Fuel Properties of Biodiesel Produced from Balci Variety Oil of Safflower (Carthamus tinctorious L.)
Journal Title: International Journal of Automotive Engineering and Technologies - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
In this study, the production of biodiesel from the cold pressed oil of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) of Balci variety grown in Yozgat ecological condition has been carried out. The oil yield of Balci seed and the biodiesel output of the oil were studied in order to know the productivity of the oil. The fuel properties of biodiesel assessed includes, density (15oC), flash point, kinematic viscosity (40oC), cloud point, pour point, freezing point, water content, calorific value, pH and copper strip corrosion. The fuel properties of the biodiesel produced were compared with that of TS EN 14214.
