“…Most of the biofuels contain either oleic acid (C 18 H 34 O 2 or C 18 :1) like rapeseed oil, tallow oil, corn oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, rice bran oil, mahua oil, neem oil, or Karanja oil. Other biofuels contain linoleic acid (C 18 H 32 O 2 or C 18 :2) like cotton seed oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, or soybean oil, whereas palm oil contains mainly palmitic acid (C 16 H 32 O 2 or C 16 :0) (Aydin et al, 2011;Balat, 2006).…”

The density and viscosity of several jojoba oil biodiesel-diesel fuel blends (B10, B20, B30, B50, and pure fuels B0 and B100) were measured for almost the first time according to the corresponding ASTM standards. In order to predict these properties, mixing rules are evaluated as a function of the volume fraction of biodiesel in the blend and also to check the validity of the mixing rules. The absolute percentage deviations obtained were low, demonstrating the suitability of the used mixing rules. The jojoba biodiesel and its blends have slightly higher density and viscosity, however, the kinematic viscosity may be lowered significantly by increasing the temperature of the fuel. The current work presented lacking data for the jojoba biodiesel and its blend with diesel. These data are required for further experimentation of the fuel, or for simulation and modeling purposes.

“…He reported that there was a reduction in cloud and pour point values when compared with neat diesel. F. Aydin et al [9] concluded that methyl ester prepared from corn oil had density and kinematic viscosity properties as per ASTM standards. Osmano Souza Valente et al [10] reported that maximum biodiesel concentration in the diesel meets the engine characteristics.…”

Looking at the present scenario of world’s energy consumption and its dependency on fossil fuels, biodiesel has become a ray of hope as it is environmental friendly fuel derived from plant sources. In that context the present paper reports the study of physical properties of Mahua, Pongamia and Waste cooking oil blend for usage as biodiesels in engines. Each biodiesel has its own specific properties which need to be tested before running test on a engine. The physical properties such as kinematic viscosity, flash point, fire point, density, heating values and acid values are measured for MPW (Mahua 50%, Pongamia 30%, Waste Cooking Oil 20%), PWM (Pongamia 50%, Waste Cooking Oil 30%, Mahua 20%) and WMP (Waste Cooking Oil 50%, Mahua 30%, Pongamia 20%) compositions prepared on volume basis. This study discovered that WMP biodiesel physical properties match nearly to that of diesel fuel. It is the best alternative with moderate flash point temperature, fire point temperature, better thermal efficiency, density and acid value in comparison with MPW and PWM biodiesels.

A major hurdle in commercialization of biodiesel from vegetable oil, in comparison to petroleum-based diesel fuel, is its cost of manufacturing, primarily the raw material cost. Waste cooking oil is one of the economical sources for biodiesel production. NaOH and KOH catalyzed processes for prepared of biodiesel expressed of fatty acid methyl ester were comparatively studied for refined sunflower (Helianthus annuus L) oil and waste cooking oil. Transesterification was carried out using 100% excess methanol; i.e. molar ratio of methanol to oil is 6:1 and catalyst concentration of 0.5% at 60 o C. Fuel properties and specifications such as viscosity, flash point, cloud point, pour point, density, cetane number, and acidic value are determined and compared to each other and petroleum diesel. This study characterizes the fuel properties of biodiesel produced from refined sunflower oil and waste cooking oil using two different catalysts (NaOH and KOH) to provide a comprehensive understanding of biodiesels.
