Abstract:Biodiesel is an environmentally
beneficial and clean energy source
that may replace fossil fuels, which are detrimental to the environment
and cannot be replenished. Therefore, the physicochemical parameters
of biodiesel must be determined in order to verify its quality. The
cetane number is a crucial dimensionless fuel property that gauges
the fuel ignition quality in power diesel engines. A higher cetane
number results in a shorter ignition delay time, and vice versa. Biodiesel’s
cetane number may fluctuate … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
