| Abstract | Diesel fuels composition and cold flow properties vary greatly across the European Union. Cold flow characteristics of diesel fuels are influenced by the source of the crude oil they are made from, how they are refined and if they are blended to improve performance during cold weather. The cold temperature properties of biodiesel blends vary across the country depending on the time of year the fuel is produced and the climate. In this study, the density, and viscosity of biodiesel-diesel fuel blends were measured. In order to predict these properties, mixing rule was evaluated as a function of the volume fraction of biodiesel in the blend. For the experiments were used four types of biodiesel. The results of the experimentation show that biodiesel blends with lower biodiesel content can be a suitable option for use in automotive fuel systems in cold weather conditions. |
