Abstract:
Biodiesel is becoming prominent among the alternatives to conventional petro-diesel due to economic, environmental and social factors. The physical and chemical properties of pure jatropha biodiesel (B100) and blended jatripha (B50) were assessed for their potential in biodiesel. The properties of B100 and B50 were compared with petrodiesel and B 20. ASTM Standards (ASTM6751) showed that the kinematic viscosity of B100 is high and cannot be use for engine .B50 is within the standards range in spite that its kinematic viscosity is at the upper limit of working conditions.
