“…Higher the cetane index, less is the ignition delay. 4,5,18,54,78 Distillation test was used to evaluate the cetane number of various blends as per the standards of ASTM D4737. Cetane index of renewable diesel (66.3) is more than diesel (46.77) and biodiesel (47.97).…”

“…18,79 However, due to removal of heteroatoms, like sulfur, nitrogen, and so forth, in diesel and renewable diesel, they have poor lubricity than biodiesel. 78 Good lubrication properties are essential in a fuel, imperative for engines parts' proper functioning. Renewable diesel's lubricity is in between diesel and biodiesel.…”

The quest of moving from conventional diesel fuels to alternate fuels is never-ending.Renewable diesel stands out as it has a similar molecular structure to that of diesel.Renewable diesel from hydroprocessing of Jatropha oil in presence of ruthenium catalyst is not much researched and the same has been worked upon in this paper. The objective of this paper is to analyze physiochemical properties of renewable diesel (R100), biodiesel (B100), and blends of diesel (D100) and renewable diesel and to check the operational feasibility. Renewable diesel was mixed in 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%, by volume in diesel. It was observed that renewable diesel had better cold flow properties than diesel. Calorific value (CV) of renewable diesel and biodiesel was 1.84% and 3.92% less than diesel respectively. Present study shows up to 30% renewable diesel in diesel is a substitute fuel, as their viscosities (2.55, 2.60, 2.64cSt), densities (834.4 kg/m 3 , 831.87 kg/m 3 , 830.6 kg/m 3 ) and CVs (42.42 MJ/kg, 42.30 MJ/kg, 42.09 MJ/kg) are close to diesel (2.42cSt, 837 kg/m 3 and 42.57 MJ/ kg). This is also confirmed by a storage stability test conducted for 24 weeks. Cetane number of blends of R100 greater than 30% are found to be high; this can interfere with engine power output hence requiring amendments in current engines, which is not possible, therefore it is feasible to use blends only up to 30% of R100. GC-MS and Fourier transform infrared radiation showed a higher number of hydrocarbon atoms with diminutive oxygen percentage in R100, vis-a-vis, higher levels of unsaturation with more oxygen in B100.

“…Thus far, only limited research has been devoted to the properties of fatty acid butyl esters. The low temperature properties of rapeseed oil, soybean oil, and animal fat methyl and ethyl esters have been studied most widely [8,9]. However, no data on the low temperature of rapeseed oil butyl esters and their blends with mineral diesel fuel or alcohols have been published.…”

Possibilities for improving the cold flow properties of biodiesel fuel by blending with butanol

a b s t r a c tThis report includes an assessment of comparative studies of the cold flow properties of fuel mixtures containing mineral diesel fuel (D), rapeseed oil methyl (RME) or butyl (RBE) esters and butanol (B). The dependence of CP and CFPP on the mixture composition was presented in phase equilibrium diagrams. These experiments established that mixtures in which RME is replaced with RBE have better cold flow properties. Mixtures of any composition meet the requirements for diesel fuel used in the summer period. The concentration of rapeseed oil butyl esters in fuel used in the transitional period may be up to 78%, while for blends containing rapeseed oil methyl esters, the rapeseed oil methyl ester content may only be up to 45%. In the Arctic zone, it is possible to use fuel blends containing up to 10e14% rapeseed methyl esters and up to 18% rapeseed butyl esters.

“…Biodiesel has been applied as an alternative fuel in transportation trucks, farm and other off-road vehicles, automobiles, locomotives, aircraft, power generators, boilers and heaters. The advantages and disadvantages of biodiesel as an alternative diesel fuel have been efficiently documented (Erhan et al, 2008;Graboski & McCormick, 1998;Knothe & Dunn, 2001. One major disadvantage is the performance of biodiesel in cold weather which may compromise its year-round commercial viability in moderate temperature climates.…”
