Around the world, initiatives are being taken to replace gasoline and diesel fuel due to the impact of the fossil fuel crisis, increase in oil price, and the adoption of stringent emission norms. Increase in energy demand, stringent emission norms and depletion of oil resources led the researchers to find alternative fuels for internal combustion engines. Many alternate fuels like Alcohols, Biodiesel, methanol, ethanol, LPG, CNG etc have been already commercialized in the transport sector. In this context, pyrolysis of solid waste is currently receiving renewed interest. The disposal of waste...

An experimental study has been carried out for pyrolysis oil and diesel blend was used in single cylinder, 4-stroke diesel engine. Pyrolysis oil is obtained from tire waste by pyrolysis process. Pyrolysis process is a therm-o-chemical decomposition of organic matter in absence of oxygen. Blending of pyrolysis oil with diesel helps to reduce the consumption of diesel fuel. Diesel engine is already optimized for particular fuel i.e. diesel. So, it does not give optimum performance for pyrolysis and diesel blend. In this study, parameters i.e. load, blend proportion and injection pressure were...
