Fuel Parameter Analysis from Kerosene Blended with Biodiesel and Diesel Fuel

Abstract

Biodiesel is one of the potential materials that can be used to substitute for diesel fuel. The raw material is made from vegetable oil that can be renewed, produced periodically, and is easily obtained. The analysis was carried out by using kerosene blended to diesel and biodiesel. Kerosene is a colourless and flammable hydrocarbon liquid, and it was used as fuel oil. The purpose of this research is to analyse the parameters from Kerosene Blended with Biodiesel and Diesel Fuel. The materials are from Biodiesel and Diesel Fuel blended with kerosene with different percentages 80, 85, 90 and 95. The method was used by ASTM D445-19a, ASTM D1298-12b, ASTM D4737-10, and ASTM D86-17. The results of the analysis uses 5% to 95% volume, show that the A95-BS model mixture of biodiesel and diesel is poor, besides that A80-BS and A85-BS with a value of 375, in each viscosity 2.456 cSt kg/m, the performance is excellent for two mixtures, and A80-S model with a value of 357 with viscosity 2,378 cSt kg/m is excellent performance for one type of mixture.
