This study investigated the effects of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) on emissions and combustion characteristics of a diesel engine running on biodiesel from waste cooking oil (WCO) and diesel. Biodiesel was produced through alkali-catalyzed transesterification of WCO. The engine was tested with biodiesel-diesel blends (B20, B40, B80, B100) with and without 30% EGR. EGR effectively reduced NOx emissions for all fuels by lowering combustion temperatures but increased hydrocarbon, smoke and CO emissions due to reduced oxygen. B20 generally had the lowest emissions. While EGR increased fuel consumption, it was very effective at reducing NOx to
Exhaust Gas Recirculation is an effective method for NOx control. The exhaust gases mainly consist of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, etc. and the mixture has higher specific heat compared to atmospheric air. Re-circulated exhaust gas displaces fresh air entering the combustion chamber with carbon dioxide and water vapor present in engine exhaust. As a consequence of this air displacement, lower amount of oxygen in the intake mixture is available for combustion. Reduced oxygen available for combustion lowers the effective air–fuel ratio. This effective reduction in air–fuel ratio affects exhaust emissions

Combine Effect of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and Varying Inlet Air Press...IOSR Journals
Abstract: To meet stringent vehicular exhaust emission norms worldwide, several exhaust pre-treatment and
post treatment techniques have been employed in modern engines. Also concern of environmental pollution and
energy crisis all over the world have caused the research attention on reduction of diesel engine exhaust
emissions and saving of energy simultaneously. This investigation mainly focuses on reducing exhaust emission
and energy saving by investigating diesel combustion with neat diesel fuel and a new attachment of pressurized
inlet air with Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system. Experiment was conducted in a four stroke direct
injection water cooled constant speed diesel engine with pressurize inlet air attachment and EGR system, which
is typically used in agricultural farm machinery. EGR was applied to the experimental engine separately and
also with varying pressure of inlet air. In this study, compressor was used to pressurize the inlet air. The
experiments were carried out to experimentally evaluate the performance and emissions for combine effect
different EGR rates and varying inlet air pressure of the engine. Emissions of hydrocarbon (HC), NOx, carbon
monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and temperature of the exhaust gas were measured. Performance
parameters such as Brake thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption (BSFC) were calculated. It was
found that combined effect of pressurize inlet air attachment and EGR system provided better result on engine
performance than individual EGR effect. Reductions in NOx and exhaust gas temperature were observed but
emissions of HC, CO and CO2 were found to have increased with combine usage of EGR and inlet air pressure.
Thus the modified engine provides more NOx reduction and better fuel economy without reducing useful
characteristics (brake power, brake thermal efficiency etc) of the engine.
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR):
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is an emission control that lowers the amount of nitrogen oxides (NO_x) formed during combustion.
Allows burned exhaust gases to enter the engine intake manifold.
When exhaust gases are added to the air fuel mixture, they decrease peak combustion temperatures
NOx formation is depends upon temperature
When combustion flame front temperatures exceed 2500°F (1370°C), NO_x formation increases dramatically.
The amounts of NO_x formed at temperatures below 2500°F (1370°C) can be controlled in the exhaust by a catalyst.
To handle the amounts generated above 2500°F (1370°C), the following are some methods that have been used to lower NO_x formation:
Enrich the air–fuel mixture.
Lower the compression ratio.
Dilute the air–fuel mixture (EGR).

For the duration of the summer, we completely instrumented a small engine given to us by a private company to convert it to run completely on natural gas. During the summer we installed all sorts of instrumentation including thermo couplesr, CO2 sensors, High preforming heaters, fabricated a simple intake system. The importance Of doing this is because we needed to know exactly what is going on with the engine and monitor even the slightest change. when trying to run an engine on a different fuel source all the temperatures and pressures in different chambers have to be at an specific point so in instrumenting the engine is a mandatory task. At this point the engine is running well but there seems to be some discrepancies between the meters on installed on the engine. After some further calculations then we may be able to get the engine up and running for a small amount of time.

THE INFLUENCE OF CETANE NUMBER AND OXYGEN CONTENT IN THE PERFORMANCE AND EMIS...IAEME Publication
Waste plastic pyrolysis oil (WPPO) and ethanol are attractive renewable energy
sources, as ethanol has a high content of oxygen. However, for this particular study,
direct blending of conventional diesel, WPPO, ethanol and 2-ethyl hexyl nitrate (EHN)
was attempted. The purpose was, firstly, to improve the combustion, ignition quality,
performance and emission characteristics of the WPPO blends. Secondly, EHN has the
potential to reduce emissions of CO, CO2, UHC, NOX and PM. Thirdly, ethanol
improves viscosity and miscibility of biodiesel blends, besides increasing the oxygen
content of WPPO. Five mixing ratios were used in the following order,
50/WPPO25/E25, 60/WPPO20/E20, 70/WPPO15/E15, 80/WPPO10/E10 and
90/WPPO5/E5 for conventional diesel (CD), WPPO and ethanol and respectively.
However, for EHN the mixing ratio was determined by the total quantity of blended fuel
and put at 0.01 %. Complete miscibility was observed with no phase separation allowed
from the blended mixtures throughout the experiment. Performance and emission
characteristics of a stationary single cylinder water-cooled diesel power generator
were evaluated. The results obtained were compared carefully to ASTM standards and
discussed using tables and graph figure curves. The conclusion was that ethanol and
EHN can be used in diesel engine power generators as an alternative fuel to help
improve cetane numbers and to increase the oxygen content without or with
modification with WPPO blends. This is due to the densities 792 kg/m3
, 963 kg/m3
, 825
kg/m3 for WPPO, ethanol and EHN respectively, which are close to CD fuel at 845
kg/m3
. The addition of EHN, reduced emissions and improved engine performance so
that it equalled that of CD fuel
Investigation of engine performance, combustion, and emissions using waste t...Adib Bin Rashid
This work investigated engine performance and emissions using waste tire oil-diesel-biodiesel blends. A sustainable fuel glycine max biodiesel was blended with the tire oil-diesel blends to improve performance, combustion, and exhaust emissions. The seven fuels including a 100% diesel 10–30% waste tire oil to 90-70% diesel, 10% tire oil +10% biodiesel +80% diesel, 30% tire
oil+10% biodiesel+60% diesel and 10% biodiesel+90% diesel was used as fuels in a direct injection diesel engine. Up to 30% (vol) waste tire pyrolysis oil was blended with diesel. More than 30% of waste tire pyrolysis oil shows inferior solubility issues and inferior engine performance and emissions. Thus, this investigation was limited to 30% waste tire pyrolysis oil. All fuel blends
showed similar properties to diesel. With similar engine performance, like torque, power,efficiency, energy, and exergy metrics, the blends showed insignificant variations in emissions (carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide) compared to a reference diesel fuel. Interestingly, the experimental results were compared with the modelling results, and the maximum variations between
them were 10%. The outcome of this research can promote waste tire pyrolysis oil as an alternative fuel for diesel engines and accords with alternative energy development initiatives all over the world.
Emission Characteristics of CI Engine by using Palm Bio- DieselIJERA Editor
Environmental concerns and energy crisis of the world has led to the search of alternate to the fossil fuel. FAME
(Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) is environment friendly, alternative, and non-toxic, safe; biodegradable has a high
flash point and is also termed as Bio-Diesel. The growing economic risk of relying primarily on fossil fuels with
limited reserves and Increasing prices has increased the interest on alternative energy sources. Clean and
renewable biofuels have been touted as the answer to the issue of diminishing fossil fuels. INDIA the largest
producer of palm oil has committed to focus interest on biofuels, namely palm biodiesel. Since palm oil has a
high fossil energy balance, it is a key source of raw material for biodiesel production. This paper presents palm
biodiesel as an alternative source of green renewable energy through a survey conducted from previously
researched findings. In this experimental study testing of emission characteristics and performances test of palm
Bio-diesel at various ratios form (B25%, B 50%, B75%, B100%) of Bio-diesel. As we compared with fossil fuel
(diesel) and palm bio-diesel on base of various emission elements (CO, CO2, NOx, O2, and HC).
A Review study for Enhancing the Performance & Emission for the Blend of Die...ijsrd.com
Due to the higher energy demand, constrict
emission norms and shortage in oil resources led the
researchers to find alternative fuels for IC engines. Many
alternatives fuels such as Alcohols, Biodiesel, LPG, CNG,
etc. already have been developed and commercialized. In
this context, the pyrolysis oil obtained from the waste tyre is
receiving renewed interest. The properties of the Tyre
pyrolysis oil was compared with the petroleum products and
found that it can also be used as a fuel for diesel engine. So,
tyre pyrolysis oil can be used as an alternate fuel in a diesel
engine. The present paper represents the literature review for
enhancing the performance and emission of the compression
ignition engine for the blend of pyrolysis oil of tyre and
diesel fuel.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Abstract:- Biodiesel has come to a forefront to be an alternative fuel to diesel in CI engines to reduce
the diesel consumption and reduce the environmental degradation. The objective of this work is to
elicit the problem with Biodiesel usage results in higher NOx emissions when compared to Diesel
Engines and to reduce the NOx emissions with the help of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR). CO, HC,
NOx and smoke concentration of the exhaust gas were measured to estimate the emissions
characteristics of a single cylinder four stroke air cooled direct injection (DI) diesel engine. Detailed
analysis of various blends of biodiesel and diesel was made, to elicit the precise benefits of its
extensive usage in CI engines. This analysis showed results indicating reduction in NOx emissions
with the help of EGR with little compromise in power output.
Keywords:- Transesterification , Waste cooking oil (WCO), Exhaust emission, Diesel Engine,
Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR), Combustion characteristics, Pressure crank angle.
I. INTRODUCTION
Today world is in the age of industrialization and excessive need of fuel has compelled it, to confront
with twin crisis of fossil fuel depletion and environmental degradation. Indiscriminate extraction and lavish
consumption has led to reduction of carbon resources[1]. While fossil fuels are still being created today by
underground heat and pressure, they are being consumed more rapidly than they are created. For that reason,
fossil fuels are considered non-renewable: that is they are not replaced as soon as we use them [2-3]. Hence,
alternative energy resources such as biodiesel from various edible and non-edible oils such as soya beans,
jatropha (Jatropa curcas ), sunflower and karania ( Pongamia Pinnata) has started attracting significant attention
from researchers, governments , and industries as a renewable, biodegradable, and non-toxic source.
Rudolf Diesel invented the diesel engine, he demonstrated it at the 1990 world exhibition in Paris,
employing peanut oil as fuel and said “The use of vegetable oils for engine fuels may seem insignificant today,
but such oils may become in course of time as important as petroleum and the coal tar products of the present
time” [4]. Bio fuels has been considered as a potential alternative fuel for internal combustion engines [1,4-7].
It has been found that it is not only renewable, but has zero net production of CO2 gas on global context.
Moreover, thermodynamic tests based on engine performance evaluations, have proved their low volatility and
high cetane number which makes them hold immense promise as alternative fuels. Many researchers have found
that diesel engines run successfully for longer durations and the performance and emission characteristics are
quite comparable to petroleum diesel engines [8-10]. Kalligeros et al. conducted test with biodiesel produced
from sunflower oil and olive oil in a single cylinder stationary diesel engine and found lower particulate matter,
carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxide emissions with a slight increase in volumetric fuel
consumption [11]. Altiparmak et al. conducted tests with tall oil methyl ester in direct injection diesel engine
and found lower CO emissions, lower sulphur content, higher torque and engine power output at higher engine
speeds[12]. But the usage of edible and non-edible vegetable oil makes the process of production of bio fuels
very expensive and also puts immense pressure on feedstock. The feedstock includes almost 75% of the cost of
production of biodiesel. So keeping this aspect in mind a new though easily yet viable source is found that is
waste cooking oil.
In automobiles with compression ignition engines, fuel like diesel are preferred prime movers due to
excellent drivability and higher thermal efficiency. Besides their advantages, they emit large amounts of exhaust
gases which contain green house gases and other gases like NOx, CO and smoke etc which cause damage to

people’s health. Due to these effects, human beings may suffer from various diseases, such as lung cancer,
breathing difficulties, poisoning and skin cancer etc. Hence, there is a need of controlling diesel engine
emissions[13].
Research on alternative fuels shows Bio-diesel has a promising effect on reducing emissions of CO,
CO2 and UBHC for all biodiesel and its blends without any modification on current diesel engines [13,14-15].
This is due to the fact that biodiesel has oxygen in its structure and it burns cleanly for the fuel. But it was
reported that NOx emissions are slightly high in biodiesel and its blends. Availability of high flame temperature
and abundant oxygen in the combustion chamber is the basic reason behind higher NOx emissions [17]. To
reduce this higher Nox emission, Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) can be considered a viable method.
Exhaust gas is the one gas that is readily available for engine use. Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is
done by ducting some of the exhaust flow back into the intake system, usually immediately after the throttle.
This is probably the simplest and practical method of reducing maximum flame temperature that is to dilute the
air-fuel mixture with a non-reacting parasite gas. This gas absorbs energy during combustion without
contributing any energy input. Hence, using EGR a lower flame temperature can be achieved.
CO2 and Argon gases also can be used in this concept. Due to lack of availability of these gases
generally, the exhaust gases having larger specific heats are generally preferred. One prominent advantage of
using EGR is that it doesn’t alter the air-fuel ratio of the fuel, hence there is no change in the combustion
characteristics. This method is adapted in the modern automobile and other medium sized and large engines.
However, technologies like Exhaust gas Recirculation (EGR), soot traps and exhaust gas after
treatment are vital to cater to problems posed by stringent environmental emission rules [17]. EGR is where a
part of exhaust gas is recirculated to intake so as to decrease the amount of oxygen available for nitrogen and
also to reduce flame temperatures which results in reduction in NOx emissions. The specific heat of the EGR is
much higher than fresh air, hence EGR increases the heat capacity (specific heat) of the intake charge, thus
decreasing the temperature rise for the same heat release in the combustion chamber. Even though EGR
application results in higher specific fuel consumption, it is the most effective way of reducing NOx emissions
from compression ignition (CI) engines and is widely used in order to meet the emission standards.
The objective of the present work is to investigate the effect of exhaust gas recirculation with WCO
and diesel fuel on the reduction of NOx emissions and also to investigate the pressure crank angle, combustion
characteristics, heat release and emission characteristics of a diesel engine with biodiesel as fuel with and
without EGR at percentage like 30%EGR under the same load conditions.
II. BIODIESEL PREPARATION
A. Retrieving the WCO
WCO was collected from different hotels, restaurants, canteen and cafeterias. The sample was allowed
to settle for 2-3 days and vacuum filtration was done to separate unnecessary impurities and food residues.
B. Pre-heating WCO
Before transesterification process, to ensure that the oil contained very little amount of water droplets in it ,
the filtered WCO was subjected to pre-heating to 100 degree Celsius for 15 minutes with continuous stirring
using magnetic stirrer. This helped in drying the oil.
C. Neutralization of free fatty acids
In the accumulated WCO, neutralization of free fatty acids (FFA) needs correct amount of catalyst for
avoidance of soap formation. To determine the correct amount of catalyst required , a titration was performed on
the oil to be transesterified. The sample was tested with pH paper and pH was kept to between 8-9. KOH of
weight 1 gram was measured using electronic weighing balance and its solution with 10ml water (solution A).
Another solution of 10 ml of iso-propyl alcohol and 1 ml of oil sample was made (solution B). Then, solution A
was added drop wise into solution B to achieve pH between 8-9 to determine the equivalents of KOH required
to neutralize FFA.

The alkali catalyzed transesterification was performed due to presence of majority of free fatty acids in WCO.
For transesterification of WCO in laboratory, oil was heated in a flat bottom conical flask upto 60 degree
Celsius. To ensure the prevention of methanol to reach its boiling point (78deg C), the optimum reaction
temperature was set to be 60 degree C. Equivalent of KOH determined from the neutralization of FFA process
was added to the standard KOH value to get the required KOH weight in grams that is to be added to the
reaction vessel. This KOH weight in grams was dissolved in 200 ml of water (Solution C).
Now, 1litre of filtered WCO is poured into the reaction vessel and is stirred and simultaneously heated with
the help of magnetic stirrer apparatus. Once the temperature of reaction reaches 60 degree C, 120ml of solution
C is poured in reaction vessel and is stirred for one hour maintaining constant temperature (60 degree Celsius).
Fig. 1: Transesterification Reaction
The reaction products were poured into a separating funnel and kept for approx. 6 hours for gravity separation of
glycerol with WCO methyl esters. The glycerol forms a lower layer due to higher density, which is separated
out. This oil recovered from the separating funnel was again subjected to same procedure with 80 ml of solution
C to remove the traces of glycerol and retrieve better quality of bio diesel from the WCO.
This biodiesel is then blended with petroleum diesel and various blends such as B20, B40, B80 and B100 are
prepared for conducting CI engine experiment for performance and emission characteristics.
Proper characterization of biodiesel blends and petroleum diesel is also done in laboratory as per ASTM norms.
Specific gravity of blends and kinematic viscosity is measured using Red Wood Viscometer.

EXPERIMENTAL SETUP
A four stroke single cylinder air cooled diesel engine typically used in utility vehicles was used for
conducting the engine performance tests. The specifications of the engine are given in the table 2. The engine
was coupled with AVL PRESSURE transducer GH14D/AH01, AVL INDIMICRA 602-T10602A , AVL digas
444 (five gas analyser) and AVL 437C Smoke meter for simulating the testing conditions. Data for engine speed
(rpm), exhaust gas temperature, smoke meter reading, voltage , current etc. was collected from different types of
sensors. Load was varied with the help of current variations.

Exhaust gas emissions were measured by the exhaust gas analyser. It measured CO, HC, CO2, O2, NOx and
Air/fuel mixture. The exhaust gas smoke opacity was measured by AVL 437C Smoke meter.

Fig. 2: Schematic diagram of experimental setup
Engine tests were conducted according to Indian Standard Codes [15-17]. According to this, engine
performance parameters such brake power efficiency, smoke opacity, emissions etc. were measured for each
blend. The engine was operated at 1500 rpm and data collections for combustion parameter, emission and
performance was done. This data was recorded at various loads of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%. The average of three
readings was reported in this paper.
The basis of this is the amount of flow can be only as high as 30% of the total intake. EGR combines with the
exhaust residual left in the cylinder from the previous cycle to effectively reduce the maximum combustion
temperature. Two blends with EGR 30%, B100 and pure diesel at different engine loads are run under the
specified engine and the results are tabulated and the resultant pressure-crank angle graphs are plotted
accordingly.

III. EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION
A. Nitrous oxide (NOx) emissions
NOx content in exhaust is highly toxic and EGR is mainly focused on reducing this emissions. Figure2 shows
it’s emissions for various blends with and without EGR at various loads. Emissions increases with increasing
loads. This might be due to higher amounts of fuel needed at higher loads and higher flame temperatures. A
drastic decrease in emissions in case of B100+EGR30% was noticed when compared to B100 without EGR.
The reason for the reduction of NOx emissions is that EGR system dilutes the fresh charge and decreases the
flame temperature. Another interesting aspect is that both B100 and diesel with EGR show similar emission
characteristics at any load and the question of alternate fuel is judged here.

B. Unburnt hydrocarbons (HC)
One of the side effects of EGR is increase in amount of unburnt hydrocarbons. Figure 2 shows the
variations of HC emissions with change in loads. It was observed that HC emissions increases with increase in
load. As the load increases, the amount of fuel injected also increases and due to this, the corresponding rise in
emissions can also be noticed. HC emissions are higher with increase in EGR rate as oxygen availability

decreases. B20 is having low HC emission since adding biodiesel increases presence of molecular oxygen in
biodiesel and hence full combustion occurs reducing HC emissions.
Fig. 5: Hydro carbon (HC) at various loads
C. Smoke emission characteristics
Smoke opacity also increases with respect to all loads due to dissociation of gases. Figure 4 shows the
variation of emissions with load. Due to lack of sufficient oxygen in fresh charge mixture, incomplete
combustion occurs hence emissions are higher in case of EGR. B100 is giving considerable emissions at all
loads when compared to that of diesel+ EGR 30% which gives more emissions at higher loads.
Fig. 6: Smoke opacity at various loads
D. Carbon monoxide emissions (CO)
Figure 7 shows the variation of CO emissions at various loads. CO emissions increases with increase in
load as shown and similar to hydro carbon emissions, CO emissions increases with EGR. Again these emissions
are due to lack of oxygen availability which results in partial combustion and inhaling this causes brain damage
and sometimes even death. CO emissions of B20 is lower than diesel at all loads and this is due to the
availability of oxygen in biodiesel blend when compared to that of diesel.

E. Comparison of combustion characteristics
Fig. 7: Comparison of diesel and B100 with 30% EGR at 75% load
The whole combustion process in CI engine can be divided into four stages namely ignition delay,
uncontrolled combustion phase, controlled combustion phase followed by after combustion phase. A
comparative study between diesel and biodiesel at 75% load is done in figure 5 to analyse the combustion
characteristics of pure biodiesel (B100) using EGR 30%.The path of phase1 (ignition delay) is found to be
similar in both B100 and normal diesel. But the length of preparatory phase (ignition delay) in case of B100 is
slightly more. In the phase of uncontrolled combustion, maximum pressure and maximum of rate of heat release
is achieved.
Maximum pressure is achieved at 9o
after TDC in case of B100 and 8o
after TDC in case of diesel. Peak
pressure is slightly more in case of B100. This is explained on the basis of ignition delay period. The longer the
delay, the more rapid and higher the pressure rise since more fuel would have accumulated in the cylinder
during the delay period. However, this rise is almost negligible and doesn’t cause any significant change in the
compression ratio and combustion characteristics. And moreover these changes are more likely to occur at
higher loads only.

F. Comparison of pressure crank angle characteristics
As discussed earlier, EGR is the one which does not involve any change in the combustion
characteristics of diesel engine but lower the flame temperature and reduces NOx emissions. A comparative
study on biodiesel (B100) without EGR and with 30% EGR is done as shown in figure 8 and figure 9. The
combustion characteristics is almost same with no rise in peak pressure and not much change in the heat release
rate.

Fig. 9: Pressure crank angle diagram for B100 without EGR at different loads
G. Comparison of heat release
The below graph represents heat release rates between B100 and pure diesel with 30% EGR. It was
observed that heat release for B100 was more than diesel. It can be clearly seen at highest peak in figure 8. The
reason might be due to presence of small amounts of residual methanol in biodiesel, which burns and increases
the heat release in the initial/middle stages of combustion. This can be also due to the improved combustion of
biodiesel since it has highest cetane number delivering improved combustion characteristics. The same
conclusion can be drawn for other blends also.

IV. CONCLUSIONS
In this study, the properties and combustion characteristics of biodiesel produced from waste edible oil
has been determined and these are compared to normal diesel. Also a study on EGR is done on both pure
biodiesel (B100) and diesel and the effects of various emission properties is determined. Following are some of
the statistical results from the above discussion.
Although NOx emissions can be controlled using EGR process, a costly price of increased HC
emissions and lowered thermal efficiency must be paid. However, there is a limit to this and
recirculation up to 30% exhaust gas is considered safe.
Pure biodiesel (B100) with EGR 30% has reduced NOx emissions of 30% at lower loads to 51% at
peak loads when compared to the emission properties of B100.
As said CO and HC emissions are also increased by using EGR. However this increase is not
magnified when compared to reduction in NOx emissions.
HC emissions are increased form 10 % at low loads to 30% at peak loads. CO emissions are
increased at an average of 0.5%.
Apart from the above discussion, the need for alternate fuel is justified. Because, the combustion and
emission characteristics of biodiesel (B100) and normal diesel with and without using EGR is found to be same.
Hence, even pure biodiesel cans also be used as a substitution for diesel and EGR value from 10% to 30% can
be used effectively to reduce emissions.
