Estimation of Higher Heating Value of Waste Frying Oil from its Chemical Properties

Abstract:

Vegetable oils are considered as substitute for energy production. In this paper, a correlation was developed based on iodine and saponification values of the waste frying oil to estimate its higher heating value. Five samples of waste frying oil were collected, its iodine value and saponification value were measured and the heating values were measured. A correlation by linear regression method was developed and compared with the heating value obtained experimentally. A Comparison was made with other correlations available in the literature. The comparison of higher heating value obtained from new correlation and experiments gave a R² value of 0.97, error of standard deviation is 0.06 and an average error of 1.86%.
