AB  - The hydrous ethanol combined with theturbocharged engine with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) has been investigatedwith a phenomenological simulation model. This paper analyzes the influence ofthe low pressure and high pressure cooled EGR, the intercooler and the amountof recirculated gases, as they affect the performance parameters in a spark-ignitedethanol-fueled engine. Using a phenomenological model developed in Matlab®, thebehavior of the pressure and temperature curves is analyzed considering thevariation of the crank angle, the formation of NOx, and the tendency forknocking. The fuel analyzed is hydrous ethanol (E95h - 5%water by volume),which is widely used in Brazil. Theproposed technique showed an increased power using the intercooler (IC) whileavoiding knocking. This study showed that the use of a cooled EGR and turbochargedSI results in increased power, while alsoreducing NOx formation, and preventing or reducing engine knocking. In some engines, the low pressure cooled EGR is betterthan high pressure, but this can be different for another engine. The model helps to find the best or more adequately equipped for each modelof engine.
