Abstract Owing to the increased fuel crises and rapid growth of transportation sector, it is very much necessary to identify and alternative to petroleum feed stocks. On the other hand disposal of solid waste material raises the hazard of environmental pollution. In order to bridge these gaps, a pyrolysis batch reactor was designed and fabricated in the present investigation with an overall dimension of 400 X 200 X 458 cm and handling capacity of 10 kgs per cycle. The yield of TPO was optimized with reaction temperature to produce high quantity of gaseous outputs. Elemental analysis, Gas chromatography Mass spectrometry analysis and Fourier transform infrared analysis were carried out and found that limonene was the major compound in the TPO. The FT IR analysis also revealed the presence of aliphatic and aromatic compounds in the TPO. The physio-chemical properties of TPO were determined using Indian standard 1448 standards and were found to usable in internal combustion engine as treated TPO and blends of TPO with straight diesel. Keywords: Pyrolysis, Elemental analysis, Limonene, Calorific value, Sulphur.

PERFORMANCE AND EMISSION CHARACTERISTICS OF BIOGAS –PETROL DUAL FUEL IN SI EN...IAEME Publication
Towards the effort of reducing the dependency on petroleum fuel, one of the solutions is to use gaseous fuel as a partial supplement of liquid petrol fuel. In this experiment, four cylinder SI engine was tested with petrol as a fuel and petrol with partial substitution of biogas as fuel. Different percentages of biogas substitution in petrol were tested like B10 (90% Petrol +10% biogas), B20(80% Petrol +20% Biogas), B40(60%Petrol +40% Biogas). Test was conducted to study and compare the performance, emission and combustion characteristic of the engine for both the modes of engine operation. Biogas production was carried out using kitchen waste as a feedstock. Results clearly revealed that performance of the engine improved with the increases in amount of the gas substitution. Bsfc and brake thermal efficiency were found to improve. However emissions increased with the increases in the amount of gas substitution.

This work concerns a systematic study of IC engine operation with 100% biogas as fuel (as opposed to the dual-fuel mode) with particular emphasis on operational issues and the quest for high efficiency strategies.
As a first step, In Biogas CO2 does not help in combustion process but reduce the calorific value of biogas. H2S is in minor quantity but it has corrosive action on combustion chamber and also reduces calorific value of biogas. Also traces of moisture are to be removing for better thermal efficiency. So harmful gradients are removed and use only methane as a fuel.
Subsequently, the model of KINETIC GF is used to predict effect of different parameters such as compression ratio, spark timing and combustion durations on engine performance and efficiency.
The results show very high overall efficiencies with the manifold injection strategy. The main reasons are the higher volumetric efficiency and overall lean operation of the engine across the entire load range. Predictions show excellent agreement with measurements, enabling the model to be used as a tool for further study. Simulations suggest that a higher compression ratio (up to 13) and appropriate spark advance can lead to higher engine power output and efficiency.

Biogas as Alternate Fuel in Diesel Engines: A Literature ReviewIOSR Journals
Bio fuels derived from biomass are considered as good alternative to petroleum fuels. Biogas, a
biomass derived fuel can be used in internal combustion (IC) engines, because of its better mixing ability with
air and clean burning nature. Biogas is produced by anaerobic digestion of various organic substances such as
kitchen wastes, agricultural wastes, municipal solid wastes, cow dung etc., which offers low cost and low
emissions than any other secondary fuels. It can be a supplemented to liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and
compressed natural gas (CNG), if it is used in compressed form in cylinders. This paper reviews the current
status and perspectives of biogas production, including the purification & storage methods and its engine
applications. Lower hydrocarbon (HC), smoke and particulates emission has been reported in diesel engines
operating on biogas diesel dual fuel mode. Here through detailed literature review, the combustion
characteristics of biogas in I.C engines are investigated.
Biomass pyrolysis is a promising renewable sustainable source of fuels and petrochemical substitutes. It may help in compensating the progressive consumption of fossil-fuel reserves. The present article outlines biomass pyrolysis. Various types of biomass used for pyrolysis are encompassed, e.g., wood, agricultural residues, sewage. Categories of pyrolysis are outlined, e.g., flash, fast, and slow. Emphasis is laid on current and future trends in biomass pyrolysis, e.g., microwave pyrolysis, solar pyrolysis, plasma pyrolysis, hydrogen production via biomass pyrolysis, co-pyrolysis of biomass with synthetic polymers and sewage, selective preparation of high-valued chemicals, pyrolysis of exotic biomass (coffee grounds and cotton shells), comparison between algal and terrestrial biomass pyrolysis. Specific future prospects are investigated, e.g., preparation of supercapacitor biochar materials by one-pot one-step pyrolysis of biomass with other ingredients, and fabricating metallic catalysts embedded on biochar for removal of environmental contaminants. The authors predict that combining solar pyrolysis with hydrogen production would be the eco-friendliest and most energetically feasible process in the future. Since hydrogen is an ideal clean fuel, this process may share in limiting climate changes due to CO2 emissions.

Improved Concrete Properties Using Quarry Dust as Replacement for Natural SandIJERD Editor
Concrete plays a major role in the construction industry. Natural sand is a prime material used for
the preparation of concrete and also plays an important role in Mix Design. Now a day’s river erosion and other
environmental issues have led to the scarcity of river sand. The reduction in the sources of natural sand and the
requirement for reduction in the cost of concrete production has resulted in the increased need to find new
alternative materials to replace river sand so that excess river erosion is prevented and high strength concrete is
obtained at lower cost. One such material is Quarry stone dust: a by-product obtained during quarrying process.
Attempts have been made to study the suitability of Quarry dust as sand replacing material and it has been found
that Quarry dust improves the mechanical properties of concrete as well as elastic modulus. The optimum
compressive strength is achieved at the proportion of fine to coarse with 60:40 ratio

EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF COMBUSTION BEHAVIOUR IN DIESEL EN...Khatir NAIMA
The aim of this investigation is to evaluate the usability of waste polyethylene oil as an alternative fuel for diesel engines. The novel fuel is obtained by a pyrolysis process of waste polyethylene at 973 K. The obtained oil is tested in a single cylinder air cooled (TS1) direct injection diesel engine at 1500 rpm. Engine performances and exhaust pollutant emissions from Waste Polyethylene Oil (WPO) were analysed and compared to those obtained from the same engine fuelled with conventional diesel fuel. Results showed that the total fuel consumption of WPO is lower than that of neat diesel fuel due to the higher heating value of WPO. Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE) is improved for WPO especially at low load. The exhaust gas temperature is lower for WPO than that of diesel at low and full load. CO and UHC are found lower, while NOx emissions are higher at high loads. Furthermore, the use of numerical investigation permits to optimize the injection parameters, which can help to take advantages of WPO fuel. The simulation results suggest advancing the injection timing.

engine turned off. The performance of the engine using Methanol fuel compared to the performance of
engine with diesel fuel. Experimental results of Methanol and Diesel fuel are also compared.
Effect of Tyre Pyrolysis Oil (TPO) Blends on Performance of Single Cylinder D...rahulmonikasharma
Increasing industrialization and motorization led to a significant rise in demand of petroleum products. As these are the non-renewable resources, it will be troublesome to predict the availability of these resources in the future, resulting in uncertainty in its supply and price and is impacting growing economies like India importing 80% of the total demand of the petroleum products. Many attempts have been made by different researchers to find out alternate fuels for Internal Combustion engines. Many alternate fuels like Biodiesel, LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) and Alcohol are being used nowadays by different vehicles. In this context pyrolysis of scrap tyres can be used effectively to produce oil, thereby solving the problem of waste tyre disposal. In the present study, Experimental investigations were carried out to evaluate the performance and emission characteristics of a single cylinder diesel engine fueled by TPO10, TPO15, and TPO20 at a crank angle 260 before TDC (Top Dead Centre) and injection pressure of 200 bar keeping the blend quality by controlling the density and viscosity of tyre pyrolysis oil within permissible limit of euro IV diesel requirement. The performance and emission results were analyzed and compared with that of diesel fuel operation. The results of investigations indicate that the brake thermal efficiency of the TPO - DF blend decreases by 6 to 10%. CO emissions are slightly higher but well within permissible limit of euro IV emission standards. HC emissions are higher by about 25 to 35% at partial load whereas smoke opacity is lower by about 3% to 21% as compared to diesel fuel.

Parametric Optimization of Single Cylinder Diesel Engine for Pyrolysis Oil an...IOSR Journals
Abstract: An experimental study has been carried out for pyrolysis oil blended with diesel used in single
cylinder diesel engine. Pyrolysis oil is obtained from tire waste by pyrolysis process. Pyrolysis process is a
thermo-chemical decomposition of organic matter in absence of oxygen. Blending of pyrolysis oil with diesel in
maximum possible proportion helps to reduce the consumption of diesel fuel. In this study, the effects of
parameters i.e. injection timing, injection pressure, compression ratio, and load are taken as variable for
optimization. As the experiment required simultaneously optimization of four parameters with five levels,
taguchi method of optimization is used in this experiment. The results of the taguchi experiment identifies that
220 injection timing, injection pressure 200 bar, compression ratio 16 and engine load 20kg are optimum
parameter setting for lowest break specific fuel consumption. Engine performance is mostly influenced by
engine load and is least influenced by Compression ratio.

then they were added together to form a hybrid fiber reinforced concrete. Mechanical properties such as compressive, split tensile and
flexural strength were determined. The results show that hybrid fibers improve the compressive strength marginally as compared to
mono fibers. Whereas, hybridization improves split tensile strength and flexural strength noticeably.

Material management in construction – a case studyeSAT Journals
Abstract
The objective of the present study is to understand about all the problems occurring in the company because of improper application
of material management. In construction project operation, often there is a project cost variance in terms of the material, equipments,
manpower, subcontractor, overhead cost, and general condition. Material is the main component in construction projects. Therefore,
if the material management is not properly managed it will create a project cost variance. Project cost can be controlled by taking
corrective actions towards the cost variance. Therefore a methodology is used to diagnose and evaluate the procurement process
involved in material management and launch a continuous improvement was developed and applied. A thorough study was carried
out along with study of cases, surveys and interviews to professionals involved in this area. As a result, a methodology for diagnosis
and improvement was proposed and tested in selected projects. The results obtained show that the main problem of procurement is
related to schedule delays and lack of specified quality for the project. To prevent this situation it is often necessary to dedicate
important resources like money, personnel, time, etc. To monitor and control the process. A great potential for improvement was
detected if state of the art technologies such as, electronic mail, electronic data interchange (EDI), and analysis were applied to the
procurement process. These helped to eliminate the root causes for many types of problems that were detected.

Life cycle cost analysis of overlay for an urban road in bangaloreeSAT Journals
Abstract
Pavements are subjected to severe condition of stresses and weathering effects from the day they are constructed and opened to traffic
mainly due to its fatigue behavior and environmental effects. Therefore, pavement rehabilitation is one of the most important
components of entire road systems. This paper highlights the design of concrete pavement with added mono fibers like polypropylene,
steel and hybrid fibres for a widened portion of existing concrete pavement and various overlay alternatives for an existing
bituminous pavement in an urban road in Bangalore. Along with this, Life cycle cost analyses at these sections are done by Net
Present Value (NPV) method to identify the most feasible option. The results show that though the initial cost of construction of
concrete overlay is high, over a period of time it prove to be better than the bituminous overlay considering the whole life cycle cost.
The economic analysis also indicates that, out of the three fibre options, hybrid reinforced concrete would be economical without
compromising the performance of the pavement.

Laboratory investigation of expansive soil stabilized with natural inorganic ...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Soil stabilization has proven to be one of the oldest techniques to improve the soil properties. Literature review conducted revealed
that uses of natural inorganic stabilizers are found to be one of the best options for soil stabilization. In this regard an attempt has
been made to evaluate the influence of RBI-81 stabilizer on properties of black cotton soil through laboratory investigations. Black
cotton soil with varying percentages of RBI-81 viz., 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5 percent were studied for moisture density relationships
and strength behaviour of soils. Also the effect of curing period was evaluated as literature review clearly emphasized the strength
gain of soils stabilized with RBI-81 over a period of time. The results obtained shows that the unconfined compressive strength of
specimens treated with RBI-81 increased approximately by 250% for a curing period of 28 days as compared to virgin soil. Further
the CBR value improved approximately by 400%. The studies indicated an increasing trend for soil strength behaviour with
increasing percentage of RBI-81 suggesting its potential applications in soil stabilization.
Influence of reinforcement on the behavior of hollow concrete block masonry p...eSAT Journals
Abstract
Reinforced masonry was developed to exploit the strength potential of masonry and to solve its lack of tensile strength. Experimental
and analytical studies have been carried out to investigate the effect of reinforcement on the behavior of hollow concrete block
masonry prisms under compression and to predict ultimate failure compressive strength. In the numerical program, three dimensional
non-linear finite elements (FE) model based on the micro-modeling approach is developed for both unreinforced and reinforced
masonry prisms using ANSYS (14.5). The proposed FE model uses multi-linear stress-strain relationships to model the non-linear
behavior of hollow concrete block, mortar, and grout. Willam-Warnke’s five parameter failure theory has been adopted to model the
failure of masonry materials. The comparison of the numerical and experimental results indicates that the FE models can successfully
capture the highly nonlinear behavior of the physical specimens and accurately predict their strength and failure mechanisms.

Influence of compaction energy on soil stabilized with chemical stabilizereSAT Journals
Abstract
Increase in traffic along with heavier magnitude of wheel loads cause rapid deterioration in pavements. There is a need to improve
density, strength of soil subgrade and other pavement layers. In this study an attempt is made to improve the properties of locally
available loamy soil using twin approaches viz., i) increasing the compaction of soil and ii) treating the soil with chemical stabilizer.
Laboratory studies are carried out on both untreated and treated soil samples compacted by different compaction efforts. Studies
show that increase in compaction effort results in increase in density of soil. However in soil treated with chemical stabilizer, rate of
increase in density is not significant. The soil treated with chemical stabilizer exhibits improvement in both strength and performance
properties.

Abstract
Composite Circular hollow Steel tubes with and without GFRP infill for three different grades of Light weight concrete are tested for
ultimate load capacity and axial shortening , under Cyclic loading. Steel tubes are compared for different lengths, cross sections and
thickness. Specimens were tested separately after adopting Taguchi’s L9 (Latin Squares) Orthogonal array in order to save the initial
experimental cost on number of specimens and experimental duration. Analysis was carried out using ANN (Artificial Neural
Network) technique with the assistance of Mini Tab- a statistical soft tool. Comparison for predicted, experimental & ANN output is
obtained from linear regression plots. From this research study, it can be concluded that *Cross sectional area of steel tube has most
significant effect on ultimate load carrying capacity, *as length of steel tube increased- load carrying capacity decreased & *ANN
modeling predicted acceptable results. Thus ANN tool can be utilized for predicting ultimate load carrying capacity for composite

Evaluation of punching shear in flat slabseSAT Journals
Abstract
Flat-slab construction has been widely used in construction today because of many advantages that it offers. The basic philosophy in
the design of flat slab is to consider only gravity forces; this method ignores the effect of punching shear due to unbalanced moments
at the slab column junction which is critical. An attempt has been made to generate generalized design sheets which accounts both
punching shear due to gravity loads and unbalanced moments for cases (a) interior column; (b) edge column (bending perpendicular
to shorter edge); (c) edge column (bending parallel to shorter edge); (d) corner column. These design sheets are prepared as per
codal provisions of IS 456-2000. These design sheets will be helpful in calculating the shear reinforcement to be provided at the
critical section which is ignored in many design offices. Apart from its usefulness in evaluating punching shear and the necessary
shear reinforcement, the design sheets developed will enable the designer to fix the depth of flat slab during the initial phase of the
design.

Abstract
The development of watershed aims at productive utilization of all the available natural resources in the entire area extending from
ridge line to stream outlet. The per capita availability of land for cultivation has been decreasing over the years. Therefore, water and
the related land resources must be developed, utilized and managed in an integrated and comprehensive manner. Remote sensing and
GIS techniques are being increasingly used for planning, management and development of natural resources. The study area, Nallur
Amanikere watershed geographically lies between 110 38’ and 110 52’ N latitude and 760 30’ and 760 50’ E longitude with an area of
415.68 Sq. km. The thematic layers such as land use/land cover and soil maps were derived from remotely sensed data and overlayed
through ArcGIS software to assign the curve number on polygon wise. The daily rainfall data of six rain gauge stations in and around
the watershed (2001-2011) was used to estimate the daily runoff from the watershed using Soil Conservation Service - Curve Number
(SCS-CN) method. The runoff estimated from the SCS-CN model was then used to know the variation of runoff potential with different
land use/land cover and with different soil conditions.

Abstract The nonlinear Static procedure also well known as pushover analysis is method where in monotonically increasing loads are applied to the structure till the structure is unable to resist any further load. It is a popular tool for seismic performance evaluation of existing and new structures. In literature lot of research has been carried out on conventional pushover analysis and after knowing deficiency efforts have been made to improve it. But actual test results to verify the analytically obtained pushover results are rarely available. It has been found that some amount of variation is always expected to exist in seismic demand prediction of pushover analysis. Initial study is carried out by considering user defined hinge properties and default hinge length. Attempt is being made to assess the variation of pushover analysis results by considering user defined hinge properties and various hinge length formulations available in literature and results compared with experimentally obtained results based on test carried out on a G+2 storied RCC framed structure. For the present study two geometric models viz bare frame and rigid frame model is considered and it is found that the results of pushover analysis are very sensitive to geometric model and hinge length adopted.

Abstract
Depletion of natural resources and aggregate quarries for the road construction is a serious problem to procure materials. Hence
recycling or reuse of material is beneficial. On emphasizing development in sustainable construction in the present era, recycling of
asphalt pavements is one of the effective and proven rehabilitation processes. For the laboratory investigations reclaimed asphalt
pavement (RAP) from NH-4 and crumb rubber modified binder (CRMB-55) was used. Foundry waste was used as a replacement to
conventional filler. Laboratory tests were conducted on asphalt concrete mixes with 30, 40, 50, and 60 percent replacement with RAP.
These test results were compared with conventional mixes and asphalt concrete mixes with complete binder extracted RAP
aggregates. Mix design was carried out by Marshall Method. The Marshall Tests indicated highest stability values for asphalt
concrete (AC) mixes with 60% RAP. The optimum binder content (OBC) decreased with increased in RAP in AC mixes. The Indirect
Tensile Strength (ITS) for AC mixes with RAP also was found to be higher when compared to conventional AC mixes at 300C.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!

Abstract
Owing to the increased fuel crises and rapid growth of transportation sector, it is very much necessary to identify and alternative
to petroleum feed stocks. On the other hand disposal of solid waste material raises the hazard of environmental pollution. In order
to bridge these gaps, a pyrolysis batch reactor was designed and fabricated in the present investigation with an overall dimension
of 400 X 200 X 458 cm and handling capacity of 10 kgs per cycle. The yield of TPO was optimized with reaction temperature to
produce high quantity of gaseous outputs. Elemental analysis, Gas chromatography Mass spectrometry analysis and Fourier
transform infrared analysis were carried out and found that limonene was the major compound in the TPO. The FT IR analysis
also revealed the presence of aliphatic and aromatic compounds in the TPO. The physio-chemical properties of TPO were
determined using Indian standard 1448 standards and were found to usable in internal combustion engine as treated TPO and
blends of TPO with straight diesel.

1. INTRODUCTION
The transportation sector faces a major crisis and huge
shortage of petroleum-diesel for its application. It is very
much necessary for the researchers to find an alternative
way for the fuel to be used effectively in internal
combustion engines. With similar or better maneuverability
and efficiencies on comparison with diesel on the other
hand, disposal of solid waste material causes air, water and
soil pollution to a great extent which may be due to higher
population density and increased industries in many
developing countries. Therefore, it is necessary to bridge the
gap between solid waste management and fuel for internal
combustion engine. It was estimated that many developing
and developed countries generate nearly 32 tons of unusable
tires every year which was due to enhanced development in
the transportation sector. An automobile tire contains non-
biodegradable combination of many rubber, metal strips &
cords, carbon black and other inorganic and organic
materials. It is extremely difficult to dispose the above
combinations of material without causing environmental
hazards. There are many methods illustrated for solid waste
disposal such as retreading, oxidizing, hydrogenation and
high temperature pyrolysis. Generally pyrolysis refers to
decomposition of inorganic and organic material at elevated
temperature between 350o
C to 750o
C in the absence of
oxygen and the resulting compounds of these reactions may
be in the form of liquid, solid and gaseous state. This
transition stage may be temporary or permanent which
yields solid char which is used as landfills and the gases are
used are used in automotive fuels on condensation [3]. A
new approach in the heating system was developed to
recover the hydrocarbons from waste tire in a fixed bed
reactor under inert atmosphere. It was noticed that at 475o
C,
the pyrolysis reaction yielded optimum liquid/gas at a vapor
residence of 5 sec. The physio-chemical analysis includes
elemental analysis, gas chromatography mass spectrometry,
Fourier transform infrared analysis and distillation showed
the presence of hydrocarbon limonene, short and long chain
alkyl, aromatic hydrocarbons in various quantities [11-13].
Bicycle waste tire was used in a semi batch pyrolytic reactor
at 450o
C to 650o
C with a heating rate of 20o
C per min which
yield optimum liquid output at 600o
C. The reaction time,
reaction temperature and yield of liquid/gas were analyzed
in detail and the TPO was characterized using thermo
gravity, FT IR, and GC MS techniques. It was noticed that
the calorific value of TPO was very much comparable with
straight diesel and can be used in IC engine without any
modifications [4]. Few studies were also reported mainly on
thermogravimetric analysis because that was the only
technique available in earlier period to estimate the
conversion rate of solid to liquid and liquid to gases in the
tire pyrolysis process. This process showed weight loss
pattern at different temperature of pyrolysis process which
may be evident as the decomposition procedure were
styrene butadiene rubber decomposed at higher temperature.
Tire pyrolysis was considered to be non-conventional
method for waste disposal in which the reaction was
completed at 550o
C of reaction temperature. It was

suggested that pyrolysis was very much suitable in
recovering oil from waste tires and the proximate and
elemental analysis revealed that the oil was most suited for
the usage in internal combustion engine. In this process the
solid residue of 40%, liquid residue of 50% and gaseous
residue of 10% were noticed [1,14,17].
In the present experimental study, the design and fabrication
of tire pyrolysis batch reactor was carried out and
characterization of TPO was analyzed using GC/MS, FT IR
and elemental analysis. The state of change from solid to
liquid and liquid to gases were noticed at various
temperatures conditions. The physio-chemical properties of
TPO and its blend with straight diesel were also studied in
detail to understand its application in internal combustion
engine.
2. MATERIALS AND METHODS
20 kgs of waste automotive tire were collected from a local
vendor in Chennai. The major composition of waste tire was
found to be vulcanized rubber, metal cords and beadings,
carbon black, sulphur, oxides of zinc and textile fabric as
detailed in Table (1) with the comparison of LMV’s and
HMV’s tires. The metal beading in the tire was carefully
removed and made into small square pieces at 4cm X 4cm
with the help of cutting instruments. The waste rubber
pieces were washed continuously in the flowing water for
1hr at 45o
c to remove the impurities and coating materials.
This process was repeated for two more times to confirm the
removal of impurities which could affect the pyrolysis
process [2]. The Figure (1) shows the block flow diagram of
recovering the TPO from waste tire in the pyrolysis batch
reactor. The reaction yielded three compounds namely solid
char, TPO and gases.
Fig 1 Block diagram for TPO recovery
The distillation process was carried out on the raw TPO for
its usage in internal combustion engine. The composition of
waste tire used in this experimental investigation is given in
Table (1) with the comparison of LMV’s and HMV’s tires.
It can be noticed that the content of rubber was similar were
as the sulphur content was 0.3% higher. All the other
materials were found to be similar to LMV’s and HMV’s
tire as shown in Table (1). Physio-chemical analysis,
Elemental analysis, Gas chromatography Mass spectrometry
and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry analyses were
carried out on the tire pyrolysis oil to understand its
properties and characteristics for its usage in internal
combustion engine. JEOL Gate GC Mate 2 data system with
high resolution and double focusing type and Fourier
transform infrared spectrometry were used to study the
GC/MS pattern and FTIR pattern respectively.

3. EXPERIMENTATION
The pyrolysis batch reactor was designed using Catia
software with the overall dimension of 400 X 200 X 458
cms as shown in the Figure (2). The reactor consists of two
cylinders; a convergent top, exhaust chute, condensation
chamber, L shaped oil outlet, three induction coil and a
temperature controller. Stainless sheet metal was used for
inner and outer cylinders which are placed over 3 heating
induction coils. The generation of heat was through power
supply which can elevate the temperature upto 750o
C by an
increment of 15o
C/min.
The inner and outer cylinders are separated by 20mm glass
wool which acts as an insulator to reduce the wastage of
heat energy. A metal chute of 20mm diameter, inclined at
12o
was connected to the reactor outlet and directed towards
the condensation chamber as shown in Figure (3). The
condensation chamber was filled with 13 liters of cold water
to convert the smoke/gas into TPO. After condensation, the
TPO occupies the upper layer in the condensation chamber
and are separated from water with the help of L shaped
metallic arrangement [5,10]. The detailed cross-sectional
view and actual pictorial view of the pyrolysis batch reactor
is shown in Figure (3).

The raw tire pyrolysis oil was treated in three stages namely
de-moisturizing, de-sulphurisation, and distillation process
to remove excess moisture, sulphur and sludge respectively
before its usage in compression ignition engine. During the
de-moisturizing process, the raw TPO was heated upto
125o
C to remove excess moisture which was followed by
de-sulphurisation process by adding 10% concentrated
H2SO4 at 70o
C, 250 rpm for 24 hrs. During this settling
period, the impurities and sulphur content is formed as
sludge and occupies the bottom layer. The treated TPO was
carefully separated from the sludge and subjected to
distillation process upto 240o
C. By this process, 92% of
TPO was recovered which can be used in compression
ignition engine [6,8].
4. RESULT AND DISCUSSIONS
4.1 Effect of Reactor Temperature on the Products
Yield
The Table (2) shows the variation in yield of solid char,
liquid and gases at 300o
C, 350o
C, 400o
C and 450o
C
respectively on the pyrolysis batch reactor. It was noticed
the yield of soil char was reduced with the increase in
temperature (i.e) yield of solid char at 300o
C, 350o
C, 400o
C
and 450o
C was found to be 47.5, 45.5, 45.0 and 41.5 % by
weight respectively. The yield of liquid was also almost
similar to solid char showing very minimal variations. The
gases yield was found to be higher with the increase in
temperature of the reactor which may be due to change in
transition state at higher temperature. At 300o
C, 350o
C,
400o
C and 450o
C of reactor temperature, the gas yield was
noticed to be 6.5, 10.0, 12.5 and 18.5% by weight
respectively. Figure (4) also exhibited the yield of gases was
increased with reduction in solid char and liquid at elevated
temperatures [16].

GC/MS analysis was carried out using JEOL Gate GC mate
2 to identify the various compounds present in TPO. 2 ml of
TPO was injected into the spectrometry with a residence
period of 6 sec. The GC/MS mass spectrum showed the
presence of 12 different compounds at various retention
times. The peaks of the of the GC/MS mass spectrum were
detailed as fragmentation patterns and compared with
standard NIST 1 and 2 libraries for the identification of
compounds. Various peaks were seen on the mass spectrum
between retention time 5.55 and 19.15 min. RT 18.95
showed a highest peak of limonene with scan 716 and ions
2532. Limonene was considered to be the major compound
of TPO as it is product of pyrolysing poly-isoprene [7].
Other major peaks were seen at retention time 17.17 and
5.55 which showed the presence of Bicyclo [2.2.1] heptan-
2-one, 3-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-1 7,7-trimethyl and
Cyclohexane 3 methyl-6-(1-methylethenyl) (3R-Trans)
respectively in prominent quantities. Other than the major
compounds Naphthalene, 1,2,4a,5,8,8a-hexahydro ,4,7-
dimethyl-1-(1-methylethyl) and Tricyclo [5.3.1.1(2,6)]
dodecan-11-ol,11-methyl-12-methylene were also seen in
the fragmentation pattern. The GC/MS mass spectrum
generally revealed that tire pyrolysis oil mainly contain
aliphatic and aromatic compounds with concentrations of
46.2% and 30.9% respectively. The gas chromatography
mass spectrum is shown in Figure (5) and the various
compounds present in the TPO is given in Table (4). The
Fourier transform infrared analysis supports the GC/MS data
[7,9].

Table (5) showed the presence of various functional group
with respect to the wave-length frequency of Fourier
transform infrared analysis. From the wave length spectrum
is can be noticed that tire pyrolysis oil mainly contains
aliphatic and aromatic compounds between 1380 cm-1 and
1820cm-1 which was also revealed by GC/MS analysis. C-H
stretch and C-H bend was also seen between 2720-2940 cm-
1 and 2985-3015 cm-1 wave length of FT IR analysis. The
FT IR analysis also revealed the presence of alkenes,
amines, alkanes, aldehydes and phenyl rings in prominent
quantities which were favorable to be used as fuel in internal
combustion engine [15].

The physio-chemical properties of tire pyrolysis oil in
comparison with straight diesel and waste plastic oil are
shown in Table (6). Indian standard 1448 testing method
was adopted to determine properties like density, kinematic
viscosity, flash & fire point, calorific value, sulphur content,
carbon residue, ash content and cetane index. The density of
TPO was found to be 934 at 15o
C which was comparably
higher than straight diesel and WPO. The kinematic
viscosity also showed a significant increase on comparing
with straight diesel and WPO. The flash & fire point was
found to be 44o
C & 51o
C were as straight diesel and WPO
represented 50o
C & 56o
C and 42o
C & 45o
C respectively.
The gross calorific value of TPO laid in-between straight
diesel and WPO but the sulphur content showed an
enormous increase by more than 21.3% than straight diesel
which confirms the necessity of de-sulphurisation process.
The cetane index was found to be 54 which were higher than
straight diesel and lower than WPO. The pH value of TPO
was noticed to be marginally acidic which make it difficult
to handle and storage [6,15].
The blends of TPO with straight diesel at 5%, 10%, 20%
and 30% are shown in Table (7) which gives us an idea of
its usage in internal combustion engines. It can be seen that
with increase in tire pyrolysis blend with straight diesel,
density, kinematic viscosity, flash & fire point, sulphur
content and carbon residue was increased were as gross
calorific value and cetane index represented a decreasing
trend. From the table it is evident that more quantity of TPO
will be required to get a similar power output of straight
diesel.
5. CONCLUSION
From the present experimental investigation, following
conclusions were derived,
Pyrolysis process was one of the best methods to treat
waste tire under solid waste management technique.
A pyrolysis batch reactor was successfully designed and
fabricated with a handling capacity of 10 kgs per cycle
and the overall yield of TPO was found to be 42%.Yield
of TPO was noticed at higher levels with the increase in
temperature above 450o
C.
De-moisturizing, de-sulphurisation, and distillation
process were carried out to remove excess moisture,
sulphur removal and sludge isolation in the presence of
10% concentrated H2SO4. By this process 92% of
distilled TPO was recovered.
The elemental analysis revealed the presence of carbon,
hydrogen, sulphur and oxygen at 81.48%, 6.22%, 1.68%
and 7.69% respectively.
The GC/MS analysis showed evidence of Limonene
presence at major quantity along with many aliphatic and
aromatic compounds with FT IR analysis as
confirmatory and support.
The physio-chemical properties of treated TPO were
found to be comparable with straight diesel with higher
sulphur content. The blends of TPO and straight diesel
also showed improvements in density, kinematic
viscosity, flash & fire point and carbon residue with a
marginal decrease in cetane index and calorific value.
