With the enormous energy demand and environmental concern the interest on the alternate fuels to the diesel engine has been increased. This simulated the world wide search for the renewable, less pollutant and agricultural based alternate fuel. In our country majority of the people lives in the villages and depends on the agriculture. Further, if this alternate fuel is prepared by the farmers, they become independent for their needs. Among all the crops, aloevera is best based on its properties. In the diesel engines much amount of heat is lost in exhaust. This heat can be utilized with exhaust gas recirculation system. The present experimental work is focused on the performance and emissions of the aloevera and diesel blends with EGR system. Here the EGR is maintained at constant (5%). The experiment conducted on single cylinder, four stroke, constant speed, water cooled, electric loaded, D.I Diesel Engine. The acquired data is analyzed for various blends of aloevera and diesel blends and the same is presented
