Experimental Investigation of Sustainable Fuel Production from Waste Oil for Aviation

Abstract

Air travel is increasing as airports are being constructed or expanded. Living near large airports has raised concerns about the population's exposure to potentially harmful combustion products. Jet fuels are readily characterized in terms of their physical and chemical properties. Studies on animals and after occupational exposure address the health effects of fuel vapours and liquid fuel. Jet fuel combustion products are not as well understood in relation to those. The type, load and fuel of an engine have an impact on the emissions that an aircraft produces. The fuels utilized in jet aircraft by both military and commercial jet engines differ. Particles such as CO2, H₂O,CO, C, NOx, and a variety of organic compounds are released when jet fuel burns. As of now, a hydrocarbon (HC) component (indicator) unique to jet engines has not been discovered among the emitted hydrocarbons. It appears that no heavy metals nor halogenated chemicals come from jet engines. Here the study shows the waste oil has very good combustible properties and can be utilized for aviation needs.
