Engine Response and Emission Optimization of Ceramic-Oxide-Doped Diesel Blends with Reclaimed Waste Energy

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Without changing any of its constituents, tyre pyrolysis oil energy (TPOE) has frequently been subjected to Diesel-RK (D-RK) analyses in diesel engines in an effort to serve as a substitute for diesel fuel. Environmentally beneficial TPOE features, such as biodegradability, renewability, and ease and safety of handling, are highly sought after. In addition to its beneficial aspects, TOPE also has drawbacks. The BTE and SFC of performance metrics, as well as the smoke and NOx of emission parameters of alternative fuel, do not meet the emission limits specified by regulatory authorities. Nano-additions have been shown to be effective for boosting fuel quality for improved performance and production characteristics. In this study, TPOE–diesel blends are blended with ceramic oxide (CeO2 of 50 and 100 ppm) nanoparticles and subjected to a performance and production investigation of engine working physiognomies in diesel engines. For the blend TPOE10CDF80 + D, the numerical results show a positive outcome of a 1.0% rise in BTE, a 2.0% decrease in SFC, a 17.7% decrease in smoke emission, and an 18.2% increase in NOx emission as compared to diesel fuel (CDF).
