- Abstract:
- The present work describes an experimental investigation concerning the electric energy generation using blends of diesel and soybean biodiesel. The soybean biodiesel was produced by a transesterification process of the soybean oil using methanol in the presence of a catalyst (KOH). The properties (density, flash point, viscosiy, pour point, cetane index, conradson carbon residue and distillation) of the diesel and soybean biodiesel were determined. The exhaust emissions (CO, CO2, CxHy, O2, NO, NOx and SO2) were, also, studied. The results show that the use of diesel-soybean biodiesel as fuel blends in stationary engine is an alternative for the sustainable development.
