Abstract | Better fuel economy, longer durability and higher reliability are the major factors which make diesel engine to play a vital role in various sectors like industrial, agricultural, power, construction etc. This causes a huge demand for energy and the cost of fossil fuel keeps on increasing. Also, the harmful emissions from diesel engine could cause severe air pollution, ozone depletion, and other health related problems. This provokes the researchers to find an alternate fuel to be used in compression ignition engine as a replacement for diesel fuel. Recently, fuel produced from waste plastics is gaining more attention due to its availability all over the world. It has been proven that oil produced from waste plastics have similar properties to that of diesel and works satisfactorily on diesel engine. Experimental results showed that brake thermal efficiency was comparatively lower and emissions were higher when plastic oil was used in diesel engine as fuel. Fishing in India is one of the major occupations for the people along the coastal line and India is the second largest producer of fish. In general, fishing net is used for catching fishes and it is usually made from nylon and High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). After prolonged use, the damaged fishing net was either taken to recycling process or dumped in ocean or disposed in waste landfill sites. It has been estimated that, approximately 6,40,000 tonnes of waste fishing nets are currently in the ocean causing severe threats to sea animals. The non-biodegradable nature of fishing net is causing severe land and water pollution. One of the ways to recycle the waste HDPE fishing net is to convert it into fuel through pyrolysis process. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
