As the fuel price and crisis for fuel is goes on increasing day by day, it is very much necessary to use renewable source of energy for meeting our requirements. The use of internal combustion engine for various applications such as power generation, Marine, Transportation etc, always exposes for searching a new alternative fuel which is most economical as well renewable so that dependency on the fossil fuel for engine applications will be reduces. In that context this paper depicts the use of biodiesel as alternative fuel for IC engines. This experimental investigation were carried out on single cylinder 4-stroke diesel engine operated with Tallow oil methyl ester (TOME) Biodiesel and diesel blends with and without EGR and performance and emission characteristics, from the results obtained, for blend B40D60 (without EGR) at 260bar Injection opening pressure (IOP) and Injection Timing (IT) 19°bTDC it’s having higher Break Thermal Efficiency (BTE) of 29.7% as compared with other blends B10, B20 and B30. For blend B40D66 its having less emission of CO (0.03%), CO2 (1.49%), HC (41ppm) and Smoke density (32.01HSU) as compared with other blends and diesel for the same load condition. For the blend B40D60 (with EGR 20%) increased in BTE (30.81%) and decrease in the emissions of CO (0.023%), CO2 (1.24%), HC (34ppm) and Smoke density (31.1HSU), compared the optimized blend result with diesel results.
