In present situation global warming and air pollution are the major concern for the living world. One of the relatively eco-friendly fuel to replace diesel is biodiesel. Milkscum is one of the feedstocks available in many countries of the world. In the present experiment biodiesel produced from dairy waste by transesterification process. Further the effect of exhaust gas recirculation on the performance and emission characteristics of a CI engine was evaluated. The usage of biodiesel gives higher NOx emission from CI engine. For the present work four different blends of fuels are used i.e. Diesel& MSMEB20 (milk scum methyl ester 20% + diesel 80%). The different EGR rates used are 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% are considered for this study. The BTE is increased by 17.95% and BSFC is reduced by 13.33% in terms of performance. The emission characteristics, CO, UHC was increased by 46.93 and 24.2 % respectively whereas the NOx and CO2 was reduced by 54.90 and 22.03 % respectively for MSMEB20 blend at full load condition.
