Abstract

Biodiesel is a potential alternative for currently working Internal Combustion Engine. The engine performance of the currently working diesel engine can be compared with the engine characteristics such as Cetane number. Cetane number is determined using the correlation of it to the viscosity, flash point, calorific value and density. For these properties correlation is developed. For room temperature (298 K), cetane number is evaluated. It is observed that the cetane number is having linear correlation with all the above mentioned properties. For Jatropha based biodiesel and petro diesel blends, it is observed that with increase in blend percentage the cetane number is increasing.
