Analysis of Blended Fuel Properties and Engine Performance with Palm Biodiesel-diesel Blended Fuel

Depleting fossil fuel sources accompanied by continuously growing energy demands lead to increased interest in alternative energy sources. Blended biodieselediesel fuel has been approved as a commercial fuel at a low blending ratio. However, problems related to fuel properties are persistent at hi...
