Abstract

Physicochemical properties characterization a mixture of biodiesel and kerosene were carried out to investigate their potential use as a substituted diesel fuel for domestic purposes. The characteristic assessments were done by comparing the standard requirement for diesel fuel. The properties characterization of the biodiesel blends with kerosene were density, viscosity, pour point, cloud point, distillation, and cetane number, which is related to the cold fl ow properties of biodiesel. The characteristics fuel property of biodiesel blends with kerosene in proportion at 2.5:97.5, 5:95, 10:90, 15:85, 20:80, 30:70, and 50:50 was found mostly meet the requirement the specification of diesel fuel. Biodiesel is mixed with kerosene to bring many of the beneficial characteristics to be a substituted diesel fuel. Overall physicochemical characteristics of blendingfuel were reduced by the increasing of kerosene concentrations. Kerosene can play a role as a diluent agentto reduce the characteristic of cold fl ow properties of biodiesel
