One of the undesirable emissions from diesel engine is NOx emission. In order to reduce NOx emission exhaust gas recirculation is used. Regulations to reduce NOx emissions continue to become more and more stringent year by year. Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is one of the techniques used to reduce nitrogen oxides because it lowers flame temperature in the combustion chamber. However as NOx reduces, hydrocarbon (HC) emissions and smoke level increases. As the EGR rate increases the engine operation becomes instable and there is a little reduction in thermal efficiency. Alcohol fumigation is a technique used for reducing emissions and improving the thermal efficiency of the engine. An experimental set up is fabricated to facilitate EGR and ethanol fumigation in the inlet duct of the engine. Engine performance, NOx and HC emissions without EGR, with EGR and with EGR and ethanol fumigation are presented in this work.
