Abstract

The Experiments on short-term engine operation have shown that waste cooking oil is a desirable replacement for compression ignition engines. The study used blends of waste cooking oil in a long-term endurance test. in order to determine the long-term effects of burning used cooking oil. The results of the study showed that the operating surface of the engine head had very little wear and tear. Nevertheless, the durability test using blends of waste cooking oil and diesel is carried out. Because it has the highest fuel oxygen content, the lowest cetane number, DF65WCO20Pe20, has the longest explosion delay and the shortest burning time. Deposits in engine heads are measured and contrasted with emulsion fuels. At the same locations, a qualitative investigation is carried out using scanning electron microscopy techniques. Visual inspection revealed certain deposits on engine heads when running on all fuels, according to the investigation's conclusions. According to the study, DF95WCO5 created more carbon deposits on the engine head than DF65WCO20Pe20 and DF when SEM and EDS are used.
