“…Jojoba oil has high seed energy potential and negligible SO x emissions and relatively lower NOx emissions are exhausted when burned. This makes jojoba oil therefore an alternative fuel [85][86][87][88][89][90].…”

“…Jojoba oil is a source of significant combustion energy and stable at a diesel engine's high operating temperature. The oil itself and the biodiesel it produces have viscosities slightly outside the normal range of diesel fuel, but the jojoba-driven biodiesel can be circumvented in a mixture with standard diesel (Table 4) [83][84][85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94][95].…”

Unlike other crops, the jojoba shrub contains around 50% by weight of an almost odorless, colorless oil made mostly of monoesters of the straight-chain alcohols and acids, C20 and C22, with one double bond on either side. The shrub is distinct from other species. In order to create modified jojoba derivatives, scientists can modify both the olefinic group and the ester group of jojoba oil, which is detailed in this book chapter. Jojoba oil has been modified in studies for various uses. These alterations include isomerization, bromination, sulfur-chlorination, sulfurization, hydrogenation, epoxidation, hydroxymethylation, phosphonation, ethoxylation, Diels-Alder adduction, pinacol rearrangement, bonding with polyethylene, and boning with polystyrene matrix. The next paragraphs will cover all of the applications for these modified jojoba oil derivatives, including medicine, emulsifiers, detergents, surfactants, lubricating oil, lubricating oil additives, leather tanning, texture, and corrosion inhibitors.

“…The obtained oil contains long molecular chains, and the majority of the molecules contain 40-42 carbon atoms [29,30]. Several studies have investigated the combustion of jojoba biofuel on its own, mixed with diesel fuel in diesel engines [21,29,[31][32][33][34] or furnaces [33,35], as the dual-fuel mode [36], or even as solid waste [35]. In addition, the properties of the jojoba oil biofuel have been studied, measured, and modified to suit diesel engines [30,37].…”

Jojoba oil biofuel is a potential alternative to diesel fuel with attractive properties, but its flow behavior under the operating conditions of a diesel engine still needs to be clarified. In this study, the rheological properties of the jojoba biofuel are presented in assessment with diesel fuel to experimentally evaluate both their flow behaviors at different operating temperatures. A Fann-type coaxial cylinder viscometer was employed. The shear stress of the tested biofuel rises considerably with the shear rate in a marginally nonlinear manner on a logarithmic scale. Rheograms indicate that the flow behavior decreases gradually and considerably in the temperature range of 30–90 °C. The viscosity of the jojoba oil biofuel declines considerably with the decreasing applied shear rate and temperature. Based on the experimental results, a suitable model is developed for predicting the viscosity characteristics of the tested biofuel during the heating and cooling cycles of a diesel engine.
