Abstract
Energy sources are an essential input in the areas of any production, but unfortunately the energy sources available not only are limited in volume and quality but also whatever is available are fast getting depleted; preserving is necessary for mankind to develop nonconventional sources of energy that not only fulfills the demand but also at the same time keeps the environment clean or green. Biodiesel takes its place as the most promising alternate fuel because of its renewability and sustainability. More stringent emission standards are being introduced all over the world with the aim of progressively reducing vehicular emission leading research to alternative combustion technologies and alternative fuels. It is high time that alternate fuels for engines are produced from indigenous sources; Jatropha oil methyl ester (JOME) from the nonedible category and fish oil methyl ester (FOME) from animal fat category have been identified as alternative fuels for this investigation. Even though biodiesel offers reduction in smoke, UBHC, and CO emissions due to the molecular oxygen present in it, NOx emissions are higher which can be reduced by using exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). This experimental investigation work though confined to analyzing the performance and emission characteristics with diesel and 20% methyl esters with and without EGR in a diesel engine also has its objective in analyzing the aggregate effect of exhaust gas recirculation with diesel and biodiesel blends. This chapter also reviews the possibility, availability, economic, and cost analysis in depth.
