Abstracts: Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is a technique, which is being used widely to reduce and control the NOx emissions from diesel engines. However, the use of EGR leads to rise in soot emission because of soot–NOx trade-off. This EGR generated soot leads to several other problems inside the engine like degradation of lubricating oil, enhanced engine wear etc. which can be minimized by using catalyst converter In the present study, an experimental investigation has been carried out to evaluate the effect of EGR on various engine parameters and emission parameters. This soot carrying emission is passed through catalyst converter where soot content will be reduced
