Investigation of Kinematic Viscosity of Pistacia Chinensis-Based Biodiesel Fuel

Abstract:

The compositions and kinematic viscosity of Pistacia Chinensis-based biodiesel (PCME) are investigated. Viscosity temperature equations are proposed for predicting kinematic viscosity of PCME and its blends with 0 petrodiesel (0PD) /-10 petrodiesel (-10PD) at different temperature. In this work, we show that PCME is mainly composed of fatty acid methyl esters of 14-24 even-numbered C atoms: C_14:0-C_24:0, C_16:1-C₂₂_:1, C_18:₂-C₂₀_:₂ and C_18:3. PCME has higher kinematic viscosity and unfavorable viscosity temperature property, its kinematic viscosity (40 °C) is 5.99 mm²/s. An approach to reduce viscosity and enhance viscosity temperature property is put forward: blending with 0 PD/-10PD.
