It is difficult to employ EGR at high loads due to drop in diffusion combustion and this may result in an excessive increase in smoke and particulate emissions.But at low loads, unburnt hydrocarbons contained in the EGR re-burn in the mixture, leading to lower unburnt fuel in the exhaust and thus improved brake thermal efficiency. Apart from this, hot EGR would raise the intake charge temperature, thereby influencing combustion and exhaust emissions. Implementation of EGR in diesel engines has problems like (a) increased sootemission, (b) introduction of particulate matter into the engine cylinders. When the engine components come into contact with high velocity soot particulates, particulate abrasion may occur. Sulphuric acid and condensed water in EGR also cause corrosion. If the exhaust gas is re-circulated directly to the intake, it results in increased intake charge temperature i.e. hot EGR. An increase in inlet charge temperature always results in shorter ignition delay and may improve thermal efficiency [3]. If the exhaust gas is cooled before recirculation to combustion chamber, then it is called cooled EGR. Cooling of EGR increases the charge density therefore improves volumetric efficiency
of the engine. The engines using EGR emit lower quantity of exhaust gases compared to non-EGR engines because part of the exhaust gas is re-circulated
[4]. It is also found that with the employment of EGR technique the thermal efficiency also increases [5]. EGR was also used in a direct injection spark ignition engine as an effective way of improving fuel economy[6-8]. But the addition of biodiesel to petro-diesel increased brake specific fuel consumption because of lower calorific value of biodiesel, but the thermal efficiency remained almost the same [9].
