Abstract
formation. HC emissions from both HDPE and PP were higher than diesel due to increased fuel supply, hindering chemical bond breakdown. Similarly, CO emissions increased for HDPE and PP due to insufficient time for complete combustion, with HDPE producing more CO due to its heavy composites and lower cetane index. Smoke emissions from both HDPE and PP surpassed diesel, attributed to lower oxygen and higher sulphur content, leading to increased sulphurate particulate matter formation, and lower fuel density referring to the high amount of fuel supplied to the engine.
