Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) on the performance, combustion, and emission characteristics of a diesel engine using Simarouba glauca biodiesel blends. The objective is to evaluate the feasibility of using Simarouba glauca biodiesel as an alternative fuel while employing EGR to reduce NOx emissions. The experiment was conducted on a single-cylinder diesel engine, running on B10, B20, and B30 blends with varying EGR rates (0%, 10%, and 20%). The results indicate a significant reduction in NOx emissions with EGR implementation, though at the cost of increased particulate matter and carbon monoxide emissions.
