Abstract
Currently, there is a desire to extend or enhance petroleum-derived diesel fuel with biodiesel fuel. Biodiesel fuel is a renewable, biomass-derived fluid that is biodegradable and nontoxic and can impart increased lubricity to petroleum-derived diesel fuels. In this paper, we analyze the properties of two biodiesel fuels produced from different feedstocks by use of the advanced distillation curve (ADC) method. The biodiesel fuels include a soybean-derived biodiesel fuel, SME, and a cuphea-derived biodiesel fuel, CME. Specifically, we present the thermodynamically consistent distillation curves and use the composition channel to characterize the curves in terms of composition and available energy content. This work provides a basis of comparison among these fuels in terms of the fundamental thermophysical properties. This comparison will be critical in determining the applicability and suitability of feedstocks designed for the production and manufacturing of biodiesel fuel to enhance or extend current pet...
