Abstract

The quantity of fossil fuel is reducing day by day as the energy requirement is escalating at an exponential
rate and the fossil fuel availability is scarce. Also the use of plastic creates problem of disposing it as it is non bio
degradable. The present study deals with overcoming both problems simultaneously by studying the applicability of
Waste Plastic Oil as a Diesel oil substitute on a VCR engine fueled with Waste plastic oil and its blends with diesel oil,
as most industrial application involves diesel engine. Diffuser shaped exhaust manifold is used for improving engine
performance and emission with half cone angles of 10°, 12.5°. Taguchi method of Design of Experiments is used for
reducing the number of experiments and getting optimum parameter set. The parameters which has been optimized by
using Taguchi method are; BTHE, SFC, CO, HC & NOX
