Last few years world nations developments increase very rapidly by consumption of fuelsso the emission of fuels widely damaged the world climate like the word “Global Warming” isbecame very popular in now days and this is because of emission of different fuels so controlling ofemissions are very important and today different experiments are done for controlling of emissions.Today the consumption of Diesel becomes more especially in transportation and industries so forcontrolling of diesel emission I have used the Ethanol as additives and Exhaust Gas Recirculation(EGR) process combinedly.The Experiment is done on a single cylinder, 4-stroke, water cooled,kirloskar made diesel engine by mixing of ethanol in diesel by 10% and EGR at 10% , 15% and20%.Exhaust Gas Recirculation process is really useful technique in controlling oxides of nitrogen indiesel engines but it’s not give proper result at higher loads and higher percentage of recirculated gasbecause combustion tends to deteriorate at higher loads leading to reduced engine thermal efficiencyand increased hydrocarbon and smoke emission so mixing of ethanol in diesel increase cetane indexand kinematic viscosity. It has been observed from the different ratio of ethanol and EGR 10%Ethanol and 10% EGR is very effective from the others because it’s increase thermal efficiency,decrease tremendous amount of NOx, decrease fuel consumption, decrease HC at lower load,decrease O2intake in combustion chamber.only the disadvantages of ethanol is it’s increase watercontent in combustion chamber and also increases little amount of CO and CO2
