The study titled “Performance and Emission Studies on a 4 stroke Diesel Engine Using Methyl Ester of ALGAE Oil with EGR” involves detail investigation of characteristics (performance and emission] of Blends of Methyl Esters of ALGAE oil by varying the EGR control value (5 to 20%] using direct injection diesel engine.From the preceding studies on similar title it’s established that the release of NOX is higher in ALGAE based biodiesel.The focus of this study is about the NOX emission and how it can be reduced by using the cooled EGR.

In the present work, the combustion, performance and emission characteristics of sunflower oil, sunflower methyl ester and its blends were studied and compared with diesel by employing them as fuel in a single cylinder, direct injection, 4.4 KW, air cooled diesel engine. Emission measurements were carried out using five-gas exhaust gas analyzer and smoke meter. The performance characteristics of Sunflower oil, Sunflower methyl ester and its blends were comparable with those of diesel. The components of exhaust such as HC, CO, NOx and soot concentration of the fuels were measured and presented as a function of load and it was observed that the blends had similar performance and emission characteristics as those of diesel. NOx emissions of sunflower oil methyl ester were slightly higher than that of diesel but that of sunflower oil was slightly lower than that of diesel. With respect to the combustion characteristics it was found that the biofuels have lower ignition delay than diesel. The heat release rate was very high for diesel than for the biofuel.

Extensive usage of automobiles with conventional fuels has led to excessive air pollution. This adverse situation initiated a need for developing an alternative fuels which can resolve pollution problems and act as a substitute to conventional fuel. One such alternative identified is biodiesel. In this study waste cooking oil and fish oil is used to prepare blends of F10, F20, F30 and C10, C20, C30. These blends are used to evaluate the performance and emission of a computerized P244 Kirloskar single cylinder four stroke water cooled diesel engine.
