas maximum NO x emission was observed in IT 21°b TDC this may be due to in-cylinder temperature and pressure increased in the premixed phase and close to stoichiometric air. 49 Also, for IT 25°bTDC the NO x emission was higher because more fuel was allowed before TDC resulting in more resistance time for the reaction and longer combustion duration due to a larger ignition delay.…”

The manuscript addressed experimental work related to microalgae‐based biodiesel blend B20, that is, 20% algae biodiesel and 80% diesel, as an alternative fuel as a possible source to power diesel engines. The physiochemical characteristics of this B20 blend were almost in line with diesel fuel as per American Society for Testing and Material standards. Coupled experimentation related to variations in compression ratio (CR) 17, 19, and 21 and fuel injection timing (IT) of 21°, 23°, and 25° before top dead center (bTDC) with load variations noted on diesel engines. We observed that, at full load, CR21 and 23° bTDC fuel IT, the brake thermal efficiency parameters rose significantly, whereas brake‐specific fuel consumption, and combusted flue gas temperatures also plummeted. The CO, HC, and smoke opacity emission for the B20 blend at CR21 and FIT23 has decreased by 30.52%, 33.33%, and 32.96%, respectively. At full load conditions, NOx emission for B20 biodiesel at CR21 was increased compared with the standard setting and compared with diesel it was increased by 6.46%.

“…This aspect of Cocklebur seed oil makes it unfavorable for human use and makes it to be a good source for biodiesel. Pawar et al, (2022) reported that biodiesel produced from Xanthium strumarium L. seed oil has properties similar to other biodiesel fuels and is as per ASTM standards. However, the amount of oil and the distribution of fatty acids in the oil are the main identifiers of oil quality for biodiesel.…”

Cocklebur is a very precious medicinal plant due to its biochemical contents with antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antioxidants. It can also be evaluated as a source of energy. Cocklebur seeds and seed oil is not edible and contains 67% more biomass than cotton. Therefore, it can be evaluated as a sustainable energy source. Recently, the use of cocklebur as biodiesel makes this plant a point of interest for researchers. However, more studies are needed for evaluating factors that affect the quality of this kind of oil for the desired application. The fatty acid profile of matured and immature oil of cocklebur whole fruits including seeds from Osmaniye province in Turkey was investigated in this study. Although the main fatty acid in the immature sample was oleic acid with 50.17%, its amount (25.96%) decreased in mature sample oil converting linoleic acid which is the major fatty acid of cocklebur seed oil. Mature fruit oil had a higher amount of USFA (81.34%) than immature fruit oil (56.09%). These results showed that maturation status significantly affected the concentration and rates of fatty acids in studied Cocklebur. This study will help international researchers evaluate qualified seed oils for application in industry and biodiesel production.
