Abstract

One of the most important elements to effect world economy and politics was sustainability of petroleum
resources. Being the main source of world energy supply, the world is presently facing with the crisis of fossil fuel
depletion and environmental degradation. Moreover, the increasing demand of petroleum in developing countries like
China, Russia and India has increased oil prices. The present work is to investigate the use of biodiesel obtained from
Teesi Seed Oil (B20) with different flow rate of Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%). A single
cylinder, water-cooled, constant speed direct injection diesel engine is used for experiments. The performance and
emission characteristics are analyzed at constant speed with varying load condition. The results obtained shows reduced
NOx emission for all EGR ratios in both diesel and biodiesel (B20).
