“…It has been found that the factors that affect oxidative stability can be determined by assessing the induction period and acidity. Rancimat [17] and Pressurized Differential Scanning Calorimetry (P-DSC) [17,18] have been used as analytical tools for thermal-oxidative properties of biodiesel. It was observed that the induction period at different storage times was dependent on the degree of saturation of fatty acid methyl esters [19].…”

Diesel fuel mixtures with high concentrations of biodiesel have been investigated to analyze the technical feasibility of their use in diesel cycle engines regarding thermal and oxidative properties. The results of combined techniques of oxidative stability, high Pressurized Differential Scanning Calorimetry (P-DSC), Calculated Cetane Index (CCI), and calorific power were used to verify the effect of the thermal-oxidative stability as a function of the percentage of biodiesel in the mixtures. The obtained results evidenced that the thermal and oxidative stability decreased with the addition of biodiesel from 50 to 5% v/v. Low stability fuels require rapid use as the oxidation compounds degrade the product and impair vehicle performance, as well as lead to corrosion and clogging problems in various mechanical systems.
