India is a country fixated with fuel efficiency and in this regard, petrol vehicles are no match to diesel engines. Diesel engines emit harmful emissions while combustion and causes damage to health and the environment. Another major problem is the shortage of conventional fuels especially diesel Zinc oxide is one such exciting nanoparticle because of its properties such as improvement of heat transfer rate. And it increases catalytic properties and provided a higher surface to volume ratio. Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) technology has also been used in the experimentation. A Kirloskar made TV2 diesel engine has been employed to conduct the experiment at varied load. In this experiment Diesel has been considered as baseline reading and three other fuels, that is Biodiesel, Biodiesel+15% Ethanol and Biodiesel+80ppm of ZnO has been considered for comparison purpose. The engine has been run from 0% to 100% load using the 4 fuels and EGR has also been applied and the results have been evaluated, From the results, it is revealed that the BTE is increased and BSFC has reduced thus showing that the performance
