Abstract

Most scientists have conducted numerous biofuel laboratory experiments to find an alternative to diesel fuel. They showed that the car emission of biofuel is lower than fuel oil, but the emission of nitrogen is higher. Incomplete hydrocarbons (HC) and fuel burning haze. Effective method to remove NOx from biodiesel fuel engines is the “Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR)” which reduces combustion temperatures and oxygen levels in combustion. However, EGR helps to boost smoke opacity. Cold EGR has been used in the project to solve higher NOx emissions through the use of biodiesel. The present study is aimed at investigating the combined use of biological diesel and EGR in all controlled emission by diesel engines. The experimental project included the use of a single-cylinder air-cooled diesel injection motor and the installation of a cold EGR system. Various emissions and smoke visibility measurements have been performed. Motors like BTE and BSEC were also tested for engine output. For engine output, even at a maximum charge, the EGR rate of 15%, with a load rate of up to 40% and the EGR rate of 25–30%, without any noticeable smoke or BSEC density, was very good in these comprehensive test results.
