Abstract

Physicochemical properties characterization a mixture of biodiesel and kerosene were carried out toinvestigate their potential use as a substituted diesel fuel for domestic purposes. The characteristic assessmentswere done by comparing the standard requirement for diesel fuel. The properties characterization of thebiodiesel 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 blendswith kerosene in proportion at 2.5:97.5, 5:95, 10:90, 15:85, 20:80, 30:70, and 50:50 was found mostlymeet the requirement the specifi cation of diesel fuel. Biodiesel is mixed with kerosene to bring many of thebenefi cial 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.
