Abstract
Use of petroleum-based fuels is extensively considered unsustainable due to their finite resources and enhanced pollution load on the ambient environment. On the other hand, need for energy is increasing continuously with rapid increase in urbanization and industrialization. In this context, different waste derived fuels can be considered as potential solutions to this problem. Waste tyre is one of the major solid waste throughout the world. Pyrolysis, a thermo-chemical process can be considered as one of the attractive methods to address the problem of waste tyres, by offering an environmental and economical solution of converting waste tyres into useful products. In this regard, the current study is aimed to use JMETPO20 (80% Jatropha methyl ester +20% tyre pyrolysis oil) blend as replacement for diesel fuel. In the previous study, the optimum injection timing (IT) of 24.5° CA bTDC was found for the blend. In this study, test was conducted at optimum IT for two higher nozzle opening pressure and different combustion parameters were recorded, analyzed and compared with diesel and blend at standard operating parameters and presented in this paper.
