Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiesel production from high FFA rubber seed oil
TL;DR: A two-step transesterification process is developed to convert the high free fatty acids (FFA) oils to its mono-esters in this article, where the important properties of biodiesel such as specific gravity, flash point, cloud point and pour point are found out and compared with that of diesel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of vegetable oils as i.c. engine fuels-a review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the production and characterization of vegetable oil as well as the experimental work carried out in various countries in this field, and the scope and challenges being faced in this area of research are clearly described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance and emission evaluation of a diesel engine fueled with methyl esters of rubber seed oil
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-step esterification method was developed to produce biodiesel from high FFA vegetable oils, which consists of acid-catalyzed pretreatment followed by an alkaline-caralyzed transesterification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization and effect of using rubber seed oil as fuel in the compression ignition engines
TL;DR: In this paper, various blends of rubber seed oil and diesel were prepared and its important properties such as viscosity, calorific value, flash point, fire point, etc. were evaluated and compared with that of diesel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Artificial neural networks used for the prediction of the cetane number of biodiesel
TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-layer feed forward, radial base, generalized regression and recurrent network models are used to predict the Cetane Number (CN) of biodiesel.
