Effect of Corn Oil Methyl Ester and Exhaust Gas Recirculation on Performance and Emission Characteristics of Diesel Engine

Abstract

The current research work on the effect of exhaust gas recirculation on the diesel engine for the analysis of performance and emission characteristics with corn oil methyl ester blends. The engine was tested with three fuels are 100 diesel, 20 B (20% COME + 80% Diesel) and 40 B (40% COME + 60% Diesel) with EGR condition of 0% and 20% rate. The engine was evaluated with performance characteristics such as thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption, exhaust gas temperature and emissions such as carbon dioxide, hydrocarbon, oxides of nitrogen and particulate matter. The analyzed results of the brake thermal efficiency were reduced with increased brake specific consumption and the exhaust emissions are decreased with the increase of biodiesel blend and increased EGR rate.
