Production and Property Prediction of Biodiesel Produced from DipterocarpusAlatus

Abstract This article is a production and studying the viscosity of diesel fuel including the density. There were three part of diesel fuel for studying, pure diesel, biodiesel from DipterocarpusAlatus and mixing of pure diesel with biodiesel. The fuel was studying under standard temperature and low temperature. The properties of fuel must according to the vehicle emission standard (Euro 6) which is used in 2016. The vehicle emission standard testing at 0oC which is exhaust emission at the same time. Therefore, the studying of diesel fuel under these temperatures was interesting. In this article is studying, pure diesel, biodiesel from DipterocarpusAlatus and mixing of pure diesel with biodiesel on ratio 5, 10, 15 and 20 percentage under the ASTM D341 standard respectively. On the other hand, prediction the viscosity and density by using Riazi equation. The results of the research revealed that the density was increased when the biodiesel mixture ratio in diesel oil was increased. Resulting of using equations for predicting density and viscosity was 2% difference from the experimental data. Keywords: Biodiesel fuel produced from Dipterocarpusalatus, Density, Viscosity
