Abstract

The enormous rise in automobiles will lead to requirement of more alternative energy sources. The alternative energy may obtain from natural resources like bio-fuels. When energy is generated, oxides and nitrogen are released which are dangerous to the greenhouse emission. Biodiesel is an alternative to the conventional fuels. But it will create additional NOx in emissions. But when we make use of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR), there will be lessening in NOx emissions. This paper concentrates on influence of the EGR, Exhaust gas temperature (EGT) and emissions, NOx, CO, CO2, HC, and unburned hydrocarbons (UBHC). Single cylinder diesel engine equipped with EGR is examined for finding out the performance at part load condition and fuel is tested by maintaining engine at 1500rpm. The experiment shows considerable increase of fuel consumption using castor biodiesel, and decrease in exhaust gas temperature and emissions
