Effects of autooxidation on the fuel spray characteristics of Karanja biodiesel
TL;DR: In this article, the macroscopic spray characteristics of fresh and aged Karanja biodiesels are compared with that of diesel, and the results showed that although biodiesel's long-term storage results in variations in physical and chemical properties, there are no significant variations in the macro-scopic spraying characteristics.

Biodiesel fuel production by transesterification of oils.
TL;DR: Biodiesel (fatty acid methyl esters), which is derived from triglycerides by transesterification with methanol, has attracted considerable attention during the past decade as a renewable, biodegradable, and nontoxic fuel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiesel processing and production
TL;DR: Biodiesel is an alternative diesel fuel that is produced from vegetable oils and animal fats, which consists of the monoalkyl esters formed by a catalyzed reaction of the triglycerides in the oil or fat with a simple monohydric alcohol.

Review of biodiesel composition, properties, and specifications
TL;DR: In this paper, the fatty acid (FA) profiles of 12 common biodiesel feedstocks were summarized, and it was shown that several fuel properties, including viscosity, specific gravity, cetane number, iodine value, and low temperature performance metrics are highly correlated with the average unsaturation of the FA profiles.
