Abstract
The use of fuel additives in various engines improves their performance. In particular, biodiesel is considered to be a good additive in diesel fuel. It is one of the alternative fuels used in diesel engines. The use of this type of fuel is also of strategic importance in the development of the economy of the countries. The main problem is to find the optimal ratio between biofuel and conventional diesel fuel in the mixtures injected into the engine cylinders. One of the advantages of biofuel is that it significantly reduces the amount of harmful emissions from engines - especially CO and HC. Along with this advantage, there is an increase in nitrogen oxides, which are released during the combustion of the mixture of the bio-additive and ordinary diesel fuel. Many of the challenges facing the use of biofuels are related to the reduction of NOx. Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) is also used to reduce them.
