Abstract

Herein we try to export equations which describe the variation of heat of combustion in blends of Diesel fuel with Biodiesel. Using specific volume of these blends, we determine heat of combustion, in order to study the contribution of each kind of Biodiesel and we convert the statistical data into mathematic relations as a specific formula, attempting to achieve an empirical evaluation.
