    Capture and Characterization of Particulates from a Single-Cylinder Diesel Engine Fuelled with Refined Tire Pyrolysis Oil
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Mohan, A.; Madav, V.
    Crude tire pyrolysis oil (CTPO) was refined using the principle of selective adsorption and preferential solubility using silica gel as an adsorbent and petroleum ether as a diluent and combusted in a single-cylinder diesel engine. Particulate analysis was conducted in a single-cylinder diesel engine to understand the carbonaceous deposition in piston crowns and surfaces using various analytical techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Further, lubricating oil analysis was performed using a combination of ICP-AES, viscosity, flash, and fire point tests. The results showed that carbon deposition from upgraded tire pyrolysis oil is observed to be higher than diesel due to its high aromatic content. The high amount of carbon deposits from upgraded tire pyrolysis oil was attributed to the high amount of oxygenates in StTPO, which leads to increased polymerization and subsequent condensation on piston crown surfaces, which was then carbonized. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

    Study on Effect of Driving Pattern on Engine Parameters
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2025) Khan, A.A.; Arumuga Perumal, D.A.
    With continuous changes happening in a city’s infrastructure like construction of new roads, flyovers, metro rails, hundreds of new vehicles being bought everyday, etc., the traffic in a city is also rapidly increasing. This has forced the motor car drivers to change their driving behaviour. Different motorist driving in different patterns affects engine components to a different extent, so a study to understand the driving behaviour should be carried out at intervals of 4–5 years to establish critical design parameters for different components of the engine. This project has been undertaken to study the dispersion in various parameters affecting driving behaviour of different drivers. A study with 24 motorists of different age groups and professions has been conducted. Each motor driver had to drive the same passenger vehicle in predefined condition with parameters that critically affect engine components. The data was recorded from ECU through OBD port and a set of hardware and studied statistically. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2025.
