Abstract


In the automotive sector, price of petroleum products and its increasing demand needs a substitute to meet the energy requirements. Due to fuel lean operation, direct injection diesel engines are commonly used compared to spark ignition engine. For DI diesel engine, commercial fuel (diesel) is the major fuel source. However, the demand of petroleum based fuel increases one side and on other side there is rapid depletion of fossil fuels. Extensive research is being made to pursuit for an alternate fuel to avoid fossil fuel dependence. Biofuels can be manufactured from edible feedstocks (sunflower, palm & peanut oil) and non-edible feedstocks (jatropha oil, mahua oil, pongamia oil).  The motivation of this work is to investigate the biofuel from non-edible oil from mahua seed and waste plastic oil performance on diesel engine. The advantage of non -edible biofuels compared to edible biofuels is that it doesn’t compete with the foodstuff and freely available in forest.  Energy recovery from waste plastics reduces the pollution and encouraging technique for waste management. The amount of hydrocarbon is rich in plastics which produce high calorific oil which can be used as a fuel with some additives. The literature study concludes that plastic oil derived from waste plastic as an alternate liquid fuel for diesel engine is probable
