Influential Investigation of Alumina Nano-additives on the Alternative Energy Recovered from Waste Materials for Engine Applications

Fossil fuels like crude oil or natural gas must be saved in order to support
current economic development. In addition to traditional sources of energy like

coal and oil, there are several renewable options available, such as biomass, hy-
droelectricity, and wind power. Another significant consideration is the use of an

effective approach for disposing of garbage. There has been a massive growth in
the manufacture of all types of goods, which in turn generates garbage. Plastics
have long been a popular material for a variety of products because of their high
adaptability and cheap cost. Plastic waste disposal and a lack of conventional
fuel are two issues that this article aims to solve in an effort to promote a more
sustainable environment. The waste plastic fuel recovered from different grade
of waste plastics with alumina (Al2
O3
) was not investigated for potential use in
diesel engines. In this analysis, a combination of 20% plastic fuel with standard
diesel forms a base fuel as WME20 blend. Alumina additives at concentrations of
20 ppm, 40 ppm, and 60 ppm were combined with WME20 waste plastic fuel as
an alternative fuel source in order to improve the engines’ performance.
