“…1 and using the values given in Table A3. The kinematic viscosity of a mixture of two methyl esters and diesel decreases with an increasing temperature, which was published by Hosamani et al (2022). Figure 1 where ν is the kinematic viscosity (mm 2 •s -1 ), T is the absolute temperature (K), and C is the concentration (vol%).…”

Due to the ever-increasing consumption of fossil fuels, their impact on the environment, and the volatility of the market, it is advisable to use biofuels that can be produced locally from renewable sources, which supports the local economy, agriculture, and related processing industries. This article deals with how to improve the flow properties and pour point of biofuels for diesel engines. For the experiment, biodiesels in the form of rapeseed methyl ester (RME) and methyl ester made from waste animal fats and tallow (WAFME) were used. The pour point, viscosity, and density of WAFME were improved by mixing with RME and/or by adding bio-alcohols (alcohols produced from biomass, e.g., lignocellulosic). All used biofuels were classified as 2nd generation biofuels. The flow properties of the mixtures were monitored and subsequently modelled at temperatures from -10 to 60 °C. The addition of bio-alcohol had a statistically significant effect on the decrease in the viscosity and pour point of ternary blends (p < 0.05). Mathematical models of the dependence of kinematic viscosity on the temperature of mixtures (power law, exponential, Arrhenius, and Vogel) were created.

<div>The European Union’s pro-ecological policy imposes a requirement to use biofuel additives in diesel fuel which is supposed to support the sustainable development of transport and limit its negative impact on the natural environment. The study presents an analysis of the exhaust gas components and the amount of solid particles carried out for internal combustion engines fueled with mixtures of diesel fuel and fatty acid methyl esters. Additionally, the computer software of the tested power units was modified by changing the amount of fuel to be supplied and the air intake. The goal of the tests was to find out how the fuel mixture and reprogramming of the computer control systems would impact the emission of exhaust gas components. Based on the tests, it was found that an additive of fatty acid methyl esters to diesel does have an influence on the tested unit parameters. The highest values were found for a mixture containing 90% diesel fuel and 10% fatty acid methyl esters, whereas the lowest ones were for a mixture composed of 50% diesel fuel and 50% fatty acid methyl esters.</div>
