Assessment of Biofuel Blends Using Diesel-Biodiesel and Alcohol
View through CrossRef
The main characteristics fuel properties of diesel, jatropha curcus oil and fuel prepared from blends of diesel- jatropha curcus oil and diesel-jatropha curcus oil-ethanol in various proportions were studied. The relative density, API gravity, kinematic viscosity, gross heat of combustion, cloud and pour point, flash and fire point, carbon residue, ash content and total acid values were recorded and compared with diesel to study their compatibility as compression ignition engine fuel. The characteristic fuel property of jatropha curcus-diesel in 90:10 proportion was found to be close to that of diesel. The fuel properties of diesel – ethanol blends in 75:25 proportion was also found to be close to that of diesel. However, the other fuels obtained from blending jatropha curcus-diesel as well as from jatropha curcus-diesel-ethanol in various proportions deviated from diesel when higher proportions of jatropha curcus oil were blended with diesel.
