Abstract

To minimize use of biodiesels synthesized from edible oils like Palm due to raising food versus fuel issue, Palm biodiesel (PBD) was blended with biodiesels derived from tree borne non-edible oil seeds Jatropha, and Pongamia to examine the effect on cloud point (CP) and pour point (PP) of PBD. Dependence of CP and PP on esters of fatty acid composition was also examined. Good correlations between CP and palmitic acid methyl ester (PAME) and between PP and PAME were obtained. A correlation between CP and total unsaturated fatty acid methyl ester (X) was also obtained and correlation between PP and X was also determined. Using these four correlations, cloud and pour points of different biodiesel blends can be determined.
