Abstract
Climate change and the depletion of fossil fuel reserves, it is important to utilize alternative fuels, which can help ease its impact on the environment. Besides, waste disposal is an important aspect to take into account, especially given the versatility and financial feasibility of synthetic polymers. The research in the article refers to the investigation of the synthetic fuel’s effectiveness, which is produced using waste synthetic polymer, and, due to the mixture of dimethyl ether in diesel engines, serves as an addition to this fuel. The performance and emission characteristics of biodiesel derived from synthetic rubber through the pyrolysis process are examined in this study. Furthermore, dimethyl ether is introduced as an additive at two different volume concentrations, specifically 25% and 50%, with the aim of improving the engine characteristics. The impact of these additives on the overall biodiesel performance and emissions is thoroughly investigated to provide insights into the potential benefits of utilizing synthetic rubber-derived biodiesel in combination with dimethyl ether in engine applications.
