“…That is the main problem in using these fatty material, since the existence of micro crystals in the fuel might cause problems in the engine ignition and operation [159,160]. These problems are avoided through the production of blends of biodiesel with mineral diesel, given that in additions of 40% of normal diesel to biodiesel, the physical variations of the fuel are almost unnoticeable [159].…”

“…The increase of CME biodiesel surface tension is due to the presence of alkyl ester in biodiesel blends. It increases the intermolecular forces between fuel molecules, strengthening the weak intermolecular forces between hydrocarbon chains in diesel fuel [26]. Lower viscosity of CME biodiesel blends is related to the fuel carbon size and chain length of fatty acid, as explained in [27,28].…”

This paper presents an investigation on the combustion performance of different Coconut Methyl Ester (CME) biodiesel blends with Conventional Diesel Fuel (CDF) under B5 (5% CME, 95% CDF), B15 (15% CME, 85% CDF), and B25 (25% CME, 75% CDF) conditions. The performances of these fuels were evaluated based on the temperature profiles of the combustor wall and emission concentration of Oxides of Nitrogen (NO x ), Sulphur Dioxide (SO 2 ), and Carbon Monoxide (CO). The fuel properties of the CME biodiesel blends were measured and compared with CDF. All tested fuels were combusted using an open-ended combustion chamber at three different equivalence ratios, i.e., lean fuel to air mixture (Φ = 0.8), stoichiometry (Φ = 1.0), and rich fuel to air mixture (Φ =1.2), using a standard solid spray fuel nozzle. The results indicated that CME biodiesel blends combust at a lower temperature and produce less emission in comparison with CDF for all equivalence ratios. Moreover, the increase of CME content in biodiesel blends reduced the temperature of the combustor wall and the emission concentration. Results also proved that the utilization of biodiesel is beneficial to various industrial applications, especially in the transportation sector due to it being environmentally friendly, and serves as an alternative to petroleum diesel fuel.

“…Animal fats are preferred as an important alternative biodiesel feedstock because of their relatively low costs. However, the large content of saturated fatty acids negatively impacts the flow performance of biodiesel in cold climate . Dogan and Temur improved cold flow properties of beef tallow biodiesel by removal of saturated methyl esters using fractional crystallization process, also known as winterization.…”

Summary The use of biodiesel as a diesel fuel alternative is rapidly increasing. An important aspect of applying this alternative is the transportation and application in cold weather. In this article, different kinds of methods and technologies were briefly reviewed to improve the low‐temperature properties of biodiesel. The compositions of fatty acids would be effectively changed by choosing available material with high content of unsaturated fatty acids or by reducing saturated fatty acids via winterization process. Branched alcohols can be used to change biodiesel structures that improve the low‐temperature properties. As a technically feasible method, there is still a constant demand to search cost‐effective raw materials for economic branched alcohols production. In order to enhance the impact of crystal morphology and decrease freezing point, the blending chemical additives and petroleum fuels would be a promising method that have been widely used. Besides, other treatments such as epoxidation, hydroisomerization, and ozonization were also discussed. However, each method applied for improving low‐temperature properties of biodiesel should be effective and economical so that the biodiesel would continue to compete with fossil and other renewable fuels for market share.
