摘要：Biodiesel, an alternative fuel can be used in diesel engines as neat or blended with diesel. The physio-chemical properties of fuel are important in design of fuel system for compression ignition engines run on diesel, biodiesel or biodiesel blends. Biodiesel (B100) standards specify the limit values of these properties for blending with diesel. However, there are variations in the properties of biodiesel. The properties of biodiesel vary depending on the feedstock, vegetable oil processing, production methods and degree of purification. The objective of this study is to estimate the mathematical relationships between viscosity, density, heating values and flash point among various biodiesel samples. There is a high regression between various properties of biodiesel and the relationships between them are observed to be considerably regular.
