The need of the substitute fuels in compression ignition engines has been the major requisite of the today’s world. Due to progressive diminution in crude oil and their subsequent environmental effects many researchers are working on various alternative fuels like biodiesel, methanol, alcohols, CNG, LPG, biogas. Fulfillment of the stringent emission norms is also a great concern as the fuel suggested should also offer the desired performance and should be economically and environmentally proven. Hence the oil extracted from the waste tyre is the biggest emanating fuel tested for its behavioral analysis when blended with diesel on single cylinder Variable compression ratio diesel engine. Trials are conducted with 100% diesel and then 10%, 25%, 35%, 50%, 60%, 75% and 90% TPO (tyre pyrolysis oil) blends with diesel with varying the load. It is observed that the various performance indicators like BP, IP and BMEP are boosted with rise in the proportion of TPO in the fuel oil for all loads. Increase in the BTE is found highest for moderate load up to 2.6 kg and maximum for TPO 90. Mechanical efficiency found to be maximum at TPO 35 at higher load. Lower specific fuel consumption obtained for TPO10 blend at low load and maximum at TPO 60. From the emission analysis it is found that CO emission tends to reduce up to moderate load, but increases consistently further with the load. HC emission found to be decreased with increase in TPO proportions with minimum for TPO 90 at all loading conditions. CO2 emission gradually increased with progressive rise in the load and increases rapidly for higher loads. NOx emission and smoke increased gradually with increase in the TPO proportion. Analyzing the performance of TPO for different proportions with diesel, TPO 90 is the better alternative to enhanced output and efficiency. Whereas for lower fuel consumption and emissions TPO 10 be recommended. Again it is also seen that moderate proportion of TPO (TPO35) gives highest cylinder pressure and reduction in the fragrant sulfur.
