LITERATURE SURVEY
S No 1. Literature Title Inference Huang Z, Ren Y, Jiang D. Combustion and 1)With more addition of emission characteristics of a compression DMM, smoke and CO will ignition fuelled with Diesel-Dimethoxy decrease but NOX will methane blends .Energy Conversion and increases. Management 2006;47:1402-15 2)Brake Thermal Efficiency will increases by 0.5% for addition of 20% of DMM with diesel.

1)Increasing EGR ratio decreases NOx to a large extent but increase CO emission sharply this is due to decrease of oxidation at later combustion phase is responsible. 2)Brake thermal Efficiency will decrease with increase in EGR ratio .
1)Expect NOX emission other emissions like HC,PM and CO will decrease .Also engine power output will decrease due to reduction of lower heating value of biodiesel.
