Examining the emission characteristics of compression ignition (CI) engines using neem biodiesel in conjunction with ethanol and different percentages of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) was the aim of the present research. In this experiment, a four-stroke, air-cooled, single-cylinder diesel engine with a rated power output of 5.2 kW was used to change the EGR percentage from 0% to 20%. Examining engine emission parameters and comparing them to diesel fuel was the aim of the research. The experiment indicates that as the EGR fraction in the fresh mixture rises, nitrogen oxide emissions fall. the most percentage of nitrogen oxide reduction as compared to diesel operating on its own. Using ethanol with varying EGR rates may lower emissions of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide.
