Abstract: In contemporary times, plastic waste recycling has emerged as a crucial trend, presenting significant potential for plastic reformulation and recyclability. Waste plastic, owing to its high calorific value and abundance, serves as a promising energy source. Through the pyrolysis process, plastic waste can be converted into pyrolysis oil, which exhibits properties akin to conventional diesel fuel and can be seamlessly integrated into engines. This study investigates the synthesis of waste plastic oil (WPO) via pyrolysis using a diverse feedstock comprising various types and grades of plastic. The resulting oil, resembling diesel in characteristics, is evaluated for its performance in a compression ignition (CI) engine equipped with a variable compression ratio.Experimental tests are conducted using blends of WPO and diesel ranging from 0% to 100%, across different engine loads spanning from partial to full load conditions (2 kg to 12 kg). The combustion characteristics, engine performance metrics, and emission profiles are meticulously analyzed and compared against those of conventional diesel fuel. The findings indicate that the engine exhibits comparable performance with WPO at higher loads, akin to that with diesel. However, at lower loads, an extended delay period is observed, contributing to engine stabilization.These results underscore the potential of renewable plastic oil as a viable alternative fuel for diesel engine applications, particularly under specific operating conditions. The study provides valuable insights into the feasibility and performance implications of integrating waste plastic oil into compression ignition engines, contributing to the ongoing discourse on sustainable energy solutions and waste management practices.
